Neil Kelly has a great reputation and I used them again because of good prior experience. This time, the experience was mediocre. It took many emails to set up a first appointment for an estimate. Two visits were required for the estimate. The handoff from the first person to the second wasn't smooth. The work was done well - the project mgr and carpentry were great. After the work was done, it took many calls and emails to get the final cost and payment information. Several calls and emails to the billing office were not returned. Emals to the project manager haven't been returned.
Great service and high quality work.
There was a time crunch with the expiring Federal Credits which caused some delays, but they got it done before the deadline and I am very happy with the product and install.
We have only begun this project. The men we have met with have been very professional and questions have been answered as needed. I will answer the questions that pertain so far.
The service did feel satisfying, but the communication could have been better. There were a few times that I tried to contact someone at the company and didn't hear back until I pestered or it had been several days.
Jeff was really patient and thorough with us and always picked up the phone!
good communication. quality work.
We’ve had two issues requiring “call backs” to fix errors. Both have been handled professionally. One remains open but I expect a good completion
Dave was the excellent carpenter who did the work at my house. He was skilled, polite and left the workspace very clean. Everyone else I dealt with at Neil-Kelly Portland was also excellent, from the original consultant Chris, to the project manager Wes to Monae in billing. Good communication overall, kept on schedule and the job was completed very quickly. Thank you!
I had a problem with rotting in the siding and trim on the south side of my house. The Neil Kelly consultant identified the problem areas and presented how they would fix them. I did not have the expertise to look at the wall and see subtle hints of areas that were rotting but the consultant did which I greatly appreciated. Communication was great between the project lead and myself as well as the lead carpenter and the consultant. Highly recommend Neil Kelly.
I got good help repairing a shower head section of bath tub because it leaked from a loose shower head. Wrapped in white tape stopped the leak. Then, a fellow from your organization replaced the 10 inch by 18 inch piece of plaster board, set in new plaster. I was given good instruction as to how to finish the plaster fill. Then, when it was dry, I was able to paint it to match the nearby wall, following tips by your painting fellow. So, based on this good service I'd be comfortable referring similar minor repairs to friends. You did this job for no cash payment, as it was in lieu of a gift of a no pay first step of a remodel job that I won in a drawing at the Eugene Executives Association, which Neil Kelly recently joined.
They did a good job and fixed everything that was scheduled.
Total attention to detail and follow-up. Met time table provided.
The overall experience left us extremely satisfied with the quality of work, the materials used, and the professionalism of all involved NK staff. The project turned out better than we anticipated and they turned a dated and useless ADU into a functional, attractive space. I would recommend them to friends and family without reservation.
The company did a full remodel of our house under the previous owner. That remodel was VERY WELL done and has stood up over the last 12 years. Everyone who comes into our home is impressed with the quality of craftsmanship.
This is why we selected Neil Kelly-Portland.
As expected, this project was completed beyond our expectations!
Reliable on all fronts, and I know that the project will be successfully completed to my satisfaction. I’m a repeat customer.
I really appreciate having NK be the overall manager of the different types of work involved in this complicated remodeling of one bathroom, part of another bathroom, and recarpeting stairs in an old house. NK checks out its trade partners well and communicates with them and me. I could not have tracked all this myself. To me this is well worth the additional cost. For instance, replacing an old shower/tub CANNOT be done easily or fast in old house. Damage was uncovered from how the original bathroom was built in the mid-1970s, damage that could not have been seen until tear-down. Not unexpected but you did a great job of fixing the old damage (dry rot, termite evidence) and ending up with a beautiful new bathroom, floor, vanity, modern toilet, etc. Replaced existing grab bars and added additional ones. You preserved a unique tiled alcove that provided indirect daylight to this daylight basement bathroom. The smaller amount of work in a different bathroom replaced a high dropped ceiling and translucent panels (bug catchers!) with clean simple ceiling, one ceiling fixture instead of 3 fixtures of 2 fluorescent tubes each.
The nature of the tear-down meant equipment vibrations loosened adjoining drywall. This was all secured well afterwards and repainted.
The different specialty crews were polite, friendly, professional, and competent. The demo and rebuild crew in particular went above and beyond in working long hours and sometimes late hours to do the task just right.
