  We had a wonderful experience working with Homemade Construction. Rick and his crew were thorough, efficient and friendly while removing our worn out deck and replacing it with a beautiful sceened in porch and deck. Rick’s attention to detail and architectural experience helped with roof alignment and suggestions for overall comfort and efficiency. Would highly Homemade Construction.

  Home Made Construction just finished replacing our deck and screened porch. Let me say that we are 100% satisfied with the entire project, process, and absolutely recommend Home Made Construction. The owner, Rick Hockenberry, has built a team that is extremely skilled, professional, friendly, and prompt every day. They communicate exceptionally well and kept us informed throughout the job, and Rick personally provided regular updates on the project's progress from beginning to end. Before we hired Home Made Construction, Rick gave us a list of references and encouraged us to call and speak to his previous customers before deciding whether to hire them or not. We took him up on that and spoke to many of the references Rick provided. Of all the references we spoke to, everyone single one of them not only recommended them, but told us they would have Rick Hockenberry and Home Made Construction back to do other projects. And in speaking with these folks, we found that a little more than half of those customers did in fact have Rick and his team back doing more work. The remaining folks rehired Rick’s Sub contractors for things like Roofing, Painting and Concrete. Throughout the process, if we had any questions or concerns (and there were not many), Rick and his team really listened and addressed every issue and question we had. If a correction was required, it was done immediately. We were never ignored or dismissed by anyone on the Home Made Construction Team. Rick made some great suggestions for several design changes that genuinely enhanced our project without any change in price or timing. Rick has decades of experience, and it really shows in the quality of materials used, the finished product and the strength and skill of his team. Watching the guys at Home Made Construction work is the closest thing to choreography I have ever seen in a construction crew. No one is idle. Everyone knows what to do, when to do and how to do. If someone finished their task, they went and helped someone else. And we really appreciated how they respected our property. Every night they cleaned up extremely well. Tools and equipment were set in specific places and covered, never in the way and organized for the next day. They picked up all the trash and building materials, swept and blew off all the areas they worked in. Rick’s subcontractors were also all very capable and timely. They show up on time, and they get their jobs done. We are also 100% satisfied with the quality of their work. Now that our project is complete, we feel that what Rick Hockenberry and his team created for us is better than any other company who quoted our project. Home Made Construction isn’t the cheapest, nor are they the most expensive. Honestly, they fell right in the middle price wise. But what they delivered was well more than any of their competitors would have delivered based on their individual quotes. And the new deck and screened porch look like they’ve always been part of the house, seamless! So, if you are looking for a new composite deck and or screened porch, look no further than Home Made Construction. Rick Hockenberry and Home Made Construction will build you something that is absolutely a cut above the rest.

  Home Made Construction did a great job with our screened in porch. Rick was able to articulate our vision for the project to be part of the house and not just an addition. His team was then able to execute at a high level focused on quality. They were meticulous with their daily clean up of the job site. I would not hesitate to reccomend their service.

  We are very satisfied! Rick Hockenberry is the one to call for any household renovation. His crew arrived every morning and were very professional and thorough. Great workmanship! We love our new front porch which has completely renovated the front of our house. Home Made is the company that I would ever use again for any renovation, and I will highly recommend Rick Hockenberry and his company to anyone looking for this type of work.

  March 1, 2021 Jarrett & Christie C. My wife and I had Rick come to our home to build a fireplace mantle and box for a propane fireplace set we purchased from Sothern Hearth & Patio. We immediately felt comfortable with Rick as he is such a downhome guy. As he explained how he would go about building our fireplace, because we honestly were at a loss as to exactly what we wanted the whole fireplace look like, Rick came up with several ideas. We settled on one that truthfully was quite elaborate. Rick showed up on time every day and was very meticulous in his work, He took care to manage his tools so as not to damage anything as he built us an extension/wall to an existing wall to accommodate the firebox size which was 47"Wx35"Hx18"D. As he proceeded with building the fireplace he explained every step and asked us for our thoughts or decisions on some areas pertaining to what we wanted. Rick is extremely careful to give the customer what they want. His craftmanship is the best I have seen in ages, Rick is truly an artist. We will not hesitate to call on him for any type of building, from scratch, to any size remolding job. Rick is number one in our book. Please feel free to call or email for details or a recommendation. Update Oct. 27, 2021 We had Rick come over today to give us an idea as to what type of pool deck he recommends for us. He took all the measurements and photos and spent time explaining options in materials as well as the pro and cons of different materials. We will have another meeting in several days as to the estimate on the deck overall cost. We are sure it will be a fair estimate.
