2023: By the numbers

2023: By the numbers

What an exhilarating journey it's been in 2023 for our incredible team at Hay Runner! This year, we cranked up the excitement and dialed up our success to eleven. Here's a selected recap of our journey:

expanding horizons

In 2023, we planted our flag in the Midcoast with the acquisition of Phi Builders + Architects, effectively doubling the size of our team.

Buzzworthy Inquiries

Ring, ring! Our phones (and Email) didn't get a break this year, receiving a whopping 671 inquiries. The buzz around our projects had people knocking on our digital door, and we welcomed each opportunity with enthusiasm.

stellar reviews

Gratitude fills our hearts as we tacked on an additional 40+ reviews, with an average rating of 4.75/5 stars. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

“after many dropped communications and false promises with other contractors, Hay Runner came through for us with responsive communication and prompt, professional service. They did an excellent job and finally having a reliable contractor on hand for projects as they arise is a relief.”

New Construction

We broke ground on 5 complete home builds, totaling 22,500 sq. feet in 2023. And had 15 Design + Build contracts.

Mastering the Art of Home Renovations

We didn't just renovate homes; we transformed dreams into reality. With 13 large home renovations under our tool belts and another 5 in the pipeline, our commitment to craftsmanship left us feeling proud.

small but mighty

From the tiniest touch-ups to the quirkiest requests (Like decorating a Midcoast property for Christmas), we took on literally hundreds of small projects. And like we say, Hay Runner specializes in smALL PROJECTS.

OPENING NEW DOORS (& WINDOWS)

Our team in the shop hand built 30 custom windows and 2 entry way doors.

BUILD • MAKE • DO

In 2023 we launched a new series to capture ongoing projects within our Rockport shop. We’re excited to bring you more videos in 2024!

out with the old

Ever wonder what it takes to handle 165 dump runs? We do, and we did it with style. Our dump runs were more than just disposing of debris; they were a declaration of our commitment to clean, clutter-free spaces. Most notably, we replaced nearly 4,000 sq ft of flooring at the Rockport Opera House! Read the full story below.

Ferry tales

Speaking of journeys, we embarked on 142 ferry rides, navigating through the waves of challenges and steering towards success. The only thing smoother than our boat rides was our project execution.

Hardware store expedition

If Eldredge and Viking Lumber were treasure islands, we'd be the seasoned explorers with 969 trips to Eldredge logged in our adventure book. In exchange for quality materials on Viking Lumber island, we bartered with over 1 million dollars in currency.

a sincere thank you to our team, our valued clients and partners for making 2023 such a memorable year!
