The company
Island Hammer is a full-service general contractor specializing in remodeling, repairs and renovations, for residential and commercial projects.
The company keeps several resources for tracking current material and labor costs for homes and businesses, which supports realistic pricing and good value. The personal attention given to each construction project reflects efficient, responsible project management practices meant to deliver consistent results every time.
That consistency leads to two things owners value most: reliable scheduling and budget control. Both are treated as part of the service.
The work spans kitchen and bathroom remodels, renovations and additions, decks and rails, window and door installation and replacement, sunrooms and porch enclosures, basement conversions, home office additions and structural repairs.
