  • "I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I needed them again."

    “H&M hooked us up to town sewer and decommissioned our septic. Their price was very competitive and they were very responsive. They performed the work all in 1 day including clean up and adding top soil. I would hire them again in a heart beat if I needed them again. Thanks!”

    —James H.

  • "Excellent! Professional, communicative, and competitive."

    EXCELLENT! Professional, communicative, and competitive. Chris did everything he said he would and did it when he said he would. We've lived in our home for 20 years. We've only had 3 contractors follow through on everything they said that they would do without issues, excuses or problems.

    People in our neighborhood, that we've never met, have stopped by to comment on how quickly the job was done and how good our yard looked after having gone through such a disruptive project.

    We'd give H&M 6 stars if we could! Thanks guys!! 

    —Mary C.

  • "They were extremely responsive, polite and professional, reasonably priced, and got the job done in a matter of hours."

    Chris and his team did an excellent job with the repairs they made to our drain line. They were extremely responsive, polite and professional, reasonably priced, and got the job done in a matter of hours. I highly recommend H&M!

  • "I was extremely impressed with how quickly they got back to me and how quickly the work was done."

    “I called on a Thursday with a sewer issue, and they showed up to give me an estimate on Friday. Zach and his crew were professional and amazing and told me what to expect as they came up with a plan, and then tweaked it a little bit as well. They arrived the following Tuesday to do the work and they were done in about 7 hours. I was extremely impressed with how quickly they got back to me and how quickly the work was done. I highly recommend them!”

    —Johnny A.

  • "Will be using them in the future as well as recommending to family and friends."
