"Their quality of work is excellent, they’re friendly, and fast."

"The actual remodeling process was low-stress."
Heartland recently completed an extensive project for us which included: remodel of master suite, remodel of two other bathrooms and laundry room, addition of a bathroom in the basement, installation of wood, tile, and LVT flooring throughout our entire main level, and repair of several instances of water damage.
Heartland’s planning process took time, and we saw that as an asset. All decisions were made and details worked out before the contract was signed. As a result, the actual remodeling process was low-stress. Because of the thorough advance planning we had virtually no surprises.
The results exceeded our expectations. We came away from this experience with the utmost respect for the folks at Heartland and for the way they do business. We found Mike Gatschet to be candid, fair, honest, and careful. His staff’s interactions with us reflected these qualities. Every single Heartland employee who was involved in our project - from design to extensive contract planning to execution - was someone we would choose to work with again. They were professional, accomplished, and reliable.
We already have another project on the horizon and there's no question we will use Heartland again. Highest recommendation.

"Highly recommend them."
Mike and his staff were very professional while addressing some structural issues at our home. Curtis, our carpenter, was great at explaining what was going on, what to expect, and made us feel safe and comfortable with him in our home, even when we weren't. He even helped catch one of our dogs when she got out! Will use them again and highly recommend them.
