WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“We decided to have Klever and his team back to help with our kitchen remodeling, and are very happy we did. Klever stayed on top of the permit process, and ensured the electrician and plumber were lined up to do their work. Klever scheduled inspections and was on site to make sure any concerns were addressed so that the permits could be closed. The team worked efficiently to make sure everything was installed as quickly as possible, and followed the drawings exactly. The work included taking down a wall, installing cabinets, new ceiling and pendant lights, and moving the appliances around. They taped off sections so that my family could be comfortable during the construction phase with no dust flying around. We felt very comfortable and confident things were progressing well with the KDC team.
We also asked Klever to paint the walls / doors and the team went above and beyond, including fixing cracks, sealing the doors, and installing wall bumpers. He noticed we had water leaking in from the windows and installed a sloped ledge outside so that any rainfall would flow down instead of coming into the house. They also cleaned the gutters while they were at it! They truly look at a job holistically so that there are no issues in the future.
Klever was also very transparent about the pricing and cost. He noted the issues up front so that we weren’t surprised by additional costs at the end of the project.
Klever and his team really made the whole process as stress-free as possible. Thanks again for a great experience!”
