It's not often you find a GEM in a small city with big ideas. Hunnicutt Construction is that GEM. Time is money in this industry and wasting Tim on excuses or empty promises is a practice no one can afford. I enjoy their direct communication and taking ownership of their work. These are the foundations of the RIGHT firm you want to work with.

I would absolutely recommend Hunnicutt Construction to anyone. I was completely blown away by the high level of commitment and communication that I received before, during, and after my project. The owners worked on my behalf to keep costs as reasonable as possible, helping me stick within my budget. The work was well supervised and was done in a timely manner. It was managed with ease & I was kept informed every step of the way. A wonderful company to work with.

The project Hunnicutt Construction completed for us was a complicated mixed-use (restaurant/residential), historic tax credit renovation in Jackson Ward. The Hunnicutt team took great care in preparing a budget that was free from excess. Their tradesmen were proficient with our many highly specific standards and expectations. Hunnicutt was highly communicative & immediately responsive; maximizing productivity and efficiency while minimizing change orders and cost overruns. Hunnicutt's dedicated & personally invested team ensured out project was completed to our exact standards, within budget, and in a timely manner, all while minimizing the owner's stress levels.
