The project was completed almost to the day estimated. All workers involved were punctual, professional and nice. There were of course bumps along the way in the 4 months they were at our home but they were all addressed timely and to our expectations. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for and I feel very happy with our new home and would recommend Kuhn to friends and family.

Assigned to Chip for both projects.  Excellent plumber for bathroom, Prompt and stuck to schedule.  Clean up excellent.  Work on siding given nice finishing touches so that future leaks would not occur.  Attention to task and reliability.  Sound, sturdy construction and knowledgeable plumbers and carpenters.  Recommend them and would use again.  Just make sure you are clear from start about what you want done.  Great followup from Kuhn afterward.  When I saw all the recent reviews, I felt I better let people know my good experience.

The electrician was very professional and knew his craft. If he saw something that wasn't right, he let me know. He was a jack of all trades, as he noticed my shutters hanging off. He went ahead and put the shutters on better than they were originally.  Their pricing was fair.

Horrible. The corner shelves ordered don't fit. The corner seat bench you would have had to stand on it to take a shower
the shower doors were slide doors should be hinged and the vanity was damaged. The sink holes for the faucet
were to be one unit and were cut for hot, cold and center. So nothing came out as ordered or planned.
The came to measure and changed things claiming they received a verbal okay but they never did. They originally
were to come 9/22 and I took a weeks vacation. Called me 9/18 and cancelled because the vanity wasn't coming in til 9/24 .
Couldn't re-arrange my vacation as it was to late of a notice and not that it mattered to them anyway.
Unfortunately, now we have 1/2 bathroom done and the other half wrong. Shelving and seat should have been advised
when planned with sizes known to sales people and planner.. And on top of all this they are annoyed with us....
Resolution to all this in unresolved right now. Now it comes down to changing and waiting and making more of a mess
and not really getting what I originally wanted. I should have left the bathroom the way it was and never went with
Kuhn....

Made an appointment to have an estimate done to remodel the bathroom. Representive called and said they would be approximately 15 minutes late. 40 Minutes later the representive arrives takes measurements of the bathroom and takes notes about the work to be completed. I requested a written estimate which the representative said he would provide within a few days to a week and never heard from him again.

They are very good. They did the work for me a few times. There was nothing that they could have improved on. They were wonderful, clean, and courteous. I thought they were great. The price is very fair and excellent. I couldn't have asked for more.

from inside the house looking out it looked find. upon closer look, seams were a mess, some bricks were cut raged against house. The space between brick and house was only sealed on one corner. They used sand, which I later found out is not the best thing.

someone did come to try and clean up the cement in the seams, but really couldn't be done.

Kuhn is a construction company, which I understand does good work as a construction company. The only thing I used them for was for mason work, which was not done very well. The railing seems to be fine.

I placed a call to ascertain the availability of scheduling an appointment to repair damage to my house as a result of a busted pipe. The gentlemen Rob (who didn't want to provide his name at first) wanted a ton of (personal) information from me before providing the availability of an initial appointment and whether or not they would be available to begin the work within the next week or two.
Based on the brief conversation I didn't and wouldn't suggest you deal with this company. If getting clear and concise answers to these basic questions is so difficult, how in the world could you expect the renovation project to go smoothly.

