Not well at all. We've used Kelly Construction in the past with good results but this time was different, unfortunately. Here is the bottom line up front: The work he has done for us has been acceptable but I would stay away from him because he is unreliable and does show up when he says he will and does not keep his word. For me, that is a deal-breaker! The story: I called him when I found out what repairs needed to be done for the sale of our house. He quoted a price for the easy repair items and agreed to come out and take care of them and provide a quote for the other items once he got there. He completely blew off our first appointment without calling me. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and set up a second appointment. He managed to get there only an hour or so late for the second appointment. He came alone and fixed the things he said he would fix. He did those repairs well. We discussed the other repairs and we discussed a price. HE AGREED TO DO THE WORK. I told him we were on a timeline and he understood and said he would get the work done within 3 weeks. Three weeks came and went. I did not hear from Steve. I called repeatedly. He did not answer. I left voice mails that were not returned. I tried to contact him through Angie's List. He did not get back to me. Of course, since he agreed to do the work, I stopped looking for anybody else to do the work. Once it became clear that Steve was not going to do what he said he would do, It was next to IMPOSSIBLE to find a qualified contractor who would do the work for me in the time I had left. I place blame squarely on Steve Kelly's shoulders. Had he told me he didn't want to do the work up front, I would have been able to find someone else. Kelly Construction does not show when they say they will, does not do what they say they are going to do. I will not be calling them again.
Description of Work: We needed a few repairs done prior to the sale of our house. Nothing too significant but it had to be done before closing

Our project was to enclose part of a back screen porch to use it as an office. Additionally, a kitchen cabinet was built to accomadate a new gas range and microwave. The island cook top was removed a butcher block top was added. Steve Kelly was punctual in submitting his bid for the project and the price fit our budget. We felt very comfortable with Steve and his employees having access to our house as we were often not present when work was in process. We think the work was of the best quality, things were made to look as though they were original to the house and we had minimal clean-up to do when the work was completed. While the project took longer than it should, we would call on Steve again and be glad to recommend him. Ed Cummings - 300 Lake Carolina Blvd, Columbia, SC

Their quoted price was $3,300 but I did not use them for this project. I liked the past projects they showed me. The owner and his partner came, were very professional and got their estimate to me in a timely manner. I sometimes wish I had used them to do my job instead of the other company I chose.

We had an outstanding experience with Kelly Construction. I initially contacted Steve through Angieslist email. He was very responsive and contacted me within 5 minutes of submitting the request. He was here the next day to give us an estimate. While he was here, he talked to us about what we wanted, options available to us, his crew, and the materials he would be using. Within two days, Steve had provided a detailed, easy to understand, written estimate. When the day came to install the windows, Steve and his crew were on-site, on time and with all the tools supplies and equipment they needed and they went straight to work. I was impressed with the speed at which they installed the windows! The window install went quickly. The detailed work of wrapping the window boxes was a little slower. The crew took its time to get it right and it shows. The windows look great! We had an excellent experience with Kelly Construction. They were prompt, on time, professional and courteous, and the price was right! I highly recommend Steve Kelly and his crew at Kelly Construction for all your window replacement needs! You will not be disappointed.
Description of Work: Kelly construction replaced the old, drafty, single pane windows of our upstairs with new, Energy Star rated windows and sided the window boxes of our gambrel roof windows.

He never returned our calls to even come and look at the job and it's a 20K+ job.
Description of Work: We had a large job that needed to be completed as soon as possible. We called Mr. Kelly on a Friday and he said that he was working on a large job he was finishing up and would call us and meet with us first thing Monday. He said that he was "hungry" for work and would take anything. Monday came and went. We called and left messages for him 4 or 5 times over the course of the week with the last message stating that this was the last message we were going to leave and assumed that he didn't want the work and was OK with a very negative review on Angie's List. Still never heard from him.
If you are considering calling Steve, please do, you will not regret it. He and his team are professional, they stay in constant communication with you, and Steve will work with your schedule and needs to get the job done. My only regret up to this point is that 'life' threw us off track for a while.
Description of Work: Steve Kelly of Kelly construction was contacted to provide a free estimate on a major remodeling project for our 'new' older home just purchased. We were originally on a time cruch to complete the remodeling job prior to moving in at the beginning of June. Steve came out and spent a considerable amount of time looking over the project. He returned several days later with his plumber and electrician to look at the job closer in order to provide a detailed estimate with the best cost basis possible. Steve and his plumber and electrician were extremely professional. After the visits, Steve provided his estimate ahead of the original estimated date and he even came in person to discuss it with me in detail. I told him I had some 'demo' work to finish in the home prior to deciding on who to hire (I called 7 companies in all for bids). During 'demo' my husband and I found numerous problems in the house we did not anticipate. I contacted Steve about these additional problems and he was awesome, he even talked me through some of them and even offered to send some of his guys over to help us. During all of this, Steve was in constant contact with me via phone and email. I HIGHLY recommend Steve for consideration as he was extremely professional, was always in communication with me, and even went above and beyond trying to help us out. Unfortunately, we had to put our entire remodel project on hold for several months and are not ready to hire a major contractor due to an unexpected, immediate death in the family (and the associated $$ costs it resulted in). We still have not moved in (as of late July) However, when we are ready for a major contractor, Steve will be the first person I call! And I would even work with his schedule versus him working with ours.

