Sterner & Sterner Residential Construction, Inc.

kitchen cabinet repair

Best, most solid, well built new home I’ve ever set foot in. In fairness, I waited over a year to provide this evaluation to provide honest objective commentary, to be sure my opinion did not change after living in the home for a time and after the initial excitement wore off. I'm type A when it comes to my home and large expenditures. We designed a handicapped accessible country home where we hope to spend the rest of our lives. Kevin Sterner took that design and exceeded our high expectations, providing us with a home we will be comfortable in and can be proud of. I regularly viewed every aspect of the build process and was impressed with his techniques and all that went under the skin for a solid build. I did significant research on building and construction standards and found him to meet those that couldn’t be exceeded and exceed those that could be. Our cabinet and kitchen subcontractors commented on how square the rooms are and how easy it was to install cabinetry. They recalled a previous project they did for him with similar quality and noted his work was unique in that regard. ALL other subcontractors commented similarly on Kevin's high standards and quality, many having seen other projects of his. It was gratifying to hear this from high-end subcontractors most of whom we selected. Advice to those considering a project.... DO: - expect to pay a bit more than your average contractor. - expect to get top quality from an honest, up-front contractor. - expect to have a product you'll likely be happy with 50 years later. DON'T: - expect to get schmoozed just to get the contract. Kevin is straight forward, no-nonsense. - ask him to compromise on building standards. - expect him to build a custom home in three months.

The best quality work I have ever had done in my home. I am a very detail oriented and hard to please person. I could not find one single flaw in Kevin's work (and believe me I looked hard)! All joints were perfectly cut. Best trim work I have ever seen. Kevin is a true craftsman. You get what you pay for. I have hired over a dozen people over the past 25 years and Kevin has done the best work by a large margin. I won't hire anybody else for future projects.

The job was completed. When I got the bill and called about not being notified of the tremendous price increase I was told that I should have known the price would be more than the original quote. I responded that I thought it would be but not 2500 more. After all I'm not a carpenter and have no idea what things cost. This business has done work for me in the past and that is why I hired them They were a little more pricey than othersbut I gave them the business anyway. Ended on a very bad note. I will never reccomend them to anyone again as I feel a huge lack of professionalism occurred here. The carpenter told me what the materials cost and after figuring it out the two were making 100 dollars an hour for 2 and a half days. The job was completed and believe me there was nothing fancy about it. I guess the time also included their lunch break.

Kevin Sterner and his brother did excellent work for us. They removed a single entry door, widened the space, installed an entry door with double side lights, new electrical work for porch lights, barn beams (from an 1800's barn) for decorative purposes in the family room (cathedral ceiling). They are very professional, extremely clean, prompt, and personable. | |Our house was broken into about a year after they installed the new front door (to no fault of theirs). The criminals smashed out the door glass with a large rock. We immediately called Kevin to come out and replace the entire door unit as we felt we needed a more secure entry door. He returned, did a wonderful job on the replacement and only had trouble removing the entry door unit he originally installed because the work was done so well it should have lasted for centuries! The Sterner and Sterner team replaced this door unit with the same professionalism, quality, cleanliness, and timeliness. He was also very understanding and supportive of our situation and reassured us with the new door unit install. | |Sterner and Sterner is an honest company, owned and operated by dedicated, honest Christians who truly have the best interested of their clients at heart. We received several estimates that ranges all over the board and Sterner and Sterner was somewhere in the middle. I wouldn't hesitate to hire this team again.
