RISE OVER RUN

I am THOROUGHLY impressed with Rise Over Run and the team that Kai has assembled. My only disappointment is that I didn't know about them when we started our home renovation project three years ago. Kai came HIGHLY recommended by a neighbor who happens to be a local real estate developer/builder. I began the complete remodel of my home three years without the benefit of Angie's List. After some rough beginnings, I've been selecting contractors either through Angie's List or based on referrals from neighbors that have had similar work done. I have had a number of contractors in over the years and Kai is the best carpenter that I've dealt with. Both my wife and I were extremely impressed with the quality of the work and their attention to detail. They went well above the initial scope by identify areas of improvements that may not have been major for them but they had a huge impact for us. We've gone without a doorbell for years and we were initially told that it would be extremely difficult to add (you ll have to read the bad contractor report submitted earlier). After noticing that a small section of siding needed to be replaced, Kai replaced the siding, added insulation to a wall AND installed the doorbell. WOW! After adding the six windows that we contracted him to install, he added window sills to two additional windows in the front of the home giving it a consistent look and the cottage charm that we were looking for. Instead of the now standard dry wall returns inside the windows, he added interior trim molding in my daughter s room making it fit for the young princess. Kai ordered all of the windows, brought all of the required equipment (even let me barrow some for a small project), showed up when they were supposed and STAYED UNTIL THE WORK WAS COMPLETE! How many times have I had a contractor stop in the middle to go do another project? We don t have deep pockets and I mentioned that we have to save up for a year to get a project like this done. I appreciate writing a check to someone who deserves it and they certainly earned it as well as the tip that we included. Kai was the best because he was fair, generous, trustworthy, and could handle all of our needs, quickly and with excellent quality. He works with the best people, including his wife Liz and another skilled carpenter, Al, each bringing a great deal of experience. I highly recommend them for a large and small house remodeling projects.
