Response from KJ Construction
The Member contacted me about an estimate and I responded that I would call to set up a date and time. I had an emergency situation shortly afterward and neglected to call. When I realized, I called the member and left a message apologizing with an explanation. Please look at the plethora of "A" rated reviews by happy members I actually did work for, in order to get an accurate assessment of how I run my business and the kind of work I do. With all due respect to this particular member, we contractors who have good ratings are usually busy and a lot of us who have smaller businesses, wear all the hats, I.E. we are the workers, purchasers, estimators, secretaries, PR department, etc...your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated, as is a simple message or phone call before you post a bad review. We may be professionals, but we are human as well.

Overall, the stairs, tub and paint job are very nice. Hopefully you have a lot of time and money, because Kurt is very slow. 3 days for the tub and over 8 hours just to paint a ceiling. Actually half of the ceiling. Very surprised how long it takes Kurt, especially since he is not lazy.

Response from KJ Construction
The Amount of time it took to to do the tub and paint was not at all excessive. The Tub was a remodel which consisted of: 1) Removing the existing tub/surround and disposing. 2) Prepping the walls to accept the new tub. 3) Reinforcing the sub floor, 4) Re plumbing the waste and supply, both of which were not accessible once the new tub was installed. 5) installing the new tub and surround. 6) installing the finish plumbing. 7) clean up. Also worth mentioning, is the fact that the bathroom was on the second floor and all cutting and most of the preparation was done outside the first floor. The ceiling was a 2 story foyer that required scaffolding and included caulking in the crown moulding against the ceiling and wall,and touching up the moulding/ walls where the previous painter slopped them up. Sufficient drying time for caulk and different colored paint was needed, as well as time climbing and moving scaffold. I am meticulous in my work and care of my tools, and work the same whether I am working with a contract or Time and material basis. I cannot be liable for time tables not discussed ahead of time.

The quality of the work was excellent and Kurt was a pleasure to work with. He first installed shut off valves to the new tub area so the water could be turned back on in the house. This was a simply great idea. He then demolished the old tub and surround. After preparing the area for the new unit he started installation. He found some hairline cracks in the new surround and after a discussion I asked him to suspend work until a new pane could be shipped in. Kurt was great to work with because he accepted my decision and we agreed that I would call as soon as the new panel arrived. The panel took 6 weeks to arrived and Kurt and I agreed on a new work schedule. Weather did push the date back a little but I had no problem with that. I have worked with a number of contractors in the last 4 yrs and KJ Construction, Kurt, has been one of the best, He told me what he expected to get done each day and kept to that schedule. He worked hard and always communicated with me about what was being done. Any problems he gave me a list of options and we decided what was the best solution together. The quality and care of his work and cleanup each day was great.
Description of Work: Demolished old tub, plumbing and tub surround. Replaced with new tub, new fixtures,new grab bars, new surround and repaired all the walls around the tub area.

His work is very good. We ran into a snag. He used the formula to order the upright for the railing going in front. The formula left him somewhat short. I think it was a good price. He got so many responses from the big deal, so he didn't get to start the project when it would've been timely to do it. We talked about that and he said he learned something from that. Sometimes you need to turn work down. It took sort of long to get it finished because of the balusters being help up and the weather. I'm very patient but after awhile it gets annoying. The work was excellent. It's the timing issue he needs to work on. He was very good about calling me and keeping me apprised of what was going on.
Description of Work: I used a big deal purchase for KJ Construction. He painted the front with exception of the front door. He also put in a railing on the front stairs. I added things on to the big deal purchase.

He did a great job ,he also completed basement stairs that needed some joint compound....My only issue is that I needed to do the sanding once the compound dried .He then told me that there would be an additional charge to return for small sanding .This should have been made clear in the special and prior to agreeing to have the job done,no matter how small the and sanding was we were not great at it , and he did such great job with is composing .

I had purchased french doors and he had installed them for me. I had purchased a bedroom that had cracked and he hung the door. It went great. I am extremely happy to have the office doors installed. He was clean and he brought his own tools and I plan on having come out again. He called to confirm the appointment a week before the appointment date.

