Client Testimonials

"What is the definition of a builder?  A person whose job is to construct or repair houses. A custom home builder, however, is specialized in building custom homes and is able to complete this specific type of project start to finish on their own.  Greg Makula is just that.  I have only the highest plaudits for him and his crew.  His men along with Greg, were on the job everyday and Greg oversaw all phases of the construction and tended to every detail.  The building of my home was a painless experience.  There were no misunderstandings, arguments or misconceptions.  The house is well built and I could not be happier with the quality and outcome.  I also know that should a need arise, Greg is only a phone call or text message away and he will respond quickly to resolve any problem.  He is not the kind of builder who disappears into the woodwork once the job is completed.  Your builder has now become your friend.”

"My wife started our existing house demolition and new construction build out in May 2016 with move in May 2018. From demolition to geothermal to groundwork to framing to exterior to interior every trade and all self performed work such as exceptional carpentry & millwork was managed with hands on site supervision and top shelf Greg Makula (owner) involved daily review in all site details and construction. 

As I write this testimonial Greg and his crew have serviced & solved any issue over the past 6.5 years and have executed “add ons” to our quality of life as we “tweaked” necessary changes which we only realized after living in our “slice of heaven on earth”. 

Our Long Island waterside house was magnificently constructed and has weathered severe storms and performed as designed and expected. 

My wife and I will happily and enthusiastically endorse and recommend Greg Makula/Hanler Building for any construction work."

"We have completed 3 separate, challenging projects with Greg by now, over the last 7 years! That should speak already for itself! Greg is the contractor who if you have a real challenge and want solid quality, you will come to appreciate as very passionate about the projects he signs onto and a perfect execution as to your expectations. In case of problems, Greg will reveal and discuss them, and go out of his way to make possible what is possible in addressing them.

As a passionate man, Greg requires involvement and work, as I as a client actually want to be consulted, but I wouldn’t question ever his resolve for the best possible solution! Also, over the years, I have heard many times the respect Greg has as the General Contractor from the trades working with him!

Totally recommend Greg/Hanler!"

"I've been working with Greg, the owner of Hanler Building, for over 7 years now.  He and his team of diligent craftsmen have created a wonderful home for me and my family.  Not only is his attention to detail impeccable, he shows up when he says he'll show up, gets the sub contractors to show up when they are supposed to, and never leaves the client hanging. I also appreciate the continued relationship over the years; any issue big or small that comes up, I can call him and he and his guys are there."

"Working with HANLER Building Company was an excellent experience. All the work went well, HANLER completed a full dining room remodel then a FULL kitchen remodel with extensive upgrades. We were satisfied with the final result. We've recommended HANLER Building Company several times. Their attention to detail is exceptional."
