Kelsey Bowen says: „Charles and Kaphar Construction came very highly recommended to me by the company that installed my gutters. I had received a few estimates for a planned kitchen remodel in the last year, but had yet to meet one that heard and understood my vision much less one that offered services at a reasonable price point.
I contacted Charles to set up a consultation, and he was available within 48 hours and showed up on time. We reviewed my pinterest board and Charles was honest about what could and could not be done with the limits of my budget - and that open communication I immediately appreciated. Within another 48 hours I had an itemized estimate in my email that we ended up reviewing even further together.
It should be said that I work with out of state homeowners and contractors in my line of work, and I can say for certain that there are far more mediocre/poor contractors than there are good ones (unfortunately). For every homeowner that has had an honest and competent contractors that work with integrity, there are probably 3 or 4 that have been left with disappointment and extreme difficulty in getting problems resolved promptly. I can also say pretty confidently that large projects very rarely go exactly as planned without a single hitch. So I walked into this remodel a bit nervous.
Charles was great in pointing me in the right direction to pick out my colors, my materials, my accents - and was constantly making on-point recommendations. I had a bit of a stall out with our backsplash, and he did his research and texted me photos trying to get me out of the rut and find a solution that fit our aesthetic - for the record, his ideas were better than anything that I was coming up with on my own.
We took the kitchen almost down to the studs - all new everything. And the space is a traditional gully kitchen, pretty small, with minimal floor space to work with. I explained that we cook every meal from home and I really needed more room to be able to do that. We also entertain very often and I dreamed of being able to have more than 2 people in the space at a time, comfortably. We worked on the specifics for the cabinets and countertops (the two most important things to me) a TON prior to pulling the trigger, and Charles was great at trouble shooting different ideas for the most efficient use of the space.
All of the workers I encountered were super pleasant - Miguel is a SAINT.
Again, I've worked with literally hundreds of out of state contractors and home owners in my career - and the nightmare is not necessarily that something goes awry, the nightmare is that you get stuck with a contractor that doesn't want to fix it. And I had the complete opposite experience with Kaphar. And that is the thing that confirms that Kaphar is a wonderful company, the way they respond when things don't go perfectly... a smudge in paint, a tile that looks a little wonky... this is all the normal stuff that will almost always happen when human hands are involved, especially when you're working in a small and old space. Anytime I had a concern and something wasn't to my liking, Charles and the Kaphar staff not only made it right quickly, but made it right with a smile - a dream!
I was so thrilled with our kitchen - I had them do some drywall work at one of my rental properties - a few weeks later we remodeled our mudroom/laundry room with them - a few weeks after that I had them install a new front door. We also have tentative plans with Charles to install a large customized bookcase wall in the dining room as well (small homes need smart storage solutions and Charles is great at that!)
I have gotten so many compliments on our kitchen - comfortable but modern, clean but lived in - exactly what we worked so hard to achieve. People simply cannot believe it's the same kitchen. I have referred Kaphar to friends and family members and will continue to do so. The value (meaning, the quality and price point) cannot be beat - I am so grateful (and honestly, relieved!) to have found a reliable contractor in my home state...“ Show more
