I am a small home based remodeling company that has recently relocated from Western NC to the sunshine state of Florida. I am looking forward to continuing a successful business doing bathroom and kitchen remodels, general repair, and handyman work in this area. I do the small jobs that the larger contractors seem to over look. Being the owner of the company, I perform or oversee all aspects of the work to be accomplished, to ensure quality work in a timely manner. Being a veteran of the US Navy maintaining Nuclear Reactors and Submarines, I know what it takes to give it your best on every challenge! I was a 2017 and 2018 Super Service Business of the year and want to continue this professionalism for the future . Give me a call. Lets see what we can do. 828-242-6700.
Description of Work: This company can do anything you want. Kevin is very creative, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. He has the best contacts for specialized work like concrete and hardwood floors. I wouldn't use anyone else!!

WIth Kevin's experience in this area, he was familiar with how to handle things. The damage was assessed and Serve-Pro was in there removing things and using large blowers for a few days. I was asked by State Farm and Serve Pro if I wanted to sign an authorization for Kevin to handle it since I was teaching in the classroom and I would probably have been an emotional wreck if I'd have come up from FL and seen my cabin that I would be retiring to in June. I put my trust in Kevin and he sent me texts and pictures to show me the progress. Fortunately, he did not send me pictures of the original damage but the repairs along the way. When I came up the last week of March during my Spring break, the cabin was better than it had been, I met some of his sub-contractors and was very impressed with the professionalism of the men he had working. I spent my spring break going through boxes and working with Serve Pro to sort which was not salvageable. They and I moved the boxes into the house and I went back to school to finish the year out. My clothes etc had not been returned from the dry cleaners before I left and Kevin reassured me that he would make sure that they got into my house. He really went the extra mile. With Kevin's professional help and support I was able to make the right decisions and cope emotionally. I continue to call him for improvements or changes that I'd like to have done. He is very precision-oriented in his work and customer focused. I recommend K B Silver Construction for any and all building needs.
Description of Work: I received a phone call from the Maggie Valley Sanitation Dept. telling me that I had used 90,000 gallons of water and they had shut the water off. I was in Florida teaching at the time so I asked Kevin Silver to go by the cabin to inspect the next day.He called me back to tell me that two pipes had broken-one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. My entire upstairs with wood flooring was saturated and my downstairs tongue-in-groove ceiling was dripping and it appeared like a rainforest downstairs, He contacted my insurance agent at State Farm and and assessment was made.

Our home was built in 1967 and was in need of new bathrooms and a kitchen. We were given Kevin's contact information by a friend. Kevin showed up the next day to discuss the details of the project. He quoted us a very reasonable price with no deviation. The project began the next week. Kevin and his crew were very professional, always cleaned up before leaving and rarely stayed once we arrived home for the evening. Now that the work is complete we have a home worthy of a magazine spread.
Description of Work: Installed 2 bathrooms and a kitchen from the studs up, new sheet rock, plumbing, wiring and lighting.

Just setting up a project has been a pleasure with Silver. Liked their work well enough to hire them for a bigger jog--remodeling the bathroom that needed a MAJOR overhaul, So far we are happy with that job as well, although it is not yet completed.

Description of Work: Called Mr silver twice. He did not show for the agreed date or time. We have not heard from him as to why etc. I will not attempt to use him again. I can not rate his work because he did not show up on the agreed time or date. I call that behavior unreliable. If he was sick or could not have come for any reason he could have called us. We are not unreasonable people.

