TESTIMONIALS

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
