I am extremely pleased with the response and proffesionalism of Outstanding Contstruction on a recent tile job we had done in our formal dining room. We are a Premier Senior Community which adds extra challenges to any job we contract out. It takes a special contractor to work in and around our community, Kirk and his staff were proffesional, couteous and above all, knowledgable in all facets of the job we wanted done. I appreciate it very much and look forward to contacting Kirk on future projects. Thank you.

Kirk constructed my salon from the ground up. He was very punctual, and finished when he said he would be finished. Most importantly he is very honest, which is a rare thing to find these days. No matter any job, I highly recommend outstanding contsruction, they truly are outstanding.

Kirk and his workers did an interior remodel and built a new two-car garage for me from January 2011 to July 2011. I am generally happy with the results. The house looks and functions much better than before, both the inside and the outside. I have already received positive comments from friends and neighbors.
I bought a 2-bedroom, 1-bath house in March 2010 as a foreclosure that needed work. The original detached garage was in bad shape. There was also a large patio awning that was falling apart. And the electrical system was a dangerous mess.
I found Kirk through craigslist and he had a link to this Thumbtack page. I called him and he came over to give me an estimate. He was enthusiastic about wanting the job, more so than the other contractors that came to my house. He said he would give me a new kitchen, master bedroom, master bath, laundry machine closet, and a garage for about what he would normally charge for just the garage. So I hired him to do the work.
He started with the interior work first. That lasted until the end of March. Kirk said he could do a couple more things inside for not much more money. I said okay so he remodeled the living room and fireplace. The remaining interior work was completed by the end of April.
Then he started on the garage. The original garage was not worth saving. So it was demolished and hauled away. He poured a new heavy-duty foundation and framed an oversized two-car garage with 510 square feet.
As the garage was nearing completion, he repaired the patio awning and fixed the perimeter fence. Most of the work was finished by the end of July.
Kirk's work is quite good and he did a lot of extras for me at his own expense. However I encountered some small issues with fit, finish, and cleanliness. I pointed out the problems and Kirk did fix most of them.
Although my testimonial is long, it is really just a brief summary of the work that spanned 7 months. If you the reader are curious, you can ask Kirk for my phone number. I would be happy to give you more details.– James

Kirk recently did some repair work and a parking lot asphalt repair/sealing for my apartment building -
Kirk's prices are very fair and he is extremely dependable; he provided updates every step of the way so that I always knew what was going on.
When bad weather struck near the end of the asphalt work his team put in the extra effort to reseal, clean up, etc. and finish the job properly– Vic

Kirk is an excellent construction person and such a great guy. We recently hired him to do some tenant improvements on a commercial space we were leasing. He not only worked really hard (and long hours) to meet our deadline, but he did a wonderful job as well.
He is a pretty practical person who gives great advice based on his experiences. There are a few things (like putting a door in a certain area) that I am very glad that I listened to.
Even though he had other jobs that needed his attention, he helped us move our stuff in and get settled. We were extremely lucky to have found him. He made our transition to our new space SO MUCH EASIER.
I will definitely use him for any and all improvements that I plan to do in the future. If, after reading this review, you have specific questions about his level of service, please email me. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing the services he provides.– Rakhi

Kirk and Pablo recently completed a driveway paver widening project for me. They dug out a small rose garden and transplanted the roses (and moved an exisiting bush for me) and matched and fixed some of the existing pavers. They came everyday at the specific time they said they would and job was done early and for the agreed upon price. I look forward to having Kirk do some additional projects for me.

Outstanding Construction and Hauling Services did an amazing job for us on our backyard.
We were looking to completely overhaul and transform our backyard from a concrete, unusable space to a patio and lawn area where our toddler could play.
Kirk of Outstanding Construction came up with a creative plan to accomplish what seemed to be a monumental task at the time. He and his team constructed our patio along with a retaining wall, lawn area, irrigation, and drainage. He also provided very helpful suggestions along the way and built a garden area and platform for our storage shed.
Although the project took longer than we expected to complete due to weather, we are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend Outstanding Construction and Hauling Services' to anyone.– Jas

Kirk, with Outstanding Construction, built an **incredible** custom side door for our home. He was able to take my concept and bring it to life even better than I imagined. The door looks fantastic, works great and we are VERY pleased with the work.
We had a slight problem with the door and Outstanding Construction came out quickly and fixed the problem at no additional charge. I'd highly recommend them.– Bobby
