KISTLER & KNAPP BUILDERS

Kistler & Knapp lined up a collection of outstanding subcontractors to tackle several pressing home projects for us. I was impressed with the prompt, professional and friendly communication with Doug and then with each of the subs he brought on board. The subs collaborated well with each other, did beautiful work and paid impressive attention to small details along the way!

Kistler & Knapp is one of the best builders in this area. They are able to maintain the highest quality workmanship while always being respectful of the clients needs and budgets. They do a wonderful job helping their clients navigate the confusing and sometimes overwhelming process of home remodel and construction. Working with K&K is alway a good experience as they work hard to have all the correct information and the site ready for us to be productive and efficient. I would highly recommend them for all range of projects.

Utterly fantastic. Unparalleled quality, cost control and practical advise. Kistler & Knapp has now built two luxury homes for me. The first (2010) was a beach house in Truro, designed by Hutker, but KKB was instrumental in making the design work on a practical level, suggesting improvements and worked hard to find cost efficient ways of doing some seriously complicated custom work. My second project (2017) was for them to build out a 3500 sq ft condo in raw space I purchased in a new condo/church development in Boston. There were few right angles, so again, a large amount of difficult design and build features to deal with, all while coordinating with the building developer, Boston city regs and demanding (i.e. very tight) tolerances. Throughout both projects, we never doubted that they had our interest in mind, and there was never a "good enough" attitude. They always wanted it done right, whether it was their work or a subcontractor's work. Their post-construction followup and availability on both projects has been as top notch as their work along the way. If I could go higher than 5 stars I would.

I am the owner at Argento Electric, LLC and we are fortunate to have worked with Kistler & Knapp builders for 10+ years. Over the past 10 years, we have been part of an exceptional team of contractors that KKB has put together. The level of quality and customer satisfaction is second to none. From their inside office staff, to carpenters, site crew, Home services department and project managers, they have a well oiled machine that continues to produce top level results. Look forward to many more years with KKB.

"Kistler & Knapp has successfully completed over twelve of Design Associates' historic residential addition, renovation and new construction projects over the past twenty years in Boston, Cambridge and the surrounding communities. Additionally, they have competitively bid many more Design Associates projects over the years as we are extremely confident in their ability to deliver yet another successful project for our clients. We can always count on Kistler and Knapp to bring a responsible and realistic approach to the comprehensive cost analysis of any construction project that will continue into the construction phase. You can count on their Principal/Project Manager/Site Supervisor team to establish a collaborative approach for working with the owner and the architect, bringing only the highest quality in construction and craftsmanship to our projects. We are always seeking out future collaborations with Kistler and Knapp and highly endorse their team."

Everyone at this company looks to develop career long relationships. They are complete professionals and are fun to work with on every level. Kistler & Knapp Builders puts out a product second to none regardless the size of the project. Once you have had a project done by them you become part of the KKB family.

I have worked for Kistler & Knapp for 20 years as a sub-contractor building chimneys and stone veneers. In my experience all the people that work for Kistler & Knapp are some of the best in the industry from the owners to the carpenters in the field. Kistler & Knapp's Quality and integrity is nothing but the best.

KnK IS such an amazing company. Also responsive, on-time and on budget! Phil is the BEST! I would def recommend anyone to hire them as you will be very pleased with the work!

We've used KKB on both new construction and renovation projects where they displayed professional and reliable and difficult workmanship. We've been pleased with all the results! From the small details to the big picture they anticipated projects needs and supplied value added engineering when appropriate. It would be difficult to find a more intuitive or competent group of individuals--they come highly recommended by architects, subs, homeowners, and neighbors alike. They are on time and on budget. They are excellent communicators. An added plus is the home maintenance division who stay on top of the details of required servicing of appliances, plumbing, electrical, painting and hvac needs. 5+ stars!

We are extremely pleased with the beautiful house that Kistler and Knapp built for us on Cape Cod. Right from the start, the team was high quality, organized, supportive, creative and experienced. Their solid relationships with subcontractors gave us confidence that we were getting the best value and quality for all services. They pay attention to detail and they did not finish the job until we were completely satisfied. We ended up in our Dream Home and we are so thankful to K and K!

This is in regards to a recent major project that is just about completed: new addition and renovation to existing house structure. After interviewing and researching construction companies for over one year, (recommended to us by our architects), and rejecting all of them, we met with K&K Builders and were impressed from the first meeting on. The professionalism with which we were met was beyond impressive, starting with the way two of the most senior company members introduced themselves, to the presentation of how a project is managed and operated by K&K. We have done previous major renovations to our house before, but never experienced such transparency in accounting and billing with any contractor or builder. Our project was assigned its own project manager on site: once the project started, the project manager was on site EVERY SINGLE DAY, all day, overseeing and orchestrating the work efficiently and expertly. The project manager himself who was on the premises from April 2016-December 2016, is one of the most professional, trustworthy and pleasant people we ever worked with. Every single sub contractor we worked with was outstanding in work ethics, work quality and professionalism. It is truly amazing to see that a construction company is able to operate at such an exalted level of attributes. We are beyond pleased and wish to shout our experience from the roof top. We are also available for direct contact if more information is needed. There are lots of bad stories out there in relation to builders and contractors, that is why we feel it is so important to share our experience.

Renee, Doug and the whole Kistler and Knapp team are amazing! We have done a huge project with them -a complete, 18 month renovation of a turn of the century home (2007-08) and many smaller projects since (2015 is most recent). All have been successful with superior craftsmanship, on budget, on time and with very good communications throughout the project management process. We hope to do more projects in the future and highly recommend Kistler and Knapp.
