No part of the interior or exterior was left untouched with much of the house being a complete rebuild. > The final results exceeded all of my expectations! My newly remodeled home is stunning, comfortable, very well built and Jeff Kerr and his marvelous and very skilled team made it all happen. > The entire Kerr team was a delight to work with and their professionalism and expertise made the project run smoothly and on time. As problems arose, Kerr and his foreman were always responsive with creative solutions. They cared deeply about the highest quality construction possible and managed their sub-contractors expertly. They also had a very good working relationship with my architect. I could not have chosen a better contractor and I highly recommend Kerr Construction for any residential remodel or new construction. **★★★★★ — kathleenkaneko, Dec. 2015** > We could not be happier with our new kitchen or with the process we went through with Kerr Construction in creating it. Jeff Kerr was easy to talk to, his proposed budget was very thorough and easy to understand, he tried to include every contingency, and prepare us for the unexpected. We felt like he and his crew were very honest, always our advocates, and looked our for our best interest when dealing with other parties. > > Our remodeling project involved knocking down walls to make a "gathering space." It is both beautiful and functional and we love spending time in it. If we ever need additional construction work we will definitely go back to Kerr. We could not recommend them more highly. **★★★★★ — lchase48, Dec. 2015** > My relationship started with Jeff Kerr and his company, 10 years ago when they rebuilt my 120 year old home. > Their expertise, craftsmanship and professionalism has fostered a relationship that continues today. > When choosing a contractor,obviously their skills and price are typically foremost in a customer's mind. Although that is obviously critically important; but what ultimately becomes even more important, is their integrity and willingness to always stand behind their work and the work of their subcontractors. > In a perfect world, jobs would go off without a hitch. But in the real world, there are bound to be problems, and having a contractor that will always make it right, is a find. Jeff and Co are just those contractors. > I can't imagine doing a job without them. **★★★★★ — marinlmb, Dec. 2015** > We have worked with Kerr Const. for over 20 years there work and attention to detail is impeccable.

They have built many of our best projects and we have found them to be 100% professional and responsive throughout the construction process.

I'm a quality masonry and tile contractor and have worked with some of the best general contractors in the business ands Jeff is one of them. You can't find a more honest or knowledgeable builder in the industry. I highly recommend his firm. **★★★★★ — Dream Business Coaching, May 2014** > As a consult and I worked with hundreds of contractors. I think Jeff is one of the the best. Not only is he have 35 years of experience but he is also technologically on top of his game. Jeff can do a small remodel or multimillion dollar home in a very cost-effective way. Most of most of his employees have been with him for years. He also has some new really smart people in this office. This makes for an unbeatable combination when it comes to delivering a job on time and on budget. I highly recommend Jeff to many architect or homeowner who wants an outstanding job at a terrific price. **★★★★★ — Duncan Robertson, May 2013** > In 2001 we purchased a 20 acre vacant lot in West Marin - to build our "dream home". We spent months investigating building contractors - and eventually selected Jeff Kerr of Kerr Construction. Twelve years later we continue to appreciate the wonderful home that Jeff built. It was a major project - installation of roads and utilities, significant grading of the site, and very intricate architectural designs which required precise and accurate construction. Jeff and his team managed the project perfectly. Since then, the the house and landscape have been featured in various books and magazines, but more importantly - it's become our most favorite place to spend time. If ever we have another construction project in the Bay Area, we wouldn't hesitate to work with Jeff again. ## Selected projects - [Mill Valley Modern Guest House & Garage Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mill-valley-modern-guest-house-and-garage-addition-pj-vj~1190835) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [New House Nicasio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-house-nicasio-pj-vj~357193) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [West Marin Major Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-marin-major-remodel-pj-vj~555621) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: LEED Platinum Awarded Home - [Fairfax Cascades Whole House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairfax-cascades-whole-house-remodel-pj-vj~555545) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [New Modern Home Lagunitas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-modern-home-lagunitas-pj-vj~357206) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Craftsman Lodge Nicasio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-lodge-nicasio-pj-vj~357128) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Ross Victorian Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ross-victorian-remodel-pj-vj~357240) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Tiburon Major Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tiburon-major-remodel-pj-vj~1395886) - Location: Tiburon, CA - Photos: 38 - [Mill Valley Hills Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mill-valley-hills-remodel-pj-vj~1494125) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 7 - [Kitchen/Family Room Remodel San Rafael](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-family-room-remodel-san-rafael-pj-vj~598140) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Larkspur Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/larkspur-retreat-pj-vj~197779) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Japanese Teahouse Mill Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/japanese-teahouse-mill-valley-pj-vj~357245) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [West Marin Craftsman Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-marin-craftsman-home-pj-vj~357231) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Modern Tiburon Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-tiburon-townhouse-pj-vj~357165) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Ross Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ross-residence-pj-vj~197765) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Marin Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marin-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~2121902) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Fairfax Kitchen/Master Bath Major Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairfax-kitchen-master-bath-major-remodel-pj-vj~520318) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Ross Traditional Charmer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ross-traditional-charmer-pj-vj~357170) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Ross Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ross-remodel-pj-vj~357219) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Kitchen/Living Room Remodel San Rafael](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-living-room-remodel-san-rafael-pj-vj~598134) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 33 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/kerr-construction-inc-pfvwus-pf~25654983) ## Ideabooks - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21255036/list/bathrooms) — 10 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20077620/list/kitchens) — 19 ideas - [Pools](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20077473/list/pools) — 13 ideas - [Dining Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/48298953/list/dining-rooms) — 12 ideas - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20077324/list/fireplaces) — 8 ideas [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/kerrconstruct) ## Community Q&A **Q: Patio Cover Color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the color and brand of the stain or sealant used on the patio cover?
