K-Co stood out with an excellent local track record and great reviews. I trusted K-Co in transforming a 1950's single-story house into a modern two-story family home amidst the peak of the pandemic and writing this review 2 years later I am still glad I chose K-Co. The renovation was completed without a single defect, a testament to their commitment to quality and my satisfaction. This company is a great example of team work and they stayed on budget and delivered the contractual scope of work in the time frame estimated. read more

K-Co Construction - General Contractors Near Me - San Diego, California

This is long... The short story is YES, K-Co Construction is great and will build you the best house. After going to Del Mar home show and interviewing 4 contractors, and then interviewing 5 at our south-west (Clairemont Village) home, we chose KCo-Construction. Yes... That's me. I need to talk with everyone, have my questions ready and am very choosy. And to make it more challenging, you hear so many bad contractor stories. Our neighbor hired a guy who left ¾ the way through. Can you imagine? The point is, I am very picky and even then... Ya just don't know.... We made the best decision choosing Chad Gardener and KCo. And like us, you are now looking. I could write a story as to how well this went but will try and keep it short. We have built a residential home and a commercial space and have a medium good idea as to what we need in a contractor. For me, communication, competency and integrity are very important. Through this whole project, KCo maintained the most professional, communication, work ethic, integrity, capability that I could ever imagine coming from a construction company. We did a complete remodel. We switched the kitchen to the back of the house, added a master bedroom wing with a master bathroom and master closet. We added a garage, made 2 beautiful bathrooms. We literally designed the house and KCo refined it, and built it to our specs. The relationship first starts with Chad, the owner of the company. Chad has been in construction most his life as KCo is a family business. One thing very cool about this and KCo, is that they are very community and family oriented, supporting many events in the Clairemont community (and that made a difference for us). They live here and support here. Which is another interesting thing about KCo, is they don't take projects to far from here. What this means is when something goes funky, (as will happen in construction), the project manager is very close to deal with it. This happened several times and BOOM, he was there to manage it. You don't have to wait. Chad knows construction. I appreciated the way he looked at our house and talked us through what needed to be done. He worked with us on our design and his guidance was invaluable. Once we had our drawings and we agreed on the price (which was fair and reasonable), we met our project manager Brian Beagle. I cannot say enough how great Brian has been. I think one of the most important things a PM needs to be able to do, is manage the client. We asked a lot of questions and were on site almost every single day. He managed us well. He managed his subs well. I am speechless to how well he understands construction, the process and the little details that I would have missed. One of the coolest things is we felt he always had our back and wanted us to have what we wanted. And when something was off, or the price not right, or we were going over budget, he was able to offer alternatives and catch us before we went off the track. Brian is amazing. He was also very fun to hang out with as the house was being built. Their internal team, David, Trevor and Nick are also great, ethical and professional. We have now been in our house over 2 months. We love our house. It came out GREAT. What I am most impressed by is the level of construction. As I said, we have had a couple builds and have some idea as to what we are looking for. This house is solid. As you look around town at the houses KCo is building, you will notice this. The design, construction and livability. And they have been building some very cool houses. They really are the best and our experience was awesome. My wife is happy and was comfortable working with them. We highly recommend them. PS.... One more thing... Our house was being completed during the time of CornaVirus. They were a month away from completion when the shut down orders started coming. We were living in an apartment and I am immune-compromised. I felt we needed to get home to feel safe. KCo busted their butts to get the house ready a month early so we could move in before we would not be able to. That is dedication to your client. I cannot say enough good about these guys. read more

We can't express how happy we are with the job K-Co did on our home. We interviewed 4 contractors and ultimately met with Chad at K-Co. Chad did a great job at establishing expectations and over delivering. He was very clear about the process and what to expect. We knew right away after meeting with him, that K-Co was going to be the right fit for us. On the job, our Project Manager Juan went above and beyond and is so knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He knows how to put the pressure in the right places to keep things on track in a way that promotes action, and has high expectations of himself and the team. Every time I went a little sideways on some of my thoughts, Juan and Chad did such a great job of offering alternatives that were beautiful, amazing, and cost efficient (and ultimately better than what I would have come up with). Additionally, when issues happened, they talked us through all the alternatives and gave the pros and cons in a fair, objective way. Additionally, every other K-Co employee (Dave, Trevor, & Garrett) were awesome every time they walked into our home, very professional and delivered a great work product. I also love how connected they are to the community, I didn't notice prior to hiring K-Co, but they support the local Clairemont/Bay Park schools, which to me shows how committed they are to the Clairemont/Bay Park community. K-Co is definitely top notch - I highly recommend. I attached some pictures of before & after ... we're still moving, so pardon the messes :) read more

