Such a refreshing change

Hask Custom Homes and Al Kelekci (owner) did an exceptional job in building us a custom home in the Chastain Park/Buckhead area of Atlanta (completed in Jan '14). Al met with us several years prior to commencing our construction, always provided constructive thoughts/ideas and was attentive to budget considerations as though our funds were his own. ‍Al and Hask Construction provided a full service, ranging from support in finding the architect (who worked well both with us as owners and with Hask), meticulously attending to site planning, completing all plans, submitting for all permitting with the City of Atlanta, and completing a full custom construction program on schedule and within agreed budget parameters. Very slight budget variances were attributed to resumption of Atlanta's home building economy and some supply cost escalations, but these were managed professionally and with full transparency. ‍Al's subtrades work well with and for him; they also respect him .. a sign of a real professional. Al's engagement with us as owners always was timely and responsive, always helpful, and always kind. He embodies the belief that '... if the work is worth doing, it is worth doing well'. He has become a friend; his work deserves such friendship, nothing less. ‍Our Hask-built home is the 3rd new home we have built in Georgia. Al is the builder we would recommend or choose were we to build another home, and we would do so with full confidence that the work would be professionally and properly completed. He is entirely trustworthy, and remained actively engaged throughout; likewise, his project manager was actively involved. Record keeping was timely, accurate, and complete. ‍Al and Hask provide great value; we recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation. ‍We appreciate the privilege to comment on Al Kelekci and Hask Construction.

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 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.

We worked with Hask to build a custom home in Buckhead for our growing family. You hear horror stories about building a home from scratch. Our experience was the exact opposite - I would do it again in a heartbeat, but only if I got to work with the Hask team. Hask is trustworthy, accessible, experienced, hard working, objective, responsive, caring, sophisticated, and transparent. They made the process easy to understand and have access to various experts at every stage of the process working with their customers' interests in mind first and always. Hask made the house of our dreams come to life. I highly recommend Hask for any and all home construction projects.

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 have thoroughly enjoyed our new home by HASK Custom Homes. The combination of construction quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail make ours a truly beautiful home. On one of our first visits, the builder took the time to walk us through the house and explain all the wonderful extras included in the home. Since then, the builder has been very responsive to our questions and the few issues that have come up. He gladly continued working with us to resolve a problem even after the 1- year warranty period was over. We have received numerous compliments on the beauty of our home and can't thank HASK enough for their excellent work!

After several recommendations, we hired Hask to build a custom home in Brookhaven. Al helped us hire an architect and design the plans. Al, and his superintendent, Jeff, did a great job building our house. We are very pleased with how the house was built. We have now been in the house two years and continue to be very happy with the quality of construction. We had a very good experience working with Al. Most importantly, Al is very trustworthy and does what he says. We would highly recommend Al 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.
