My wife and I have a one hundred year old home located in the
West End of
Peninsular Halifax which required a major basement renovation.
About six
months ago we started to encounter plumbing problems and our basement
was
leaking quite heavily during rain storms. Since we have two small
children
we feared that this would create an unhealthy environment in the
rest of the
home, as the basement was completely unlivable! We also realized
we required
more space in our home and the only alternative was to overhaul
the
basement, which would require a huge amount of work as it was nothing
more
than a cellar.
Therefore the process for finding a suitable contractor
began. I cannot
tell you how difficult this was as many had no idea on how to appropriately
tackle this problem. Dwight Habermehl was the only one able to
come into our
home and offer viable solutions for our basement that would work
within the
budget that we had. Dwight recommended that we dig down and replace
all the
plumbing, provide adequate drainage to produce a basement that
was healthy
and livable. Dwight and his crew were fantastic as they were consistently
helpful and approachable throughout the entire process. We were
so impressed
with this group and their inherent professionalism that we recommend
them at
every turn.
The basement that we have now is completely one hundred and eighty
degrees from where it was. We have been left with a living space
that we are
proud to show our family and friends, as it is utterly beautiful!
I am
Senior Manager of Facilities for a large Government Department
and I have
managed to employ a lot of contractors but I would put Dwight Habermehl
and
his group in the top two!

“We spent the last two years trying to figure out what to
do with our unfinished basement but just couldn’t seem to
make up our minds. That was before we called Dwight at Habermehl
Builders. Dwight gave us some great ideas from the beginning and
throughout the entire project about layout, design and costings,
and we were kept appraised of all costings throughout the project
so it was easy to keep to our budget. Habermehl Builders has some
truly great craftsmen and the pride they take in their work shows.
Our only regret is that we didn’t call Habermehl Builders
sooner. We are so pleased with our finished basement and take great
delight in showing it off to our friends and family”.

“I'd like to pass along my note of thanks to you and your
team for the wonderful job done on our basement renovation. We
had been planning this update for many years and your hard work
made our vision a reality. This was no trivial project. The replacement
of two jackposts with an engineered beam, a complete bathroom with
lift pump, a beautiful custom stariwell installation and exterior
work isn't something to be left to amateurs. We really appreciated
the daily email updates of project status and the fast response
time with discrepancies. It's been a year now and I'm happy to
say we have not had a single issue…”
- S. Walsh, Waverley
“We worked with Habermehl Builders on a complete renovation
of our basement area to build a den, home office and bathroom.
We found HAbermehl Builders to be very good to work with through
all stages of the project including the design and layout of the
space, the construction and carpentry phase and the finish work
phase. Dwight offered very helpful suggestions and ideas on how
best to utilize and design the space including construction techniques,
room size, lighting and all finishes. His team always left the
site in a clean and safe condition and were very good to work with
through the entire project. From our experience we would work with
Habermehl Builders again on future projects…”

“Just a note to let you know how pleased I am with the recent
work you and your crew did on our waterfront home. We had an urgent
need to deal with a roof leak and you responded quickly. We also
wanted a quality and professional job to match the rest of the
homes construction quality. You found a quality product for low
pitch area and it looks great. I also appreciated you keeping me
posted as to progress since we are living in another province.
You went beyond expectations by pointing out some deficiencies
with regards to ventilation and options to deal with it. When we
visited recently, everything checked out great. Thanks Dwight for
making this a pleasant process …”

“Attention to detail and customer satisfaction. These are
the two traits that stood out the most as the Habermehl Builders
came and constructed a deck on teh front of our house. We have
been nothing but impressed with the quality of workmanship as we
now site out on the deck getting to know our neighbours and enjoying
the evening's sunsets. This has proven to be a valuable addition
to our home …”
- R. Laidlaw, Dartmouth
“Our renovations were handled in a very professional manner
by a great team of skilled crafts and trades people…”

“I have always recommended Dwight to my clients with the
utmost confidence. His work just speaks for itself …”
