FR Review:
Clients insist that "if you are lucky enough to interview the Zen Master" Tim Shilling of Kettleridge, "hire him ASAP!" Shilling's the secret, a "thorough, responsible and, above all, honest" contracting professional who "makes you feel wonderful all the time." With over twenty years experience retrofitting 100-year old homes, Shilling's expertise rests primarily in renovations, with a typical job starting at $500,000. He occasionally does new construction, often associated with additions. Shilling works closely with the client to maintain the spirit of the original home while pushing the boundaries of its potential. The firm works with architects from the get-go and wouldn't take a job without one.
A third-generation carpenter, Shilling worked in the union for ten years. He then helped build spec homes on St. Andrews golf course until he established the firm in 1988. Architects call Shilling a calm "little Buddha" who anticipates everything, while homeowners "never feel anything but happiness when talking to him." Shilling's small staff, which includes a working foreman, carpenters and subs "is overwhelmingly polite and considerate throughout the process" and "quickly responded (and continue to do so) to any questions or needs." All Kettleridge contracts are cost-plus.
Representative Client Comments:
"Tim must have the hugest ulcers, because he absorbs all the issues and never lets the clients know everything is anything but perfect--which he makes perfect." "Professionally, I work with many contractors and Kettleridge was the best I could have hoped for on my personal project." "Not many homeowners actually enjoy renovation, but with Tim and his outstanding foreman, Bob, we found it almost painless. They are incredibly organized, careful about costs with a can-do attitude and amazingly clean during demolition and construction." "There is no one like this man on earth."
