Construction Company reviews in Eugene, Oregon

Stop looking for construction companies. Kaminski Construction is a true 5-Star business. Professional from start to finish. On schedule. Superior workmanship. Great communication. Exceeded our high expectations. Pleasure to work with.

I recently hired Kaminski Construction to install heavy bag wall brackets in my boxing gym. I told them where i wanted them hung and they went to work giving me exactly what I asked for. So far everything is holding up well and I have no complaints. Good job guys.

Great company with a desire to serve their community. They reached out to us with a desire to help with our project by donating all the labor of their entire company for 2 days! They showed up on the scheduled days ready to work! By the end of 2 days, they had hung around 18,000 sq ft of drywall and 20,000ish of insulation. Great company to work with, easy to communicate with, fun work atmosphere, extremely efficient, highly recommend!

They were there when they said they would be there. They did a great job. Project was completed in a timely manner. The price was fair. Can’t ask for much more from a construction company. Overall, very happy with Kaminski Construction. Will use them again for future projects.

Kaminski construction gave me a fair estimate of the work that they could do. They showed up promptly and in less than half a day completed removing and installing aluminum gutters to my home additionally they contracted out to have someone fix an area of dry rot. I could not say enough good things about Kaminsky construction

I saw the news tonight and saw your opinion that customers should have a choice regarding using natural gas. I read many of your reviews and would consider you for a future project. I agree at some point in the future we will move to electric appliances only but we are not there yet. The electrical grid is not heading to great reliability. I added the capability of using a generator to run my natural gas furnace if needed. Thank you for your support of choice.

I have nothing but good things to say about Kaminski Construction. They redid a back exterior wall and installed two additional windows, resided the house, painted it, and also took care of various things that arose during the jobs which were either problematic with the original construction or would result in a better outcome than the original plan. Never did they try to push anything but were very informative about what was involved including the specific cost which turned out to be fair. They always answered all questions in a detailed and timely fashion.. Being able to communicate openly and continuously and have a clear sense of what was going on and what could be expected was a refreshing experience. Everyone involved was very professional and the work done was excellent.

We hired Kaminski to identify and repair the source of constant leaking in our basement. They insisted that the source of the leaking was a foundational issue, which they "repaired" over the course of several days (and to the tune of thousands of dollars). About a month after they claimed the problem was solved, the leaking returns. We discovered that the issue was actually with the piping system in the house. When making their assessment of the problem, Kaminsky never mentioned that there could be an alternate source besides the foundation. Hiring them was expensive and ultimately did little to nothing to address the actual problem.

I hired Kaminski to replace some drywall and the subfloor in my kitchen, bathroom, and pantry. They did a good job on the drywall. The subfloor work left a lot to be desired. They did not put in blocking where it was needed to keep the floor stable. They had to go in after the work was done to put in blocking from the crawlspace. I also had to ask them to put in a new hole and pipe for the dryer. Somehow these basic things didn't occur to them. My refrigerator sits above the ductwork coming from the furnace, making it difficult to provide support for the subfloor. So in front of the fridge the floor sinks in when you walk on it. This was not addressed from the start. They knew the ductwork was there. I did not realize this was an issue until after they said their work was done. They were content to leave it that way. After all the work was done their only proposed solution was to charge me another $750 to add a layer of 1/2" sheets on top of the subfloor. I declined and asked them for a different solution. They offered none. Their only answer when asked why this issue wasn't addressed from the beginning is that manufactured homes are different than traditional homes. I asked for a discount on the bill. They declined. A friend helped me tear that part of the subfloor out and we strengthened the weak spot with a $30 fix. It took 4 hours. 3 hours of that work was trying to tear out the board Kaminski put in because instead of screws they used about 2 dozen nails with weak heads which could not be pulled out. Aside from shoddy work and suspect business practices, on the very first day the workers ran into the basketball pole in my front yard with their box truck. It bent the pole to about a 15 degree angle. They said nothing about it. It was so loud I could hear it from the back of my house. I looked out the front window and saw the workers lifting up the net so they could fit their truck in under the hoop. I held my tongue for the entire week they were here, giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping they would speak up before they left. It didn't happen. Evidently they believe I am an idiot and can be taken advantage of. Mistakes are fine. No one is perfect. How you respond to issues is what really matters. But Kaminski's response to their mistakes says a lot about the company and I would highly suggest you look to someone else for your contracting needs. I informed both the supervisor, Matt, and Mr. Jason Kaminski that I was still recovering from leukemia and that money was tight. Evidently they think doing subpar work for leukemia patients with financial concerns is an acceptable way to run their business. Matt did recognize an issue with my toilet and had it replaced. To their credit, Kaminski did charge me less than what they quoted. They charged me honestly for the hours and materials they put in. That's the expectation, of course, but it still needs to be pointed out despite my other issues. I paid my bill in full. The costs and stress of a potential small claims case wasn't worth the $100 or so I was going to short them. Evidently their reputation isn't worth it to them.

