He is thoughtful, smart, caring, skilled, experienced, and a wonderful human being. * He helped us get through the Pre-Application Clearance. He helped us deal with our insurance company. He and his crews built us a fortress of a replacement home. It is as sturdy and well built as can be. * Stuart had a house designer and an engineer lined up for us. He worked well with his subcontractors to produce a superb result. He also helped us get some amenities installed beyond his original contract: a retaining wall, a large front walkway of pavers, and a paved driveway. * We paid Stuart in several parts, as the insurance company paid us. I was pleased to write these checks, since each one represented quality work that was completed.

We lost our long time family home during the August 2020 CZU fire that destroyed 910 other homes…read more We hired Kriege Construction to build our new 1,500sf, 2 bed/2bath home. Given that the country was in the midst of the Covid epidemic with labor and materials costs in short supply and prices increasing, Kriege provided an estimate for the project. We had some design changes along the way and Kriege provided change orders for us to sign. Change orders included the change in +/- change in cost, as expected. Kriege uses software applications to keep track of project estimates, progress billing, payments and change orders, which we found very helpful for our records. Kriege had a good crew of carpenters as well as a good contact list of experienced subcontractors. We were extremely happy with Kriege, his crew and subcontractors and recommend them highly. I've read some of the other reviews here and can offer my viewpoint on them. I'm retired out of big project, Silicon Valley commercial construction and have heard stories from other CZU fire victim homeowners who have struggled with their rebuilds. And my primary takeaway is that this was the first time homeowners had to get involved with their insurance company, planning/building department, general and subcontractors and really lack the knowledge about the whole process and when things go wrong, they blame the contractor. We found Stuart Kriege an honest and caring person, always looking to steer us in the right direction. It's easy to blame someone else when you don't know what you're doing.

We recently had a number of challenges with a different contractor doing some driveway and sidewalk…read morework. We were getting concerned that our current contractor was not giving us the best advice. We called Dwaine in to consult half way through a job that was turning out to be twice as much as I had originally agreed. Dwaine pointed out where we were set wrong by our current contractor, which enabled us to get the scope and price to something within reason. Dwaine also gave us a very competitive price, but it ultimately turned out to be too expensive to break our original contract. I wish we had found Dwaine in the first, as it would have saved me a lot of money and time. We will certainly be using Dwaine on any future concrete work we get done. Would thoroughly recommend this company and their very professional attitude.

We had flagstone along with some concrete installed in our backyard and it looks GREAT! The crew was friendly and professional and completed the job in a very timely manner. I can't say enough.

I got to know Martin when he applied stucco to my wife's house, he did a great job. I was…read moreremodeling my house and I needed to get it sealed, I had problems with leaking. I also had problems with rot. Martin worked with my other contractors, first advising them of where the rot was, there was far more rot than the contractors originally identified. I'm grateful that he detected the additional damage, otherwise I would have been addressing the additional damage in the next few years. He also advised me to replace a window that was compromised. Old stucco was removed, new plywood applied and Martin and his crew applied the new stucco. I was going to paint the house and I needed a proper painting surface. Besides the new stucco, I had a layer of colored stucco rather than paint on the rest of the house. Some of that was cracked and needed to be sealed. Martin's solution to seal the house and get a uniform painting surface was to put a thin layer of mesh and stucco over the old stucco (thus sealing the old stucco) and a layer of white acrylic over all of the stucco. It was so beautiful, I received many compliments, and we hadn't painted yet. The job was a bit complicated, my house is on a hill and is very tall greater than 30ft, and the ground around the house is not level. MSR Stucco Finishes are experts with scaffolding, setting it up around the entire house; this was a work of art in itself. MSR pays attention to all the details when it comes to safety, the scaffolding was anchored to my house to make sure it was steady. I'm also grateful that Martin helped out my painters by erecting scaffolding for their use. They are no-nonsense at MSR Stucco Finishes, they do the job the right way and will bring up any concerns that they have about anything that might become an issue; things that I never thought about. There were instances of doorways and windows that needed to be addressed to make sure there was no leaking. Over the course of the job, MSR has to remove lights and gutters from the house, they were very respectful of my property. They organized these things and also picked up other such items that some of the other contractors left laying around the property and placed them in a neat pile where they wouldn't get lost or damaged. When my other contractors left the job site and left behind a rather large pile of construction debris, Martin offered to clean it up, I and my neighbors were grateful. MSR is always devoted to finishing the job, often working weekends. The company as a whole works very hard, Martin and Abraham, the owners, set the example. I'm happy with what I paid for top notch expertise and work, I'm confident that my house will be leak-free for years to come. Greg Lewis Santa Cruz
