"Thank you for the kind words and for the review. Glad would could help. It was great working with you!"
"While we certainly do enjoy great reviews, we think that you may have posted this on our page inadvertently."
"Thank you for the opportunity to be involved in this project. This project had some fun ideas and challenges we enjoyed working through. We pride ourselves on honesty and integrity. Bids are in great detail in order to prevent confusion to our clients and personnel. As we did in this case, on multiple occasions, we were more than happy to sit down with the client and go through each particular line item in order to make sure we were clear. As our customers make changes to the original scope of work or add customization, these details effect the project timeline and project valuation. We will let our previous reviews, and our multiple awards speak for themselves in regards to quality. Every single item of work, no matter how small the detail, was worked through with the homeowners and signed off on prior to us receiving final payment and concluding our business. All workmanship is warrantied and we will stand by our warranty."
We obtained 3 estimates, KC Home Solutions was not the least expensive but from looking at the examples of their work on their website we felt that they might do good work.
We made a good choice. They subcontracted out the work except for framing, they have their own framers who do outstanding work.
They appear to be perfectionists. I have done some framing so I am not completely ignorant. I did finish a basement 30 years ago in a different part of the country and toyed with the idea of trying to do it myself, but I'm glad I didn't. I always said that I would be disappointed with the work that anyone else did so I would rather do it myself. But I'm glad to say that I was wrong!
It turned out great. KC Home Solutions uses contractors that do the quality of work that they desire or they won't have them work again. There are always minor issues that need to be addressed and they make sure that they are fixed to their and our satisfaction.
Over and over they would say "...whatever you want..."
The have very friendly outgoing personnel that truly seem to care about the quality of work that is done.
I highly recommend. I know that statement means nothing without qualification. Everybody has different standards, expectations, opinions, etc. I am somewhat of a perfectionist, a type A personality, a retired Clinical Laboratory Scientist.
Originally scheduled for Monday. Called on Friday to confirm, found out they were not going to be there until Tuesday. The contractor was aware of the schedule I had with painters and going out of town. The initial estimate was a 3 day job. I have a flower garden in front of the window. I realized that some of the plants may get damaged. I asked the contractor to do all he could to avoid this. Didn't work. Watched as the workers dropped wood right onto the plants as if they didn't care. Watched the worker talking on his phone as he was on the ladder working.
The drywall part of this job took an additional 3 days, that was not explained to me in the beginning. The dry wall guy did a great job.
The last person at the house was there to trim out the inside window. Arrived with no material. Did an average job. Wide joints, trim edges not matching up.
Finally, no walk through with the project manager. Received a text from him originally that he would be buy yo get the check, which I expected to do a walk through at that time. Instead, he texted me asking me to give the check to the person doing the trim work.
"Mr. [Member name removed], Thank you for trusting our company with your project. We believe in the review process, and are glad to see your review. We welcome any feedback that potentially could help better our business. The drywall process should have been communicated better that due to the drying process between coats it takes 3 trips to get a good finish on the wall. We apologize about the day of notification that we were unable to be there. We had thought on Friday that with our guys working the [Member Information Removed] before your project they would be able to wrap that project up. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I was happy to see that we were still able to meet our deadline without sacrificing quality, even though we had additional repairs found needed. So we appreciate the good grade on the quality portion. Regarding the plants, sorry for damaging these plants, it certainly wasn't anyone's intention. I hope replacing those additional 2 trim [Member Information Removed] at no additional expense was an adequate [Member Information Removed]. If there is a concern about the trim work, we are happy to come in and correct for you? This most certainly should have ended with a walk through from our project manager. We appreciate your business, and for taking the time to review our company."
"Thank you for the kind words. This was a really fun project and the before and after photo's show the transformation really well. Of course it's always helpful with homeowners have great design ideas already in mind. We hope you enjoy your the space for years to come!"
