"We wanted to thank the Kavanagh Construction team again for our high quality remodels over the years. We are searching for a home in the Santa Cruz area, near the ocean and whether we look at new builds or remodels, VERY few are close to the quality of remodels that were done to our Mountain View home. Thanks again."
Ted and Marti L.
"I engaged Kavanagh Construction for a substantial residential remodel project: ~4000
sqft, down to the studs incl. new plumbing, new electrical, structural work and all new
finishes. Project duration was 18 months.
Patrick and Shane Kavanagh personally led the work and did a fantastic job. I am
impressed with the quality of finishes that Kavanagh and their subcontractors delivered,
in particular the tilers and the painters stood out. We built the house in a clean, modern
style with a European kitchen and European cabinets in the bathrooms. The required
accuracy and attention to detail was a challenge that Shane and Patrick proudly
accepted and mastered.
Patrick and Shane are really great to work with and supported my wife and me
throughout the entire process. As with any major remodel projects, unforeseen
challenges emerged that in this case required re-engaging the architect and re-
permitting. This was a quite stressful time for us. But Patrick and Shane worked through
this together with us and gave us thoughtful advice on how to navigate the situation.
I am very happy with the results that we achieved together in this remodel and
continued to work with Kavanagh Construction on other projects. I also recommended
them to work colleagues and friends."

"My wife and I have owned our Belmont home for over 35 years and we’ve done two major
remodels and many smaller projects with the team at Kavanagh Construction Company (KCC).
We wouldn’t use anyone else and recommend KCC to all our family, friends and neighbors. KCC
is a quality-focused family-owned business and we’ve worked closely with both Pat Kavanaugh,
the founder and his son Brian. There are many things that make KCC an outstanding partner for
homeowners that demand the best at a fair price. Key among them are the project
management skills, breadth of knowledge, creativity and problem-solving abilities that Pat and
Brian have consistently demonstrated. They’ve brought our projects in on-time and on-budget
many times and we are simply amazed that they can deliver such consistent results.
One of the reasons KCC can deliver is because they have an exceptional group of sub-contactors
that they’ve worked with for many years. Whether floorplan design, fine carpentry, painting,
electrical, HVAC, cabinetry, roofing, flooring, decks, kitchen appliances, you name it they have
the right people to do the job. They are flexible when our busy schedules require it and we
trust them with the security of our home when we are travelling. It’s a pleasure to be able to
write a positive review for such a conscientious and capable group of professionals."
Roger & Kandy
"From the initial meetings to the day we got the final sign-off from the city, we were extremely
happy working with Kavanagh Construction. Patrick and Brian made several valuable
suggestions that improved the design of the house and were flexible when we requested
changes. Not only were we pleased with the value provided and the quality of the work, but the
communication was excellent. Brian went above and beyond. He was available on weekends
and evenings, including a memorable late-night working with the plumber. We are delighted
with the final result and highly recommend Kavanagh Construction."
Kari and Merrill
"We bought a house in Los Altos Hills that was originally built in 1920. It had great
bones but needed major surgery on everything else. The KCC team completely
remodeled the house including foundation drainage, foundation repair, water and
sewer pipes, four bathrooms, kitchen, A/C, fireplaces, new electrical wiring, widows,
roof, floors, earthquake retrofit, pool and stonework. Everything was handled on-
schedule, fairly priced and with a positive attitude. I am a mechanical engineer and
watched all the work closely to understand how it was being done and I completely
satisfied with the quality of everything. I’ve heard so many nightmares from friends
that hired the wrong contractor. I feel lucky to have found KCC."
Howard and Junko
"I have had Kavanagh Construction manage and execute several remodeling projects on
our home since 2008. Working with Patrick, Shane and Brian has been a pleasure.
When issues arise, they’re great at explaining the options for addressing them, and will
share what they think is the best approach (I often ask what they’d do in their own
home). I’ve never bothered getting other bids as I consider myself lucky to already have
a reliable, trusted contractor on hand. Since that first project in 2008, they’ve remodeled
our entire home, garage and office and, most recently, managed the remodel of our
outdoor spaces. They also renovated the duplex where our children and grandchildren
live. The subcontractors they’ve used have been responsive, effective and pleasant to
work with. Their own crews are meticulous about leaving work spaces clean and
showing up when expected. Communication with them has been very easy and I
appreciate the ability to pay their fees on line. I highly recommend them."