Kevin Silver is amazing. He is not only the most knowledgeable home builder I have ever met, but he takes the time explain each step of the way, including what needs to be done and when. He's also excellent at coming up with ideas that we haven't thought of, which greatly improved on our original design. As an individual, super easy to get along with. During the job, he'll also roll up his sleeves and fill in if something is behind schedule like plumbing, electrical, painting, etc. Overall, I am very pleased and would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: We looked around for several contractors to do some major remodeling to a 20 year old house we just bought. We wanted to enlarge the master bedroom, enlarge the kitchen, add a 2-car garage, mud room/laundry room, and covered back porch. Most contractors we got quotes from would come out for an hour or so and look at the job, then phone in or email us a quote. I felt that these guys were not really looking at the whole project and what it entailed, and we were afraid that once the job got going we would incur a lot additional expense. Kevin did just the opposite. He came out the first time and sat down and talked with us, then came back probably 5 times with builders and engineers and went over every detail with us before providing us with a quote. He also recommended alternatives and enhancements to areas we overlooked that would not cost any more. As of this writing the work has been started and in progress and the quality and craftsmanship are excellent.
We hired Kevin Silver to correct an incorrectly installed drywall ceiling and finish out the garage. We are prepping the house for sale so we wanted the junky looking garage to be better. We picked Kevin from Angie's list mostly because of his location close to the house and the recommendations. He came promptly to look at the job and was very personable. He couldn't believe the poor quality of the prior work (unfortuately also a contractor from Angie's List) and immediately began to talk about how to make things look right. We always like contractors who do the job so thoroughly, so that you don't have to try to envision absolutely every detail that has to be done. Kevin is very excellent at this. He sent a thoughtful estimate that listed the major items by bullet points, using email, and included a price and a notation "this is turn key" in other words fully completed. He scheduled the job about a week later, and was one day late in starting due to heavy rains. He began sending phone photos as he worked, showing how things looked when taken apart, and how the work was progressing. He was careful to schedule around our needs to use the house unexpectedly. He made good progress and finished on time in 2.5 days, then made on final 30 min visit to complete a couple of items. He disconnected, drained, inspected, rewired, replumbed and added an additional on/off box to the electric water heater. He replaced the whole house water filter with a sturdier model, attached solidly to the wall unlike previously, with all new PEX plumbing lines and 2 isolator valves for use when changing the filter. He also left an extra filter. He disconnected, drained, inspected and moved the well pump, including securing the electrical service line. He also moved and replumbed the water conditioner and put all four units in a neat, organized place along the rear wall. He redid the existing drywall better than it had been before, and neatened out the ceiling as well, then painted all the drywall quite well. He was obviously enthusiastic about how well the garage looked now, and we were even more delighted when we saw it. It's still a garage, but a much nicer one. He wasn't pushy about the payment, which was as specified in the quote and included a tip because of the quality of the work. Kevin really held up his end of the deal and did what a contractor should - listen to the clients and ensure that what they want gets done including all the additional touches that they didn't mention. He's a real pro and we intend to have him do more work as needed in the future.
Description of Work: Kevin Silver did the work to finish a garage starting with a ceiling that had been drywalled improperly by another contractor. He came promptly for the estimate, talked to me for a long time to ensure that he understood what needed to be done, and gave me a detailed estimate via email, with price, before starting. He stripped out all of the existing shelves and miscellaneous stuff on the walls, removed the water heater, well pump, water conditioner and filter from their random locations. He then refinished all the dry wall, added trim around all the edges, and reinstalled the water heater, pump, conditioner and filter in a neat and orderly fashion all against a common wall. He made sure that each item was correctly reinstalled including rerouting electrical and water service, fully attaching each item to the wall or floor, and adding code-specified items such as an electric cut-off box on the water heater and valves to isolate the water filter when changing it. He also cleaned up some various wires for phone and cable that were previously "hanging" around, and made the entire garage look terrific. He fixed the ceiling drywall, then finished it with a textured coating. He patched the wall drywall in a few spots, then primed and painted with the color we selected and provided. He used his phone to send pictures as the work progressed as a visual update. The entire job took 2.5 days, as predicted, and my wife and I were delighted that the original mess could now look so neat and organized. I gave him a tip when I left him the check.

