Our motto is "Your Remodeler for Life", as we strive to develop a 20+ year relationship with our clients. We treat our clients' homes as we would our own.
Dave Kopke founded the business in 1993 after noticing undesirable trends in the industry. He wanted to do home improvement the right way, always keeping customer satisfaction his #1 priority. After word got around, our growth has remained consistent, with about 40% of business each year coming from past customers. In 2013, we moved to a much larger facility to accommodate our increasing needs while expanding our radius of travel.
Much of our staff are lifelong employees, and many of our clients no longer feel the need to "get 3 bids". We are seldom the lowest bid, but as we like to say, we are "where quality and affordability come together".
Once you experience Kopke, you will never look at remodeling the same.
Day one the expectation of the job was misrepresented to the staff. The GM showed up to my house during the measuring process and express visible disdain for me when he found out that the project did not include labor etc... Upon a future visit to the showroom he pulled a designer out of a meeting with me to discuss that I had used up all of my design time and they needed to wrap up the process. Perhaps they should test the thickness of their office walls before having such conversation. I would also like to add that at no point was it communicated with me how much time I had already used or that I was nearing the end of the time allocated in the bid. Prior to making payment for design services I was contacted numerous times to see if I was satisfied with the help I was receiving only to have to tell them I had not yet had my appointment and couldn't speak to a service level. After the appointment a standard of two weeks would go by between contact even when I would reach out for status/information. Lastly there appears to be only one employee there that can call me by name. I have been called Liz or Lynn verbally or in emails (neither of which is my name). I am quite sure the level of service they give is equal to the amount being spent. I am quite soured on the experience as a whole and I am honestly not sure how to proceed as I will need to start over from scratch possibly with a new designer.
Description of Work: I reached out to them for design work only as I have a crew to complete the remodel of our personal bath and closet. I was clear on the scope and asked if they were interested in bidding. Should they have not wanted the job they should have said so.

The workmanship of the drywall is not good. The taping shows through the paint, and needs to be removed and re-mudded. I noticed it originally in the bedroom and now I see it in the bathroom as well. I have contacted them to come out and look at it but they have not done so. They have given a lifetime warranty on workmanship and are not honoring that.

Saleslady came out to the house and was very professional and knowledgeable. Dale was the installer. Very professional. Kept us in the loop at all times about when the install would be done. Worked with us on our schedule. No problems at all. Door is exactly the one we wanted. They didn't normally stock the older-fashioned design we wanted, but they were willing to find it and buy it for us. The only minor issues we had : 1. We had told them in advance that one main reason we wanted to get a new door was that the old one wouldn't close all the way on its own. The new one also had a problem with this. The installer said "they are all that way... there is air being compressed between the two doors". That differed from the saleslady's info. She said "No problem, we can solve that". So the problem here was inconsistent expectation setting. 2. Two days after installation, there was a minor dent in the door. We don't know whether it was there when we got it. It could have been our family members using a knee on it, since it was stronger to open/shut than the old one... that was what we had wanted. So I won't assume the dent came with the door.

After getting three estimates, we decided to go with Kopke to install a brand new bathroom on our 2nd floor. They weren't the cheapest, but their honesty and forthrightness was what sold us. The final price wasn't a penny over the estimate which is amazing considering the amount of work and not knowing exactly what they'd run into putting a bathroom somewhere there was previously open space and no plumbing near by. And the construction crew was friendly, respectful, courteous and treated our home as if it was their own. They were always on time and always cleaned up at the end of the day. The project was completed on time without any delays. We'll definitely use Kopke for any other home improvements we have.

Since the install, I have had condensation trouble, ice build up, and ants getting in through the window track. I have tried multiple times to get them to come out and repair their poor work. Now, 2 months after the 2 year warranty has passed, and I am forced to take them to small claims court.

