"I would do it again in a heartbeat"

We worked with Hask to build a custom home in Buckhead for our growing family. You hear horror stories about building a home from scratch. Our experience was the exact opposite - I would do it again in a heartbeat, but only if I got to work with the Hask team. Hask is trustworthy, accessible, experienced, hard working, objective, responsive, caring, sophisticated, and transparent. They made the process easy to understand and have access to various experts at every stage of the process working with their customers' interests in mind first and always. Hask made the house of our dreams come to life. I highly recommend Hask for any and all home construction projects.

"We felt that they genuinely wanted us to have the home of our dreams"

We had a wonderful experience working with HASK Custom Homes to renovate our 4,300 square foot home. The project consisted of substantial changes to the floor plan which included creating a master suite with brand new bathroom and walk in closet, adding a powder bath, adding a laundry room, updating a bathroom, and reconfiguring another bathroom to increase its functionality. We changed flooring, changed doors and windows, etc. It was an extensive renovation and Al Kelekci and his team did a wonderful job. Not only did they finish on time and on budget, but they were fantastic to work with. They were constantly in communication with us and someone was at the house every day. We received weekly status reports and regular budget updates. We also appreciated their recommendations on which architects and vendors to utilize. We felt that they genuinely wanted us to have the home of our dreams and did everything possible to make that happen. Al is a very honest and upstanding individual and a man of his word. We would not hesitate to work with HASK again.

"Always thoughtful of the client and budget-conscious"

We have enjoyed working with Al Kelekci and Hask Construction for many years. Always thoughtful of the client and budget-conscious, Al has built his reputation on consistent deliverables.

"They treated our money as if it was their own (prudently!)"

Hask Custom Homes was our first choice to build our home, but we interviewed several other builders who were recommended by friends and neighbors. Al (the owner of Hask) stood out from the pack immediately, and I'm so glad we hired him. We bought a Buckhead ranch off West Paces Ferry, gutted it and expanded the footprint a little. Start to finish: 5-1/2 months! Al is a gem. He has great skills in organization, budgeting, project management, and sub-contractor management. His communication is excellent. He contributes good ideas. His integrity is beyond reproach. We ended up with a cost-plus contract since we hadn't finalized the building plans/specs when we hired Hask. With the wrong builder, this could be disastrous, but Al treated our money as if it was his own (prudently!). We've now been in our home for over a year, and occasionally call Al if we have questions. He is always quick to respond. We can't recommend Al Kelekci and HASK Custom Homes highly enough, and would be more than happy to discuss our experiences with anyone considering hiring him.

"His work deserves such friendship, nothing less"

Hask Custom Homes and Al Kelekci (owner) did an exceptional job in building us a custom home in the Chastain Park/Buckhead area of Atlanta (completed in Jan '14). Al met with us several years prior to commencing our construction, always provided constructive thoughts/ideas and was attentive to budget considerations as though our funds were his own. 

Al and Hask Construction provided a full service, ranging from support in finding the architect (who worked well both with us as owners and with Hask), meticulously attending to site planning, completing all plans, submitting for all permitting with the City of Atlanta, and completing a full custom construction program on schedule and within agreed budget parameters. Very slight budget variances were attributed to resumption of Atlanta's home building economy and some supply cost escalations, but these were managed professionally and with full transparency. 

Al's subtrades work well with and for him; they also respect him .. a sign of a real professional. Al's engagement with us as owners always was timely and responsive, always helpful, and always kind. He embodies the belief that '... if the work is worth doing, it is worth doing well'. He has become a friend; his work deserves such friendship, nothing less. 

Our Hask-built home is the 3rd new home we have built in Georgia. Al is the builder we would recommend or choose were we to build another home, and we would do so with full confidence that the work would be professionally and properly completed. He is entirely trustworthy, and remained actively engaged throughout; likewise, his project manager was actively involved. Record keeping was timely, accurate, and complete. 

Al and Hask provide great value; we recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation. 

We appreciate the privilege to comment on Al Kelekci and Hask Construction.

"One of the best built homes"

As a Realtor, we see all kinds of things in the Atlanta market. We sold a home by Hask Custom Homes a few years back and our buyer is still thrilled. The home inspector said it was one of the best built homes he had ever inspected and the builder went out of his way to show us how well work was done even in areas of the attic a buyer wouldn't typically look. 

Al Kelekci, is a great builder and good guy. We were so impressed with him that we have frequently recommended him as well as bid on other homes he has built. He builds a fabulous product and stands behind the product he builds! When I get to build a home, he is the builder I will use.

