Kaminski Construction LLC

It went well. Matt was the estimator and point of contact. He was very easy to work with, professional, and responsive. Thanks!

We would never use them again or recommend them to anyone. He hires cheap untrained labor that can't do quality work and when you try to communicate the information to Jason he will not respond. He has a project coordinator and what you discuss with Jason or Chris doesn't go to the other. And if Jason makes a list of things because Chris isn't available, Chris will no nothing about it when he comes back. We had to check on our house every evenining to pull light fixtures that were new and needed installed out of the garbage along with many other things. His team would throw anything and everything away including a check paid to the contractor for 20,000 that his own people buried under garbage for months. When I realized things were completely out of control and couldn't get Jason or his project cordinator to follow up, I started putting notes on things things that were poor quality needing fixed for his crew. His team would rip them down daily wad them up and throw them on the floor. Here are just a couple examples: The trim in the kitchen was put in with no transition from the carpet to the plank vinyl flooring leaving a gap. Notes I posted to put in a transition were taken off and thrown away daily. In the evening I pulled them out of the garbage unwadded them and put them back. When Jason himself came in for another reason, I pointed this out to him. His fix was to fill it with caulking. And this was after I requested a specific type of trim that no one could remember so after the project was overdue and we had no place to live, you take what you can get just to get rid of them because they don't care. One of the many notes was a request to install a handrail on left side of the staircase it was posted right in the place they had to work to install the hand rail. They installed it on the right side and the note was on the floor wrinkled up. I took pictures of all of it, including the wrinkled up before and after notes. A pocket door installation was 2 inches off and wouldn't close appropriately, they had to be convinced it was faulty. And then they offered credit vs fixing it. We asked it be fixed and while the door shuts, the botched 3rd world paint job that was part of their "fix" is horendous. Another example: They had a painter installing electrical outlet covers and connected wires. I came home turned on a switch and the sparks flew and the power went off to that whole side of the kitchen. A week later they finally called the electrician in to fix it. These guys are calous and uncaring that they couldn't even go out of their way for a simple water line repair that needed fixed. They told us the plumber didn't have time to fix it. When my mother in law died and we had family coming in from washington with little means and needed a place to stay, I asked Jason if he could expedite the water line so they could sleep on the floor and use the bathroom and wash their hands. Jason told us no. Later the plumber told us that he was ready and available to fix the water line but Jason and his team told him not to. Jason's team used it as a means to keep us out of the house so they could have access to work at their own schedule. The only people I know that cold blooded take drugs. One night I came to check on the house and the property, not empty but also used for storage of our personal things in back rooms, was unsecure and the doors not on nothing boarded up and no one around. Another example: The flooring they installed had gravel under it and now needs replaced. The sheetrocked walls were not straight and you could see the waves in it. The painting was so poor quality that we have a mess to have fixed there. Asking them to fix it made the quality even worse. I could upload pictures that would blow your mind. But that isn't an option here. Anything his team puts in for finishing that doesn't fit, they caulk it and only some of it. And only some of that gets covered with paint. I could literally write a book. My recommendation, save your self some anxiety meds and hire someone else. We learned the hard way. On a side note: The electrician was a very nice person and really worked with us and stayed neutral in all the chaos.

My husband and I needed to help his mom sell her house in Springfield. We live in Sweet Home an hour away so we asked our realtor for recommendations on who could help us get the house ready to be put on the market. My husband is disabled and I work full time. She gave us several names but we chose Kaminski Construction because they offered to do several different tasks we needed done: repair, lawn care and house cleaning. Their bid to us came promptly and they said they could get the work done within a week so we were initially very happy with them. It was downhill from there, however. My husband and I stopped by the house to inspect the work on a visit we made to his mom and we noticed several things. The yard had been worked on but still looked shabby with unpulled weeds and sloppy edging. Inside the carpets had been cleaned but you could see where the furniture had been. The garage was untouched and smelled. It just didn't seem ready to show but we did not know what we should expect for the money we were paying. We asked our realtor to go by and evaluate the work. She was appalled by the shoddy workmanship on all tasks except for the fence repair. The house flat out had not been cleaned - cobwebs everywhere, drawers and shelving untouched, floors not cleaned, etc. She agreed totally about the yard and caught other routine things that were not done. She called Jason, the owner, and asked him to meet her at the house. He did not return her call. We emailed him and asked him to meet our realtor at the house. He did not respond to our email. At that point we were advised to sever our relationship to this company and our realtor went to work to get new bids to clean the house and the yard. Without ever meeting with our realtor, Jason did send out crews to try to do some of the things they did not do before. Their efforts were too little too late. To this date we have never heard from this company or received any explanation for the poor workmanship. All we have gotten were two invoices for the work. I would not recommend them to anyone ESPECIALLY because they did not have the courtesy to respond to any concerns. They want to take your money and run! Eugene buyers - beware and find another company to help you with selling your house. They get a D only because of the speed of their initial estimate and the fence repair.