We interviewed several contractors for our remodel job. Most gave us a ball park estimate without any detail. Two gave us detailed estimates. The estimate from KC Home Solutions (KCHS) was very detail and easy to understand. Nick was very easy to work with and very patient with us as we made several changes that needed to be reflected in the estimate as our project evolved. Nick had several good ideas that we incorporated in our project. Our start date was set for two months from the time we signed the KCHS bid. We received detail drawings of our project for our review before the project started.
The project started right on time. Jason the project manager arrived first thing in the morning on the day the project started. He discussed with us what we could expect over the next six to eight weeks. Jason is an outstanding communicator both with the customer and the workers. At each phase he met with us and the subcontractor to go over exactly what was to be done. His through communication helped assure problems were kept to a minimum. Jason made sure everything was done the way we wanted it. I’m a perfectionist but so is Jason…..He has very high work standards. His rough in carpenter Rod and Pedro did outstanding work. The sub contractors were all highly skilled and very courteous.
Jason ran a tight schedule and something happened almost every day. The project was completed in eight week on scheduled. Jason always took care of any issues to our satisfaction.
The quality of the work was outstanding. We used a lot of marble and polished nickel. The tile work, cabinetry, woodwork etc had perfect fit and finish. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work that was done and how great everyone was to work with during this project.
"Thank you for the kind words! This was a really fun project. The changes made from basic builders grade bathroom to this marble spa was really cool to see. We hope that you all enjoy this master retreat for years to come."
"Thank you for the kind words and the review! Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed] were a pleasure to work for, thank you again for the opportunity."
"Thank you for the review, we really appreciate it. It was great working with your family. Being able to work through such a tight timeline was a unique challenge for a project the size of yours. Long term, facing and accomplishing the timeline has and will continue to help us improve our processes. We hope that you all enjoy your basement for years and years to come!"
As stressed out as I might get through out the process, I want to say every time I talked to Nick the owner, I felt better and knew we had made the right choice.
Framing for the entire space was done in a day and half and the owner Nick was on site to start. The electricians were awesome and gave me everything I asked for. The plumbing was laid out all in one day and that included breaking the cement floor.
I would hire Nick and KC Home Solutions again.
That being said I think like any construction project there are always challenges. We finished about 1400 sq ft of an 1800 sq ft basement so it was no tiny project. Every subcontractor or vendor KC Home Solutions use are top notch. Wood work, tile, flooring, electricians, and plumbers. Basically any trade that shows up with a real logo on their vehicle is going to produce good stuff. Where I think we ran into challenges were with drywall and painters. They are less skilled labor and more manual labor. I have checked this with other contractors... it is really hard to find a good long lasting crew for this kind of work. We felt they rushed and were a bit sloppy so extra work needed to be done to finish it right. The thing about it is that Nick and his guys they will fix any issue and make it right. One other criticism that we have is that the time management for our project seemed to be challenging and control of the timeline could have been managed better, we went about 2-3 weeks longer than we should have. As frustrating as that was, we stayed in contact with Nick and everyone involved, our got basement finished and it is amazing. I trust Nick and would have him back. We recently had to replace a kitchen faucet, and we contacted Nick so we could use the plumbers who did our basement work.
Something different about our job is that I had almost 95% designed and selected prior to hiring KC Home Solutions. This included the floor plan and layout. When it was all finished it looked almost exactly like what I had spent 3 years dreaming and designing. When my family sees the completed pictures they say it perfectly matches what I had attempted to describe to them. I think this is a positive for Nick and his crew, as they listened, and were able take what I dreamed up on paper and made it a reality.
Even though I brought the design to my project, I believe they have a good design aesthetic and if you don't have anything designed or you just have a general outline of what you want, this crew can give you something you never expected and you will be thoroughly happy with the finished results.
I have one last tip, it is good to have ideas or general thoughts on color and such, but I recommend visiting their vendors for tile, fixtures and such to see what they have before you get yourself committed to something you saw on Houzz or at a big box store.KC Home Solutions uses Vendors that have quality products that you will want to use and it makes the process quicker and easier. One caveat to that, unless it truly is an inferior product (and Nick will take the time to explain why he doesn't recommend using it) they will incorporate anything you want.
