Kent did an amazing job. He arranged and worked with an engineer to make sure the changes would bring the constructions to code. He worked hard to make sure the solutions were the best trade-offs in terms of cost and impact to finished construction. Our house sits on solid rock. The interior sheer wall required digging a 16 feet long, 12and quot; deep and 12and quot; wide trench in solid rock, and the workers had to use small electric jack hammers because of the limited space to move around. Then they built forms and installed re-bar reinforcement before pouring the concrete. This construction (the concrete wall, sheer boards and wall above that needed additional sheer strength) are not going anywhere! Kent and his team were a pleasure to work with. They were professional and competent. I will hire him again for future projects.
Description of Work: Kent did various improvements in the basement of our house to bring it to code. He installed a sheer wall from outside, up-sized 3 deck posts (20' high), added several new concrete footings in the crawl space and put an interior sheer wall that required a 16' poured-in concrete wall in the crawl space.

Description of Work: I contacted Mr. Kaiser to come out and give me a bid on some work I needed done on my rental property. Mr. Kaiser came right out and did a very through inspection. While what I actually needed wasn't something his company could do I appreciated his honesty and suggestions.

Kent was very professional. Although he made it clear he was not a designer, his expertise in the subject and his recommendations for placement went a long way towards helping us plan for the addition. When we move ahead with the project, we will use Kent's services.
Description of Work: We asks for Kent's help assessing whether or not an additional half bath or 3/4 bath could be added to our home. We are in the early stages of fact-finding. Kent did a great job of looking over our whole house and recommending the best possible placement for the new bath.

Description of Work: Kent and his crew framed the addition on our house. He was by far the most professional contractor we worked with in our owner-built project. Very focused on problem solving and overcoming obstacles as they arose. He also addressed some errors in the work of the concrete foundation contractor. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

As owner-builders, we hired many different tradespeople and Kent Kaiser was the best to work with. Kent is a class act and true craftsman. His team is very skilled and he is one of the few people in this business with great integrity. There were a few additional costs but they were not caused by him; in fact he helped us solve some problems with the roof trusses that a less skilled contractor might have ignored and caused big problems later on. They framed the garage and the addition in about 5 days of work. If I were to owner-build again I would hire them if possible. I might also try to hire them for non-framing work if he is willing to do it under his general contractors' license.
Description of Work: Framing of garage and 700 square foot addition (carpentry/framing only; no finish work) including bedroom, bathroom, closet, office, laundry. Bid included all labor and nails but no lumber.
