They have expanded their business to do metal work. See their showcase. We really gave them some tough assignments (hatch to crawl space under sink cabinet, shallow shelves in niche, removable tub panels) and they not only solved them but did so with the highest quality and cheerful dignity.

Contractor |
RD Hollenbeck DiamondTail Construction
R.D. Hollenbeck
52400-0473 |
I would like to recommend a high quality licensed contractor named R.D. Hollenbeck.
He can build anything from custom homes to studios,
garages to sheds. He built my sister a beautiful art
studio/guest house in Blenman last year. He also remodeled her kitchen recently. He does very high quality work.
In 2007 he restored amd remodeled a 1920's home in the
Feldman's neighborhood, which was done beautifully.
R.D. is a very creative builder...he has an artist's
soul and he works with precision. He is also
very pleasant to work with.
Like all builders he needs more work right now, so if you need even a small remodel or addition
I highly recommend him.
