The house looks great! I'm very impressed with your work, having your company handle the work on this structural damage has been the only good thing to come out of this mess. I was particularly impressed with the floors. I was so worried that the new hardwood floors would never match up properly with the old hardwood floors that have been in place since 1926. The match is stunning! In addition, your professionalism and that of your crew, especially Jesse, was an absolute pleasure and refreshing change. Your staff at the office, although I never met them in person, always knew who I was when I called and they were prompt and polite in dealing with my questions. I appreciated their sense of humor through this experience. Thank you so much for alerting me to problems, explaining the procedure in rebuilding, running around to help me select tile for a house that I lost patience with and simply being an exceptionally helpful and supportive person in this process. Your kindness, patience and concern for my well-being really meant a lot to me.

I have known Norm since 2002, when he first came to the Fort Myers area and gave a presentation on hurricane preparedness. In 2004, when hurricane Charlie came through and made landfall in the City of Punta Gorda and then traveled up the center of the State, I introduced Norm and his company to several of the cities and counties that are members of our PRM group to repair damage they sustained. Hammer Construction repaired the City and County owned properties for those members. Subsequently, they did the same for properties in Hendry County that were damaged by Hurricane Jeanne. The knowledge of construction, honesty, and commitment to excellence Norm brings to his company are unparalleled. I would recommend Norm Newell and his company, Hammer Construction Corp., to our members and anyone else for that matter.

I have been dealing with Mr. Vandenburg during the repair and reconstruction of my Miami apartment. The apartment was severely damaged in a flood and has required extensive repair and reconstruction. The project required communication and cooperation in order to obtain the best result. Mr. Vandenburg has provided the utmost in guidance, communication and oversight and is clearly responsible for the excellent outcome and the efficient and timely manner in which the work was completed. It was a pleasure dealing with him and I'm sure that you know how lucky you are to have such a "complete" Project Manager on your staff.

Thank you for the performance of your associate Aaron Devlon and his management of the work/renovations being done at St. Malachy Catholic Church. He is always prompt, courteous and very concerned as to meeting our needs. Please thank him for being a fine representation of your company.

Thank you for sending a wonderful crew that worked in the renovation of my office. It is such a pleasant experience for me coming back to the place with everything in order, neat and all the furniture rearranged to my request. Again my special thanks for these hard working employees; Mr. Raymond Rodriguez and his accommodating crews Pedro C., Luis C., Humbertoc., and Dallas C. My sincere thanks and may God bless you all and your company.

My home was severely damaged by fire in May, 2000, and the restoration was/is being done by Hammer Construction Company of Miami, Florida and gratefully through Universal Insurance Company. I wanted you to know what a fine job President Norm Newell of Hammer has done in completing this project. In all instances, Norm has exhibited professionalism and thoroughness. Furthermore, his carefully selected staff is to be commended for their hard work and quality workmanship. In my mind, if you want restoration done well, simply "call Norm". Although losing one's home to a fire is a traumatic experience, it is heartening to know that Universal uses experts who restore that home to its original, beautiful condition. That in itself, is a reflection on the quality of Universal Insurance Company and those such as you who administer those claims.