It was very easy to schedule with him. All the people that work for him were really great. They were nice to work with and they did what they were supposed to.

I had a general contractor. He was prompt. The contractors he had working with him were good. Several of the contractors I’ve continued with for some things I had come up later. It wasn’t anything to do with Jason’s job. It was an older home remodeling and there were some things that didn’t show and tell after I lived in the house for a while. I didn’t want any smoking in my house. I still have to pick up the cigarettes around the place. When you have a whole bunch of people coming through, it was always kind of a hard one to handle on. There were a couple of things that came up that I would like to be a little different. For the most part, I was happy with what was going on. I found Kaminski through a friend who had experience with them.

Jason was extremely responsive to my initial contact. He gave a very reasonable estimate considering the extend of the work required, both he and his team were timely for all appointments. Very impressively, they finished the project ahead of schedule, even on a tight schedule. Both myself and my realtor were very impressed. I have already recommended Kaminski to two friends looking for a contractor to do a list of small projects.

We were very happy with their work and would definitely hire them again.

The Bank that we bought this house from used them. I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. We were left with their work. They put on a brand new roof, and it cost $1500 to get all the defects in a brand new roof fixed. The most egregious thing was that there were bathroom vents that exhausted through the roof when they started - they just roofed over them. Building Permit is required in Lyn County for replacing a roof when you put on new sheeting: they didn't get a Permit. This was a foreclosure property and the work was done at the behest of the Bank. So when we asked for the Permit we were told they didn't have it. We had the whole house inspection done, which is when the issues with the roof came up. I am an architect and I looked at the roof. I could tell right away that it had problems. What they put on in terms of the roof, the manufacturer of the product would not stand behind their product, they voided their warranty. They also did some interior patching and painting and the original walls were painted flat, and all of the patches that they did and were repainted they painted with satin semi-glass, so they stand out like a sore thumb.

Paid for a new fence and had to make them come back out and replace the worn posts left in, They didn't level the ground under the fence they raised the fence over the humps so that looks odd. It also makes it easier for the dog to dig out. The painter left paint splatter on everything. Now Jason said I was being nit picky but would you oput switch plates up dirty after painting? they forgot to hsng some fixtures and the sliding glass door still doesn't work or look right. I wish we had the money to hire someone to fix and redo but his 50.00 a hour took the budget so it was up to us to do what we could.

The job was started a few days earlier than projected and finished several days before the deadline we had given them. The workmen worked hard, were very skilled, and detail oriented. It was obvious that they knew what they were doing and took pride in doing it right. There were many little projects along with the larger one and they took care of each efficiently. This was a very professional operation! We are very pleased. I have worked with quite a few handymen, carpenters, etc over the years and I can honestly say that not one of them could have done the job that Kaminski Construction did for us.

He did a good job, I felt so bad for him because he was just spending so many hours of his free time just hanging a door since it wasn't on a work day. He was a nice guy, he did a great job.

They are just wonderful. Jason is the owner. They know what they are doing. You can have complete trust. They are so honest and I had actually provided them the keys. They could come and go at their convenience because I am not living there. It is nice when you can trust somebody that much. They are affordable and they let you know before. They haven't finished all the work. They are doing a beautiful job. They just get right into it. I just spoke to Jason today. He is waiting for the weather to get a little nice to do the other jobs. The electrician who did the breaker box yesterday pointed out some issue. So Jason will have to do that as well. He will look at that and let me know how much more that was going to cost. They were here at 7 this morning; they are punctual.