From the first day when Nick S. showed up with the framing crew we knew we had hired the right company. KC Home Solutions is professional, efficient, punctual, respectful and they do really great work. Everyone who entered our house treated it as if it was their own. During the project KC Home Solutions made some great design recommendations that we hadn't thought of that helped make the finished product even better. I guess one of the best compliments I can pay KC Home Solutions is that when the project was over I was actually disappointed that Jason and the team would not be coming over any more. Over the course of about 7 weeks they practically became family. Even the dog wouldn't bark at them when they came into the house!
We wound up finishing the project on time and just over budget, but that was because we added a few non budgeted items during the course of the renovation. I have recommended KC Home Solutions to numerous friends and neighbors. If you are looking for a contractor who is detail oriented, professional, respectful and punctual then look no further. Hire KC Home Solutions today!
"Let's first start by saying that even though you're a Mets fan, we are still really happy to have taken on your project! :) There are some customers that you work with that, once the job is completed, you just move on to the next project. Some of our guys are still bringing up stories about your project and spending time with your family. We all very much enjoyed working with you guys and being able to take your basement from unfinished storage space with an odd toilet, to a space your family can use and enjoy for years to come. Thank you for the review and maybe we can swing by and watch a game or two next season, maybe opening day?"
Our bathroom was a HUGE make-over, taking a sorely outdated look, and turned it into an amazing personal retreat/spa! The detailing and work looks amazing. KC Home Solutions worked with us along the way as we made some tweaks/changes to some original plans, as well as making important decisions with some details as those portions of the project came up. We went with some "insets" in our tile in both our shower and over our soaker tub, and the placement and size were discussed and determined to our desire. Ideas were collaboratively shared between us, as the home owner, and KCHS to find our likes and taste, while also considering additional ideas in the area of remodel. Our waterfall tile feature in our expanded shower and the inset over our soaker tub are truly the focal points of the room which were our desired outcome. The craftsmanship of new vanity built by their recommended vendor is also a beautiful piece we absolutely love with so much more storage! KCHS was always accessible, responding to any items or questions we had regarding our remodel whether it was through email, phone, or text. Please check out our AMAZING new master bath on the KC Home Solutions Facebook page!
The job started on time and I can't say enough good things about all the guys who were in and out of our house for the 10 week span. The core KC Home Solutions crew (Nick S., Jason, Pedro, Nick C.) are a great group of guys. Very respectful of our home and also really friendly when my kids would ask questions or want to check out the progress. Its clear that they are all family guys and I loved that! They cleaned up each evening way beyond what I expected.
Jason was our project manager and was readily reachable by phone/text/email for any questions or concerns. It's a growing company and I could tell that they are busy with several projects, however, I never felt neglected or left out of the loop, and the work was completed at a very efficient pace. He has a great attention to detail and quality and I felt confident that things were getting done the right way. My dad is a home builder/carpenter and I admittedly have high standards, and these guys did not disappoint. (My dad approves of the job, too!)
The subcontractors by and large did great work as well. Any minor issues needing attention or touch up were addressed efficiently. We experienced only one big 'hiccup' with the project, due to an incorrect order placed by the tile supplier that resulted in the wrong color of grout being installed. KCHS worked to address the mistake and find a resolution that was favorable to us, and I always felt like they were in our corner when there was some push back from the supplier. In the end the grout was stained the darker color we had initially chosen, and it looks great.
Our top priority for finishing our basement was to give it the look and feel of the main level of our home. We have a lot of nice trim work and finishes that I wanted to replicate as closely as possibly downstairs. We envisioned this as more of an expansion of our home vs. just 'extra' room or a rec room tucked away in the basement. KC Home Solutions went above and beyond to make sure our vision was achieved. We've hosted some get-togethers since completion and several people have commented on how nice the trim and other details look downstairs. We are beyond happy with how it turned out! I would definitely recommend KC Home solutions and we very likely will hire them again in the coming years for future remodeling projects in our home.
"Thanks for the review [name removed]. Look forward to starting the next project with you!"
