In today's time it's hard to find a company you can do business with on a hand shake and their word. Key Residential is one of those rare folks that still do what they agree to....with or without it being written down on paper. In our opinion, the cost of our project was truly a value considering the amount of work performed. What a pleasure to have worked with them and an honor to have gotten to know both Keven and Katie. We would highly recommend them for any residential construction needs.
This was our second condo renovation and we have had 4 custom build houses. This experience was one of the best.
Key Residential provides high quality, organized & friendly services.
Key Residential is without question the best of the best! Kevin Key & his crew have done work for us several times & we always are very pleased. We highly recommend Key Residential. The honesty & integrity of this company is absolutely outstanding!
Areas Of Satisfaction - We are extremely satisfied in ALL areas. Kudos to Katie Lynch & Evan Ratcliff. They both work very well together. We are also extremely pleased with all of Key Residential's subcontractors. Thanks, Kevin, for all you do & for surrounding yourself with the best of the best!

Areas Of Satisfaction - The customer service and communication are excellent. The work was all done in a very professional manner and the Project Manager made sure everything was done to satisfaction - and even above satisfaction.
Additional Comments - We could not have been happier or more satisfied with Key Residential. They are an excellent run company, conduct their business in a fair and honest way, finish a job when they say they will and execute well. Their work is top-notch and they have made our house feel like a home to us by meeting all of our needs. We would definitely recommend them.
Areas For Improvement - I am not sure if there was anything they could have done, but the project seemed to take much longer than we originally thought. We will certainly take some blame for that as we changed a few things during construction.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The attention to detail and communication was outstanding. Kevin was accessible any time we needed him and he spent a lot of time on the property. Kevin and his staff made every effort to keep us informed and involved in the whole process.

Lead Source - Key Residential was referred to me by my eldest daughter. They completely redid her home, and they have been so satisfied and pleased with it.
Additional Comments - They agreed to the job that I wanted done. I said I didn't want them to come unless they were prepared to finish within a limited time. They did that, and in fact they finished a week early. The price was certainly what they said they would do the project for.
Areas For Improvement - None. Kevin Key makes sure that the homeowner is satisfied with every aspect of the project. He has high expectations of himself and his work. It shows in all areas of the project.
Areas Of Satisfaction - From the first meeting to the last one, Kevin Key clearly understood what we wanted and followed through on everything. He is always readily available for any questions, is on site everyday to oversee all aspects. With Key Residential, details are everything, communication is regular. No surprises with this company in any way. All subs are A+. Kevin organizes every detail, is first on the job site, last to clean and lock up. Kevin takes utmost care of the home as the project goes along. Outstanding company in every way. Because of Kevin's vast experience in the building industry, he gives valuable,practical,suggestions, if asked. He works together with designers and all subs in order to create a beautiful and highly functional space. His subs are the best in the business, highly professional, courteous. Kevin has much experience with historic house remodels. We trusted him completely as we listened to him and saw his website.
Customer Suggestion - Excellence is Kevin Key's first priority in every respect. Detailed attention to every aspect of our big kitchen/ breakfast room/ utility room remodel is what he is all about.

He has made a large remodel very easy for this home owner. Mr Key takes care of all the details so that the desired product is deliverd to the homeowner.

Thank you Mr Key for making our dream remodel become reality.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was very satisfied that the work was done professionally and efficiently.
Additional Comments - They did really great work!
Expertise - My project required engineering that other contractors designated "impossible." Instead of "impossible," Kevin and his team saw my requirements as an opportunity to excel. And they did excel. After having lived in the results through two surgeries, I can safely say that Kevin not only understood my desire for an "aging in place" master suite, but made it even more functional and beautiful than I had thought was possible.
Professional & Organized - After having heard so many horror stories about contractors behaving badly, I really hit the jackpot with Kevin and his associates. No inquiry, no request for explanation was ever too small for Kevin to provide an immediate and thorough response. He always kept in touch by phone, email, and text. I always knew what was going to happen and when.
Trust - Trust is a real issue with me. I don't have the time or the inclination to deal with people I don't trust. When Kevin told me he would do something, I didn't obsess over making sure he followed through -- he always did.
Areas For Improvement - Absolutely none. I was happy with the entire process (quite extensive) and am thrilled with the results.
Areas Of Satisfaction - There were two things I wanted to accomplish with this project: (1) to be able to maneuver around my house without the assistance of others for as long as possible and (2) a space (particularly the bathroom) that would not only be low maintenance, but beautiful. Kevin thoroughly explored, scoped, and explained the renovations that would be needed in order to make that happen. Coming from an family of engineers, I very much appreciated all the engineering aspects of what went in to this project -- from x-raying the floor to ensure the post tension slab would not be compromised when he re-routed the plumbing to ensuring the exact slope needed to the exact location of the drains so that I could have a curbless shower. It really was a masterful engineering job.
Additional Comments - Kevin is a pleasure to work with. Very smart, very organized, very trustworthy. Great communication skills. You don't often see all that in one package now. I consider myself lucky to have found him.
Areas Of Satisfaction - We had some stuff that was being done, and they found some areas that they could save my money and even gave suggestions for the roofing that helped me come out ahead.
Lead Source - They were subcontractors 12 years ago on my house, and I had enjoyed the work that they did.
Additional Comments - They are the most honest and professional people I have ever worked with. Key Residential is truly my favorite.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Timing of work being completed,courtesy and professionalism of evan Kevin and their sub contractors
Areas For Improvement - We are still working with Key Residential. The project is not quite complete. They are outstanding! I have worked with them before and would recommend them to anyone and have. They have not fallen short of any of my expectations.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I am completely satisfied with the Key Residential experience. They are outstanding to work with...they keep their word, they have high integrity, they have impeccable skills, they are very timely, they respond quickly, and they do what they are asked to do and more.
Lead Source - We have known Kevin Key since before he started the company and worked with him prior to when he was with another company. We would refer him to anyone for their contracting needs.
Construction Quality - 5! They're great. I've used Key for seven years on and off. We did a major renovation project back in 2006. They added 4000 square feet, and it is beautiful. Last year we used them for a project, and right now they are painting and working on some other projects. They are extremely professional and gracious. I wouldn't use anybody else. They are great. When my husband started getting migraines, I asked them to pause the painting work, and they did so without complaint.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I am most satisfied with the staff. Kevin and Evan are warm, personable, and professional. They'll come at any emergency. They have a great group of people working for them. They are all good.
Lead Source - We heard about them through my husband's business partner.

Likely To Recommend - We have recommended them several times already. You can tell how impressed we are with Mr. Key. He's a gentleman and a scholar.
Lead Source - My wife is the one who found them, I believe through another company that both the painter and Mr. Key had worked for before. We also had recommendations from lots of people.
Additional Comments - We made lots of friends, including Mr. Key himself. He and I are very good friends and can discuss things forever if we had the time, but he's become a very busy man, and that's good. I hope he can continue his attitude as long as he works. We will definitely call the painter when we have a big job and Mr. Key when we have a smaller job in the painting business.

Lead Source - I was referred by a friend.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The craftsmanship and attention to detail were very satisfying.

TriStar was great. I used them for painting and installing carpet in my new house. They were on time, courteous, and overall a great experience. I plan on working with them again in the future.
There was a bubble in the ceiling upon job completion, they came back to fix it since it has a one-year warranty. However, the bubble is still there. Things look slightly different than I had anticipated them looking. However, if that is the best quality I can get, then so be it.
Could not be more pleased with the overall experience. David was so professional and personable also. His crew did a GREAT job!😊
Responded imediately and was at my house in less than 24 hoursn
