Homeowner, North Vancouver

Testimonials

Daniel Hickey was the contractor/builder that was responsible for the re-building of my home in North Vancouver between September 2012 and April 2013. During this time, Dan demolished and re-built my home with impeccable care and workmanship. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled at the quality of the work that Dan did for our home. I also asked Dan to build a new work shed in my back yard. He conducted the job very professionally and built a product which met my exact standards and expectations as well as being on time and on budget. I have recommended Dan to my friends and family for their building needs and I would certainly engage Dan again should I need any additional work done.

Testimonials

As our general contractor Mr. Hickey completed several projects including our master ensuite, kitchen and outside deck. Throughout our projects I have found Daniel to be highly effective, professionally responsible and a pleasure to work with. He is honest, efficient and had our well being foremost in his mind. Daniel’s extensive knowledge of construction allowed us to utilize his expertise in creating a timeless update to our home. His ideas and ability to work with our existing structure helped us to see possibilities in a different light. He took the time to meet with us and discuss all of our options to maintain our budgets. Each job was completed on time with care and attention to detail. He was extremely clean and tidy in the workplace with minimal disruption to other areas of the home. The feedback from family and friends regarding the work that was completed was overwhelming. I would highly recommend Hickey Construction and not hesitate to use him again for any projects in the future.

Testimonials

We hired Daniel Hickey and Hickey Construction to perform design, landscaping and construction related to our outside front/side deck and walkways. The large decks are an essential design feature to our Cape Cod style home and needed to be replaced with care and precision to maintain the character of the house. Daniel performed the work on time, on budget and worked carefully to preserve some of the deck undercarriage with considerable cost savings to us. Daniel also exhibited good listening skills and patience with conflicting design ideas. This was essential to accommodating and ultimately completing some of the features we wanted to ensure good curb-side appeal for our home. Daniels home builder training and experience is an added bonus to hiring Hickey Construction whom we would recommend for anyone looking for quality workmanship, a pleasant working experience and good cost control.

Testimonials

We have had Daniel and his team do a couple of jobs for us and have been extremely pleased with the end results. The most recent project was a cedar fence and gate, constructed to enclose our back yard. For this project we gathered three quotes and Daniel’s was competitive with the other two. The materials showed up on time and the he and his crew were always on-site when they said they would be. The work was completed on time and the finished product was exactly as promised. On another note we have had other contractors working at our home and have had less than positive feedback from our somewhat high maintenance next door neighbour. Daniel and his group were not only great to work with but they were extremely patient and pleasant with our neighbour, going out of their way to make sure the neighbour was not put out. Much to our surprise even our neighbour gave us great feedback on the work and workers. We anticipate that we will have Hickey Construction back onsite in future and would not hesitate to recommend Daniel to any other homeowner.

Testimonials

Thank you for the work you did for us. Both the garage door framing at the house and the laminate flooring at the office. I knew it would make a big difference to have the flooring put in but the job you did was great! My many thanks for the professional and quick work you made of this. The difference when you walk is in is amazing. And thank you very much for the help and direction in the selection of the laminate. And as to the garage door framing you did on the house – I have had other trades people comment on the pride in workmanship that they saw. They said they rarely arrive to find such a well-built frame. Pretty surprising coming as unsolicited from other tradespeople. I told them I would pass the comment along. Your name is in our rolodex for sure!

Testimonials

We were first introduced to Daniel when he was sent to deal with an insurance claim. We were so impressed with his work, humour and professionalism we had him and his crew construct a 25 ft covered front veranda, a 900 sq ft raised deck and interior items for the handicapped. His eye for detail, his expectation for perfection and quality, and his ideas (far better than ours) are to be commended. After 2 countries and 6 houses this has been the best experience. On time. On budget. Thank you!

Dan did our composite decking in White Rock. They turned out beautifully and on time. I would definitely use Dan again for my future jobs.

Testimonials

Daniel and his crew rebuilt a large deck for me. I had seen him at work on a friend's project and was impressed by his attitude and eye for detail. On my own project, I appreciated his reliability and efficiency and have been really pleased with his work. When some unexpected repairs were needed, he took them on with good humour, and his cheery New Zealand "No worries" eased my mind. Daniel always showed up as arranged, worked efficiently and had a happy crew. They were very pleasant to have around. I would not hesitate to hire his company in the future.
