TESTIMONIALS
Matt Knutsen has done quite a bit of renovation work for us during the past few months, including bathroom remodeling and conversion of a porch area to an entry with a mudroom, as well as a number of smaller projects. We are very pleased with all of the work he has done for us, and plan for him to do additional renovations for us in the near future. Matt has proven to be a very talented and dependable contractor, with a wide range of skills and an excellent work ethic. It's obvious that Matt takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of the finished product. He also has knack for finding innovative solutions to difficult or unusual problems, which has been very helpful in remodeling our older house. Overall, Matt is very easy to work with and has gone out of his way to accommodate our needs. He has really taken the anxiety out of home renovation for us. We highly recommend Matt without reserve.

Matt is a talented individual; who understands a broad range of home repair and remodeling tasks. He also knows how to design and fabricate items usings metals. While these are certainly valuable skills, several other traits make Matt someone you should particularly consideer using for your project.
​

He does work as though it is for his very own home and really does care that you are totally pleased with the end results. Matt is very devoted to his family and that same mentality clearly spills over to the relationships that he builds.
​

Matt has done several jobs for me; rebuilding a large deck and stairs which were in very bad shape, remodeling my kitchen, building a wood shed, adding windows and creating shelf space in my closets.
​
In planning these projects Matt has always taken the time to understand exactly what I had in mind, make helpful suggestions and find a way to complete the job the way I envisioned it. Matt is hard working, punctual, tidy and an excellent craftsman. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

To anyone who needs a good carpenter, Matt is the guy. We had been trying to get someone to build us a porch over our back door for a few years now, and I think that it was too small of a project that they didn't want to bother with. A friend from work told us about Matt, so I called him and he came out right away, listened to what we wanted and said "no problem" and he built us a great porch roof that blended in to our existing house roof. He also added a lean-to with metal roofing on o the side of our garage which was also great. And when the weather gets dryer this spring-summer he will be building us a porch with full length steps the majority of the length of our house. I am really excited for that. Matt is very good with helping on ideas and he is very dependable. When he says he will be there, he is, or he calls to let you know what's going on.

I contacted Matt Knutsen of KCK Custom Builders regarding a significant remodel to a modest, but very special house that was built by my grandparents in 1950. My wife and I had already remodeled much of the house ourselves; but we realized that in order to complete the remaining steps in a reasonable timeframe, we would need to call in reinforcements. Specifically, I wanted to do some exterior renovations and convert the garage into a master bedroom suite and laundry room.
Matt prepared his bid much more meticulously than most contractors. While this required us to be more proactive in choosing the level of finish on some things, it resulted in an accurate bid with no overruns. My decision to go with Matt was based partly on our confidence in the completeness of his bid, and partly on having seen his work on a couple of commercial projects.
Regarding quality—let me say that as an aircraft structural engineer, I have worked in a world where failure to do a job properly results in a smoking hole in the ground and lots of body parts. In the past, I’ve had much aggravation from subcontractors whose. quality of work didn’t even match what my wife and I have done ourselves as rank amateurs. Matt’s background in high-end custom homes enables him to choose consistently good subs, and the few glitches that occurred were dealt with quickly and pleasantly.
Those glitches are a reality of any significant construction or remodel, and one thing that sets the good contractors apart is how they deal with them. Often, a contractor will attempt to wave off things that “just don’t seem right” and try to convince the customer to just live with it. Not so with Matt. Any concerns we had were dealt with courteously and promptly, and Matt was very proactive in making certain that we were happy with the results.
One other observation…many construction crews I’ve had in the past seemed to enjoy marking their territory with cigarette butts and empty Monster cans. This was never a problem during the time that KCK was on my site; which is something that I greatly appreciated.
With all that, we ended up with a beautiful remodel job that was exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend KCK Custom Builders to anyone looking for a high-quality construction or remodel job done right.