- Michelle Francis - Realtor, Atlanta

"Finished the job ahead of schedule"

Hask Custom Homes did a wonderful job building our house. Al' and his team's attention to detail made our home special. They listened to what was important to us and made sure all of our family goals were met. Al saved us money in several areas and even finished the job ahead of schedule!

If we ever build another house in Atlanta our first call will be to Hask. We highly recommend Hask Custom Homes for anyone looking to build a quality home.

"Reliable, innovative, high-quality residential builder"

Hask Custom Homes is a reliable, innovative, high-quality residential builder. I would recommend them for any new construction or remodel job of whatever size. They are professional, knowledgeable, dependable, and get work done on budget and on time. The owner, Al Kelekci, is personally involved in his jobs, communicates effectively, and will make sure things are done right and that customers are fully satisfied. I'm a fan.

"Unlike any other builder I have ever worked with"

“Before writing this, we looked at the other customer comments on the HASK Custom Homes website. They are all true, and all express our experience as well. Al Kelekci is unlike any builder I have ever worked with. He is responsible and concerned, with high attention to detail, resulting in the highest quality work product. I have worked with other contractors over the years, and the experience was always a challenge. Once 90% of the job was completed, they were gone. Al is a sharp contrast to those experiences. He follows up, keeps in touch, to make sure everything is working the way it is supposed to work. He relentlessly tracks the work of subcontractors to be certain they are performing to his standards.
It is 2011, and we have been in our home just over a year now. It was Al who called to remind us to look around for the occasional paint bubble, sheet rock ripple, or crown moulding separation from weather changes. He had a crew come through and take care of everything. More importantly, they were so clean and efficient that in the evening I could not tell which rooms they had worked on. On several occasions, involving additional work, changes we wanted
at move-in, and on the one-year anniversary, we would say to the workers, ‘Oh, that’s OK,‘ or, ‘that looks fine to us.’ On more than one occasion, Al’s subcontractors responded, ‘No, Al wouldn’t like it.’ Or, ‘Al wants us to do it this way.’ Of course ‘this way,’ for Al means taking the time to be sure it is right. The subcontractors know that if they want to work on Al’s projects, there are no shortcuts.
We love our home, and we have the confidence that comes from knowing that Al built it. That says it all.”

"Above and beyond our expectations"

We used Al Kelekci, owner of Hask Custom Homes, to build our home in 2009-2010. He built a beautiful quality home and made the process easy and enjoyable. He was extremely helpful and informative from beginning to end. He attended planning meetings with our architect and offered cost saving and innovative ideas while still maintaining a good working relationship with the architect. He advised us through all of the selection and construction phases, and we were so appreciative of his patience and kindness towards us. Hask Custom Homes went above and beyond our expectations and our building experience could not have been better. My husband and I are thrilled with how everything turned out and the quality of his work even 4 years later. We have recommended him to numerous people who have all had very positive experiences with Hask Custom Homes.

"They went the second mile"

We had a great experience with Hask Homes. One of the best things was that they worked quickly and were mindful of deadlines and proactive about lining up workers swiftly for different parts of the project. They also got things to a certain point and then vacated for Thanksgiving/Christmas. They helped us work through different construction and design issues and provided pictures of what the different options would look like, which really helped us to decide. They were responsive to texts, emails and calls. They kept us informed who would be in the house that day, and supervised workers onsite. They went the second mile to find hardware, and very kindly helped us to resolve a day-before-Thanksgiving plumbing disaster which was not even in the area of the house they were working on, just out of kindness! The foreman was very nice to have around and answered questions thoughtfully. They were able to point us to different area businesses to help us make decisions about countertops, etc. In areas where new construction ran into old, they did a great job making the new part fit in with the old. We love what they did for us, and we would do it all over again!

"If you want a beautiful custom home, Hask is the company to build it"

We highly recommend Hask Custom Homes. It is rare to find a construction company as qualified, efficient, courteous and customer driven as Hask Custom Homes. From the moment we met with Hask to quote the project to the moment our keys were handed over on move in day, the team at Hask was there to answer any questions and meet any of our needs. Our house was built to the highest of standards and the project was completed on time and on budget. If you want a beautiful custom home, Hask is the company to build it! ​This is my dream house and I hope we never have to move. But if we do, I would not hesitate to use Hask Custom Homes again. I would almost be excited to start the process over.

