Welcome to our website! (Houses are not the only thing we build
!!)
We hope you can find answers to
your home repair and/or construction concerns here in these few pages.
It is our desire to be helpful and, at the very least, direct you to the
resources available and the answers you are looking for. We designed this
website in hopes of generating some good advertisement and provide a common
reference point to as much information about our services as possible. We would
sincerely love to do business with you and hope that you will give us a chance
to show you what we are about.
Our Mission
"To be the first name you speak when someone asks : Who
did your work?" (Standing out among the crowd of contractors and construction
types as your own genuine "inside contact" and professional service resource.)
Company Profile
We are "Kendig Remodeling & Construction" : A small
family owned and operated business, comprised of the Father: Doug Kendig, Four
Sons: Adam, Brandon, Jacob & Kevin, and a very dynamic wife who is also the
General Manager at KRC, Two fellow associates: James Raley &
Stephen Edwards, and several skilled subcontractors specializing in electrical
and plumbing repair or installation. This company is our way of life and
we concern ourselves with it. It is NOT a second sideline
operation. Each member of our crew has a vested interest in the outcome of the project in
some way... Our Subcontractors get paid when the project is finished and
the customer is satisfied.
We each stand ready to defend you and this industry in a
world full of tricksters and half-hearted business types ready to take your
money. We love this job. (How could anyone be good at a job they don't even like?)
We want your reference when you speak to others about us.
"Word of mouth" advertisement is the "Holy Grail" of successful contracting.
Quality will speak for itself in any business, but, when your clients repeatedly
point it out to their friends and neighbors... what is speaking is
"Truth", good or bad. We are in a tough business....
This business has a reputation that we need to overcome... We each accept
that mission.
Douglas Kendig is the CEO and
"HANDS-ON" field supervisor
for KRC, with over 25 years experience in the construction industry and professional
associations with more than 20 established businesses across the country in both
commercial and residential applications. Mr. Kendig is a Licensed General
Contractor and employs licensed subcontractors. He can be located most
days on site, hammer in hand. (See: "Resume" link))
Actual client referrals and references are available on the "Satisfied
customers" reference page of this website. (These people have graciously
agreed to open their homes to inspection and take calls related to previous KRC
projects. We trust your inquiries will not harm our ability to retain
these reference sources for all our clients. All our current and former clients are people we care
about. We are as proud of what they say about us as we are of what we did for
them.)
-from
the CEO@KRC:
Hello neighbor... I hope you find everything you need here to
make an informed decision as to which contractor you will go with on your next
project. Even if you do not choose KRC, I hope you will mention
that you were informed here about the things you should ask when you speak to
other contractors. I make it my business to watch them too. I know
many of them, and I know what they have been known to do on occasion.
Certain things you may not be aware of, you will learn at this website and you
will be more careful when you shop around... and by all means, please do shop
around... the more you do, the better informed you will become and
"THAT" is the kind of client I love to do business with.. (someone
who knows) ...and if you don't know.. well, that is my business too.
Turning your home into a construction zone is an inherently "stressful"
experience.. minimizing the stress is as important as the work we do and,
therefore, is a key part of the procedures we employ. So, here is
your first lesson in stress management: Shop around, become better
informed, leave nothing to chance and get your promises up front, because once
the job has commenced... a contractor can hold your life hostage, sap your
finances with hidden costs, make changes and cut corners you didn't approve, and
generally make a mess of what you "thought" was just a simple upgrade...
BEWARE OF THE UNLICENSED UNINSURED SCAMMERS !!! ...and, yes, when you are
better informed, I am confident you will return to make some serious inquiries
about such matters as scheduling, contract provisions, and insurance coverage.
The implementation of detailed designs, building inspections and permit fees are
(or should be) a part of any remodel or new construction project. A
materials list, a labor quote and some sort of guarantee is standard and you
should accept no less from any contractor.
I guarantee my
work. ...see you soon
- Doug Kendig
Contact Information
Serious inquiries only please... (We would like to KEEP our estimates
free)
Jennifer Kendig (General Manager) can be reached at
the office to take your message, answer any preliminary questions, or
schedule an initial project appraisal. Project appraisals are
performed on-site directly by Doug Kendig and usually produce an informal
preliminary estimate, followed-up with a formal written quote or a completely
documented project proposal, depending on the size and scope of your project.
(Yes, these are all free services within a 30 mile radius) out of
town inquiries requiring travel beyond 30 miles should expect a minimum $20.00 travel expense to appear on the Estimate
-due to increased fuel expenses and an additional $0.50 per mile over 30). If we
contract your out of town project, these expenses will be included/covered in the
final formal
quote. (See: "Company forms and documents" link)
If you wish to speak to Doug Kendig directly, you can call
the office and leave your call back info... he will return your calls as time permits.
Business office hours are from 8AM to 8PM (Monday through Saturday)