It went very well. The contractor came out to see what the job entailed. He put us on his schedule right away. We explained that we needed to clean out the garage and we would call. The contractor was very patient and when we did call he arranged to come the following Saturday. He was on time and did a very good job. It took more time than the coupon stated but he had warned us and told us his rate for additional hours when he came to look at the job.He worked hard and did not take any breaks.All in all we were very satisfied with the entire experience.

There was a misunderstanding. Contractor was under the impression that the customer was going to call when they solidified the job to be done. Contractor received no warning or check up call before the review.

We had a small exterior siding repair. Kurt was aware of what needed to be done. He was professional, timely, organized and complete. I would definitely call him again and I would also use him for a larger job.
Description of Work: Kurt contacted me promptly. He set up a time to come out and view the project. We scheduled a time for the repair to be completed. Unfortunately, we needed to reschedule due to the rain. Kurt was quick to notify me of the need to reschedule and quick to set a new date.

Response from KJ Construction
I had to rearrange my schedule to do both the estimate, and the work as per the customer’s request since they had a very tight window of time to get it done. I submitted a fair estimate that was based on an hourly rate far less than the coupon’s worth. When it was rejected by e mail, I responded with several ways we could adjust the work to better fit their budget, but there was no response.

Overall the things went great. We had KJ Construction working on the house over the course of two months doing a full interior paint job (including a LOT of patching and sanding), and huge kitchen remodel/expansion project. We've have had him back here and there for new projects, or for ongoing projects, as we've had the finances available. He was fantastic to work with. The project started with a very thorough, free estimate, he showed up when he said he would, worked long hours when necessary to make a deadline, was sensitive to the fact that we were living in a construction zone for a few months, and was very polite and extremely personable. The project started with the ceiling re-do's and the interior painting. I can't say enough about the quality of his patching and painting...he was meticulous about the trim and the walls and everything looked dynamite when he was finished. We then had him move onto the kitchen project, and then did a few things here and there like a window replacement and some ceiling fan additions throughout the house. I really liked the fact that he was willing to work with my vision for the house, and also added some extremely good options/suggestions, many of which we then factored into the projects. He is very experienced and knowledgeable and is capable of bringing a lot to the planning process of a project. We've now lived in the house for several months and I can honestly say that I'm just as pleased with his work now as I was when he was finished. We're planning on having him back to do additional window replacements this spring/summer, and also to do kitchen floor replacement and possibly some new storm doors this year. Another thing we really appreciated was that he was sensitive to our budget. He was extremely willing to work with us to make things happen as we had the finance availability to do them, including doing some of the projects in segments. Working with someone who was so flexible in this area was a huge plus for us.
Description of Work: We had all downstairs ceilings patched and repainted as they had severe cracks. We also had the entire interior of the house painted. KJ Construction then did a major kitchen update and expansion: they added plumbing for a dishwasher and installed the dishwasher as well as a new sink, faucet and garbage disposal; they framed and drywalled new soffits, adding a built in microwave/exhaust above the new stove area and doubled the number of kitchen cabinets, including building a sink base from scratch); they added crown molding and built custom formica countertops including an all new 5-person sitting area/peninsula at one end, and added a butcher block countertop next to the stove. We've also had KJ Construction install a replacement window in the living room, and they've handled some basic electrical projects that have gone with the living room and kitchen jobs, such as redo light switches, install ceiling fans, add some new ceiling light fixtures (in kitchen), install a motion sensor lights outside the backdoor to the the kitchen, etc.

Overall it was a great experience. Kurt has great integrity, nice guy and really makes sure the customer is satisfied.
Description of Work: Kurt Hutchinson is very professional, knowledgeable and a great work ethic. He takes his time and does the job start to finish. We did a huge remodeling of knocking out walls, roof uplifts and other. Kurt advised us on specifics for the break out which we did and then he did all the framing, sheet rock and sanding. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs work done. We look forward to having him back.
