We had Kerkman Construction build our home over 15 years ago. I can't impress enough what a beautiful, quality built home we have. It looks as good today as the day they finished it. We are currently having a 2.5 car garage being built by them 15 years later. The experience has been just as good as we expected it to be. Gary always has great ideas to make your initial concept even better than you imagined. Everything, from materials to the craftsmanship, is top notch. I wish more companies operated with as much honesty, integrity, and laser focused attention to clients' needs as Kerkman Brothers

Ken Kerkman built our house on Powers Lake and has made several renovations since, over the last 28 years we've lived there. We have been so very happy with all of the work that has been done. The quality of the work is excellent and it has always been a pleasure to work with him and his crew. I recommend this company and give them 5 stars!

We worked with Kerkman Construction on the design and carpentry work in our home. Ken's team of sub contractors were wonderful. We were able to work with them easily and they were flexible with what needed to be done.

We have worked with Kerkman Brothers for many many years. We have had a few homes services by them. They are always honest with what they are going to do with our house. All the projects that we have had completed have always been finished within the time frame they told us it would be done in.
