Together they began building custom homes for summer residents, as well as restoring the old whaling captain’s homes in Nantucket’s historic downtown. Kevin adopted a standard of high quality work for Kalman Construction that he has maintained over the years. Innovative products, top quality work and the highest regard for the comfort of his customers became his trademark. South Carolina beckoned the Kalmans. In 1996 they moved the company, complete with many key employees to Charleston.

They were all very professional and responsive to any issues (which are bound to happen) and finished the job on time. There was always something being done to further the renovation no lag times, days off, etc. I look forward to using Kalman Construction on several more projects in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price. **★★★★★ — ksteinertthrelkeld, Nov. 2025** > Kevin Kalman and his crew at Kalman Remodeling are the best! The team has done multiple projects for me and will continue to do so in the years ahead. Projects have included two bathrooms (including total construction of one from an existing closet), flooring in multiple areas, kitchen update, garage floor and driveway painting. Wouldn’t think of calling anyone else — Kevin is our guy and now our friend. **★★★★★ — Chris and Jenna, Oct. 2024** > Kevin and his crew were highly professional, always on time or early, made the process simple and as easy as it could be. They completed the job AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. Cannot recommend highly enough. **★★★★★ — Christopher Frazier, June 2024** > I would definitely recommend Kalman Construction. Kevin and his team did a thorough and professional job of performing all elements for our house renovation. Communications were excellent as well. Kalman Construction gave me a very thorough written estimate up front and came in price-wise as estimated. > > This is specialized work! Having someone you can trust, knows what he is doing, proactively communicates and follows up on open issues is awesome. Great to have an honest, reliable, and professional company to help guide us through the house renovation. Kevin stands behind the work of his company and did everything possible to make sure we were satisfied. Thank you Kevin and Kalman Construction! **★★★★★ — Sarah Connelly, Jan. 2024** > Kevin and team did an amazing job on my first home reno! He was super communicative, quick to come over and quote, and brought his crew in to knock out all of our projects. He was super thoughtful abut the timing of our project, being right at Thanksgiving, and ensured that the house was in a clean, livable state for our guests. I am super grateful for Kevin and team and will certainly use again for any other future home projects. **★★★★★ — Sara Mahoney, Dec. 2023** > We hired Kevin and his crew to build our cabana and outdoor kitchen after having a terrible experience with another local contractor that bailed on us. I was nervous hiring someone else but the job needed to get done. Both Kevin and his office manager Christina were so patient with me while I asked some probably ridiculous questions. The actual construction process was extremely smooth and communication throughout was prompt and thorough. I never felt like I was having to oversee the what was going on or act as project manager. Everything was completed on schedule and exceeded our expectations. I wish I had an option to add pictures because the final product is beautiful. **★★★★★ — ksteinertthrelkeld, Dec. 2023** > I am a serial remodeler and have used many contractors over the years in Texas, Connecticut and here in Charleston. Kevin and his team at Kalman are by far the best team I have ever worked with! Cannot wait to do another project just so I can use them again. Feel free to reach out to me for further details.But trust me, they are the best! **★★★★★ — rblainereed, Dec. 2023** > We used Kalman Construction to build a house this year and are satisfied with the way everything went from the foundation up. Mr. Kalman constantly showed his expertise and overall experience throughout the construction of our home where we are happily settled in and enjoying every moment. His company (group of guys) was exceptionally prompt, quite reliable and easy to work with (we even changed a few things during the process, subtracting and adding accordingly). **★★★★★ — Lindsey F, Aug. 2022** > Kevin and his team at Kalman Construction performed a whole house renovation for us including a foundation rebuild and second floor addition. Even with the supply chain issues he was able to keep us on track with our tight timeline. We enjoyed working with Kevin and would recommend him and use him for future projects. **★★★★★ — Thornton White, June 2022** > Kalman Construction did a fantastic job enclosing the area under my raised beach house! I couldn't find anyone until I met Kevin Kalman - and he does a bunch of these each year! He knew exactly what to do, completed it in less than 2 days, and came back later to add more lights and outlets when I decided I wanted more than I originally wanted. Highly recommended! **★★★★ — FAF, Jan. 2022** > Overall we are pleased with Kalman Construction. Ours was their first modern/contemporary style renovation and on the whole the final product is wonderful. Despite the pandemic, they were able to deliver with minimal delay and stuck to their original bid amount. In one instance, Kevin Kalman drove all the way to Charlotte NC to secure some tiles that were not available in Charleston in order to deliver our project on time! We appreciate their professionalism and their quick response to anything that needed tweaking after we moved in. The pandemic brought many challenges however, they were able to solve the problems caused by delay and lack of products. The only area of weakness is in some of the detail work that was not done to our satisfaction because modern/contemporary style is not the style they are used to working with. **★★★★★ — James, Dec. 2021** > I have used Kalman Construction for multiple projects at my house in Kiawah. The quality of their work is fantastic. Also, Kevin Kalman is extremely responsive and professional. ## Selected projects - [Isle of Palms Master Bath and Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/isle-of-palms-master-bath-and-foyer-pj-vj~6834219) - Location: Isle of Palms, SC - Photos: 6 - [Isle of Palms Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/isle-of-palms-renovation-pj-vj~6834210) - Location: Isle of Palms, SC - Photos: 5 - [O'Hear Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/o-hear-custom-home-pj-vj~5838546) - Location: North Charleston, SC - Photos: 18 - [Marshwood Kitchen and Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marshwood-kitchen-and-bath-pj-vj~5838544) - Location: Hollywood, SC - Photos: 9 - [Burden Creek Outdoor Living Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/burden-creek-outdoor-living-space-pj-vj~5836061) - Location: Johns Island, SC - Photos: 12 - [Waterfront Drive Outdoor Living Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterfront-drive-outdoor-living-space-pj-vj~5836066) - Location: Mount Pleasant, SC - Photos: 16 - [Pope Landing Porch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pope-landing-porch-pj-vj~5836079) - Location: Edisto Island, SC - Photos: 3 - [Concord Street Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/concord-street-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~5836000) - Location: Charleston, SC - Photos: 5 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/kalman-construction-pfvwus-pf~219285485) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
