We contracted with Kellow Construction to start a major kitchen/dining renovation the end of April, to be completed the end of August - and it was finished right on time! The permitting and demolition processes were smooth, and soon we were in the exciting construction phase. We were given plenty of time and assistance in making choices and it was fun to watch the transformation take place.Throughout the entire time, every worker was respectful of the fact that we were living in the house. The entire experience was pleasant and we are delighted with the outcome - the vision I had in my head is what we ended up with. Kudos to Kiel and Emily Kellow, Jason Long and the entire team for giving us a fabulous new space!
Kellow Construction is the best of the best! They helped me redesign my primary bath and I couldn’t be happier. They treated me like family and helped make my project better than I could have possibly imaged. I highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Kellow Construction enough! We needed a pole in our living room removed - right before Christmas - eek! Well there was absolutely nothing to worry about. The team that came in was so knowledgeable about the work and even had ways we hadn't thought of to make it better. The guys could not have been more friendly and kind. I truly got the sense that they all really loved what they do and genuinely enjoyed each other. I feel like that came through in the amazing job they did.Not only did they do a fantastic job on the project, they left the house better than they found it. You would never have guessed that we had construction done - it was spotless.Kiel always answered any questions that we had thoroughly and thoughtfully, always including both my husband and me in the process. And to top it off, he is just a sincerely great guy and a pleasure to talk to.It is rare to have work done without any hassles or stress but I've never even heard of anyone actually enjoying the process, but that is exactly what you'll get with Kellow Construction. We can't wait to have them back for more projects!
Working with Kellow Construction was top notch. They make true legacy homes, thinking about every detail such as home systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to design details (color, textures, arches). Out of all the design-build companies we met with, we felt like they were the most honest and intentional. Their constant communication is a breath of fresh air, too. I like their attention to detail and how they want to create not just a home that can last another 15 years, but a home that last the next 50. I highly recommend Kellow Construction.
We had a fantastic overall experience with Kellow Construction on the structurally complex remodel of our historic home, a former barn built in 1888. From the tip of the roof to the foundation, Kiel and team not only have the construction expertise that brought our old house back to life for another 100+ years, but are also talented at design and did beautiful finish work that went beyond our expectations. A lump sum contract was important to us, and Kellow did a thorough job with pre-construction planning, detailing an agreement that worked within our budget. They had a respect for our old house and have a passion for their craft. They were engaging and communicative throughout the project and really met us where we were at with regard to our desire for input and involvement, which really made the experience enjoyable. We highly recommend them and feel lucky and proud to now live in a home they helped create.
