K-WEST CONSTRUCTION

Great company to work with! I have a daylight walkout basement and wanted a patio cover installed over the entryway. Ken came out and talked to me about my options, and had great suggestions. The company did a great job of communicating with me about when the job would start, how long it would take, etc. I am extremely happy with the results. The entryway is beautiful, and looks like it's part of the house. Several neighbors didn't even realize we had added a cover to the entryway - it looks that much like the house! Very happy with the quality of the work done.

I had been getting water in the basement (seepage) with heavy rains. In addition to the foundation repair, I had some gutter work done, broken patio concrete removed, and dirt brought in, all to mitigate water problems. K-West used sub-contractors for HVAC, plumbing, flooring, drywall, and electrical, but over-saw the whole project and did the carpentry in the craft room, finish work, and all the painting. They also replaced windows and had to rebuild the stairway because of city code. The finished product is beautiful. Unfortunately, with our very heavy rains in May and June this year I still got some seepage. Maybe there is nothing that could be done realistically to prevent some water in such conditions. The length of time for the project was several months longer than expected; some delay was due to times when I didn't want workers here, but there were weeks at a time when they were on other jobs. Also the entire project cost about 50% more than bid, but most of that was due to my requesting extras. Over-all the work is excellent. Ken's staff are all wonderful guys, and the subcontractors were all also very professional and pleasant to work with.

Ken (owner) and Tim (job foreman) were contracted to remove and replace two small basement windows with new egress windows and the escape wells. The original price for the windows and wells was just under $7400.00, but increased due to my requested modifications during the project. The project took a few days to complete but went well. During the process some unforseen glitches occured, but I was always able to talk with one or both gentlemen. Everything was handled professionally and taken care of. I even had a question arise related to one of the subcontractors used for requested modification. Tim was very helpful and supplied me with the information I needed. The subcontractor was also very good and followed up with me once I contacted him. This shows that K West utilizes high quality sub-contractors on their projects as well. Over all, I am very happy with my new windows.

They were here for about 4 months, working on my house. The experience was very good, they are very nice. I feel like I could trust them, they were doing honest work, I could call them anytime and they would respond.

K West was very patient with our indecision and the fact that we kept changing our mind on what we wanted to do. Reluctantly we chose not to use them and went with a different contractor for our project, but we will definitely consider them for future projects.

The whole process was great. All the conversations and interactions were directed to my needs. Everyone recognized me as a customer and gave me personal attention rather than treating me as "a job". Ken Westerhold the owner and Leslie Monismith the office manager were always responsive to any needs I had. The project came in under the projected estimate and was done on time.
