Kelly Construction Company

At the end of a  very warm June 2011 our first floor water heater busted when we were not at the cottage.  The water pump was not turned off, and therefore, the water tank just kept making hot water.  A friend who checks on the cottage periodically walked into this disaster.  The first week we had a contractor that we were unhappy with and then called Kelly Construction.  Mike Kelly the owner took the "bull by the horns" so to speak and charged ahead.  Most of the repairs were covered by insurance, but we had extra work that needed to be done which came to $9,500.  Total job was about $36,000.  They did a fabulous job in reconstructing ¾ of the inside of our cottage.  There was water, mold and warping damage to floors, subfloors, paneling, doors, walls, ceilings and cupboards bathroom and kitchen.  In the crawl space the support beams had mainly mold damage and the insullation had water damage.  Carpeting and linoleum were ruined and needed replacing.  The cottage needed to be repainted ceiling to floor.  Mike pointed out some structure issues:  front house beam and bathroom floor supports which we had him fix correctly;  front doorwall was leaking at the floor rotting the floorboards; large picture window was leaking in water; and there were issues in the attic which we had his company handle.  (These were some of the out-of-pocket costs.)  Mike explained what had to be done and how it was going to be fixed.  Mike Kelly handled the demolision and reconstruction as if it were his own cottage.  He was terrific.  He had a pleasant and caring manner.  He went above and beyond the duties of a contractor to make sure everything was done correctly and to our satisfaction.  There were a few minor issues and he came back and fixed them until they met with our satisfaction.  He stands by his work.
