Brad and his team were awesome to work with! They exceeded our expectations for a basement we didn't think was possible. Having only an entrance to our basement from our garage, Brad and team literally cut a hole in our floor to create a spiral staircase entrance to have a basement family room and finished gym area. Communications and timelines were always on point and we couldn't be happier!

Brad and his crew remodeled our basement! He was extremely helpful and responsive. The project was finished in a timely manner and it turned out being beyond anything we could’ve imagined. We can’t thank him and his crew enough for creating a dream space for us. I highly recommend Brad for any and all home projects!

We had Brad remodel our kitchen and sunroom after waiting 15 years to take on this project. They were patient and helpful as we made our selections and assisted in every way possible. The work they did was perfect in every way! They set realistic expectations and finished our project on time. It is more beautiful than I ever imagined.

Brad and his team from LA Kehres Builders certainly lived up to the amazing reviews that I had read about them before hiring this family owned company for an extensive home renovation job in New Hope, PA. The organization, communication, quality of work and professionalism was heads and tails above any other contractors that I have dealt with in the past. Absolutely nothing that I requested was too much or frowned upon as I added more and more tasks as the job rolled along. He is a true gentleman who prides himself on delivering first class service and results. I will hire LA Kehres Builders for any and all future projects without hesitation! Five Stars to say the very least!!!!

A father & son team , along with their team of professional builders & installers, we’re a pleasure to deal with. Brad & I communicated about my expectations & he offered suggestions that enabled my new home to be built in such a manner that I wouldn’t change a thing. Both Brad & Larry are professionals that pay attention to every detail from start to finish, to assure that the project is completed to your satisfaction. They are upfront with their pricing so that you know what your project will cost. The price they quote you may seem slightly higher initially, but after working out details, they provide you with a detailed price list before starting a project & you know what your final cost will be. We met with other builders who may quote you a lower base price but then add additional charges. This is not the way Brad operates. He is upfront about everything & you always know the dollar allowances for each part of the project with the only additional cost being your choice of upgrades above the quoted allowances. My husband & I love our new home & would not even consider another builder.

We had a kitchen remodel done by LA Kehres Building. We could not have been more satisfied. My wife and I are both engineers and consider ourselves very particular. We expect all work to be done first class and right the first time. And it definitely was. We were not always in town when the demo and refit was underway and the communication could not have been better. Brad kept us apprised of any questions / decisions that arose and handled all aspects of the project with great attention to detail. The subcontractors that work with and for them do excellent work. Lastly the project was completed within budget, on time and the quality and craftsmanship was outstanding. We highly recommend them and will be doing our next project with them soon.

L A Kehres Building completed a bathroom remodel in our 1930's era house and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Brad and his team were courteous, conscientious, clean, on time, on budget, skilled and driven to provide the best customer experience. Our old house had a few surprises in store and the team resolved all of them to provide us with by far, the best bathroom in our home. We will certainly be a repeat customer for future projects. Thank you, Brad!

Brad and his crew were a pleasure to work with. From the start, we knew Brad would be someone we could work with. He listened to us, asked us questions to clarify, and always would listen if we had questions or even wanted to change something. He was willing to give his recommendations, but always came back to the fact that they would do whatever we wanted.

What an amazing team of people to help us with our project. Larry, Brad and their team did a fantastic job with great advise and attention to details. This was a very difficult project to do and we are so glad we went with LA Kehres. I can't express enough how thankful we are for you helping us have our dreams come true. I would highly recommend this contractor to anyone.

After working with Brad, Larry and their team, I found them to be craftsmen that communicate and pay attention to details. Their quality workmanship goes above and beyond what I expected. I feel confident hiring LA Kehres for any building or renovation project in the future. Thanks for a great experience and taking our home out of the late 70's into 2018.

Was excellent to work with. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends. We couldn’t be happier with the results. They worked with us hands on throughout the whole process and respected our wishes. Will be using them for all future projects!

LA Kehres did a complete demo and rebuild of an outdoor deck for our house. The entire process was easy from start to finish, the communication was consistent and they responded quickly to questions. They are very professional and friendly. In addition, the finished product was great and exactly how we wanted it. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Brad, Larry and team were very professional during the entire process. They were always at the job on time and were very respectful in all areas. We had Brad's team complete the following projects for us: Deck design and Installation Shed construction Interior electrical and lighting Closet organization Interior painting Interior millwork We were very happy with the outcome of all projects. They work well with the customer and their communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. They are also good at hitting curve balls....when the customer changes their mind during the middle of a project.....they can adapt well. They give you their professional advice in all areas and are honest with the customer. They are committed to fine craftsmanship and it shows in their work. We plan to hire them in the future for more projects. Patrick & Lisa

Brad, Brad and Larry from LA Kehres Building converted an unused storage space to an incredible office and conference room at our shop. In taking it from junk storage space that was just bare brick walls, original single pane windows and an oil soaked floor to a real useable space with new energy efficient windows, air conditioning and heat and finished walls, its a little oasis in the chaos of a busy day. Brad and Larry took the time to listen to me and understand my vision of this space. There was never anything that I requested that was met with a 'No'. When we discussed different options for certain aspects of the office, my ideas were generally met with leading questions so that they could take my idea from just an idea to an actual completed element of the space. They were so accommodating and patient in working around our schedule and ideas and I appreciated their candor in explaining the how and why of the completion of my project. We always knew when they were going to work and what they were going to complete in a given day or week. They will be the first company I call when we are ready to do some renovations on our house.

