"Bruce did a great job!  He had excellent communication skills and showed up when promised.  He had to do some extra framing to size my 100 year old doors down to standard door size, and the work is just beautiful.  He paid close attention to the rest of the doors in the house and was able to duplicate the look.  Once we do the finishing work (not part of the contract, I generally do my own painting), it will look absolutely original.  It's obvious that Bruce takes a great deal of pride in his work and I look forward to working with him again.

"Al was very knowledgeable about what to look for regarding damages the insurance company had not allowed for, and Al worked that through with the insurance company, to make sure we had what was needed. Before he began, Al went to extra lengths to make sure the dust and dirt from the demo did not affect any other part of the building. He had all the workers there in a timely fashion, all of whom he made certain to introduce to us before they began their work. Every one, without exception were professional and timely. The repair looks just like the original building area, inside and out! It's really nice to work with someone who is professional and friendly, and offers such amazing results. We have had Al help with several remodels and building projects, and will not consider another option for the next building project, whether new build or repair!"

"Gary Kimberlin's team did a great job for us with a series of small projects which were too big for a handyman, but apparently too small for most contractors. Most of the general contractors we contacted through Angie's List never never got back to us, but Gary treated us as valued customers from the start. Gary himself contacted us to provide a bid, and his responsiveness was exceptional. He spent about an hour with us taking measurements and discussing what we wanted to accomplish. Maybe we could have found a cheaper bid out there somewhere, but we were pleased with the punctuality and quality of the work, so I don't regret a cent that we spent. We had a series of small tasks which Gary's team performed over a couple of days. They arrived and departed when they said they would. First, they installed roll insulation in the crawl space under our living room. Rather than stapling the insulation in place, they recommended a slightly more expensive hanging system which allows the insulation to be removed and then put back without damaging it. Since additional remodeling is always a possibility, we appreciated the foresight on this issue. Second, we had planned to install a skylight in the living room, but Gary suggested can lighting instead, and I'm glad he did. Any time you punch a hole in the roof, it could leak, no matter how well you seal the edges. Can lighting was less expensive and created no possibility of leaks. We weren't happy with the first set of can lights Gary's team installed. Without complaint, Gary's team uninstalled them and replaced them with lights that we could swivel to highlight our artwork on the wall. We appreciated the team's flexibility and good attitude about the change. Third, the most complex portion of the job was repairing a wall and floor that had been damaged with pet urine. Gary's team removed the damaged baseboard, cut away the damaged carpet and pad, repainted the wall, and installed a new baseboard. This left a hole in the carpet which we covered with a throw rug, which was the solution of our choice. The repairs to the wall are seamless -- you'd never know the work had been done. Gary didn't press us to replace the whole carpet, which we weren't ready to do because our beloved older pet was still with us. The solution worked -- the smell is gone, and we didn't spend more than we wanted to. We'll complete that remodel another day. Last but not least, Gary's team did a thorough job cleaning and repairing the gutters. Small sections of guttering had come loose, which they refastened to the roofline. The one part of the remodel that didn't go as I had hoped pertained to a roofing issue. We had a gap in the soffit panels under the eaves. We had been concerned that a squirrel could climb through the hole and nest under the roof. Gary's team assessed the roofline and said that the hole in the soffit didn't communicate through to the attic, as far as they could tell, so the squirrels couldn't use it as a gateway. Unfortunately, that conclusion turned out to be incorrect. Six months later, we had to pay a wildlife control company to get squirrels out of our attic. The animal control team determined that the entry point was the hole in the soffit and installed a sheet metal cover for it. While the squirrel removal and roof repair were expensive, I don't fault Gary's team for mis-diagnosing the issue. Two other contractors/handymen had previously looked at the same problem and reached the same conclusion as Gary did, so obviously it was tricky. (We had had squirrels under the roof in a previous home, so I was concerned about this issue.) We look forward to work with Gary Kimberlin Construction again on a future remodel."

"Our basement had flooded. Randy had done work for us before. Randy and his team did an AWESOME job finishing our basement. They put up drywall, painted, put down flooring, and put the bathroom back together. They were all professional, dependable, and on time. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We would definitely use them again!"
