"I wanted to tell you that Brendon and Ian did a fabulous job on the duct work. The Chief Engineer, Port Engineer and I walked the job yesterday and we are all very impressed with how the Vidmar room looks."

"Hunter-Davisson has always been our go-to contractor. Not only providing excellent service response but also on large projects that include engineering, calculations, and design. They have always been there to bail us out in emergencies and provide us with alternative solutions."

"I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the exceptional participation and outstanding service you provided throughout the Sherwood, OR HVAC project. Your team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were evident at every stage of the project. What truly set your service apart was your responsiveness to our customer’s needs and your proactive communication throughout the process."

"I just wanted to acknowledge Tyler on doing a great job of finding what was the cause of this very loud noise in the lobby which sounds like a saw coming from the intake Vent that has been annoying for a year or so. I mentioned to him The Noise was coming from a vent in the lobby and he said he knew exactly what it was. I appreciate that he took the time to find out."

"We had a great experience with our first preventative maintenance appointment on Friday. Steffen was very friendly and easy to work with!"

A Golden Foundation

Hunter-Davisson was founded in 1965 when Harold Hunter and Joe Davisson purchased the refrigeration division of Monroe Machinery.

That mindset, paired with technical skill and a relationship-first approach, set the stage for lasting success.

Dean Glover, Greg Pelser, and Barbara Dybvig became owners in 1984.
