We chose him from our list of contractors because he wasn't pushy and took the time to listen to us and made suggestions that would help us save and get more for our money. We asked around and he came highly recommended. We were impressed with the quality of their work and attention to details. To say that we are very satisfied with everything they did for us would be an understatement. > We would hire him again without hesitation! **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Save a few of those stars for yourself. It was your vision and we are happy to hear that you are enjoying your new home. Thank you for taking the time to review our work. It would our pleasure to work with you again some time in the future. **★★★★ — Jennie Brown, Dec. 2017** > I love our new addition! It's a true addition with the look and feel of a 4 season room. We had Always On Time Construction build a 14x20 room from an existing deck and a 14x20 deck with stairs off the deck. > The group was very nice, respectful, professional, and easy to work with. > The only con was the length of time it took (about 1 month longer than expected) and the trim work around the windows. **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Your project was certainly one of the highlights of our summer and we are so happy that you love your space. The view from your 4 season room and deck should bring you lots of enjoyment for many years. Some projects take a little longer and we corrected the problem with the non-paintable painters caulk. Our goal is to provide the perfect remodel. When we fall short, we own it. I thank you for your review and we look forward to serving you again. Tom Kehoe **★★★★★ — beauxlivia, Dec. 2017** > AOTC constructed a beautiful two car garage with shop and apartment above that is attached to my 1920’s house. This project was not simple as we had several levels flowing together and lots of trees and old random old foundations and just a general mess to work through. I also wanted the addition to match existing house as much as possible. They removed a stacked porch in order to begin. They were very quick and tidy with all deconstruction and then with new construction. Pleasurable to work with. They had wonderful recommendations throughout the project and were so knowledgeable. I did not have blueprints for them to work with, just my sketch and descriptions of my vision, and they were still able to move through the process with minor need for questions and rethinking the plan. **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. It was a challenge but turned out great. Enjoy it in good health. **★★★★★ — Tony E, Dec. 2017** > "Always on Time Construction" did what they promised and more to exceed my expectations. Tom Kehoe is great to work with and makes sure everything gets done on time and to the high standards and quality. The crew worked through below freezing temperatures and completed my 2 car garage addition within a week as promised despite the extremely cold weather. He made sure it was done right and delivered within time and budget. > Great company to work with and I would entrust them with my next project again! **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Thank you Tony. I don't think we could have picked a colder month to tackle this project. Happy customers keep us in business and fuel our growth. We would be happy to work with you again as well. **★★★★★ — HU-287942, Dec. 2017** > We hired Tom Kehoe to replace the siding on our home last year knowing it would be a challenge because winter was coming on strong we have a 2 story home with a detached garage. Tom said he would do the best he could until the weather would not permit. They finished in early spring as promised and we love it. They replaced all of the siding and capped the trim with white metal. Place looks new. We love it, my neighbors love it and no more maintenance. ..a double love it. **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to review our work. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the new look of of your home. **★★★★★ — blueiz66, Dec. 2017** > I have my perfect dream kitchen, living room, bathroom & garage - all remodeled. I come home to a warm happy feeling everyday the moment I walk in the door. > Always on time construction did exactly what I have wished for and more. They listened to all the personal touches I wanted. During construction my home remained clean and hardly noticed their presence. > I will have more work done soon. Thank you Always on Time. \*\*\*\*\* 5 stars. Dependable, honest, professional and the new house lift speaks for itself. They stayed within my budget too!. I have been recommending them to everyone. Family & friends are amazed with my home and the fabulous remodeling job they have done so far! Excited to get my basement, four season room add-on and building my additional garage in spring 2018. Thank you again, Always on Time. **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to work with you and look forward to assisting you in any of your remodeling projects. **★★★★★ — Becca Johnson, Dec. 2017** > We hired Always On Time Construction to build a porch/deck and install new windows upon a recommendation from a neighbor/friend. The workmanship was meticulous, precise. They used high quality materials and "over-built" our deck! They took the time to study the materials we had selected and made sure they were installed correctly. They listened to our vision, looked at pictures, shared suggestions and then built a structure that was better than we had dreamed. As problems arose, they displayed patience and persistence as we worked through glitches. We would HIGHLY recommend Tom and his crew for any job, big or small! **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Becca - it was a great project to work on. Your enthusiasm was contagious and the combination of the metal with the wood took the end result to a whole new dimension. I have a feeling people will soon be following your lead. Your kind words are most welcome and we look forward to working with you again. **★★★★★ — Molly Matlock, Dec. 2016** > Last year a garage fire destroyed our garage and work shop. We had no idea who to call. My neighbor said we should call Tom Kehoe.. Tom came right out and guided us through the whole process, worked with the insurance adjuster, handled the clean-up and tear down and helped us design and build a bigger and better garage and workshop. He promised to have us up and running in 2 months (before Christmas) and he did! Even with the "while you're at it" extras and a snow storm he got it done. His people took care of everything and were terrific. His lead carpenter, Mike, was fabulous. We were so pleased with Tom's work we invited him to our 1st ever Christmas in "The Board Room" event, the week before Christmas. They came back in the spring to restore the landscaping and it is beautiful. That's what we call over the top service. Since then I have recommended Tom to several friends and am confident they will be as thrilled as were. **★★★★★ — schillingjd, Dec. 2016** > We had Always on Time Construction build a garage and remodel a bathroom. Work was done right on schedule and was done perfect. I would have Tom do any future project for us. Tom even arranged to remodel our bathroom while we were on vacation. Highly recommended **Comment from Always On Time Construction, LLC:** > Thank you for being such a great customer. I really enjoyed working with you on both of these projects. Merry Christmas to you and your family. **★★★★★ — Mary Gotz, Jan. 2014** > This contractor was ON TIME, efficient, clean and courteous in providing the materials, crew and following the contract agreement as stated. ## Selected projects - [PARKWAY PORCH](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parkway-porch-pj-vj~3047769) - Location: Dubuque, IA - Photos: 14 - Description: This project involved extending a portion of the concrete patio to facilitate a stairway to the new cedar deck, protected by a wood roof with asphalt shingles to match those of the existing home.