Our first remodel was a kitchen gut job and a new garage several years ago. Big job and we decided to go with K-Co because of their BBB integrity awards and their reputation. We were thrilled with their professionalism, their crew's professionalism and their final product. We returned to K-Co for two more major remodels this year because our first experience was so good. We are finished with one bathroom and start work on the other this week. We are glad we returned to K-Co, and if we need more work done we will go to them again. Chad has taken over the business and is doing great. Everyone who has worked on our projects has been knowledgeable, on time, friendly and they've done a great job. We asked for the same crew for this third job because we were so happy with how the second one went. I promise you will appreciate what this company can do for you! read more

I think it has been about 3 years since our K-Co remodel and my love and respect for this company has only grown. We had a random issue with our shower that had nothing to do with construction or install and K-Co could've easily said it wasn't their problem; but they didn't. They came out immediately to assess the situation and connected us with the manufacturer - and we got our new shower door installed. I love knowing that this company is here for us, whenever anything comes up. Thank-you K-Co! read more

I could not have had a better remodeling experience than I did with Chad, Juan and their team at K-Co. As a first timer when it comes to major house upgrades, I had lots of trepidation and was not sure what to expect. Thankfully, Chad and Juan made the process seamless. The schedule was always clear and planned in advance, and any necessary changes only made after discussion and approval. While it was definitely difficult to live in one bedroom and the garage for weeks, their openness and guidance made it easier because expectations were properly set. Most importantly, the work they did was fantastic! My entire kitchen and downstairs were transformed, with every detail carefully executed. I was well supported when it came to choosing appliances, counters, fixtures and extras, and blown away by the final product. Even better, Juan has continued to follow up after completion to take care of any and all punch list items, including things that developed after K-Co was done! I was overwhelmed by K-Co's professionalism and performance, and would heartily recommend them to everyone (as I already have to multiple friends)! read more

K-Co just finished a complete remodel of our kitchen and living area in our Clairemont Mesa home. We had been wanting to remodel our kitchen for years, and had many different contractors come and bid the job. Thankfully we ended up choosing K-Co. Chad, and then Juan or project manager were the best. Having done many remodel projects in the past, I cannot praise Chad and Juan enough for under promising and completely over delivering! Every cost, deadline, and expectation was exceeded by the K-Co team. Any future jobs I have, I will just go straight to K-Co, I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Took us nearly a month to meet them and the week of they cancelled original appointment, so we had to accommodate them. Never did they asked budget or scope during any convo until... Day arrives and they quoted us $60k-$80k on kitchen remodel (or our entire renno budget.) On the high end that works out to $270/sq ft for one kitchen without removing a wall. I asked what revenue sweet spot was and they said they'd take $500 job. It was a bad saving face move. We're educated consumers and they seem to cater to folks that need turnkey solutions. If you have a lot of money, call them. They are not well organized in setting up first appointment and expensive once you get to taking money. read more

Just used K-Co for the third time! They remodeled my real estate office once and did major jobs, including one room addition, on my home twice. They do an outstanding job. I was especially happy that whenever there was a little glitch (which always happens with a big construction job), they took care of it quickly and to my satisfaction. I also have referred them many of my real estate clients and always get great feedback. Thanks Chad, Brian, & crew! read more

I would strongly recommend K-co for your next remodeling project. We worked with Chad and Brian and they were great. it is a family owned company and they take pride in their work and customer service. We hired them a few years ago to build a second story for our house. We chose them, because of their reputation and experience in our neighborhood. We were impressed from the beginning: their quote was very thorough and complete, including all possible expenses to avoid surprises. We lived in the house during remodel with our 18 months old, and they went out of the way to make sure the construction area was always clean and safe for our little one. Chad and Brian were always upfront, polite and reliable. The whole construction was finished in a little more than 6 months, which was a relief. K-Co, helped us to deal with the city and its officers, who stopped our project for 5 months, and did not let us to fend for ourselves. They were great mediators and got our project back on track. Recently, I had them come over and check some issues I had in the kitchen that was a direct result of our construction. Even 5+ years after the job was finished, they made sure that everything was fixed to our satisfaction, and for no charge.The work was impeccable, and very fast. You don't often see companies with so much integrity that they will take responsibility for a misstep that happened almost 6 years prior. I would definitively hire them again. read more

