Comparative Summary

The best possible working relationship between a builder and a homeowner, says Jeff Harkey of Harkey Construction, is when both parties are accountable to each other.

This concept led Mr. Harkey to create a highly-detailed computer model for job scheduling that covers every important date and milestone for a project. Using computer-based bar graphs, the timelines clearly lay out obligations and expectations for both parties–when certain projects will begin and end, when items need to be ordered, which party bears which responsibilities, etc.

Having a full schedule delineated so meticulously in advance “impresses the owner every time,” says Mr. Harkey. It obligates the builder and homeowner to each other, keeping the job on track and preventing any surprises. It makes estimates far more detailed and understandable. And, perhaps most important, it helps build the mutual communication and trust that are the foundation of every successful business partnership, he says.

Run by Mr. Harkey and his wife, Lori, Harkey Construction has served commercial and residential markets throughout Northern California since 1991. The company has built a reputation for quality workmanship by focusing on integrity, details and accuracy, customer satisfaction and personal relationships.

The Harkeys pride themselves on being good listeners who don’t see every project as “cut and dry.” They make and hear suggestions, adapting to the individual requirements of each job and homeowner. Their superior construction management skills are evident from the first step of planning to site clean-up, says Mr. Harkey, helping ensure every project is a success they and the homeowner can be proud of.

They are very good. We've used them over the past ten years, on and off. They are very reliable and always do good, clean, and well done job.

Their employees seem to stay with them for a long time and that is comforting to see the same people. Plus, it is helpful, because they already know the house when they come back.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give them a 25. They were great. Our house burned down in the fires and they came in and got right to work. We have heard all kinds of terrible stories from others in the same situation as us, where they went with a different company, and just had an awful time. We felt very, very lucky to have found Harkey Construction. I cannot think of even one problem that we had with them. They not only had a very competitive bid compared to the other companies, but they got right on the job to get it done. When they completed the job, it was totally done. There were no after-the-fact things that they had to come back to take care of. Before using Harkey, on other house builds, there were always some things after the job that was supposed to be completed that needed to get taken care of. Those types of things always seemed to take a while to get around to. So, I appreciated that Harkey made sure there were no problems and really did their job.

That not only were they fair on pricing and to work with, they also did a complete job and were pleasant to work with. Sometimes, you have those first two qualities but to also have it end up being pleasant is special, at least to me.

Their quality is the best and they really fine-tune everything, so that it turns out awesome. I haven't had to call them back for any of the construction details.

When I needed help back when the house was first being built, I could always call them and they would respond right away with the project manager to make sure I was taken care of. Their response is always fairly instant and they always do a good job.

We have been using them for about 20 years now. They are reliable and reasonably priced.

This may sound weird, but, I feel that because I am a woman, a lot of time contractors may feel like they need to speak with the man of the house or that my opinion doesn't hold as much weight as the man of the house. But with Harkey Construction, I do feel that they care and that my opinions do matter to them.