We have used him several times. I would highly recommend him. He is just extremely knowledgeable in a lot of different areas. He is good to come talk with me and discuss the issues with me. His prices are very fair.
Description of Work: K. B . Silver Construction took the whole roof off and put a new roof on. He repaired some water damage in different things and he put a new ceiling in.
Kevin Silver was very responsive and reviewed the work to be done within days of our initial contact. Best of all, even in this very busy time of year for contractors, Kevin was able to schedule the work within two weeks since he knew we had company coming and we had a safety issue. He finished the work in one day (today) and the landing and steps are now better than they were originally 13 years ago.When he presented his bill, he gave me the receipts for the material used including the credit for returned material for my records. We then added the labor we had agreed upon earlier.He did such a good job on this project we are working with him on additional repair projects for our roof and gutter system next. Details to follow on that work.
Description of Work: We contacted Kevin Silver Construction initially to repair a deck landing and steps that come off the back ot the house and that were all rotten. He and his helper Chris had to remove the rotten wood. They were careful to save the supports and railing that were still in good condition. They then rebuilt the support structure for the steps and then decked the whole thing with Trex (composite) decking material. The work done was square, plumb, and level and looks great. Excellent quality. They even had to deal with some little black snakes that were living under the old steps. Thankfully a happy ending for all involved. (I know the Angie's List commercial about the plumber who walked the customer's pomeranian is impressive, but having to work around and being kind to good snakes takes the cake in our book--and they didn't even charge us more for that part of the job:-)

On all the jobs Kevin has done for me, he has kept me informed as to what he is doing and why. The work was exactly what I needed, and I will have him back out to do additional work on my house. The back porch cover will probably outlast the house! We get so much more use out of our backyard area because of it. I feel much safer knowing that the wiring in my basement has been done properly and can handle the load. As for helping get my water meter replaced, I never would have been able to get to the right people to get that job done. Kevin knew who to call, and got them out quickly to get the job done. I was extremely grateful to have water again that same day!!
Description of Work: Kevin built a cover for our back porch that will to enable us to enclose the porch at a future date. The back porch is solid and extremely well-built. The roofing matches our existing roof, and everything is solid, solid, solid. He has also done electrical work in our basement, consisting of installing all new outlets and light fixtures, and running all new wire to the electrical box. The latest job he did was to replace some drain lines for the kitchen. He re-routed the new lines so that I will never experience any more clogs, and made sure the pipes were run so there was no interference with anything else downstairs. Kevin also came out and supervised the replacement of my water meter. He initially was going to do a repair on what we thought was a leaking water pipe coming into the house. When it turned out to be the meter, he called the town and got someone out to replace the meter.
Kevin and his assistant, Chris were friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and hardworking. I had multiple tasks that I needed done, things that were a little beyond our own home improvement skills. I had purchased a garage door opener. They installed it, which involved bringing electricity to the locality of the opener. They did a great job, attended to all details. Work area cleaned up, door opener works great. I needed a screen put on a window with no framing. The window was a small bathroom window in a block wall. Kevin built a frame, installed the frame and screen and trimmed it out and it will look great with a coat of paint. I needed a countertop that I had installed in our laundry room. Kevin built a frame, attached it to the wall, stabilized and secured the frame and attached the countertop. Good job. I also needed some crown molding and base molding cut (mitered) and installed in a room that was no longer square. Their installation was clean and well done. Kevin brings a positive attitude, lots of experience and multiple skills to his work. Thank you, Kevin!
Description of Work: Multiple tasks: Install garage door opener. Install gutters on back of garage. Install crown molding. Create and install screen frame for misfit window. Install fixed counter in laundry room.

I was SO pleased with this job! Kevin went above and beyond my expectations. I have to say I am a single female who knows NOTHING about this stuff and I only had a business card I had found. He came in with this really upbeat attitude and won my trust completely from the beginning. He worked within my budget and communicated every little change or problem along the way. And he was always cheerful!! All the people who worked with him were hard workers and fast at what they did and the best thing was that it was obvious that they took pride in their work. I cannot recommend highly enough the knowledge, expertise, and positive attitude of Kevin Silver and his partners!