From the very begining the Owner, Jeff wanted to know what what our budget was. How much we were willing to spend.
Our initial visit was in his office. He told us his designer Lynn would come over take measurement and give us a design that would be functionable and fit our budget which was about $45, 000
He said the way his payments are collected are done by stages of completed work. Unfortunately for the consumer you are shelling out a lot of money while the work is dragging. It took months just to decide on a plan for the kitchen. The designer wanted to change the configuration of our deck which would of raised our cost production. We were told the combined jobs would take a few months so by July 2010 it would be completed. We shook hands in February 2010.The job did not go as planned as they had to come back numerous times and fix plumbing and painting issues. We were told he didn't use sub contractors but it seems that's what he uses because we saw many different men.
They also damaged appliances and an outside walkway. I do have numerous photo's saved as the job progressed. It's been awhile now so every detail on what we went through are lost but overall I would not recommend them to anyone. Even today as I write this I am waiting to hear back from them because we have discovered a major leak under the kitchen sink. The leak is severe and because it's over a dry slab went unnoticed for a long time. Our water company had sent us a letter month's ago advising us that our water usage had almost doulbed. I have since gotten NARI involved to mediate this situation but we are still without a kithen sink two months later. They also used a bleach solution to cover a back outside wall which had mold on it and put new sheetrock over that. We didn't know at the time that it's not how it's done according to industry standards.
At the end of the Job while going throgh the final punch list I told jeff that there were a few cosmetic things we weren't happy about. We still owed a $1,000. He said he would try to fix it. We shook hands he left and he never came back again. he had then sent an email stating that we were very difficult to please and that we could keep the thousand dollars. We had and still have real issues with this company.

Had John out to the house for an estimate of a Kitchen remodel. Spent an hour took measurements. Discussed our job. Never heard back from them. A month went by and I called the office and explained that we never heard back from them . Was told they would get back to us. another month went by no return call. Moving On.

Unfortunately i cant say how the job went because the company has never supplied an estimate of work. After a professional visit, i have never heard from them again... Very Odd...

We found everyone at their company to be super professional and really anxious to please. They worked with me to get the window I wanted, and the guys who did the install were great. Especially Tom, who did the inside trimming, did an amazing job on the new molding - he made it look perfect, despite the challenges of the wall he had to work with. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience - the estimator, project manager, the guys who did the work, the guy who did the cleanup, even the gal in the office who facilitated the comminication and scheduling. There wasn't a disappointment in the bunch. Definately the company to go with!

I was not that excited about them. They were okay, but there was a lot of back and forth. Some of it could be as a result of hurricane Sandy. I really feel like it has been on going and not getting resolved. Their prices are a little high. They did say that they were high end in the beginning so I cannot blame them for that. It is still on going. I would not recommend them. It is because of the lack of response time. I have a business myself and the customer is the most important thing. They were very punctual.

"We are sorry that your experience was anything less than 100%, it is hard to determine on our behalf who is actually in need of work and who is just looking for estimates to submit for insurance. Hopefully in the future you keep us in mind to help make up for any prior issues. Thanks you, Kuhn Construction"

This is a very professional company that does high end, high quality construction and design work. I was impressed from my initial phone call, it is obvious excellent customer service is important to Kuhn. Unfortunately, the rough quote we received for our small kitchen in our tiny condo was quoted at starting at $35,000. We were stunned. If you are looking for exceptional craftsmanship and great service - call Kuhn. I am calling IKEA.
Response from Kuhn Construction, Inc.

"Thank you so much for the review, and all of the wonderful things you said, we certainly take pride in our customer service. We apologize that we could not meet at a medum regarding the quote hopefully you will consider us for you next project! Thank You Again, Kuhn Construction"

Salesman was pushy, we had damage from Sandy. He wanted our insurance estimate so he knew what he could spend. He pushed for things we didn't want and were un-necessary. When we wanted undamaged cabinets re-installed he said only if they were not damaged in their removal etc. then they could be re-installed. It sounded like they WOULD find extra work for which we would pay. He couldn't understand why we wouldn't take a loan to really do a lot of improvements.

He lost the job for Kuhn.

The sales rep first provided the estimate, the general contractor then came by to verify the work needed and provided names of the crew with the date and time they would start. The crew showed up on time and worked all day the first two days of the job - the painters came back the next day to finish the painting. The majority of the job was done to perfection - just a few missed spots from the painters which had to come back.

This was all part of a larger job. We had a designer and they were sub-contracted through them so I am not sure of what the cost for just the bathroom was. They were great and all the guys were first rate and the work was good. They may be a little pricey, but they know their stuff.