In the process of preparing my mom's house and my childhood home for sale, I needed the services of a contractor to take care of several different issues that a home inspection I had ordered turned up. I sent the report to Kaminski Construction and Patrick Bennett took the project. Considering that I am working full time and getting a house ready for the market, I needed someone who I could trust to get the work done to my satisfaction and to communicate any problems they may encounter. Patrick was great. His crew came in and did everything on the list and did it very well. I could not have been happier!
The house went on the market and we sold it very quickly. The buyer ordered their own inspection and as it turns out, my inspector missed some items that turned out to be rather large, disappointing, not to mention time sensitive and beyond stressful. I sent the new inspection report to Patrick (after he thought he was done with me!) and asked if he could help me. His response was beyond comforting, it was downright fantastic as he mentioned that he was there to help. Without getting into all of the details, Patrick was already thinking two steps ahead of me and reassured me that I was in good hands. I most certainly was. He assured me that they were on it and he got crews scheduled to do the work. They took care of all of the surprises and issues at hand and were the reason the sale of the house did not fall through. I would use Kaminski Construction again and most certainly ask for Patrick to take the lead on the project. This guy is the definition of customer service, quality and he’s a pretty nice guy to boot!

Thank you Patrick & Kaminski!

Kaminski came to our immediate rescue after a tree fell on to our house. We really appreciated Kaminski for their constant professionalism throughout the entire job. We would - and have already - recommend this firm to anyone and everyone for their construction needs. With all of the less than honorable contractors out there, Kaminski is a gem.

Professional, on time, answered my concerns, and finished the job quickly before company visited from out of town!! The best is how Kaminski assigns a project manager to each job and is available for questions and answers!

I was very pleased with this company from start to finish. Jacob came out the next day after calling and telling them about my problem and was very prompt with getting my estimate. I was in need of getting some dry rot fixed and having siding put on the back side of the house. The project manager, Andrew, explained exactly what would be done and both the project leader Dallas, and his co-worker, Kyle were very meticulous about getting everything exactly as it should be. A great crew and a great company to work with.

We are delighted with the work done on this job. Brian worked fast and hard, and he got the baseboards installed professionally and in very good time. It was a pleasure to work with Alexis. He put his heart into our stair handrail project, and we are very pleased with the results. It is so much better than the old handrail. Both parts of the project made a big improvement in our home, and we are 100% happy with the finished results. We would be glad to recommend this company and to have them do work for us again.

I waited a couple of weeks so that I could be fair with this review, because I was a bit annoyed with them. This could've been a 5-star review.

Pros:
==========================
-Everyone I met at Kaminski was friendly and professional.

-They did the work I contracted with them to do in a fairly short period of time.

-When the guys came to do the job they did quality work, in a very professional manner.

-When they left, I even considered contacting them to replace the old galvanized pipe in my house sometime over the next year. I actually mentioned it to their carpenter before he left. That outcome seems unlikely now for the reasons that follow.

-Once I posted my review I got a call asking how I could be more satisfied. I realize I am not their only client, and don't consider my job to be any more important than anyone else's. This said, I appreciate the effort.

-I did get a refund for them for... something. Not sure what it was for. (See my last "Con" item.

Cons:
==========================

-We were told that they would charge half the bid in deposit, then they charged the whole thing. In fairness they reversed this charge.

-My only sincere complaint is the opacity of their billing. Don't get me wrong. they gave me a VERY detailed estimate and - as I mentioned in the first part of my review - they sent me a partial refund of the initial charge.

Gosh this is going to sound like I am complaining just to complain, but hear me out.

The real issue is I have not yet received a detailed explanation of exactly what I was charged for. When I spoke to the company I was told that prep work went longer than expected, and was told I would get a detailed invoice.

Look, I am not going to quibble over the price. I am not looking for a refund I am not due. The fact is I signed the contract, but I want to know where the money went. That is all. They did great work, and I now more than trust them.

Conclusion:
====================

First impressions matter fair or not.

The final assessment is, though I would work with them again, I just want to a receipt. Their bids are detailed enough that this should be doable.

We could not be happier with Kaminski Construction. Their attention to detail is exceptional. We had several change orders and they did a great job of explaining them and were still able to finish the project on time even with the additions. They kept the job site absolutely spotless. We highly recommend Kaminski Construction!

Kaminski Construction did a fantastic job replacing our roof. They were professional and much more reasonable in price than other competitors. Our experience from the start with our estimator, Matt, was exceptional. Our roof looks beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the great job all the employees at Kaminski Construction did from start to finish! Thank you!!

Kaminski Construction did a bunch of work on our home this summer, including replacing a wooden deck with a concrete patio and replacing 10 windows. Every member of the Kaminski crew was professional, friendly, and polite. They always chose to complete detailed work instead of just rushing through the project to get things done. We're so happy to have the new upgrades to our home, and we highly recommend them to others.

Recently we had Kaminski replace and repair dry rot damage to our house. They then painted the exterior of the house. We are very happy with all the work. Everyone involved were on time, polite, informative, great attention to detail, doing little extras. I found the crew to be very professional and polite. I will contact Kaminski again when more work is needed and I will recommend Kaminski to friends and family. Thanks, Tim Kiley

Kaminski Construction just completed our three home improvement projects: Replacing an exterior door; removing and replacing weather-damaged siding on our house and utility shed; and rebuilding the exterior of our fireplace chimney. The quality of the work was excellent. The workers clearly explained the process before they started, paid close attention to details and and ensured that we were satisfied with the work before they left for the day. We are particularly indebted to Matt, Ken and Dallas who often went above and beyond what was expected of them. We will definitely use Kaminski Construction for any future projects.

Kaminksi Construction painted our 93 year old house, spending about a week just in the prepping. They were thorough, responsive to our needs and requests, and treated our house like it was their own. We had a couple of things that needed repair and they did it very well. We would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of work done, whether construction or painting. We will definitely call them again when needed.
