I felt like he was fishing to see how much he could get out of me. He was here almost two hours. The cost of $500 per day was a great deal money for a small bathroom. The price does not include tile around the bathtub and shower area. His price includes the tile on the floor only.
Description of Work: I received a quote from K C E & B in August. The quote was for a shower tub surround over the tile, ceramic floors, a small area behind the sink and vanity, the paint and the fixtures. He said his labor was $500 per day because I purchased all of the supplies. He couldn't tell me how many days it would take.

Response from K C E & B
The member had a previous contractor that had begun the work. The place was a mess. She had the materials. I was not fishing for a price. I was unsure of what she was looking for in the finishing of the job.

I was so impressed with Elvin and Keith. They were here every day until the job was finished.They put tarpes down and cleaned up every day when they were finished.I could not be more happier how the end result turned out. They made sure everything was done to perfection. I was lucky to have found them, and had no problem leaving them in my house when I was at work. I cannot wait until my next project with them!

Obviously we liked them a lot, otherwise we would not have used them again. We originally found them on Angie's List when we were looking for contractors to refinish our upstairs hall bath. We feel that the quality of their work is very high. They are very neat and take a lot of effort in leaving the work area as clean and neat as possible when they leave each night. I believe they pretty much only ever work on one job at a time which is very nice. I also think that they price they charge for their services is very fair. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: K C E & B (partners Keith and Elvin) just completed a second project for us, installing a new kitchen floor as well as some drywall work in the kitchen. They removed the existing limoleum as well as the existing subfloor and prepared the floor for a new subfloor using floor leveler, etc. They installed the new subfloor as well as new flooring that we had previously purchased, along with new moldings in our breakfast area and quarter-round throughout the kitchen. In addition, they removed portions of a wall that we needed removed in order to fix some plumbing, then replaced it with new drywall. They also taped and spackled other drywall that we had previously installed but had not yet finished. Last spring, they refinished our upstairs bath. We had already gutted the room, but they installed a cast-iron bath tub, installed subway tile on the walls, throughout the bath/shower area and tiled the floor.

the job took several hours and the floor was nice and level and even when completed.
Description of Work: Elvin came out and leveled a subfloor for a new floor I was putting in myself. The subfloor was very uneven and Elvin did an excellent job of evening out the floor. I would defenitly use him and KCE&B again.

He was very professional, observant with what needed to be done, and extremely detail oriented. He made it clear to me that he specializes in installing cabinets for kitchens. He recommended that I use a different contractor for the spackling and painting. He subcontracts for plumbers and electrical work. The price of the plumber was very reasonable, $500.00. Everyone I spoke with were very well spoken and had good communication. I felt very comfortable with the contractor and really liked his sense of humor. If I don't find someone else, I will use them as I really liked how detail oriented, neat, observant, and comforting he was. I just wish that he could negotiate a more reasonable price with me, as I had several problems from the previous contractor that I had hired.
Description of Work: I contacted them regarding remodeling my kitchen. They provided an estimate for me.

I remodeled my kitchen and had Keith and Elvin do the labor. The labor only costs for Keith and Elvin were about $12,000 (plus about 3K in electrical costs for the kitchen and some bathroom lighting, which I paid directly to the electrician). The major work included in their labor cost was removing all of the cabinets, installing all of the new cabinets (about 15 total and dealing w/ an older home and non-straight walls), making a new soffit for the top of the cabinets and tieing it all in, removing the tile floor and laying down a new wood floor, removing backsplash wall tile and putting up new backsplash tiling, installing microwave and venting the microwave to the outside, installing dishwasher. They stuck with the job until it was done, and then they moved on to another job. So it was done quickly. They were very patient with my indecisions about a couple of items and help to me in many other ways. I can't say enough good things about them. I use them for any project I have to do in my house!
Description of Work: KCE&B is run by 2 men - Elvin Brantley and Keith Christman. They specialize in kitchens and baths, but do other inside home construction projects - like tiling, putting in doors, windows, drywalling, some plumbing. They are an incredible team. They answer their own phones, show up on time, return calls promptly and are very polite, neat, honest and professional in addition to being really nice people. Their fees are very fair and I have no complaints about any of their charges. They also do the vast majority of the work on their own, thus eliminating the middlemen. When they have to get another person involved - for example an electrician in my case for a kitchen remodel - the homeowner contracts and pays the outside person directly. I really appreciate the fact that they work consistently on one job until it is done and then move on to another one. I have had other contracters who try to juggle several jobs at one time and it takes forever to get the job completed. This was a completely different experience. I have done several projects with them, the biggest was a kitchen remodel which was finished last fall.

The partnership of Elvin Brantley and Keith Christman have done previous remodels of our kitchen and hall bathroom since 2004 and we are well acquainted with their work, professionalism, courtesy and honesty. They work on your job daily and don't try to balance a number of major jobs at the same time. They work diligently and perform duties above and beyond the scope of their job like picking up plumbing and tile orders. They began the work when they said they would; Elvin did the bulk of the job given the small size of the bathroom; Keith joined him when needed. Everything that was in the contract was performed as written. Change orders were discussed promptly. Little extras were given, such as special waterproof material for the window sill. We trust these guys and did not hesitate to give them a set of keys so they could come in and out of the house as needed.
Description of Work: Removed everything in bathroom; gutted structure to studs, ceiling and floor. Installed subfloor, drywall to walls and ceiling and backerboard around tub. Insulated and built-out exterior wall. Adapted window and door to new space; retrim as necessary. Built shelf enclosure for tub. Interacted with subcontractors (plumber, electrician, tile installer) selected by the owner.
