"Very satisfied with the replacement and repair of the rotted wood on the porch columns. The work was done professionally and the finished result matched the original structure."

"Amazing craftsmanship and quality work. I highly recommend Bill for any of your handyman needs. We we're selling our house and needed him to touch-up some items and he knocked it out of the park for a very reasonable price. Bill was always on time and was very trustworthy. Look no further for your handyman needs!"

"I highly recommend John Krause Construction to anybody in need of any level of
home renovation/remodel. They did a wonderful job on my most recent Home
rehab. We started this project on 1/11/16 with a 60 day deadline and they
finished the project in 54 days and stayed on budget. JKC's employees were
courteous and professional making them a pleasure to deal with. All of the
workers were very knowledgeable of their trades and did top quality work and
left the job site clean after each day. In the business of flipping homes, it
is very important to be able to get these jobs done fast and on budget and JKC
was able to do both without sacrificing any quality of the finished product
making them an ideal contractor for use in my line of work and for anybody
looking to do a remodel project at their home.

"Most pleased. Would definitely hire again. Needed carpenter to build a footbridge using repurposed wood, install insect screen under raised screen-in porch, install oak handrails, fix the threshold to our front door, and add shoe molding in basement. JW (owner) was pleasant, professional, and thorough when he came out to give an estimate. He listened to what we wanted done and suggested ways to make it work. Scheduling was a breeze. A team of two came out to complete our projects. Of course temperatures were in the 90s, but they worked nonstop. Pedro (crew chief) built our footbridge based only on description. The results were amazing. It's sturdy, attractive, and durable. Kudos for great work. Other projects were completed within the timeframe with Kevin working on the screen and railings with assistance from Pedro. The crew was timely, professional, courteous. They cleaned up at the end of each day. All work was completed within 4 days. There was only a minor issue with the oak hand rails (needed additional sanding) -- which was remedied quickly after review of the project manager, Bob. JW was a tad more expensive that other bids, but in the end, well worth the price. Glad we went with them."

"Justin did an outstanding job on removing the old shower with great care and professionalize. He did an outstanding job on the build out of the new shower. He subcontracted the tile work out to a great tile craftsman but not the cleanest craftsman. They blow tile dust all over our basement but the tile job was good. However, once the dust all over the place was brought to Justin attention, he personally clean and paid for a cleaning service to clean our basement.

"Steve and his crew -- Shawn and Bruce -- did an exceptional job remodeling my kitchen. I had my original 1994 oak cabinets and builder-grade floor/countertops/sink replaced with quartz counters and porcelain tile floor and the cabinets were refaced with new color and doors. I am very happy with the quality of the work and how the remodel changed the entire look of my kitchen. The crew was very professional and meticulous in finishing all work."

