"I'd say Don is the greatest contractor around. He's very professional, personable, and honest. He's always willing to help and go the extra mile for me. I'd say to use him.
I think the fact that he knows what he's doing, he's very honest, knowledgeable, and hardworking. I also liked how easy it was to work with him. I was impressed with how thorough and detailed he was."
Lucy D.
"I think Don Hays is so incredibly respectful and personable. He has great ideas, he sticks to the budget, and he definitely tries his best to find ways to economize.
I honestly feel like I've been working with him for forever. At the end of the day, I just liked having him and his crew around. They were all awesome. I'm about to start my third project with him very soon, which I'm super excited about. He does the best quality work I've ever seen for an honest and fair price."

"Can I give them a '10+'? There is no other place that I'd ever go. I worked mostly with Don. They really listened to me regarding my vision of what I had in mind, instead of how they thought it should be. They were reliable, and they had great ethics. The job was done perfectly. The deck was done and sealed. It was perfect. They were so good that the neighbors were watching, talk about customer satisfaction."
Annie N.
"They were very responsive and open to our questions. It made a great working relationship. If there were any issues, we were able to work through them. They cleaned up the house really well, including the deck. They were really awesome."
Heather B.
"We liked the way they listened and worked with our ideas. The end result was true to the vision that we had. Their standards, and quality of their work and materials was very high. The result is beautiful."
Hildi B.
I'd give him the highest recommendation. He's honest, hardworking, and good at working through issues.
He delivered on time and on budget."
Derek T.
"We plan to use them in the immediate future. They came in at the right bid, stayed on budget, and finished when they said they would. Their communication was good. They were open and responsive to anything we had to say. The finished product was great. We have recommended them to many of our friends."
