President • Hoffman Construction

"Hoffman worked with Dark Horse Deconstruction on a large deconstruction project of a historic church in Downtown Appleton.  It was very important to Hoffman and our client that they salvage as much of the building as possible including the exterior stone and heavy timbers.  Couldn't be happier with end result and knowing their efforts will allow the materials to live another 100+ years in another timeless facility!"
