I highly recommend Amir Levy from HQR for your home remodeling projects - please specifically request him! He is reliable, honest, communicative, and holds his workers to a high standard for quality. He went above and beyond to make sure we as his clients were satisfied, often throwing in improvements we requested for free and working with us on scope changes. We got quotes from multiple contractors, and Amir's number was not only the lowest, his scope of work document was also the most detailed and clear.
Amir and his team completed a multi-room remodel on my home including a large plumbing job (full repiping, relocation of a washer and dryer, installing tankless water heater and utility sink), electrical work (recessed lights, kitchen rewiring, new subpanel), finished material installations (countertop & vanity top fabrication, tiling, kitchen & bath fixtures installation), flooring (demolition, tiling, refinishing hardwood floors), new doors and trim, full interior repainting, and exterior work to repair termite and water damage. We are overall happy with the value and quality of the finished work! There were some quality issues with specific workers on the tile work and painting, but Amir was extremely quick to address and resolve these issues in a timely manner and ensure the highest quality bar was met to our satisfaction. The project did run a few weeks longer than originally estimated, but that was also due to change orders we requested. Amir really made the project run smoothly and communicated proactively with us throughout. Thank you Amir and HQR for your work on our home!

Amir Levy from HQR worked with me on my interior home remodel. I had a great experience working with him and his team.
This was a very large scale project and I was put at ease given his knowledge and experience.
I hired a couple of other contractors before Amir and HQR that I wasn’t satisfied with.
As a result I had to part ways and was left with a shell of a house and unfinished designs/blueprints.
When Amir Levy and HQR earned the job multiple aspects of the project were very off that his team were left with.
His team came in and made the necessary changes and improvements to make sure my needs were met.
From start to finish his team was professional and very helping in accommodating all of my requests. There were a few challenges that arose and we were able to overcome them.
For example HQR uncovered asbestus, change orders I requested, plumbing and electrical factors that were all met professionally and timely.
To sum up my experience his team excelled at
• adjustments or changes to the scope
• help with design and recommendations
• additions or change orders
• solving problems or unforeseen issues
• customer service before during and after completion
All in all HQR’s team will be sure to meet all of your needs and that you’re more than happy with the results.
I would absolutely recommend Amir Levy and his team at HQR for your next home build or remodel. 10/10 glad I chose them and am very pleased with my new beautiful home.
Thank you Amir Levy and HQR!

HQR, and specifically our project manager Amir Levy, was so good that this is the first time I have wished I could leave a 6-star review. I'll give specifics below, but the bottom line is that they are honest and reliable, they communicate well, and they do incredibly high-quality work on even complicated projects.
We hired HQR to demolish an unpermitted addition that was built by the previous owners, then build a new legal addition in its place. The new addition needed to connect two different existing rooflines and intersected multiple load-bearing walls.
Highlights:
(1) This was our first time doing a major remodel, and we had a lot to learn. Amir went above and beyond helping us identify and resolve potential problems early, patiently answering all of our questions, and explaining our options when a decision needed to be made.
(2) Once we had architectural drawings, HQR gave us a quote and stuck to it. Over the entire lifetime of the project, HQR never once added an unreasonable surprise fee. There were also a few extras we voluntarily added to the scope, such as updating our guest bath and creating a laundry closet, and HQR always gave us reasonable prices for adding them.
(3) Amir aimed for perfection as if this were his own house. If a mistake was ever made by HQR or one of their subcontractors, Amir had it fixed quickly, no questions asked. The end result is a beautiful addition that looks exactly as we had imagined it.
Finally, we learned a really important lesson on this project. We hired our own architect before meeting HQR, and this was a mistake. Using a separate architect created a lot of headaches for us and ultimately ended up costing us more money and delays than if we had used an architect hired by HQR. We plan to hire HQR again in a few years to redo our kitchen, and we will definitely use their in-house architects and designers for that project.

These folks don't do remodeling for townhomes. We had a person from their office come over to our home to discuss the project. He took pictures, did all the fancy talking and then disappeared. He said the office will contact us in a week with the quote but no communication. Even after following up they did not send us a quote. Will never recommend them for townhome projects. We trusted the Google reviews and contacted them, looks like they are all paid reviews.

We had a great experience working with Amir Levy and his team at HQR. We went into our remodel unsure of how big of a project we wanted to take on, and Amir helped us navigate the big decisions by providing us with a step-wise plan to help us decide what we wanted to accomplish first instead of selling us a project we weren't sure we were going to like. We knew we were going to have to upgrade/redo almost every aspect of the house, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, foundation, but working with Amir and his team allowed us to feel very confident in making a rather large interior layout change in our house as well. Going through this process to figure out exactly what we wanted allowed Amir to give us an incredibly detailed scope of work (instead of a handwavy quote) to make sure even the smallest of items was covered in our agreement, which gave us tremendous peace of mind.
Working with Amir was smooth as the team handled everything. We chose to work with several of the finishes vendors and coordinators that Amir recommended, which also took a lot of hassle off our plate. Before, during, and now even after the project, we always felt that Amir had our best interests in mind, which is the best thing one could ask for in a contractor. We highly recommend working with Amir Levy on your project.
