"We first saw an older home interior renovation that Hugh Van Pelt and his team had completed and were suitably impressed about 10 years ago. This year we were lucky enough to have Hugh Van Pelt Construction Inc do the interior of our new-build home. We had some other contractors through the house while it was being constructed, and every one of them was impressed by the quality of the interior work. We are so pleased with the quality, and more importantly, the care that Hugh and his team took in the work they did on our home, and are thrilled with the results. We highly recommend them."

He remodeled our upstairs bathroom and added a new one in the basement, organizing multiple trades for the project to get it done seamlessly and quickly. We are very happy with our beautiful, updated home and would recommend Hugh Van Pelt Construction Inc. to everyone."