Response from Kopke Remodeling & Design Inc
We have been out to her home on several occasions, (every time she called), to look at the job, and can't find anything wrong with the product or the installation. We explained the causes and cures for condensation and ants, but she still thinks something is wrong with our work. Unfortunately, she doesn't understand that windows don't attract ants, or cause condensation. We offered the name of a local exterminator, as well as literature from Glen Haege that explains condensation causes and cures, and how humidity needs to be controlled. Until she realizes that we are on her side, there isn't much else we can do. There is no 2 year warranty. In fact, we offer a lifetime warranty on all workmanship, (for as long as you live in the home). We are more than willing to meet again to talk it over, but she doesn't want to meet. I sent a letter offering information and requesting a meeting. Otherwise, we are glad to go to arbitration and vigorously defend our reputation.

FIVE STAR Master Suite remodel in Fraser! We absolutely love our beautiful new master suite bathroom and custom closet remodeled/created by Kopke. I cannot say enough about the fine craftsmanship I witnessed throughout the remodeling process. Sam is an absolutely awesome carpenter with a wealth of knowledge aiding in the finish design process. He and the rest of the work crew took such pride in their work; they made us feel like we were the number one customer even though they were busy as can be. Jake made sure we were kept in the loop on progression and due dates as well as helping out his crew when needed. He even went above expected by pinpointing times of arrival and hours expected for the work on any given day; this allowed us to decide how we would handle comforting our dog. Having Jake, Sam and Will start the job was so refreshing; for us being prompt and passionate about one's work is essential; we could not have had a better start than to have timely, friendly and respectful craftsmen show up at our door on day one. This team has such a strong work ethic, was very happy to be here, and was respectful to our family, including our bark crazy dog, as well as treated our home/property like their own and always leaving it tidy. This crew was extremely hard working with a lot of attention paid to detail to make sure everything was completed to perfection. To Curt, Jake, Sam, Will, Bart, Vince, and Joe we say BRAVO!!! We don't know how to thank you enough for creating such a beautiful and tranquil space!

Kopke contacted us immediately and sent someone out the next day to quote our job. We wanted to replace a truly hideous kitchen floor without spending a fortune. We remodeled our kitchen about 15 years ago and everything still looked good except the floor. The dishwasher also needed to be replaced. Mike came out and suggested using click lock vinyl flooring which could be installed over the existing floor. We went with him to the showroom to pick out the flooring and a new side door. We agreed the job would be completed in mid-January (about 5 weeks after we met). About a week later we received a letter thanking us for our business and confirming the job would be complete in January. The floors and dishwasher were installed on January 12th and 13th, the storm door was installed on January 16th. Everything was done quickly and professionally. We couldn't be happier with the service and our beautiful new kitchen floor!

We always try our best to provide accurate estimates before signing a contract and beginning the work. Our customers appreciate this because "unexpected costs" therefore do not rise up during the job, adding to the project price after the contract has been signed. A few reasons that our estimates can be higher than others are: 1) We have "covered our bases" more thoroughly than the other companies. 2) The materials and design are not identical in each proposal. We are always happy to look at lower cost alternatives and designs, but on the first estimate, we design based on the customers wish list. If you ask for quartz, for example, we will price in quartz, but we would be happy to show you a revision that includes a different countertop material. We always try our best to create realistic project estimates. We will never pretend that what you want can be done for less, but we can offer suggestions to change the design to bring down the price.

He stated he had never installed a sun tunnel before and didn't want to risk his reputation on Angie's list. I appreciated his candor and professional. Based on our interaction, I will call him for an estimate in the future on jobs that he does perform.

We apologize for the tardiness of our consultant. We always try to stress punctuality, although sometimes there are situations that come up that cause delays. It is policy to call the customer to notify them if we are running late, so if he failed to do so, that is our fault, and we apologize. About the door, there must have been some misunderstanding. Sorry we were not able to provide the door you wanted, but hopefully you had luck finding it elsewhere!

The $500 was not a fee for an estimate, it is a fee for a design, complete with 3d renderings, elevations, full breakdown of all materials included, etc. Many homeowners confuse the terms "estimate" and "design". To clarify, we do not charge for consultations or estimates, but we do charge for design work.
