HDC Is Open for Business and Ready to Serve You

The HDC team remains fully operational. For the safety of our clients, employees, and sub-contractors we are taking active and extensive precautions, doing our part to help prevent the spread of the virus.

HDC Is Taking Necessary Precautions

For 20 years, we've been helping our clients navigate the ins-and-outs of the remodeling process. During this time of current COVID resurgence, our foremost concern is the health and well-being of all. That's why the HDC team is taking every possible precaution.

Meetings that would normally be done in-person are now virtual/teleconference meetings, conducted in the comfort and safety of our client’s home or business. HDC will continue to conduct in-home meetings, only at the request of the client.

Some but not all HDC projects scheduled and in-production at this time are unique in that, the homeowner or business owner is not currently in-residence. This allows us access to the project without the need for one-on-one contact with our clients.
We will be checking in with clients regularly to make sure that no one in the home is exhibiting any signs of illness before we send our staff. In this circumstance, we have directed our sub-contractors and staff to maintain proper social distances when working on the job site, meeting with clients, or community members.
We have implemented mandatory internal virus safety protocols for our staff and sub-contractors, posting signage specifying our protocols at all job sites. Personnel exhibiting any symptoms will be sent home.
Our staff will be regularly sanitizing high-touch job site surfaces. Access to parts of the home not under construction will be restricted.

Impacts To Project Schedules and Construction

During the COVID-19 event, some clients have asked if their design or production schedule will be impacted. The answer is no. Scheduling has not been impacted, however, as the COVID-19 event evolves, we reserve the right to notify our clients of possible scheduling updates or changes. To date, we continue to hold meetings virtual or in-home, depending on client preference, and our dedicated staff and sub-contractors continue to make daily progress on active projects while adhering to our enhanced safety protocols. Any project progress could of course quickly change if State or County health authorities change their guidance for our industry, etc. HDC prides itself on clear and open communication. We will update our clients immediately should schedules be impacted.