We had our master bath remodeled by LA Kehres this past fall. Finding a contractor who treats your home like their number one priority is not an easy task; we hit the mark with LA Kehres. The professionalism and timeliness of the work crew was exceptional. Their workmanship was of high quality and there was never a time when we didn't trust Larry and his team in our home. Our expectations were met and we will surely be using them for our next project.

We used LA Kehres to build our new house this year. From start to finish we had a great experience. Larry worked with us and all our changes with ease. We have been very happy with the excellent craftsmanship of the finished product! Thank you Larry and Brad for all your hard work!

From project start to finish, Brad was very professional. He helped in the design, permitting, and building of our addition which included a new bathroom. The project started on time and was completed before expectations. I will be hiring Brad in the Spring to add a deck and re-side our house to match the addition.

Scope of work included removal and discarding of existing roof shingles on main and guest houses, installing new drip edge, ice/water shield and synthetic underlayment and new architectural shingles. Installed new gable and ridge roof vents and removed and discarded existing siding. Installed Low-E house wrap, new siding, sofﬁt and fascia and new protected gutters and conductors. Installed new siding blocks for lights and receptacles and hooded vents for dryer and bath exhausts. The entire process from start to finish was seamless and professional. The work was completed on time and within budget. The level of craftsmanship, thoroughness and cleanliness demonstrated the contractor’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The results certainly speak to the contractor’s experience and technical know how. Highly recommended.

For over 25 years LA Kehres has provided exceptional remodeling services to us. The most current project included replacing dated wood decks and railings on two porches and a large gazebo, with Azek maintenance free porch flooring and vinyl posts and railings. It looks terrific. Attention to detail was outstanding as was the craftsmanship. Larry and Brad Kehres are always anxious to meet and exceed our expectations.

LA Kehres did a remodel of our Kitchen and Master Bath along with building us a second floor balcony complete with an outside shower. They were easy to communicate with and took the time to really understand what we wanted. They made our dreams a reality. LA Kehres takes pride in their work and not only did they do an excellent job on the build but they also cared about the time line and cleanliness. How nice it was to come home in the middle of a build and find it cleaned up each night! I would highly recommend LA Kehres and look forward to working with them again on all our future needs.

We hired LA Kehres Building to remodel 2 bathrooms and a master closet. Larry was friendly, easy to work with and presented us with several designs. Our project had several starts and stops due to our travel plans, Larry was very flexible with his scheduling. His son, Brad and crew, showed up on time and cleaned up after each work day. If they had a problem or a question, they offered solutions and consulted with us before proceeding. The subs they used (painter, plumber tile guys) were all very professional and had the same high quality workmanship as themselves. The rooms are beautiful - we are very happy. Highly recommend - no hesitations!

Brad and his team were wonderful to work with! We had a vision for our basement which Brad was able to bring to life! He was exceptional to work with in regards to floor plan design, budget, selection of finishes, etc. He sent us to excellent suppliers who were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Brad always asked questions throughout the construction phase and made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. I would recommend Brad and LA Kehres to anyone looking to build or remodel! They are true professionals and stand behind their work!

LA Kehres Building has been using our showroom for years. We work hand in hand with their company. They have a wonderful reputation in the area and we know they do quality work. In fact, we just hired them to install a small addition onto our office area. They did a beautiful job and they have such great attention to detail. We are always pleased to work with Brad and Larry! Great company and we give them 5 stars!

I recently used LA Kehres for a total remodel of my kitchen. I was very comfortable with Brad Kehres from the first time he came to the house for the initial estimate. Brad was very professional, paid attention to detail, and his follow through was excellent. He had all activities coordinated and kept me in the loop so that I knew what to expect when. He gave me my options and Helped me understand the implications of each. I was very pleased with the quality of their work. In addition to being good the guys were pleasant also. They did everything that they could to minimize the construction mess. I love my kitchen. Thanks LA Kehres.

I have hired this company for three separate projects ranging from a major renovation/addition to the most recent bathroom renovation. Their work is good, they listen to the customer's ideas and concerns, and they are respectful of the customer's space.

We have used LA Kehres for a few minor projects in our home over the past few years however we chose to use their company for a major kitchen remodel in our home that was built in the early 1900's which we knew would present some challenges. Not only did they exceed our expectations but their attention to detail was amazing. It is quite evident that they take a tremendous amount of pride in what they do. We also enjoyed being included in the project with daily discussions and updates. Without a doubt our future building or remodeling will include LA Kehres Building. Truly a pleasure to put your project in the hands of such professionals.

Exceptional care to every detail of the job from start to finish, with a great work ethic. Our experience with LA Kehres Builders was 2nd to none. Larry and Brad helped us with our dream home. We couldn't be happier.
