Kirk Development Company

We used Kirk for a kitchen remodel about a year ago. They are high cost for low quality work. They took three times as long to complete the kitchen (almost a year and with no materials delays mind you) causing us to bring home our newborn child to a house with no functioning kitchen. They didn’t complete the work to plan, misplacing the island and throwing off the entire layout. When we made complaints, they spoke a good game about taking responsibility but didn’t take any corrective actions. A year later from the reno and the cabinet draws they installed are falling apart, the plumbing they did beneath the sink fell apart causing water damage to the island. We highly recommend avoiding Kirk construction at all costs.

This year my wife and I decided we could not wait any longer to completely remodel our kitchen and guest bathroom. A few years ago, we contracted Kirk Development to demolition a carport and backyard shed in a home we were selling for my wife’s mother. Although a demo is not a remodel, Nathan Mess, Kirk’s Designer/Estimator, impressed us so much it was a no brainer to call him to come look at what we needed for the remodel at our residence. We explained what we thought wanted to do during Nathan’s initial visit to our mid-century home with the same era kitchen and guest bathroom. Nathan listened attentively during my long monologue. As we walked the two areas, Nathan asked us many questions focusing upon what we did not like about the current mid-sixties kitchen and guest bathroom. We then sat at the dining room table, which is when Nathan started to offer his advice, share his experience and expertise. He offered us many options that we did not come close to considering or imagining. We went round table multiple times with different ways to approach the remodel project. He also offered advice where we could spend a little more money to get a better result and surprisingly offered suggestions that would save us money on the project. In the end, we ended up with a much better plan and hit the go button. Nathan made an appointment to come to our home a few weeks before the project was to begin and brought Curt Armstrong, their Production Manager, and John Hughes, their Field Superintendent to go over the project end to end to make sure we were all on the same page. During this second visit, Nathan, Curt, and John gave us a sense of confidence and comfort that the project would be completed exactly as we wanted. They also assured us it would not be an issue should we decide to change anything at any stage of the project. The project begins. The project Superintendent, John was onsite with the beginning of the demolition of the old kitchen and bath. Although we stayed in our home during the whole project, we were impressed with how well John and his crew kept the dust and dirt contained during the demo which was one of our big concerns. The demolition went quickly and smoothly. Next phase began with John Hughes and his team building our dream kitchen and guest bathroom. Throughout the whole process, John was not only the Field Superintendent but also to my surprise, a fine artisan. When I was younger, I used to build residential homes. I worked with a small company that was owned and run by a cabinetmaker who chose to build his houses with the anal retentiveness as the cabinets he built. I saw these same perfectionist attitudes in John. Not only does he set high expectations for the work he does but also everyone on his team that came into our home to build our dream. During the remodel process, were there glitches and changes? I do not believe there is any project that has this magnitude of work that would proceed from start to beginning without either items happening. To our relief however, these were all taken care of easily and quickly with the full support of Nathan and John from the beginning to the end of the project. I cannot express how happy and relieved from stress my wife and I were to have the caliber of this team at our home building our dream. How did it turn out? The only words I can come up with is grateful. The Kirk Development Team went well beyond my wife’s and my expectations. They kept us updated throughout the whole process. Even with the glitches that would be expected and changes we made after the start of the project, Kirk Development came through with gold stars. The vision of our dream became a reality. All of the things that we did not like with the original mid-sixties kitchen and bath had disappeared. Additionally, with the expert advice of Nathan and John, we ended up with much more than we imagined. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story. If you are considering a remodel project in your home, I would feel remiss if you did not contact Kirk Development Company to give them a chance to allow them to build your dream too. Sincerely, Bob and Chris

The Kirk team was terrific to work with. They were professional and efficient and easy to work with. And I LOVE how my new bathroom turned out!

just finished a 400 sq, ft, remodel on my house with Kirk Development. very pleased with the project, and the quality. There superintendent Dan Hanna, was very approachable and kept us informed of scheduled sub activity. He always checked in at the start of the day telling us what was happening that day, or week. What I liked and was impressed with, Kirk Development was the service before the sale. I was questioning about "line of site" on a web site and Nate with Kirk called me back, and explained what it meant and how to lay it out. He said he would come over and help me lay it out. I showed him a rough drawing I had made of what we wanted to do, He explained what I could and could not do, with city permit requirements, and he took the drawing back to his office and we set up a meeting and with a city ready drawing, and price that worked with our budget, we started. Both Nate and Don were very responsive to phone calls and questions I would recommend Kirk Development, and have to a few of our neighbors.

From start to finish, we could not be happier with Kirk Development Company. From the initial meeting with Gary Tomich, to the preconstruction meeting with Gary Tomich, Curt Armstrong and Don Hannah, and the completion of the project with Don Hannah supervising, the project could not have been handled more professionally. We are so happy with the final outcome! It turned out even better than imagined. We highly recommend this company and will not hesitate to hire them again for our next project.

I used Kirk Dev Company to remodel my entire kitchen and redo my living room and dining room about 2 years ago. They were friendly, professional and involved me in the entire process from designing my dream kitchen to working with suppliers. They were on schedule and kept within my budget. The results were fantatsic. I would definitely hire them again.

We had a small covered patio that was so poorly designed that rain would poor off the roof and all over the master bedroom windows and down the walls causing paint and stucco damage. Kirk Development engineered a new design that blended into the home so well that it looks like part of the original design. We now have more than doubled the size of our outdoor living area and have no drainage issues. They incorporated lighting, ceiling fans and extra electrical outlets for a built-in BBQ island. It is now a very useful and livable space. They have been so easy to work with that we are planning out our master bath remodel with Kirk Development.

Site crew were easy to work with and job foreman was on top on each aspect with recommendations the worked. Walls were repaired, wall boards and walls painted throughout first floor. Great installation of new electric fireplace.
