Jonne did an outstanding job helping with the design and follow up.
I've used Neil Kelly- Portland on my home for more than 30 years. I am always happy.
They were very organized, with a clear process for moving forward. Work was done well and on time. Overall, an excelent experience.
Excellent job repairing our kitchen cabinets
Excellent communication, craftsmanship and care.
Always more than satisfied with NKC. Large jobs or tiny ones, they treat each the same. Yes, have recommended.
I usually don’t make recommendations not knowing other people’s expectations . I would let people make their own judgement by looking at the quality of our finished project.
High quality workmanship, straightforward and honest craftsmen, couldn't ask for anything better
This is the third project and second Handyman service we have worked with NK. They have been great providing realistic job estimates and helping us scale back the projects to get within our target budget.
Design staff was removed. We removed items husband could do, was credited back from contract. Design manager was very good.
The communication and responsiveness for our tiny project made the whole thing a breeze
The Neil Kelly team was wonderful to work with. Their high level of expertise, their willingness to listen to our ideas and the fact that they handled all of the details made it well worth the cost.
The Neil Kelly employees and their subcontractors are a kind, respectful, and professional team that gets the job done!
Carpenter explained each step in a most impressive strategy
Not only are we likely to recommend Neil Kelly, we have already done so. Currently, Neil Kelly is working on a project because of one of our recommendations.
Quality work, very good communication, leave work areas clean when finished for the day.
I chose Neil Kelly for their design/build capabilities, and I was aware of their reputation, commitment to the community, and its history in the northwest. After 32 years, it was time to update my “dated” kitchen and two bathrooms.
I am extremely satisfied and pleased with the completed project.
Neil Kelly helped us with the design, was very organized and flexible and results were very good.
Faster time frame from initiation to completion.
Without expecting a dollar by dollar breakdown, I would have liked a better understanding of how the choices we made were reflected in the overall cost. For example, we were told simply that Corian was "much more" expensive than a quartz countertop. When we checked an independent online source, they appeared to be comparably priced. Similar lack of more precise information on cost for materials for which we couldn't readily get independent cost estimates because Neil Kelly seemed to prefer a particular supplier. On the otherhand, it was helpful to have Neil Kelly narrow the choice of suppliers.
I'm on the Neil Kelly Board of Directors. I retired from Neil Kelly 5 years ago after 45 years. I know the integrity and quality of the people and the work. I know the follow-through and know the high value of Neil Kelly's warranty. I would not use anyone else. I trust Neil Kelly to tell me the truth and give me options if available. Neil Kelly has told me not to do a solar project because it won't be a good investment for me. They honor my budget for projects and work within what I have to spend.
Although not using the template and stars, I would like to offer a hopefully constructive suggestion.
I would consider adding two specialized consultants, one an expert in lighting and the second an expert in building and the environmental sciences. Prospective clients might welcome well-informed direction about which building materials and practices are most healthy. Other clients may be uncertain of the effect of various colors to be installed in their unique context and appreciate the guidance of a lighting designer.
I think that a resource like this might complement the work of the talented staff while adding depth to NK's already considerable repertoire of skills.
We have had Larry Romick do our remodeling several times over the years. He is always as close to on-time and on-budget as is possible. When it is not possible, he gives clear reasons for increased cost or delay and estimated corrected time and/or cost. He has pointed out several times how we can save money. We have and will continue to recommend him and Neil Kelly. This sounds like a paid ad but it isn't. We just like working with this company.
I believe I filled out a survey for you about a week or more ago; please recheck; did you not receivd it?
Yes, likely to recommend, with the understanding that NK will cost a bit more, may run slightly behind/make a few random mistakes but will do everything to a complete and do a wonderful job overall.
Communication with Neil Kelly was an issue throughout our project. Fortunately, that was the only real snag we hit. Their subcontractors were fantastic and did a great job. However, compared to other options in town, their pricing wasn't competitive and we would have saved money working an independent contractor instead.
First, communication with me was superb, and the designers, managers an workers were always checking to see if I was satisfied with the work.
We are very happy that we chose Neil Kelly for our bathrooms remodel. They were very professional - organized, clear communicators, helpful with ideas, and treated us and our home with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend their services!
Very professional "handyman" named Bob who listened to the needs and got right to work fixing a variety of projects
Has nothing to do with you. We're very satisfied with the job and the work, and we'd tell anyone who asks. Recommendations are not my thing.
The design process with Jonne Vandehey was done very professionally and helped us determine what we wanted in the selection of materials. The scope of work and contract were very clearly defined and the work was executed consistent with the defined scope.
We’ve used Neil Kelly for many projects over many years and have always been extremely pleased with their services and workmanship.
Having used Neil Kelley for many projects over the years, they are the first and only people we call because their work is impeccable and completed as described in their contract.
Yes. Without hesitation or reservation.
Need improved communication between team members
We felt that we finally found someone we could trust.
We recommended NK to friends after the first project, and will certainly continue to do so.
I have a kitchen and a master suite redesigned by NK, most recently I used their handyman option. I trust them to do the job right the first time and, if they have a hiccup, they fix it.
Neil Kelly is Oregon’s premier remodeler. Others may be good, some may be cheaper, but if you are hoping for a construction experience that leaves you with no regrets, Neil Kelly is truly in a class by itself. When I recommend Neil Kelly to a friend, I know they will experience the highest level of design expertise, quality workmanship, and professional communication. At the end of the day, no one is as good as Neil Kelly at reducing the unavoidable anxiety of a major remodel.
Our experience with Neil Kelly during a major kitchen renovation confirms them to be a highly professional group. The rigorous planning process and meticulous attention to detail resulted in a finished project that met and exceeded even our high expectations. Marty & Carol E, Waterfront Pearl Condominiums
Neil Kelly has quality work and is dependable.
The finished remodel is beautiful. There were lots of little problems and decisions along the way and each one was addressed and solved.
Neil Kelly-Portland does great work. They were on time and professional.
Our experience with Neil-Kelly was exceptional from beginning to end. They transformed the miniscule kitchen and bath in our 120 year-old house into beautiful and useful space. Their expertise and professionalism were outstanding. We especially appreciated their readiness to accommodate us when we needed to make scheduling changes. I would recommend them highly without reservation (and have done so.)
We've used Neil Kelly before. They are consistently reliable and provide excellent work. We trust and value their work.
Significantly improved how we live in our house.
Robby Barham was our designer and we were really pleased with his design ideas and solutions for our galley kitchen. Robby was attentive throughout the design process to address our requests and needs. He provided several thoughtful and artistic options with budgets and with his help, we chose the best design solution that we will appreciate for years to come.
Project Manager, Spenser Boeck and his assistant, Zoe Pressly, inspired confidence throughout the entire project. Their planning and communication skills were excellent. They provided timely response and solutions to unforeseen issues that showed up during the project, which always resulted in a positive outcome.
Master carpenter, Ram and his assistant, Knoll, showed attention to details in their craftmanship and work. Ram had the ability to anticipate challenges with our older home, and always developed solutions for implementation of the design plan. Both Ram and Knoll were friendly and easy to work with.
Wonderful to work with the Neil Kelly team. They installed handicap access in the guest bedroom and bath which does not look obviously handicap… Also completely removed dry rot and reinstalled two difficult wood windows and redid a deck with new doors off the master bath to the deck. We are very happy with their professionalism and their addressing every concern we had to our satisfaction.
Would not hesitate to recommend to others
We would and have recommended NK quite often to neighbors and friends.
