### Reviews

**★★★★★ — janebrayton, Jan. 2016**

> Kerr Construction completed an extensive 13 month remodel on my home in 2014.  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.  All there foreman work well with owners architects and suppliers.  They stand behind all there work.
> Many thanks Didrk Marin Lumber, Inc.

**★★★★★ — Glass Concepts, Dec. 2015**

> I have been working with Kerr Construction over 25 years.  In that time, I have found that the level of professionalism and attention to detail that Kerr Construction brings to its projects is achieved by only a handful of builders in Marin County.

**★★★★★ — Polsky Perlstein Architects, Dec. 2015**

> Our office has worked with Kerr Construction for over 25 years. They have built many of our best projects and we have found them to be 100% professional and responsive throughout the construction process. Their attention to detail is exemplary, especially with aesthetics that demand fine woodworking. Their site superintendents are well trained and, again, extremely professional in how they run their jobs, interact with the homeowners and coordinate their team of subcontractors. One of our favorites!

**★★★★★ — Susan Lund - Spacial Design, Jan. 2015**

> Jeff Kerr and all of the people that work with him are among the most highly skilled, resourceful, honest and considerate people in the business.
> Through my kitchen and bath design business, I've had the pleasure of working Kerr Construction for over 10 years.
> I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeff and his team for your next remodeling project!

**★★★★★ — Candace Killman Interior Design, Oct. 2014**

> I have worked with Kerr Construction on both new construction and remodel projects.
>
> I have always found Jeff Kerr to be easy and pleasurable to work with throughout the entire process - from estimating through completion.  His
> foremen and subcontractors are all skilled, attentive and respectful.
>
> Besides being such a good general contractor, Jeff Kerr is one of the nicest
> people you could hope to meet.  You would be fortunate to have him as part of your team.

**★★★★★ — Jeff Zaruba Photography, Oct. 2014**

> I have photographed hundreds of homes and interiors. Jeff Kerr and his crews do amazing work and their projects are some of my favorite to shoot.. Perfect attention to detail, from craftsman to modern. Everything is beautiful, and you can tell that the build process was well thought through. And they are great people!

**★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2014**

> I've worked with Jeff for 30 years . 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.
