Kyle and his team designed an addition onto my house for me. Kyle did a fantastic job laying out the floor plans, provided cost saving information, and orchestrating a flawless and efficient build. I could not be happier with the finished product and the time and care he put into this project both while constructing it and following up on the outcome weeks later.

We love our KJ Home! Jana helped us create the custom floor plans exactly the way we envisioned them. Kyle was very detail oriented throughout the whole build process and was also very open with us on what things would cost which helped us make decisions on what we wanted in our home. He let us do some of our own work like creating all the metal work and even helped us install the antique beams in the living room. We have been in our home close to a year and they continue to keep in contact with us and stand behind their product. One of the main reasons that we decided to choose KJ Homes for our
