All reviews for Kolar Construction Co

We had a great experience with Kolar construction. Jake came out and took a look at the property, listened to what we wanted, and gave us a quote for our deck very quickly.
Once we agreed upon the cost and material selection the Kolar team did a good job letting us know when they could get our job on the schedule, and when the time came they got the job done in a couple of work days.
Everyone on the team was a professional and was respectful of the property. We would definitely work with Kolar again in the future.

Kolar did the LVP flooring and carpet install on our new addition and I am very happy with the outcome. Their work is fantastic and they were very easy to work with.

We ended up having numerous issues with our flooring supplier who incorrectly ordered materials (Kolar sent the correct amounts so this was not their fault). I was very impressed with the communication and commitment to getting the work done. What seemed like a relatively easy two day project turned into multiple trips over 4 weeks as we had to wait on materials to show up. Kolar was extremely prompt in scheduling work as the materials came in so we didn't have to wait any longer than necessary.

Jake's team was good and got the job done. After a long time trying to find the right contractor I was referred to Jake and after meeting him I felt like I was dealing with a professional who could get me what I wanted within the budget I had to work with. Now my 1917 St. Paul home has a functional addition with an entryway I can actually use and a main floor bedroom large enough for a modern setup. Jake was always quick to respond whenever I reached out and kept me up to date on who was coming over and when to work on the house. I would recommend him to anyone needing work done on their home.

We had the pleasure of working with Jake and his crew for our new deck install. Wow, what a great experience, from start to finish! I met with Jake to start the drawing plans, and he got back to me almost immediately with the layout and cost estimate. Jake was great about communicating with me on the timeline for the project as well. The crew did a great job maintaining the area they were working in and made sure when they were done for the day that there wasn't a huge mess laying around. They also didn't mind all the extra eyes watching them constantly! 🤣We are extremely happy with the quality of work and would highly recommend Kolar for any deck plans. Thanks again, Jake and team!!

Jake and his team are awesome. He reboarded our old deck and added new rails and stairs, and then he turned our screened-in porch into a 4-season porch. His team are polite, were always on time and didn't leave any mess. Jake is super responsive - any questions I had, he'd respond to me immediately.

For the screened-in porch, we really didn't know what we wanted, but Jake provided lots of suggestions. He installed a huge sliding glass door and three new windows - it really transformed the room. The quality of work is excellent too - big thanks to Mike who did a lot of the finish work.

Jake's pricing was transparent and very competitive. There were no surprises with the final invoice.

Although we originally found Jake when looking for deck builders, I'd recommend him for any construction work you need. I'll be calling him soon for the next project.

Strongly advise looking elsewhere if you want quality work done. Manufacturer installation specifications were an afterthought for Kolar Construction. Hired Kolar to install Azek decking and Westbury railing for our deck. Surface mount deck posts were installed without the proper stainless steel shims (provided with the posts). Deck posts were also originally installed with the wrong lag bolts. When the lag bolt issue was brought up, Jake Kolar (owner) replied "Been using 3" for 5 years". (see picture for lag bolt reference) Railing sections over 6 feet long did not have the proper center support installed. (support was supplied with the railing) 25 deck boards were cut too short to properly land on the existing structure. Jake blamed the structure as the reason he cut the boards short in order to center everything. However, after Jake's "fix" the parting board is still not centered and the deck boards on either side are different lengths.

I wouldn’t recommend them for any bathroom work. Beware…..If you’re looking to do tile work call a different company!!! This company is only concerned with booking the next job than doing quality work and be prepared to have another job booked in the middle of yours then you have to sit and wait to get your started work completed when that job is done. Then they rush to complete your work. They say the work is within the guidelines of tile work, which is funny because a we could have googled how to do tile and would have done 10 times better. If you’re looking to throw away your money, then they are your company. If your looking for quality work and contractor that cares, find someone else!!!

Stay far away from Jake from Kolar Construction! He and his crew took 2 months from start to finish to complete a 12’x12’ deck resurface and still never finished. He didn’t clean up his metal shavings and said it was glitter that can be blown off (see photos) from the cable railings, left various areas incomplete and with large gaps and bad workmanship, and framed steps in a way that water couldn’t escape through gaps. When I asked to fix the issues he said that it passed inspection and it was finished. How do you treat people like that when they’re paying you to do a quality job for them. I would never hire or recommend them to anyone! Buyers beware!!!
