We happen to love what we do. Call it passion. Call it maniacal obsession. Call it whatever you want. The truth is, we love nothing more than making a client?s dream home a reality. And we geek-out over the details. We know from experience that construction projects can be demanding, time-consuming, and disruptive to family life, which is why we take pride in making the process as seamless and stress-free as humanly possible. Built on a foundation of honesty, efficiency, and insanely high standards, we work in tandem with clients to accommodate tight time frames and budgets, delivering quality craftsmanship devoid of high mark-ups and completion delays. Always available to answer day-to-day questions, we pride ourselves on attention to detail, overseeing all aspects of the construction process to ensure tasks run smoothly from start to finish.

"We first hired Kyles firm when they were just starting out... he did a really nice job on a relatively small (under a $100k) renovation project. A couple years later we contacted him again to perform another, much bigger renovation project. We hired him mainly because we were fairly certain that he would not walk out on us, and trusted he would resolve any issues. We love our house! We have recommended them and will continue to do so!"