Honest, knowledgeable, friendly and good pricing! Highly recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough of K-Co Construction Inc. In a world where remodel nightmares and crooked contractors seem to be the norm, our 6 month project with K-Co was amazing. Chad, Brian, Juan and the whole K-Co team are dedicated to top quality, professionalism and expertise. They did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. We spent many months (more than normal I understand) interviewing contractors and going over the details of our plans. We are so pleased we decided on K-Co. They saved us money before we even started by finding a large error in our plans (drawn at the recommendation of an architect from a different company) and pointing it out so we could fix it before we started. We didn't even have a contract with them yet! We wish we had had them draw the plans as well, but we got it right when we hired them right after. Our project was a whole house remodel and addition. Our house was an original 1951 design and we took it down to the studs virtually throughout. K-Co rebuilt it into our dream home. It really turned out better than we could have imagined. In addition to removing walls, remodeling the kitchen and new everything, we added a large master suite, laundry room, and attic storage. The finished product is truly custom and high quality. K-Co maintains the highest integrity possible. They always did what was fair. If an issue or problem came up (which is inevitable in a remodel but our issues were few overall) they discussed it with us immediately. There was no hiding of things or trying to do the easiest and cheapest. They presented us with the issue and as a group we discussed the options available to us. They were great about advising on and explaining our options, but we never felt pressure to choose the most expensive or, conversely, easiest for them, option. They always helped us choose what was best for the project. And we are thrilled with the result. They helped us build a home we love and that will take us from now, far into our retirement years. K-Co stands for honesty, integrity, professionalism, punctuality and great communication. If you choose them, you can trust you've made the right choice. read more

We just had a master suite added and expanded the kitchen, as well as added a roof deck. K-Co was friendly, professional and did a beautiful job! Everyone at K-Co, especially the owners were very helpful and pleasant from beginning to end. We can't wait to use them again for our next project. All the reviews we got about K-Co were great, so I think that Jen L must be confusing them with some other company, especially since K-Co only works in this area, not in El Cajon. read more

Didn't show first appointment. Called to explain and reschedule. Chad came out and was very nice and informative. Lots of ideas. Thank you! read more

We interviewed 4 contractors before hiring K-Co for our almost complete tear-down and addition. Previously, we had worked with 5 different contractors on various homes that we have owned. Some were good, some were ok, and one was bad. None of the good ones came close to the quality and integrity of K-Co. We originally chose K-Co because they were local, had great reviews, an impeccable BBB rating, and good references. Some of the other contractors we talked with had fancier websites and extremely polished sales pitches. We could have gone with one of them. I am so glad we chose K-Co instead. From start to finish, I never worried about our project being in Chad and Brian's hands. Chad (the owner) was always very responsive, sometimes emailing me back practically the moment I sent my question. He worked very hard to make sure our extensive house remodel and addition was progressing through the design and permit process and even went to the city himself when fire review held us up. He was very conscious of our budget and timelines since we were living elsewhere while the work was being done. When the construction was underway and handed over to the foreman, Brian, we continued to have an excellent experience. As with any construction project, unexpected issues came up. Throughout it all, Brian kept us informed, went through our options, and continued to make sure the project was progressing even when one aspect would get held up. We always felt completely comfortable asking questions no matter how minor, and Brian would always give detailed responses so we knew exactly what was going on. My husband and I are both very detail oriented (my husband re-created our entire house with each stud location, electric line, pipe placement, etc. in sketch-up) and we're glad K-Co was as well. While our project grew larger than we originally expected which pushed back the completion date, they finished three days earlier than they projected once the total scope of the project was known. Now that we've moved in, we can relax and enjoy our beautiful home knowing that everything was done right. Thank you, Chad, Brian, and Renee (wonderful office staff!) and everyone who worked with K-Co on our project. read more

We have used K-Co Construction for our home improvements over the past 20 years. They've been involved with replacing our roof, replacing all the doors and just recently we had a kitchen remodel. We've always found them to be very professional and responsive. With most construction jobs, you're going to run into some unexpected issues but Chad and Brian were right there to make it right. They've never disappointed us. We love our new kitchen and happy to say we would recommend K-Co Construction for any construction projects you may have. read more
