We had our 1920s basement finished. Gary and his team were flexible and positive and very responsive to communication. They had great ideas and tried their hardest to make mine a reality. During the project we had a couple of huge issues come up in our home, not related to the work Kiwi was doing. They helped remedy those problems ( one being a very large hole in a plaster ceiling) and when they couldn’t remedy it, they helped me problem solve. They are good at their jobs and good humans and that’s not always easy to find when looking for a contractor. Our basement is better than we could have hoped. We will certainly be calling Kiwi for the projects we have planned in the future.

Crew was professional, respectful of our space, clean and knowledgeable when I had the opportunity to meet with them. Finished work was beyond our expectations and very reasonably priced. Any questions, Gary and crew were able to answer. Once they were finished, Gary made a point to let us live in the space for a week and make note of anything we needed touched-up or changed. Very responsive to our needs.

The process of talking with Gary and getting his and his subcontractors (for electrical and plumbing) input for the potential new bathroom went great. Gary was good to work with and always on time. Ultimately, I decided not to have anyone make the addition at this time.

Gary knows what he is doing but fails at business communication. Rather than say he just isn't interested, or whatever, he strings things along or simply doesn't respond. Massive waste of time, which is a shame, because the quality of his work is obviously excellent.
Description of Work: Gary came by to provide an estimate on some work. Very detailed examination, clearly knows what he is doing. Said he was willing to take the contract but was very busy, asked me to keep in touch and never got back.

Everything went better than I could have imagined. I would recommend Kiwi Construction to anyone who wants a contractor who is going to accomplish what you want.
Description of Work: Did renovation on the condo I was moving into. Redid the kitchen, hardwood floors on the main level, painting, hung new lighting. Was easy to work with, had great and creative ideas on colors, tile.

We are very pleased with the results of the bath renovation. It has been a few months since the repair and there has not been any recurring water issues and the bathroom has garnered many compliments from our guests. The Kiwi crew were very pleasant to work with and they were meticulous in their workmanship. I feel like their pricing is fair given the amount of work they did. I will use them again for a few other home projects that I have in mind.
Description of Work: Kiwi performed an extensive repair on a leak in one of our bathrooms. The entire floor had to be jack hammered out and redone because of a previously poorly done bath renovation. They corrected the problem and then did a cosmetic overhaul of the entire bath. This included all tile work, new plumbing, vanity, lights, fixtures, and paint.

I called Gary looking for some ball park estimates on remodeling the back half of a ranch house (move bathrooms, create 3 bedrooms, etc). Gary was responsive and very professional in the conversation we had - giving me rough costs for various scenarios and options. Gary took the time to talk with me, gave me ideas, and was patient with all of my questions - even though he did not service the area my house was located! Excellent experience.
Description of Work: Gary helped put rough costs together for a whole house remodel.

Gary really helped us out when we needed a quick carpentry job doing in our bathroom so we could get granite installed. He came out when he said he would and did a very quick and efficient job, doing exactly what I asked him to do. He is a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Removed laminate surfaces and plumbing from bathroon in preparation for granite surfaces. Did some basic carpentry to ensure adequate support for granite surfaces. Installed 2 new water valves

The experience was easy from start to finish. I have moved a number of times in my life but this was by far the easiest. Kiwi Custom Construction along with Shayne and Mellisa turned a townhouse that was drab and uninteresting into a space that is warm and welcoming. They were able to look at the space and adapt it to what would be comfortable for me. The colors, the fabrics, the furniture placement, all were completed before I actually moved in. We discussed what I liked as far as colors and my life style They were able to move from that to creating the perfect space. I could go on but I don't believe I am doing the job they did justice. I now live in a townhouse that is completely done, and I love it!!
Description of Work: I purchased a townhouse that needed updating. Kiwi Custom Construction put in hardwood floors, opened a space between the kitchen and living room that brightened the kitchen area. The house was painted, title back splash in the kitchen. Besides working with the construction Gary also uses the talents of his wife Shayne to help with design and colors. Together they totally remodeled the space. After a month of construction they put everything in place, hung pictures, drapes, put pillows in place. When I moved in all I needed to do was put my clothes away. They are creative, easy to work with, and detailed oriented. I now have a space that is comfortable as well as beautiful. They present a total package.

The work was great, the support through a stressful time was even better.
Description of Work: I used Kiwi Custom Contractors to help get my house ready to sell. The house sold on the first day on the market and I am sure it was because of the great work Gary and his crew accomplished. When the inspection was complete and there were a few things that needed to be done I call Gary and the response was unbelievable. He helped get things finished and in a timely way that helped reduce all the seller's stress. If I could I would give him an A+

I am in the process of getting my house ready to sell. I needed some updating to the kitchen and master bath. There were also a number of things that needed to be updated or fixed. Gary was able to come in and look at the total house and help put the whole process together. The work was done in an efficient and timely way. The kitchen is a new color with tile accents, that bath is beautiful and I have a new closet that works great. Working with someone who is creative and also budget minded is a great combination. The job worked out much better than I envisioned.
Description of Work: Working with Gary was a delight. He updated my kitchen and master bath. The work is excellent. I came home from work and the house was put back together so life was not too disturbed. His ideas are creative and he was aware that we were working with a budget and stayed right on target. I highly recommend his company.
