Koch Contracting

.

Rick turned out to be the perfect person for the job.  He and his son work together on one job at a time.  I appreciated their consistent work habits and regular, reliable schedule.  They transformed a run down cement block four room porchless bungalow into a beautiful country cottage.  He was able to lead me to beautiful materials, acquired locally, including:  oak interior trim, and oak interior doors, cedar porch posts and cedar tongue and groove ceiling (all finished in a natural finish by Koch Contracting), fiberglass exterior doors, exposed aggregate porch slabs, a floating laminate ‘wood’ floor atop the slab, resilient laminate ‘tile’ flooring in the bathroom and utility room, new bathroom cabinetry, acrylic resin bathroom sink, one-piece ADA shower/bath, and solid surface acrylic kitchen countertop, architectural shingles, vinyl soffit, new gutters and downspouts, etc.  Warmth was added to the cement block house by Rick and Rick Jr. laying up a rustic brick hearth and brick interior wall with offset oak mantle to allow for the woodstove. They were able to salvage and refinish the original wood kitchen cabinets and modify them to fit the new layout…stunning. Willing to entertain unconventional ideas, offer welcome creative input to the planning process and interpret my dreams into reality, Rick was always straight forward about whether or not he had the particular skills needed to do what the job required.  Because of this there are three parts of the job, not included in the above description or pricing, that are being installed by other contractors: a new masonry flue and chimney, the EIS stucco and the geothermal heating system.  Rick communicates professionally with other contractors to assure his part is ready for their add-ons. I feel so comfortable in my transformed country cottage, the product of earnest, reliable, careful, hard work by Koch Contracting.  I appreciate the fine craftsmanship, professional and positive attitude.  Over the course of the project, each day I saw exciting progress and was able to have confidence in the high value I was getting for the time and materials cost.   (At this time, I don’t have a way to take or post digital photos, but will try to add later.)
