We had a great experience working with Kendall Construction on the design and build of our backyard. From the beginning, their team was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely interested in helping us create a space that fit our vision. They guided us through the design process, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure everything was clearly communicated along the way. The installation went smoothly, and the quality of the work really shows in the finished product. The attention to detail and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. Overall, we're very happy with how our backyard turned out and truly enjoyed working with Ken and team. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable team for a backyard design and build project. Looking forward to working with them on our front yard project in the future! read more

This is the second time I have used Kendall Construction, and it certainly won't be the last. I was in dire need of a new driveway. The original was asphalt, and had been severely uprooted by some large, mature pine trees. I gave Ken full autonomy to do what he thought was best. Given his track record in town, I had complete trust in him, and boy did he not disappoint! What started as a driveway project turned into a total redesign of the front entry to my house. It all tied together beautifully. Thank you Ken! read more

The pictures speak for themselves. We bought a new construction house with a dirt "blank slate" back yard. Ken was a pleasure to work with...and I say that having worked with a lot of different construction companies and people. He worked with us every step of the way and was always receptive to my wife's design ideas and input. What's more telling is Ken is literally the only construction person that my wife has enjoyed working with. His son and all of his employees are incredible people and they were always a pleasure to have around. Kendall Construction did our back yard and side yard. Next up is the front of the house and I cannot wait ! Down the road in a year or so we will be using them for a small pool in the back too ! Thank you Ken...you guys are amazing !!! read more

I give Ken and his crew my highest recommendation. I liked his communication throughout the planning and building process, how Ken worked for me through my troublesome HOA's roadblocks, consistent start and finish times every day, how his own crew did all the work without subcontracting out, and how he provided project Ideas when needed and plenty of options when desired. I'm going to hire him again when I'm ready for my next project. read more

Ken does a great job. We hired him back 8 years after he did our front yard to do our backyard. We gave him some ideas of what we wanted (dog run, outside seating), but let him design it as he wanted. For any idea he had, he bounced it off us to make sure we were good with it. In the end we got a complete outdoor living experience we would have never came up with on our own. We highly recommend him and his crew. read more

After dealing with this company over the past year and half, I have some very real concerns for the public's safety. In fact, Kendall Construction did such a poor job that I had to report him to the Contractors State License Board and file a civil lawsuit against him, which we settled out of court. My lawsuit was for fraud, breach of our building contract, negligence, conversion (meaning they improperly took my money), and several other claims. I hired him to build some patio covers at my house. At first, I thought that the problem was just that the covers leaked with it rained. Within weeks of the work being completed, it rained a lot in our area. When it did, water was pouring (not dripping, pouring) between the cover and the house.  Ken Adams (the owner of Kendall Construction) somehow tried to blame me for that. That was just the beginning of many ridiculous excuses and rationalizations I faced trying to deal with this company. When we couldn't' get this issue resolved, I had to hire a lawyer who filed a lawsuit for me in the San Diego Superior Court. Through the process of the suit I had three different licensed contractors look at the patio covers to see what it would cost to fix it.  All three said they were so poorly done that they should be torn down and rebuilt.  I brought in a Certified Building Inspector who agreed with their findings, as well as making the determination that the work was performed without the required license from the Contractors State License Board, that a building permit was required (even though Kendall Construction assured me that a permit wasn't required), that the company violated the law by taking an improper down payment, and many other specific violations of the law and building industry standards including that the work did not comply with the Fire Code. Given my concerns about my home, my safety and those of my neighbors, I had the patio covers torn down at my own expense. What I didn't know when I hired Kendall Construction was that there is such a thing as "Wildland-Urban Interface Areas" or a WUI designation. These areas in places like Fallbrook are in or are closer to the undeveloped parts of the County and because of that there's a higher risk of wildfires spreading. If you live within a WUI area, then there are special rules for how you have to build in order to reduce the risk of wildfires. (If you want to see if your house is in a wildfire hazard area, the county has an online tool you can search at https://www.readysandiego.org/wildfire-hazard-map/) It turned out that I live in a part of San Diego County that is within that WUI designation so the work that I hired Kendall Construction to do had to comply with those special Fire Code provisions. As I understand it, all of Fallbrook (where I live and where Kendall Construction is based) is within the WUI area and subject to these heightened building standards so I was especially surprised to find out that the work didn't comply with appropriate building and fire codes. The professionals that I relied on during the lawsuit advised that the fact the work did not follow the Fire Code put my home and potentially the homes of my neighbors at an increased risk of losing our homes (or maybe even lives) due to a wildfire. I would be very concerned for anyone out there who has hired this company that the work done might also not comply with the building and/or fire codes. If you have any concerns that you or the public might be at risk, you should probably hire an independent third party to take a look at the work and find out for sure. If you are interested in finding out more about my specific claims against Kendall Construction (there were MANY other claims against the company that are not all described here) the court files are open to the public and available online. Everything that was filed in my case (including a copies of the reports by both an independent contractor and the Certified Building Inspector) are there to read. To do that, you can search the Court's Register of Actions and download the documents that were filed in the case at https://roa.sdcourt.ca.gov/roa/ and search under Kendall Construction or by our case number: 37-2020-00008049-CU-CO-CTL. read more

