HKF Construction gets hired when a house has to change shape. In a May 2025 review, a homeowner had a back door added — which meant moving an internal load-bearing wall — stairs straightened up to a newly dormered former attic, most of the first-floor windows replaced, and a landing and patio built. The company works out of Medford and describes itself as woman-owned with more than 10 years in the trade, led by Hayce Freitas, doing residential and commercial renovation: kitchens, baths, additions, roofing and decking. The big jobs are where the detail is. A November 2024 customer had the porch on a Somerville triple-decker torn off entirely and rebuilt; another, writing in May 2025, had a front porch restored after a truck hit it. A July 2023 reviewer renovated the whole upper floor of an 1886 house, practically a gut job, and said it stayed on time and on budget. An October 2025 reviewer described a 900-square-foot apartment renovated that spring, with the kitchen and bathroom demolished and new cabinetry, counters, floors and tile installed inside the timeframe and budget. Small work gets the same handling. A December 2025 reviewer had a rotted deck post and damaged railings replaced within a few days of first contact, at the quoted cost and with the trim matched. There was a built-in for a son's nursery in November 2025, and insulation added inside a bathroom wall to protect the pipes from freezing in a March 2026 job. An October 2025 customer who asked six contractors to quote a bathroom addition chose Hayce because she was the only one who came back with suggestions and a quote within days. On Reddit, a commenter in April 2026 said HKF added a bath for them and were great, and another in May 2026 called the owner an absolute treasure. Two things to raise before signing. The state registry shows the company's home improvement contractor registration, #198201, as expired — ask about it. And HKF brings in crews for the trades: a March 2025 reviewer said the crews HKF used were always kind and courteous, while the one four-star review, from June 2026, praises Hayce as responsible, punctual, easy to communicate with and careful about keeping the site clean, then turns to the crew she hired. A strong match for a renovation with structure in it — an addition, a porch rebuild, an attic you want to live in — and for owners who want the person who quoted the job still involved when it runs. Sort out the registration question first, then get the crews and the schedule written into the contract.
“We had an awesome experience using Peter Miller for the architectural planning and HKF Construction for the actual work. Third floor unfinished attic converted to livable space.”
“HKF Construction. Immigrant woman owner, and an absolute treasure.”
“HKF Construction, they added a bath for us and were great”
I want to start by saying that the owner, Hayce, is very responsible, punctual, easy to communicate, and did her absolute best to accommodate our scheduling and needs. She always try to keep the job site as clean as possible which we really appreciate. However, the crew she hired for the actual labor were disappointed. First, they framed a new false wall without proper leveling. The tiles visibly taper and get narrower as they goes down, which is a major cosmetic we are unsatisfied.(first picture) Second, and much more serious, the electricians(more like kids actually) drilled massive 1.5-inch holes across more than 15 load-bearing, supporting studs just to run standard electrical wires. It is totally unnecessary to weakened the structure. There were much better, professional ways to do this, like drilling small 0.5-inch holes or routing the wires through the ceiling and running the wires down in between the studs. Basically they were not thinking and not working smart.
We recently hired HKF Construction for a full home renovation, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Hayce and her team are the gold standard of professional contractors. Their attention to detail, clear communication, fast execution, and commitment to quality are rare in this industry. Every phase was managed with precision with excellent communications, and the final result exceeded our expectations. If you want a team that is organized, skilled, and trustworthy, look no further. Attached are some before and after pictures.
We had a seamless experience working with HKF Construction to improve the insulation inside our bathroom wall and help protect the pipes from freezing. Throughout the process, Hayce was very professional and friendly, and we felt the estimates were very reasonable. Her team completed the job in just one day—removing the bathroom fixtures, opening the wall, adding insulation, and then restoring everything afterward. When they were done, everything was clean and looked just as it was before the work started! A couple nights later it was well below freezing, and the pipes were just fine even without dripping them. We really appreciate their help and would definitely consider HKF again for future projects!
HKF Construction did a great job with putting up my sign. They were professional, on time and worked with my busy schedule. Check out the sign they put up in the picture below. 🙌🏻
We recently hired HKF for a bedroom renovation and to replace several windows in our basement, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Hayce and Christine were excellent communicators—always clear, responsive, and proactive about updates or decisions that needed to be made. They brought in reliable, highly skilled specialists for each part of the job, and it really showed in the quality of the work. Their pricing was competitive, they stayed very close to the original budget, and the entire project was completed on the promised timeline. Renovations can be stressful, but HKF made the process feel organized and under control. The finished bedroom looks fantastic, and the new basement windows have completely transformed the space. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional contractor who delivers high-quality work without surprises.
