Reviews of Kawartha Lakes Construction (Architect)

George Rayner

We have done several project with Kawartha Lakes Construction (KLC) over the past few years. The projects include, two new back decks, a new front porch and entry, totally refitted bath room and structural repairs to our family compound. KLC provided to us a total turnkey and top drawer service, from the design, through the permitting onto the construction plus a full service warranty. The work was performed by knowledgeable and very likable trades persons and managed by professional service personal. Throughout the entire process KLC was a joy to work with and provided to us an outstanding warranty that we have yet to utilize in that the quality of work was first rate. I highly recommend KLC for whatever construction needs you have.

It is an absolute pleasure to work with the entire Kawartha Lakes Construction Team; and we have been doing so since their inception close to thirty years ago. As a supplier, being a part of a great group who is quality driven is truly an honour (and at times somewhat unique in our industry). From front to back, Office Administration, Sales, Project Development, Selections, Purchasing, Construction, Service, Accounting; Scott Wootton’s Team is Organized and Professional. Their Customer Service as well as the Customer Experience is always paramount. This has been another great year working closely with KLC. A major part of that can be attributed to their keen approach to Product Knowledge and always looking to advance themselves & our Industry. We have been happy to regularly be involved, bringing in different Manufacturer Representatives for KLC Staff Meetings. Also, unique to the industry, KLC provides regular Construction & Décor Seminars open to the Industry and General Public. It has been excellent being included in these sessions. It is also great to be involved with KLC in their Community work. We look forward to their events every year, particularly the Christmas Open House, with funds being raised for Lakefield Charities. We were also pleased to help the Ladies of KLC with their Habitat Build. New this year KLC helped in sponsoring our Peterborough Petes Peewee Hockey Team. Congratulations Scott on building such a variety of quality New Builds, Renovations, and at the same time always making your Team and the Industry better. Thank you for having us on the KLC Team Warren Rose, Monaghan Lumber Specialties

"The folks at KLC are excellent to work with. Problems always arise in renovation projects--that's just the nature of the game, but they took responsibility for them and fixed them all in a timely manner and I have been left with a beautifully renovated 2nd floor. Thank you to the whole team"

From the limited exposure I had with these fine folks their passion and professionalism is obvious!

Having supplied energy efficient cutting-edge building materials to Kawartha Lakes Construction over the last 20 years I can say that they have consistently proven themselves to be a highly professional organization with a philosophy of putting their customers first. Constantly seeking new and better ways to do business, they regularly engage in staff training on new technologies, Building Code updates and specialty building products. Supporting or spearheading a variety of community fund raising events, they touch many people through their generosity of service above self. They work as a team with the single goal of customer satisfaction through all levels of the Design/Build process. Ken Williams National Sales Manager Legalett Canada Inc.

Working alongside the professional staff at KLC for over 15 years has been a very rewarding experience for our electrical contracting business. We particularly appreciate the way the projects are planned and implemented in a timely manner and the fact that the project managers keep us in the loop throughout the duration of the project from start to finish. The customers repeatedly compliment us and the KLC staff on the extraordinary co-ordination and quality of work when we all work together as a team. Our electricians and the tradespeople at KLC enjoy a camaraderie not always seen on construction sites and we all take tremendous pride in making the customer’s dreams come to life.

The after sale communication and support is second to none! I grew up providing and learning about customer service and I rate my experience with KLCC as 11 out of 10!! A really great team.

My family started coming to Deer Bay in the Kawarthas in the 1930s but eventually sold our family cottage. When Mitzi and I had an opportunity to return to Deer Bay and build our dream cottage/retirement home we needed a builder we could really trust since we were 1,000 miles away in St. Paul, Minnesota. Kawartha Lakes Construction proved to be the right choice. We had specific “Prairie Style” design ideas and they were able to put our thoughts to paper and come up with exactly what we were looking for. They were also able to build in stages (lower level for summer use, boathouse, major landscaping, and finally, adding the upper floors) to suit our timelines and financial needs. It was a long process, but KLC made the journey worthwhile. We consider the folks at KLC as friends more than business associates. I have highly recommended them to inquisitive neighbours and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to build in the area.

Our experience with Kawartha Lakes Construction was great. From the initial design stage through to construction and after-care, their professionalism and craftsmanship was evident. They understood the needs and vision for renovating our historic home, and provided creative ideas and solutions. During construction, the team was onsite everyday to keep the project moving on schedule. Every team member was a pleasure to work with and exceeded our expectations in every way.

Betty Robinson

We hired Kawartha Lakes Construction to design and build a new recreational home for us. This involved demolition of the original building, designing the new building, and constructing the new building. Overall, the team we worked with at KLC can be described in one word: outstanding. In more detail: KLC made the entire process easy for us. They are professional, open, honest, communicative, and pleasant to work with. We have no reservations whatsoever in providing our wholehearted recommendation to use this company.

Kawartha Lakes Construction has been a great company to work with! Considering we live far away from our cottage and in a different time zone we have been able to work well with all the crew. The design and build exceeded our expectations and has transformed our cottage exterior to really take in the views of the lake. Also I’m relishing the idea of not having to spend my limited time at the cottage having to do major maintenance to keep it looking great! KLC was fabulous at keeping me informed on the progress of the renovation and considering we are on an island and dependant on weather and access they were able to keep to the schedule quite closely. All of the crew were professional and seem to really enjoy working as a team.

The Association of Stony Lake Cottagers (ASLC) had reached the end of the useful life of its beloved Juniper Island Store building – the heart of the community. The membership spoke passionately about preserving the heritage of the building and the Board embarked on a project to replicate the exterior as closely as possible while modernizing the interior. Kawartha Lakes Construction was the successful bidder. Throughout the build, KLC worked collegially with the architect, Association and Heritage Foundation to improve the quality of the project – both in design and material selection. The schedule and budget were paramount and KLC met both! KLC’s attention to detail and quality of work were exceptional and they never waivered in their commitment to the project. Not only did KLC impress the Association and Heritage Foundation, but the entire community – a job very well done!

We were able to rely on the knowledge and experience of the company for many product and design decisions. We worked very closely with the design team to develop our plans and we wouldn’t change anything about the final design. I can’t think of an area where the company didn’t meet our expectations. The owner has assembled a team of talented and dedicated professionals who went above and beyond to ensure the process of designing and building our cottage was as seamless as possible. They are incredibly organized and always ensured we were aware of upcoming benchmarks and resulting decision making timelines. Every member of the team takes pride in what they do and is a pleasure to deal with. We would recommend this company to anyone looking for a builder with absolute confidence that they would have as positive an experience as we have had.

I would strongly recommend Kawartha Lakes Construction. I would like to also say they were very respectful, and D’Arcy Scott and Don Koppin listened exactly to what I wanted my vision to be. Our home is older- 150 years old- and they were able to come up with an innovative solution that allowed our project to come together while maintaining the integrity of our home.

Johnson Jewellers

We have used Kawartha Lakes Construction for both residential and commercial renovations. From design to the finished project each department and every member or their team is knowledgeable, skilled and accommodating. KLC is a trusted member of our community and I would highly recommend them for any new build or renovation.

KLC team did an outstanding job. My wife and I began with an idea of what we wanted in our new build cottage - KLC translated that very high level vision into reality. The work was done on time and on budget. We are thrilled with the result