Never used them because they didn't call me back.
Description of Work: I called and left 2 messages for this company because I wanted a quote on some siding work for my house. No one ever called me back. I figure if they cannot even call you back to chase the job, they don't want it bad enough and they usually won't do a high standard of work if you do hire someone who won't return phone calls. First impressions go a long way in my book.

The project went very smoothly. After lookng at the work that needed to be done, Steve provided a detaled estimate within a couple of days. We signed a contract on Friday and hs crew began work on Monday. The work proceeded smoothly and steadily until completion.
Description of Work: I hired Kelly Constructon to repair flood damage to a family room (a converted garage). The work included drywall replacement, painting, bathroom refurbishing, tile installation, insulation installation, and fan installation. I could not be happier with the results. The room looks great and the price was right. Steve and his crew were very professional. During the project, Steve's primary concern was that I was satisfied. I defnitely plan to use this company again in the future.

We did allot of checking on Angie's List and had companies come out to give us an estimate. Steve Kelly came out and we talked for a long time. We found out allot about him and asked for references. I contacted 4 of them and they all had the same things to say. He was fair priced, approachable, honest and eager to make you happy. He won our business.As time went on a relationship seemed to be developing, more than client /contractor. My husband who can be anti-social seemed to gravitate outside allot laughing & joking with the entire crew. This crew works as a TEAM!! Everyone on this team contributed to a job well done!!!!! Thank you over & over. Don't hesitate to call this company
Description of Work: Foundation: Existing screen room was removed for start of addition. Existing footers were confirmed to be sufficient width and depth to tie in properly for support of the weight of new addition. Installed foundation vents & moisture barrier in new crawl space along with placement of access door. Exterior: Exterior walls framed and moisture barrier applied. Wall insulated with R-13 batt insulation. Installed 1/2" osb sheating, Vinyl siding was applied to match exsisitng siding. Double Low e insulated windows installed in each of the two new rooms. Steel door installed at rear wall. Roof: Constructed wood framed, gable style roof to full width of addition at exsisting ridge height. Extended gable at the right side of homeand neatly tied in valley attachment on left. R-30 insulation was installed in new attic.

A wood framed partition wall was constructed to separate kitchen/dining area from music room. Installed Interior door and trim for egress to and from music room. Sound batt insulation was installed in music room walls. Screened Porch Constructed covered and screened porch 12X10 w/treated 4x4 post. 5/4" treated decking, shed style, aluminum roof. Screen door and doggie access placed.
We needed more storage so after asking around, Steve Kelly was recommended to us. I gave him a call, he came out and we discussed our needs/wants etc. He gave us several options to choose from and we started the estimate process from there. He is very professional and easy to talk to about what we wanted and expected. Once we got the contract agreed upon, he began working. We made a few changes along the way and he and his crew were great about those as well. For example, I had them put windows where I thought I wanted them and when I saw the holes framed up, I decided it wasn't really going to work out in reality like it had in my mind and it was no problem for them to change them, no complaining etc...they just did what I asked, even in the sweltering heat. I think he does good work at a fair price and while we haven't had any issues come up with his work so far, (it was just recently completed) I feel if we do, he will take care of it and stand behind his work. Overall, we are very pleased with Steve and his crew and would not hesitate to recommend or use them again in the future, which I plan to do with a kitchen cabinet remodel and a new deck if my husband doesn't get it done!!
Description of Work: We had Steve Kelly Construction build a 24x24 garage with a bonus room type storage area above the garage with stairs going up and a covered 24x12 patio off one side. It is vinyl sided on a concrete slab, shingle roof, has windows etc.

Excellent! everything is beautiful. The only problems we had were when the window didn't come in as they were ordered. This was not his fault. Things after the job went South. Had trouble getting him on the phone when we had a "punch list" of problems with the job. He finally came out and fixed the stuff but wasn't happy about it.
Description of Work: On our home had a flat roof. We had replaced it once and decided that we would get an opinion. Steve at Kelly Construction had done work for us at our business. His work was great. Attention to detail is terrific. He suggested we make a gabled roof over the pre-existing flat roof. He said he could make us an extra room. We also wanted out family room redone. He completely gutted it and reconfigured it. It looks great. He replaced our windows and they look great!
