Site Preparation Contractors

“My wife and I hired Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling to build an addition onto the back of our house, which included a new kitchen, family room, patio, mudroom, and other modifications to the interior. From the start, I was very impressed with Keith’s preparedness and diligence. He created a very detailed and transparent budget (approximately 10 pages), which outlined each item to be done and the price. More importantly, his estimate was accurate, and the prices that we agreed to did not change throughout the project. Keith is also very hands-on. He was on-site every day during the project. He is extremely responsive by email and phone, and if I emailed him a question while I was at work, within a very short period of time, I would receive a response. He was also available on weekends to meet with me, which was more convenient for my schedule. The workmanship of Kling Brothers Builders is top notch. Their on-staff carpenters are excellent, and their subcontractors are all superb. I did not have any issues with shoddy work or questionable characters walking around my property or in my house. Keith is very diligent about the “structure” and integrity of the building, and takes pride in how well built and solid the “bones” of the project are. Although I am not a builder myself, you can just tell that something is well put together by looking at it. Keith stresses quality and perfection, and was not satisfied until we were satisfied. He has access to some of the best craftsmen in the area, and in particular he introduced us to a custom cabinet maker who created a showcase kitchen for us. His other subs, such as the electrician, the plumber, etc., were all personable and flexible. All in all, we were very impressed and happy with Keith Kling. Although my wife and I are reasonable, we also have very high standards. Given the size of our project (to us), we expected top service and attention. Keith came through with flying colors, and he was very friendly, personable, and professional throughout. I have no tolerance for service providers who do not do what they say or make you feel as though you are doing them a favor by giving them your money. Keith is certainly not one of those people. Our project came in on budget, and any additional work that I wanted done was communicated and agreed-to up front. There were no surprises and the communication between Keith and us could not have been better. I give Kling Brothers Builders/Keith Kling my highest recommendation. I hope to use them again on a future project.”

“My wife and I looked at a possible site to build our dream home and called Tim, amongst many architects, to get an initial view. Tim saw the site and after knowing our needs, gave us a fair idea on what we could build there before we even formally engaged. During the design process, Tim was our partner, guide and mentor and made us feel that we are designing the house and not him as if we are Jr Architect. We built a 8,000 sqft home on hill side lot. Tim's knowledge on structural, civil, sound proofing, lighting, interiors were instrumental in getting us what we wanted. His work was so thorough that we had no comments or clarifications from the building department which not only helped us expedite our building permit but also allowed us to get fair bids from the prospective builders as the specs were clearly laid out. Even during the construction process, he made various suggestions to keep our project within budget, coached us on how we should negotiate with the builder and suggested various alternatives to our requirements. We strongly recommend Tim to anyone who is contemplating building a luxury custom home. His vision, attention to details and knowledge about the subject is exceptional”

“My wife and I used EBA to design the renovations and addition to our home. Having never been through the process before Eric made it very comfortable and enjoyable. He really managed our expectations through the process. We had no idea home much work went into the preparation for construction. My wife and I highly recommend EBA as an architect. We will use him again on our next project a few years down the road.”