- Whitney and William O’Brien – Chastain Park - Buckhead

"You can count on what he says"

I have known Al Kelekci for several years, both personally and professionally. As a banker in the Atlanta market, I have had the privilege of providing construction financing to Al's homebuilding company. You can count on what he says and he has an excellent reputation. I have always admired the quality of the homes that Al constructs and his attention to detail is certainly evident in the finished product. If you are looking for a true custom home or renovation, I would highly recommend Al Kelekci and Hask Custom Homes.

"Always professional and responsive"

We used Hask Custom Homes to help us design and build out an unfinished basement. The built out space included a workout room with rubber flooring and mirrored walls, a family room with built-in bookcases, a pool room with bar/kitchenette, a craft room, a bedroom, and a full bath. The space also included a storage closet, linen closet, and two bedroom closets. Hask helped with everything from floor to ceiling including HVAC, lighting, plumbing, electrical, walls, flooring, stonework, appliances, fixtures, etc. Al Kelekci and his team were wonderful to work with! They were very communicative from start to finish and cognizant of the budget we had in mind. Both Al and the site manager were always professional and responsive. They were also very patient in explaining work and projects along the way. I was impressed with all the subcontractors on site and thought all were professional and all cleaned up well after themselves. We were pleased with our project from start to finish and are loving our new basement! Friends that see it are "wowed" by how great it looks - particularly those that saw it unfinished. We have referred Hask to several friends already.

"Consistently conscientious, thoughtful, and capable"

My name is Christopher DeBlois, PE. I am a structural engineer with 25 years' experience in Atlanta, and I have collaborated on many projects with Al Kelekci and Hask Custom Homes. I find Al Kelekci to be consistently conscientious, thoughtful, and capable. Different people place value on different qualities, but as an engineer the two qualities that make Al someone I always appreciate working with are his willingness to rely on other experts to help him build better projects (too many builders I encounter think they already know it all - they don't), and the importance he places on doing things the right way. He is a high quality builder who always wants to learn, to improve, and to build an even better house. I can recommend Al Kelekci and Hask Custom Homes wholeheartedly.

"The best personalized service"

Al was very knowledgable about finding the perfect lot for our custom home. He went out with us and our agent to evaluate every lot on the market. He gave us his expert opinions about possible site work required for the lot that we were looking at. His solid engineering background made us feel very comfortable about making a decision. Al is very professional and responsive. He gave us the best personalized service.

- Jing Chen - Buckhead

"A wonderful warm home"

Hask Custom Homes provided great service to our client. We renovated a ranch house together and Al Kelekci gave the family a wonderful warm home. Al was readily available to all trades, found solutions to tricky situations when needed and mostly was pleasant to be around. The architect has to trust the contractor to create a great space and Hask did the job.

"All of his contractors were very high quality"

Owner of Hask Construction, Al Kelekci is amazing. He was extremely patient and professional in dealing with all our questions and concerns throughout the course of the project. His work was completed in a timely fashion and there were no unexpected surprises at all. What impressed us tremendously about Al was that all of his contractors were very high quality…from the window company to the trim guy and the flooring guy the quality was very impressive. We were converting an unfinished basement into a gym and Al's people did an amazing job working around the constrains of our space. Highly recommended!!

"We couldn't be happier"

We hired HASK Custom Homes in 2012 to do a renovation of our basement which included a rec room, built-ins, a kitchenette and a full bathroom. The entire experience was pleasant from start to finish. We had a vision for the basement, and Al made it a reality. He listened to what we wanted and guided us where needed. His experience with what works and what doesn't was extremely helpful. The Hask estimates were spot-on and they did a great job communicating with us throughout the project re: what to expect and when. We couldn't be happier with our basement, and we will definitely use Al Kelekci/HASK Custom Homes for our next project! 

- Sheldon Staples – Sandy Springs

"Incredible connection to his client's vision"

Al Kelekci has an incredible connection to his client's vision of their new home. It is this vision that he delivers with expertise, quality, within expected costs and expected deadline. He stays very involved throughout the project and a true delight to work with. At every chance, I recommend Al to clients and friends. 
Stephene Major - Senior Loan Consultant - Regions Bank

"He is the only builder I would use in the future"

I have used a lot of builders in the past, but after I worked with Al, he will be the only one I use in the future. Al goes above and beyond in every aspect of the job and his commitment to perfection is unsurpassed. Even after the house was complete, he would continue to make sure we were happy and make any corrections that he deemed necessary. Now, years later after the warranty expired, he has continued to help and act as if the warranty still exists. If I have a problem, I call Al’s team and they respond immediately. It is unheard of that a builder makes house calls and helps with problems a homeowner may have years after the homeowner moves in, but that is exactly what Al from Hask Custom Homes has done. He is the only builder I would use in the future.

