KAJ Construction

My wife and I desperately needed to upgrade some of the remaining siding on our house and garage (they were half James Hardie/half cedar shingle), along with some window replacement, and trim. We opted to go with KAJ Construction, as they specialized in James Hardie. This company did not disappoint. They were punctual and detailed in every way; from the initial review of the job site, to the detailed written agreement of work to be done. The quality of their work was was absolutely top-notch. The work site was always kept clean. The added insulation below the James Hardie siding, has already resulted in a lowering of our electric usage--this during a recent N.E. heatwave. As to our window replacement, I have to say that the indoor trim work was outstanding. If we ever find ourselves in need of additional work, I would not hesitate for a second, to call on Alecandro and his team. Six stars.

I worked with Kevin and Alecandro from KAJ last summer to replace my old dry cedar shingle with Hardie siding and replace all my wood trim with PVC. Kevin was so helpful ahead of time, answering any and all of my many questions without ever talking down to me as a woman. They did a wonderful job! The work crew assigned to my job worked diligently and efficiently, were quiet and polite, and cleaned up every day. Alecandro checked in every day on site, and was available for any question that came up. It’s now been 8 months since they finished the job, no errors have arisen, and I still just LOVE how my house looks. I would recommend KAJ without reservation as an honest, trustworthy construction company.

KAJ Construction was great! They redid our deck for us and it was a smooth process. They were upfront and honest with us about pricing and timing of the project. Open communication, so we would always have know what was going on with our project. I would highly recommend.

Our experience from KAJ Construction was fantastic from start to finish. In the fall of 2024 we requested quotes from a number of contractors for our (fairly big) project . . . the house needed all siding and exterior trim replaced plus a number of new windows including two large bays. The estimator and project manager Kevin Foley came out and met with us several times to review the project, our options, and also provided us a lot of advice during the process that would have been helpful irrespective of whether we decided to move forward with KAJ. The quote we received from KAJ was fair and transparent, which was not the case with many of the other contractors we spoke with. The combination of the fair quote, our discussions with Kevin Foley, and a review of the company’s past work gave us confidence that KAJ Construction was the best choice for the job and we engaged them for our project. The crew showed up on time every day and were very professional for the entire duration. After stripping the existing siding there was a significant amount of rotten wood including a portion of the sill that needed to be replaced (which we anticipated given the poor state of the home exterior); KAJ was able to replace all necessary spots and did so at a reasonable cost. The owner of the company, Alecandro Carvalho, as well as Kevin Foley the project manager came by frequently to check on the progress and review the work with us. They were both extremely communicative throughout the project and were also a great resource for us in terms of what we wanted for a finished product. As part of the project we decided to replace all of the windows (30+) as well as an exterior door; while we initially thought this would have been out of our budget KAJ was able to get us great pricing on some quality windows and it made sense to replace them all at once. The window installation went seamlessly and they replaced and painted all of the interior window trim for us as well. Additionally the ceiling in our sunroom had significant water damage due to leaks with the prior windows, which KAJ was able to replace, insulate, and paint for us. Overall the house came out great. We are extremely happy with the new siding and windows and the quality of the workmanship done by KAJ. Every little detail was taken care of, down to the installation of new exterior light fixtures, a flag mount, and house numbers. Working with Alecandro and Kevin was a pleasure for the entire time, and we would highly recommend KAJ to others considering a similar home project.

We had our house updated with "Hardie siding" board. The job was well organized and executed per plan. There was a dedicated crew who arrived every day and worked diligently to completion. We had a few change orders that were handled without issue. We encountered a couple of minor problems that were also handled to our satisfaction. The outcome was perfect and has made our house look brand new. We would recommend KAJ Construction to anyone looking for a solid contractor.