"Joe Zouine, was our designer and worked closely with us to be sure that we were making the most of the space we had in our kitchen. He asked great questions and we were able to get the project off the ground in a matter of weeks, from the time of the design and contract to actual start of the project. The project began on schedule and the demo of the old kitchen was complete in about 3 hours! The completion of the new kitchen took a good bit longer than anticipated due to some miscommunication with regard to where the permits were to be obtained, but the finished product is amazing. For the most part, we couldn’t have asked for better communication from VKB. At the end of every work day, the Project Manager called me to ask if we had any concerns, if the workers arrived on time and asked approximately when they wrapped up for the day. At the end of those daily conversations, we were asked if the workers were polite, took precautions so as not to cause any more disruption to my daily routine as necessary, and that they cleaned up behind themselves at the end of the day. We were always happy to report that they indeed did as they were instructed and I was also told at what time to expect the workers the next day. The Project: • Demolished the old kitchen and hauled it away • Moved my current refrigerator to my garage and got rid of the old refrigerator that had been in the garage prior to the project. • Moved the range (which was new and was being kept) to the garage with the new appliances • Removed the wall between the dining room and kitchen area and the half wall between the kitchen and breakfast room. • The wall between the dining room and kitchen was found to be load bearing and required the installation of a support header. One was installed according to PG County specs. The City of Laurel specs, however, were a bit more stringent and required a much larger and differently placed header. The header was ordered and was installed properly and to code. • Removed drywall from the exterior facing wall in the kitchen, and installed much better insulation, vapor barrier, and used heavier drywall materials in order to make sure that the kitchen was sufficiently insulated. The insulation that was there was not nearly sufficient. • They reworked the vaulted ceiling in the dining room so that the ceiling fixture could be located to the center of the ceiling instead to one side as the builders had placed it. It had always bothered me and figured while we were making a huge mess, we’d take care of that too. Now the ceiling medallion fits perfectly. • They replaced all of the baseboards and painted same. They also painted the walls, window trim, and ceilings. • Removed the old flooring, leveled the floors where they were not level and installed the new flooring. Originally we’d wanted to get large plank tiles for the kitchen (extending into the dining room and breakfast room), but was advised that, since our house is on a crawl space, the tile would be very cold and we’d probably feel it through out shoes. We went with something that had the same appearance, but was much better insulating material. This conversation saved us from an extremely cold floor and saved money. • The recessed lighting, dimmers, lighting fixtures and electrical outlets were installed. Our job required a completely new (much larger) electrical panel. The expense was expected since we were adding a few additional items for future projects and wanted to make sure that the GFI outlets were placed correctly. This was also an added complication because of being located in the City of Laurel. The building codes are different from county to county and even areas within a county. There was a little confusion about this, but they worked through the difficulties and made it right. • The cabinetry was finally installed and it was beautiful. When they unpacked the new refrigerator, we noticed that it sat out much further into the room then we expected. We all scratched our heads for a bit and came up with a fix for the problem. It was an added expense, but it wasn’t the fault of VKB. We measured the width and height of the new larger refrigerator, but never imagined that it would be THAT much deeper than the old refrigerator. Boy, were we wrong! We had the cabinets on the refrigerator side of the kitchen, uninstalled and pulled forward, flush with the wall, so that the refrigerator fit much better. They even moved the water line for the ice maker way over in the corner of the refrigerator space so that the refrigerator could go back a couple of inches. • They installed the new microwave and placed the existing range back in place, a more powerful disposal, and an Instant Hot. • The granite was installed over the kitchen counters and coffee bar as was the glass tile back splash. A couple of items need adjustments and those items were taken care of as requested. • The vertical dividers for my baking sheets, which went in the cabinet over my refrigerator, took many weeks to come in, but they were definitely worth the wait. • We have changed out the plain glass panels from the kitchen cabinets for ones with a “rain” texture. The plain glass constantly needed to have finger prints removed. The textured glass will also require cleaning of course, but the day-to-day smudges are not nearly so apparent. We love our new kitchen and are looking forward to working with VKB on as many as three additional projects, master bath, guest bath and powder room. VKB may not be the least expensive renovation specialist, but we can say that we got out money’s worth, otherwise, why would we consider hiring them for additional projects in our home. We’ve included a number of pictures of the kitchen before and after the renovation. As you can see from the before and after pictures, it was quite an amazing transformation."

"Faustino power washed the brick front and aluminum siding of my home and his work was simply outstanding. I was only expecting him to do the front and both sides, but he ended up doing the back of my home as well, without my asking. It took all day and it wasn't easy doing it single-handedly, but we couldn't be happier. HIGHLY recommend!"

"Sydney and the rest of the crew were great to work with and did a great job. We had custom shelving installed in two closets with bifold doors installed on one of them. Other closet companies said they couldn’t do the closets exactly like we wanted and also said they wouldn’t put on a door. Sydney was 100% on board with our vision. He worked with us in terms of our budget and was very responsive throughout. The crew did a great job with the custom cuts, installation, and clean up. And they were fast and efficient, too."