"Quality people"

It’s important to trust your builder. We have the utmost level of trust and respect in HASK Custom Homes. When you deal with HASK, you are dealing with quality people.
The quality of work is outstanding. The attention to detail is incredible. We’ve been in this house for more than a year, and still we have visitors pointing out small details that even we haven’t noticed before. The built-ins are wonderful. Even people familiar with the highest quality of workmanship are impressed
.Dealing with HASK is enjoyable ... always dependable, easy to get ahold of, and prompt. We're glad we bought this house!”

 - David Guy, Darlington Commons Ct. | Buckhead 

"Smoothest renovation we have ever experienced"

We bought a house from Al Kelekci at HASK construction in 2006. Al went beyond our expectations with small concerns we had even after several years. 4 years after the closing, we had HASK Renovations finish one room in the basement as an exercise room. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. This was the smoothest renovation we have ever experienced. Al is an expert in his field and he treats your house as if it is his own. He has very high standards, he can listen and he is always willing to give his advice. If we ever decide to part with this house and build, we would ask HASK Construction first to be our builder!”   

- Anke & Christian Fischer - Dudley Lane, Sandy Springs

"Can't thank Hask enough"

We have thoroughly enjoyed our new home by HASK Custom Homes. The combination of construction quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail make ours a truly beautiful home. On one of our first visits, the builder took the time to walk us through the house and explain all the wonderful extras included in the home. Since then, the builder has been very responsive to our questions and the few issues that have come up. He gladly continued working with us to resolve a problem even after the 1- year warranty period was over. We have received numerous compliments on the beauty of our home and can't thank HASK enough for their excellent work!”
 - Ann Qualls, The Park at Oglethorpe - Brookhaven

"Surpassing all their obligations"

Our experience with HASK was outstanding! They went way beyond our expectations in meeting and surpassing all their obligations. Al always called back right away if we had a question or need. He came over or sent the appropriate worker immediately to take care of any issue, although there were few. He was most concerned with getting anything corrected that needed it, even if the 1 year warranty time had passed.
The quality of the workmanship is excellent with an eye for detail in the house that could only be from an engineer! This level of detail is noticed by all who come into our home. They were nice and friendly to deal with on every occasion. We couldn't recommend a better builder!” 
 - Lucile Higgins, Dudley Lane - Sandy Springs

"Such a refreshing change"

We have been so pleased with HASK Custom Homes. It is such a refreshing change to finally work with someone with high attention to detail, professionalism, commitment, follow-through, and general helpfulness that seems to be hard to find these days!
From the quality of our home and beautiful architectural details to the great customer service they provide, we have been so happy with our experience with them.” 

- Claire Patterson, West Roxboro Rd. - Buckhead

"An eye for detail"

Hask has built many of our custom designs. We have always found them to be very thoughtful and professional with an eye for detail. Our clients have raved about their experience with and the service provided by Hask. I recommend them without qualification. “
- Greg Palmer – partner at Harrison Design Assoc.

"Quality and attention to detail"

We really, really love this house and wish we could pick it up and move it to Chicago. We have been looking at homes in Chicago and we have yet to find a home that was built with the quality and attention to detail that was put into our house.”
- Kristy Adams, Mathieson Dr. Buckhead

"As if they were building it for their own family"

It was such a pleasurable experience working with HASK Custom Homes on my new home in Peachtree Park. As evidenced by the home they produce, they truly enjoy building the highest quality product and treat it as if they were building it for their own family. Even my home inspector was in awe of the craftsmanship and the perfect execution of all elements from exterior to interior throughout the home.
If I am ever so fortunate I would definitely have HASK Custom Homes build my next custom home. They set the bar high; this was my fourth time purchasing a new home, but between the customer service and the exceptional attention to detail my experience with HASK is unparalleled. I absolutely love my home, and if you are in the market for purchasing or building a home you could not go wrong with choosing HASK as your builder! ”   

- Heather Colberg, Darlington Commons Ct. - Buckhead

"Remarkably responsive"

Three years ago I purchased a home from Al Kelekci with HASK. Not only prior to the purchase, but even after the closing, Al and his team were remarkably responsive and professional. I simply could not imagine a more positive experience with any builder.”
- Tom Golub - Sandy Springs

"On-budget and on-time"

I can easily give Hask Custom Homes my highest recommendation. Al Kelekci is professional, thorough, and available. He is meticulous not only about the quality of the work, but also about communication and follow-through. His work is beautiful and came in on-budget and on-time. The next time I renovate or build, I will absolutely work with Hask!
