We hired Cerletti and Kennedy for our full kitchenremodel and deck addition this year. We were very happy and satisfied with the service and outcome of work they have provided. I would say that Robert and Matt are consummate professionals and I would recommend them for their quality and excellence in the field.

C&K were great to work with throughout the entire home renovation process. During the design phase, Matt listened to what I wanted/needed and also provided helpful feedback. The actual construction was very efficient and went smoother than expected. Robert kept me updated and had great follow through until every last thing was completed. Ruben and team were also great to work with on a daily basis.

Cerletti & Kennedy Design-Build stepped in to complete my kitchenremodel post teardown. They created all the documentation needed and handled the permit process. The work was carefully and thoughtfully handled. I could not have asked for more. They really got me out of a tough situation. I highly recommend them.

Cerletti and Kennedy are the great balance of design-creativity and project management time/cost execution. Their kitchen design team came up with solutions to design challenges like maximizing storage in a small space while keeping it accessible through close partnering with suppliers. On the build side, the project moved steadily to completion with regular updates without me having to ask. The inevitable hiccups were brought to my attention right away and addressed usually within a few days. Most important to me was the craftsmanship and attention to fine detail of the construction team. Kitchen projects are stress inducing but C&K understood that and their experience helped keep things moving forward.
Cerletti & Kennedy Design-Build's reply

Thank you!
FAQs
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
With decades of experience, we find the commonest problem in home remodeling and additions is lack of design and management. Trades experience is important, but a poorly designed and managed project is bound to fail. Check references, check references, check references. Verify licenses and insurance are in good standing.
