Now that I have a moment in what is usually a whirlwind of teacher and student orientations, I wanted to briefly thank you for the employees and work of Hammer Construction. In the almost three weeks they have been diligently working on our buildings, they have kept their efforts running smoothly. This has been no easy task, since they are fixing past problems that were just covered up. At the moment I am glad to say the front part of the school looks freshm and I imagine our school will look even better when fully completed. Hammer construction has met all the demands of their task and my additional requests with the utmost sensitivity and professionalism.

I wish to express my gratitude for the exceptional work that was done on my bathroom. This may not have been the biggest of projects but with the delays I had to ask for due to a family emergency that occurred on Thanksgiving, it was challenging, but with the patience you provided, the work was completed as expected. Gary Rodriguez was instrumental in making sure that I was aware of what was going on, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt satisfied. It is not everyday that I am able to work with someone that is very busy and yet makes me feel important like he did. I appreciate that very much. Thank you for the great work.

I am writing this letter as a reference for Hammer Construction, Inc. This company assisted the City of Punta Gorda with its efforts to clean up and restore City facilities after Hurricane Charley struck on August 13, 2004. Hammer Construction's response after the disaster was timely. It quickly places restoration crews on the ground at the hardest hit sites. I found Hammer's personnel to be knowledgeable, capable and cooperative, and they generally went about their work while creating a minimum of interruption to City services. The City of Punta Gorda is quite satisfied with the work that Hammer completed. One of the sites at which they spent a great deal of time was the historic City Hall. The finished product was well worth the wait in terms of quality and restoration to historic standards. I would recommend Hammer Construction for restoration work in the event of a disaster similar to that which the City of Punta Gorda endured as a result of Hurricane Charley. Please do not hesitate to give me a call if you wish additional details with respect to the work that was carried out on behalf of the City of Punta Gorda by this firm.

I'm so grateful for the beautiful new custom handicap accessible kitchen! Thank you for making a difference in my life and helping me. You have a big heart and I really appreciate your kindness and generosity.

I wish to thank Hammer Construction Quality Restoration and Ronnie Mack for his work at Stella Maris House. Mr. Mack always checks the jobs and makes sure that all is going well. He comes into my office to keep me informed of the latest details. He isn't just friendly, but caring as well. He and his group work excellently together. Stella Maris House is happy with the job he is doing. Once again, thank you for Mr. McLeroy.

Recently, your company completed work for my mother, Sara Musiker, in her condo in Deerfield Beach. This was, in fact, the second "restoration" project your company completed in the past two years. Both of these projects were results of water damage caused by broken water heaters in my mother's building. The first time, Hammer Construction was recommended to be the contractor by my mother's insurance company. The second time, I was 100% sure that your company was the only I would call to make necessary repairs. This is all because of the positive experience both my mother and I had with Ray Vandenburg as well as Amanda and your capable crews who completed the work. Please let me back up a bit. My mother is 94 and, by choice, lives by herself in Deerfield Beach, I live in Los Angeles. She has a vision and mobility issues. So most of the decisions to be made fell on me. Ray was constantly in contact with me throughout the entire process both times. When he promised something was going to happen -- whether it was your crew showing up, emailing me photos of samples, checking in with my mother, or Amanda emailing copies of permits and plans -- it happened. Additionally, in daily conversations with my mother, she was always complimentary of everyone from Hammer who worked on her condo. I would like you to know how thankful both my mother and I are for all Ray has done helping my mother over the past two years. I am sure you know how valuable Ray is to your company and just want to acknowledge all he has done. You are lucky to have Ray as an employee and we are even luckier to have worked with him both times.
