Report
David completed a renovation and alteration job at our property at the end of last year. Within two months of the job being completed we had 4 sizable leaks all directly above areas he worked on. When I called him to come out and have a look he did not want to come back and honor his workmanship guarantee, after having spends a very very large amount on Kirsten Construction I had to have other contractors out to fix it. Please see photos of leaks, I have many more photos and videos of the work that Kirsten Construction did for us.

Ms. Jodi Godfrey- I'm afraid that you posted your review to the wrong contractor's site. KERSTEN Construction, Inc., is an underground utility contractor in Gretna, NE, who installs water mains, storm & sanitary sewer lines in addition to manufacturing concrete manhole products. If you could kindly remove your review from KERSTEN Construction, Inc., we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

While Kersten does not offer the products or services that I was looking for, the lady on that answered the phone was extremely helpful and gave me four possible options of companies. I, being a non customer, was given excellent customer service. I can o ly imagine to what lengths they go to for cutomers. Five stars!
