The Kenney Group, LLC.

Back in October 2015, The Kenney Group was hired to build an addition on to the back of my house. This would be the second time we hired the Kenney Group for remodeling projects on our house. Both projects were fairly large projects with budgets well over $120,000 on each project. On the first project my rating would be a 5 star rating. That project was completed back early 2011. the job they did was outstanding. The project manager was exceptional. They exceed our expectations in all areas (easy to work with, on budget, on time, cost transparency, high quality, professionalism, follow-up. It was a very positive experience. Our second project which started in October, 2015 and completed in April 2016, was for the addition of a rustic porch on the back of the house. It was a Cedar Timbers Porch, with a large stone fireplace, built the old fashion way. It also included changing all of the windows and doors in the back of the house that connected to the porch. I like to call the project "my "Lake House in the City". In the end it turned out to be spectacular! Seeing it is believing! Even though in the end the Porch Project turned out very well, it was not as smooth of a project as the one we had completed in 2011. After about 1 month into the project, we started to have issues with the project manager, which actually came to a head right before the Christmas holidays when the decision was made to bring on a new project manager. Without getting into any of the details, suffice it to say, after some delays and some reworks, we were able to get the project back on track. I think it is important to note that the Kenney Group, stood behind their work and that of their subcontractors and suppliers. It is my conviction, that you learn the true character of your builder when problems arise and you experience first hand how they deal with and correct the problems. Whenever you hear the horror stories of construction nightmares, it usually involves the builder not owning the problems and / or trying to cover-up or take short cuts in correcting the problems, or passing on significantly higher costs to fix the problems, therefore blowing out your budget. I am happy to say that this did not happen with the Kenney Group. In the end I am not happy that we encountered the problems, but I am extremely please with the way they were dealt with and corrected to our full satisfaction with the cost being passed on to me, which I believe is very important for anyone who is hiring a contractor, especially on larger projects, to know that their contractor has high integrity and will stand behind their work and manage the job within the agreed to budget parameters. Rest assured, The Kenney Group will stand behind their work! in closing, I just want to say that Keith Kenney, and the sub-contractors that he uses are all very professional, their quality of work is outstanding, they are easy to work with, they will provide great ideas on things to consider as there project progresses, and they are transparent in the labor and material costs, with constant and timely updates on where the project stands in relation to the the original budget for the project. They were not the low bid on this project, they due cost a little more, but in the end the quality of the work and materials, along with the openness and transparency on the work done and the cost make the slightly higher cost well worth the investment. In the end I got everything I wanted and cannot be more satisfied in the final result. We use our new porch every day and to have such a positive feeling about the overall design and build experience utilizing the services of The Kenney Group even after the initial problem reinforces my satisfaction every day.

The lack of supervision was the most stressful part of the renovation. Missing in action for weeks on end. A second story addition, promised in 7-9 months...started October 2011, the official last payment/finish date was in February 2013. Three different project managers...inconsistent communications... yet to complete the job's punch out list in 2016.---from roofing not correctly installed, including skylights, to bathroom floor grout cracking and leaving lines and holes in the master bathroom floor. . The painter used three levels of lower quality paint than we contracted for.

My wife and I were introduced to The Kenney Group by our architect to provide one of three bids to build our new home. From the first meeting to discuss costs and the construction process, we very felt comfortable with the pricing, professionalism and knowledge that Keith and his site supervisor provided. Because I travel a great deal, we needed a company that would be easy to work with, could maintain the building schedule and provide the detailing we required. Over the course of the one year plus construction period, Keith kept to his original prices and when changes arose, the construction and finish options were discussed to help minimize additional costs yet provide the desired effect. As we are settling in there have been minor issues that have needed to be taken care which The Kenney Group responded to. Overall we are very pleased with the outcome and have received nothing but positive comments on the house. My wife and I are happy we selected The Kenney Group and would not hesitate to recommend or use him again.

