To the Selection Committee,

I highly recommend Kendall Construction for any construction projects. My experience with Kendall Construction has been extremely positive. They consistently demonstrate a dedication to collaboration, success, and exceeding expectations.

One aspect I particularly appreciate about Kendall Construction is their commitment to meeting project deadlines. They take immediate action, starting with demolition, to ensure that momentum is built early on in the renovation process. I have never encountered a situation where Kendall Construction failed to deliver a project on time.

Many of our projects together have required phased construction and protecting the building users while construction is taking place in one portion of the building. In addition to their experience with phased construction, they are also well-versed in working with fire marshals and implementing necessary safety precautions. This is particularly important in projects involving schools, where the safety of students and staff is of utmost importance. They understand the importance of collaboration and communication with all stakeholders involved to ensure a smooth construction process and minimal disruption to building users. With their experience and adaptability, they can effectively navigate complex situations and make necessary adjustments to the construction plan as needed.

In addition to their construction expertise, David and Tanner are excellent communicators. They effectively convey information and ideas, making the collaboration process smooth and efficient. They are dedicated to providing not only a lower cost but also full value to their clients. Kendall Construction emphasizes fairness, honesty, and keeping their word throughout their interactions.

Furthermore, working with the Kendall team is a pleasure. They are a fun and easygoing team that knows how to balance professionalism with a positive attitude. Kendall is well respected among the best local subcontractors who also know that well managed projects by Kendall go smoother. They do not nickel and dime their clients for every little modification, but instead work together to make necessary adjustments for the betterment of the project.

You’d be lucky to have them on any of your projects.