After receiving several estimates for my backyard landscaping, I chose Kendall Construction to complete my project. While Kendall's estimate was not the cheapest, it was also not the most expensive. I was able to review his work as he was completing a job right up the street. Kendall's no nonsense approach, easy demeanor, and his overall eye on the quality and timeliness of his work helped me make the decision. Kendall and his team arrived on time each morning and cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. Kendall was especially attentive to our needs and created a simple but sophisticated yard with little maintenance required. Price came in as estimated and we are now enjoying our backyard. I highly recommend Kendall Construction as the process went as planned with exceptional quality for a fair price. read more

I was in the market for a backyard make over. I had an old fiberglass pool and a bunch of ideas. I interviewed approximately seven companies, so I figure my homework was complete. Kendall Construction was my choice. I met with Ken and described what my family was looking for. He completed a rough draft of the project and then sat down with me to fine tune the final projection. I particularly like how Ken has an encyclopedia like mind for outdoor living spaces, but will listen to what the customer wants. He pointed out pros and cons of my numerous ideas and was able to incorporate a lot of my unique ideas. Prior to the start of the project, Ken put all the costs in writing and provided a timeline with specific completion phases. Start to finish, the project stayed pretty much on target. We had a good deal of rain during the project, but Ken used the heavy rain days as a guide for drainage. Several heavy rainstorms have occurred since and my backyard is always free of standing water. Basically, he didn't waste time with rain days and managed to use the poor weather to our advantage. Having a local company is a tremendous advantage. I saw the same group of guys everyday and Ken or his son Kevin were at my house most everyday. Unlike some construction crews, you could set your watch on when these guys arrived, took lunch and when they left. I felt comfortable leaving all of my garage and storage areas open while they were here. All of the crew were very polite and courteous with me and my family. This is an important trait as having the wrong people at your home can be very UN comfortable. Kendall Construction's work is without question. They used high quality and top of the line products. The Pavers, Tile and Wood working are all first rate. The free form pool is the envy of all my friends. The landscaping looks amazing. Thanks for a job well done! read more

Amazing, professional, personable, hard working and reliable are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of the job Kendall Construction just completed for me and my family. The crew showed up on time and ready to work each morning and the job site was impeccably cleaned prior to them leaving for the day. The project was completed sooner than the promised timeframe, the recommendations Kendall made worked out perfectly for the project, and saved me money. I grew up in a construction family, so I have very specific ideas and expectations, Kendall Construction exceeded all my expectations, they were truly a pleasure to work with; this is the company I will go to for any outside projects in the future, and I will recommend them to my family and friends. I would give 10 stars if it was an option....top notch family business! read more

Super flaky, unprofessional. Couldn't remember our appt. time, and asked us when it was. So we had to tell him. Then was a no show. No call, no follow up, missed opportunity for him. read more

I was in the market for some having some sod and Pavers installed in my front yard and he answered all of my questions in a quick and prompt response. I had a million questions about sod VS artificial turf and he gave me the Pros and Cons on both. I opted for Sod and a new irrigation system . He is a true Pro at what he does and you can tell he has a lot of experience. He is also very good about getting back to you by text message. I will use him for future projects as well. read more

Recently he came to remove our shingles and give our house an upgrade with siding. BEAUTIFUL! read more