Your project designer worked hard to give me good suggestions for replacement items, some of which I resisted at first (like soft close toilet and soft close vanity drawers), but I then accepted and really like! He also gave a range of prices, for my sake. Your project manager also made good suggestions, including a combo grab bar/TP holder installed on the side of the vanity by the toilet. The rebuild crew added good reinforcement inside the vanity to support this. I think a lot of people of older age and mobility problems could use this.
Everyone we dealt with was extremely nice, they communicated well, and the craftsmen were very skilled.
The project is exactly what I expected from Neil Kelley.
It was a pleasure working with them.
We greatly appreciated the designers and engineers who worked closely with us to understand our needs, suggest the best solutions, helped us find the best appliances, and kept us up-to-date throughout the entire process. We also appreciated the amazing skill of the carpenter who put everything beautifully in place and the project manager who skilfully orchestrated the execution of the project.
From the first interaction we felt like we were getting honest and expert information. That continued all the way throughout our project.
NK is on the pricy side
Most of my friends are less in a position to hire contractors...
End-to-end solutions
Extremely professional. I would tell friends that while Neil Kelly is not the cheapest option, you get the quality and peace of mind that you pay for.
Any type of home repair is difficult and I'm aware of that. But this experience is not what I had hoped for. There is nothing horrific, but there is also nothing that would engage me to suggest this to anyone else.
Employees & Subcontractors - In terms of professional and courteous - yes for everyone.
Kind of obvious
They are always reliable.
We have used Neil Kelly services since 1982. Their representatives have always been responsible and pleasant to work with.
I would recommend on basis of previous experience with a number of other contractors. Absolute professionalism.
Neil Kelly provided excellent service, honest pricing, and kept us informed at every step of our home repairs.
I know there were a lot of moving parts but the install took a loooong time and I'm still waiting on final receipt of tax information and system manual.
Excellent work from first estimates to follow-up after installation. NK's price was basically the same as the other good outfits we asked for estimates, but their work and service truly have been superb. Good people, from sales to design, to installation, to follow-up.
the group kept me well informed. The work was done efficiently, professionally and with care to property.
Jason B. at Neil Kelly is extremely knowledgeable and helped us choose the perfect solar and battery solution for our home. We thought we knew what he wanted, but after talking with him we ended up with a far better solution. Once the project got started, the whole process was smooth and stress-free, with every potential hurdle quickly addressed to our benefit. Steph, our installer, was in constant communication with us so we never had to wonder or worry. Although we had 2 other bids that were cheaper, the expertise and experience of the entire NK team made the extra cost well worth it. We feel very confident in our solar+battery system, in the installation of it, and knowing that NK will be there for us in the future if any problems arise.
The touch-up job was professional and top-notch.
I highly recommend Neil Kelly-Portland for their fine workmanship and value.
Very experienced team of professionals that I worked with. Absolutely I will recommend NK to my friends and family. I'm very pleased with the team and the results of my kitchen remodel.
Very pleased with the experience
It was an excellent experience. They treated us brilliantly. They were professional throughout the project.
Overall, my experience was pretty good!
Larry Romick and his team have been very reliable with a number of projects my family (mother and brother) have needed to have done, most much more complicated than this one, and we've always been very happy with his/their work, and would recommend this company to others.
Several neighbors have inquired about my level of satisfaction with Neil Kelly and I've highly recommend them in each discussion
Quality is exceptional
Work was well done and completed on time
In every trade our project needed, they had expertise and reliability. And they were a joy to work with, personally. They always kept in touch with us, and were available for questions. Their initial estimates and expectations were accurate.
They were willing to work with my special needs in logistics and my limited ability to commute back to Eugene.
We have used Neil Kelly for many major remodeling projects during the last 2 decades, and we have also used their Handyman Services frequently. We are never disappointed in the professionalism of their contractors, the quality of the product and design choices, and their commitment to their warranties. Calls, texts, or emails are responded to in a timely manner, including on the week-ends, and we are always kept abreast of any changes, either in product or schedule, that occur. While it is always possible to get things done in a less expensive way, we have always chosen, and will continue to choose, to have it done properly with the services of Neil Kelly.
Great to work with. High quality work, very fair and honest. Great people.