The entire project took about 2 years, and the way we describe it to friends is "we started out to remodel the kitchen, and wound up saving the outside walls". It is virtually a brand new home: all new HVAC, plumbing & fixtures, wiring, flooring, windows and doors, cabinets, insulation, new paint inside and out, high-end audio/visual system, security (including cameras). We received bids from 3 firms. Keith did the best job explaining how his cost structure and his company worked and it was a clear advantage; as it turned out the scope grew by 40 to 50% as we decided to do more and more work. Keith kept his profit and fees very close to that quoted in the original scope he bid on. Others we reviewed wanted a mark-up on everything they touched. The job superintendent was superb and a skilled craftsman in his own right. He was on site every day and most days all day to ensure the various subs where doing what we wanted. This was critical to our project since we were living in Houston when the project started and could not be present at all times. The trim carpentry was the highest quality we have ever seen and this was our 12th home (most were custom homes as well). The painting sub was also the best we have ever used. The tile work was in the same category - stunning finished work. The rest of the crafts were solid professionals, but these stood out. When we had an issue with a piece of work, Keith always ensured it was corrected and that we did not pay for something that we should not have. We have recommend him to friends often and would not hesitate to use him again.

We hired The Kenney Group for a first floor renovation that took 6 months. I can't say enough good things about this company! Keith is WONDERFUL to work with. He likes architecture and had some great ideas for improving our design...this is a rare quality in a contractor. He does quality work. He is trustworthy, dependable and fair. We are still in the warranty period, and the project manager still comes to our house to fix things that have shown up since the renovation was complete. We love the end result and would highly recommend Keith Kenney and The Kenney Group!

We hired The Kenney Group to fully renovate our kitchen and family room. The family room project included new cabinetry and a masonry fireplace. The kitchen was a full-remodel with all new cabinetry and applicances. This was our first renovation and we were very pleased with how everything turned out. Keith's quote was not the lowest we received but we trusted his numbers more than the others and he seemed to understand our desired outcome more than the other contractors who bid on the job. In hindsight, I think the others would've cost just as much and the outcome wouldn't have been as great. Kyle was our project manager and he was extremely professional and on top of things during the whole project. He was also a great sounding board when we were trying to decide between two or three different options. I wouldn't say that everthing went perfectly but when issues did arise, they were on top of them and made things right. We are very happy with the work they've done and would highly recommend The Kenney Group.

The Kenney Group completed an extensive remodeling project on our home in 2012 and based on our experience, we are pleased to recommend Keith Kenney and his company. The scope of our project included exterior as well as interior work and involved subcontractors in many different specialties. Total kitchen-family room remodel, new bathroom, new laundry room, exterior changes included 2 new entries, roof line alterations, all new windows & doors, re-stucco etc. There are many reasons we had a positive experience with Keith and at the top of the list ranks a vital characteristic, trust. Keith has high integrity and delivers on his commitments. Many expected and unexpected issues arose on our construction project and Keith was always fair, honest, and readily available. Keith has vast and deep knowledge of construction and architecture. His quality standards are very high and were maintained throughout the project. He has many ideas and a keen sense of design that impact architectural features & details as well as the building process. Keith and his project managers are excellent, ingenious problem solvers when tackling building challenges. Keith has a strong ability to synthesize many complex issues and options and present them to homeowners in simple, actionable terms. This is a significant advantage when addressing the hundreds of homeowner decisions that are associated with a remodeling project. The Kenney Group project managers and their selected sub-contractors were excellent. Both of our project managers were very knowledgeable about construction and did a great job overseeing our project. The caliber of subcontractors was exceptionally high and critically vital to completing our dream home renovation.

Keith & especially his Stone Mason did a good job renovating our pool deck, sitting area and outdoor grill kitchen. It looks great! Keith understands construction & can walk you through the process, step by step. Other than some communication issues, our renovation was to plan, on budget and completed in a timely fashion. Thanks Keith!

Keith Kenney's company did a total rebuild of my large deck and added a screened porch. Keith, his project team and contractors he used were the most professional I have ever dealt with. From start to finish, they delivered what the promised and it was on time and within budget. We had had soil stability issues with the deck supports since our house was originally built. Keith brought experts who solved the problem. After Keith finished, for the first time since we built the house, I feel secure about the stability of our deck. I consider myself hard to please when it comes work on my house. Keith exceeded my expectations and every regard and has set a new higher bar for my expectations for vendors in the future.

We are in the midst of a renovation with The Kenney Group. They have done an excellent job so far. A few issues have arisen, and they have addressed and fixed them in a timely manner. Communication has been open and respectful. While perfection may be difficult to achieve, TKG's goal is excellence, and we feel we will end up with a top-quality renovation.
