Pine Custom Builders, Inc.

Let me start by saying that Ken Pine, of Pine Custom Builders, is everything you would wish for and more when hiring someone to work on your home. I cannot say enough good things about him and the quality of work that he does. I would recommend him to anyone looking for home remodeling work and I will certainly use his services again. About 5 months ago, my wife and I decided it was time to remodel our 25 year old kitchen, a daunting task that is often times a very lengthy process filled with surprises. You feel as though you never really know what you’re getting into and what you’re going to get. The internet is filled with “horror stories” about remodels gone wrong. We got teamed up with a designer (A. Lynn Design - who was fabulous) to get some ideas and to start with a layout of what the new kitchen would be. After figuring out that we were going to “gut” the whole kitchen, we decided what our new layout was going to look like. We started looking at materials, cabinetry and appliances and it was also time to start looking for a contractor. We interviewed and received proposals from 3 contractors. All 3 had somewhat different business models, but immediately, we had a very good 1st impression of Ken and how his business works. He had also worked with our designer on previous jobs, which made us feel comfortable. I really like how he performs a majority of the work himself, and how he works with the same electrician and plumber every time, so he has a great working relationship with all parties involved. When we got to the money part of it, Ken’s bid was very competitive and extremely reasonable for the scope of work we were having done. Clearly, we ended up choosing Ken to help us with our Kitchen remodel. Ken came over a few times to meet with us and the designer prior to starting the job so we could go over all the details and placement and to make sure that everything we wanted to do was possible. He was at our house at 8am (as promised) for demo day, and he was there every morning thereafter at or just before 8am to get started. Let me reiterate, he was there every day…. We were his main priority and focus when it came to work. Ken and I would have a quick chat every morning discussing the previous day’s work, and what was going on that day and the next day. I am a very meticulous and detail oriented person, and Ken’s work met and exceeded my very high standards. Every step of the way he kept us informed and he delivered on exactly what he said he would do and more. The whole job, from demo day to delivery day, took 5 weeks which is incredible considering what we had done and the level of craftsmanship that was shown. It almost seemed like Ken was part of the family for those 5 weeks. He was there while we were getting the kids ready for school in the morning, he was in the house working all day, and he would clean up every evening before he left for the day. We felt very comfortable with Ken in our house, regardless if we were home or not. He is a very honest and trustworthy individual, as were all the people that worked with him. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled and are so happy that we selected Ken to build us our dream kitchen. As I stated earlier, if you are looking to have any type of home remodeling done, you need to give Ken Pine of Pine Custom Builders a call. You will not be disappointed. Steve & Beth G.

I have had the pleasure to work with Pine Custom Builders on a current project. I found Ken Pine and his team to be prompt, courteous, attentive to homeowners needs. Attention to detail, quality control, and perfection is part of their philosophy. Ken's knowledge and expertise is an asset to any size project from outdoor spaces, kitchen and bath remodels, to construction of custom homes. I have complete confidence recommending Pine Custom Builders to my clients.

My husband and I worked with Ken on the remodel of an in-law suite in the fall of 2014. The scope of work was extensive -- and Ken managed every aspect with a high level of professionalism and flexibility. We appreciated his ability to manage a large project (with multiple moving pieces) and still pay attention to the details. He was particular about the qualify of his work and very respectful of his workspace/our home. As well, he was attune to our overall style and needs for the space. Over the course of our project, Ken brought forth helpful design suggestions and was also willing to work to incorporate our recommended changes along the way. I look forward to working with Ken on other remodeling projects and highly recommend Pine Custom Builders.

Pine Custom Builders provides top notch work at a very fair price. Ken is dependable, professional and very good at what he does! He has remodeled our entire basement, our home office and our master bedroom in the past 2 years. I would recommend this business highly to anyone looking to remodel or build a home!
