A wonderful warm home

We really, really love this house and wish we could pick it up and move it to Chicago. We have been looking at homes in Chicago and we have yet to find a home that was built with the quality and attention to detail that was put into our house.

Before writing this, we looked at the other customer comments on the HASK Custom Homes website. They are all true, and all express our experience as well. Al Kelekci is unlike any builder I have ever worked with. He is responsible and concerned, with high attention to detail, resulting in the highest quality work product. I have worked with other contractors over the years, and the experience was always a challenge. Once 90% of the job was completed, they were gone. Al is a sharp contrast to those experiences. He follows up, keeps in touch, to make sure everything is working the way it is supposed to work. He relentlessly tracks the work of subcontractors to be certain they are performing to his standards.It is 2011, and we have been in our home just over a year now. It was Al who called to remind us to look around for the occasional paint bubble, sheet rock ripple, or crown moulding separation from weather changes. He had a crew come through and take care of everything. More importantly, they were so clean and efficient that in the evening I could not tell which rooms they had worked on. On several occasions, involving additional work, changes we wantedat move-in, and on the one-year anniversary, we would say to the workers, ‘Oh, that’s OK,‘ or, ‘that looks fine to us.’ On more than one occasion, Al’s subcontractors responded, ‘No, Al wouldn’t like it.’ Or, ‘Al wants us to do it this way.’ Of course ‘this way,’ for Al means taking the time to be sure it is right. The subcontractors know that if they want to work on Al’s projects, there are no shortcuts.We love our home, and we have the confidence that comes from knowing that Al built it. That says it all.”Dave and Cynthia Leonard, Woodrow Way | Brookhaven

We used Hask Custom Homes to help us design and build out an unfinished basement. The built out space included a workout room with rubber flooring and mirrored walls, a family room with built-in bookcases, a pool room with bar/kitchenette, a craft room, a bedroom, and a full bath. The space also included a storage closet, linen closet, and two bedroom closets. Hask helped with everything from floor to ceiling including HVAC, lighting, plumbing, electrical, walls, flooring, stonework, appliances, fixtures, etc. Al Kelekci and his team were wonderful to work with! They were very communicative from start to finish and cognizant of the budget we had in mind. Both Al and the site manager were always professional and responsive. They were also very patient in explaining work and projects along the way. I was impressed with all the subcontractors on site and thought all were professional and all cleaned up well after themselves. We were pleased with our project from start to finish and are loving our new basement! Friends that see it are "wowed" by how great it looks - particularly those that saw it unfinished. We have referred Hask to several friends already.

I have known Al Kelekci for several years, both personally and professionally. As a banker in the Atlanta market, I have had the privilege of providing construction financing to Al's homebuilding company. You can count on what he says and he has an excellent reputation. I have always admired the quality of the homes that Al constructs and his attention to detail is certainly evident in the finished product. If you are looking for a true custom home or renovation, I would highly recommend Al Kelekci and Hask Custom Homes.

Al Kelekci has an incredible connection to his client's vision of their new home. It is this vision that he delivers with expertise, quality, within expected costs and expected deadline. He stays very involved throughout the project and a true delight to work with. At every chance, I recommend Al to clients and friends.

We had a wonderful experience working with HASK Custom Homes to renovate our 4,300 square foot home. The project consisted of substantial changes to the floor plan which included creating a master suite with brand new bathroom and walk in closet, adding a powder bath, adding a laundry room, updating a bathroom, and reconfiguring another bathroom to increase its functionality. We changed flooring, changed doors and windows, etc. It was an extensive renovation and Al Kelekci and his team did a wonderful job. Not only did they finish on time and on budget, but they were fantastic to work with. They were constantly in communication with us and someone was at the house every day. We received weekly status reports and regular budget updates. We also appreciated their recommendations on which architects and vendors to utilize. We felt that they genuinely wanted us to have the home of our dreams and did everything possible to make that happen. Al is a very honest and upstanding individual and a man of his word. We would not hesitate to work with HASK again.

We bought a house from Al Kelekci at HASK construction in 2006. Al went beyond our expectations with small concerns we had even after several years. 4 years after the closing, we had HASK Renovations finish one room in the basement as an exercise room. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. This was the smoothest renovation we have ever experienced. Al is an expert in his field and he treats your house as if it is his own. He has very high standards, he can listen and he is always willing to give his advice. If we ever decide to part with this house and build, we would ask HASK Construction first to be our builder!

We highly recommend Hask Custom Homes. It is rare to find a construction company as qualified, efficient, courteous and customer driven as Hask Custom Homes. From the moment we met with Hask to quote the project to the moment our keys were handed over on move in day, the team at Hask was there to answer any questions and meet any of our needs. Our house was built to the highest of standards and the project was completed on time and on budget. If you want a beautiful custom home, Hask is the company to build it! This is my dream house and I hope we never have to move. But if we do, I would not hesitate to use Hask Custom Homes again. I would almost be excited to start the process over.
