After a long process of meeting with multiple GCs, we chose the Kusalos to take on our home remodel in 2018. We knew right away they were trustworthy, friendly people who care about their work and their reputation. This husband and wife team work together very well. The lines of communication were always open and we kept a standing appointment every week to work through each and every detail together.

This was the most important factor in the success of our project. If something happened to be even slightly off from our plan or discussion, John swiftly corrected and made sure we were happy before moving onto the next phase. He and his team worked around our schedule and made sure everything was buttoned up. The Kusalos stand by their work and they are great people.

In the tense and frantic world of kitchen and home remodeling, you can breathe a sigh of relief with Kusalo Construction. This was one of the most enjoyable remodel experiences I have ever had. John and his crew are true professionals. We had our kitchen remodeled, along with some additional electrical work, etc. John and his assistant were there every single day, all day, getting it done. They are extremely clean and very thorough. John and his wife, Diana, work together as a team to insure you are satisfied and have a high quality end product. Diana helps with design and will go with you to pick out tile, etc. John is fantastic at electrical and tile. He can do it all. A wonderful experience!

We are now completing a very extensive remodeling project that took several months, and we are so happy that we chose to work with John! We found that there are several things that set him apart:
1. Unlike most contractors, he actually works alongside his crew. That means he has lower overhead, and his bid was very competitive.
2. He's on site almost all the time and not just checks in occasionally.

He's on top of everything 100% and you can discuss with him any requests and issues immediately as they come up.
3. He excels in framing. John was able to execute some unique and unusual details that require clever framing solutions and excellent finishing abilities.
4. We were able to continue living in the house throughout the remodel, even though the entire house was being worked on. This is huge as it saved us tons of money.

It certainly wasn't easy to basically live in a construction zone, but John managed to plan the work in such a way that made it doable. He made sure we had at least one working bathroom at all times, shifted the improvised kitchen around as needed, and cleaned up after each day.
5. John and his wife are both very pleasant people and it was a pleasure working with them!
