“There are so many great things about working with MAK: they work hard to keep the project in budget, they stay in communication with you on the status of the project and what to expect, everyone is very professional, any issues that come up they handle and fix, they pay close attention to detail and have very high standards, they communicate well with each other and the transition from design to production is smooth, their work is first-rate. They somehow manage to make a process that can be very stressful seem fun and enjoyable. We highly recommend MAK and would use them again.”

“MAK Design and Build did a major remodel on our home when we first purchased it over 15 years ago. They turned an ugly 1960’s rambler into a modern stylish dream home. We have been so happy with the results that when we decided to refurbish our kitchen and two bathrooms, we immediately turned to the MAK team to get the job done. Now we are enjoying our beautiful updated kitchen and bathrooms. The MAK team have brought great design, outstanding craftsmanship and consistent reliability to both of our projects. We really appreciate having them in our community.”

“Every single team member showed a commitment to quality and transparency, and they were all very respectful and pleasant. We never had to worry about the overall quality of the work because our project manager was on site every day to make sure every aspect of the build was taken care of. ”

“Everything we would have wanted from this experience exceeded our expectations. They communicated well, were extremely professional and warm, stayed within the timeline, and the end result of our project was better than what we had originally hoped for. We highly recommend MAK and look forward to working with them again.”

MAK Design and Build are a wonderful company. Our kitchen is our second project with them and I can’t wait for the next one. Everyone was very professional and, most importantly, very pleasant to work with. From the initial design meetings, through the completion of the project we felt well taken care of. Whenever a problem arose, they were quick to respond and took whatever steps needed to fix it. Kellie Love offered us a couple of design concepts at our initial meetings, and we loved the colors and materials of the first one so much that we didn’t need to do much but sit back and let MAK turn our drab brown and yellow 1978 kitchen into a beautiful, modern, and functional center of our home.

Our 1990s kitchen and family room needed a major update. The remodel had to be done right because it would define our home for the next 20 years and be the place we’d end up spending half our time when at home. For those reasons, we chose to work with MAK, and we’re 100% happy with that decision. From the initial planning to the last finishing touches, everything was done professionally and to the highest standard. What we especially appreciated is their transparency and responsiveness: everything from pricing to timeline is explained clearly, all our questions were promptly answered, and all our concerns were addressed quickly and cheerfully. A really important plus of working with MAK is that they clearly know and hire the best people in every area of design and construction, from painting to cabinetry to flooring. Everyone at MAK is a pro, but we especially want to highlight our designer, Anthony Anderson, lead carpenter Robert, production manager Jon, project coordinator Karen, and last but certainly not least, owner Ken Kirsch

Working with the staff at MAK was a delight. Before any work had begun they asked me to fill out some forms to give them a better idea of my design preferences, purpose of the structure, and how it would fit in with the house and garden. Meetings with the two designers were thorough and enjoyable and modifications were quickly made thanks to Ilse's great computer skills. It was fun to watch iterations of possible changes on a computer screen. The project manager is very personable, fun, and eager to make sure the clients are happy. I enjoyed watching the construction process and was pleased at how they made sure to leave a clean and safe workspace for older clients like my husband and myself. I was very pleased that the project came in close to the budget they projected and they finished in record time. I've had many remodels on our house over the past 41 years and this experience has been the best by far. Sadly I have no more projects for them!

Working with the MAK group is like working with your friends, and they get the job done. They are highly skilled at construction/remodeling. From the start, Ken Kirsch and his team were very professional first exploring our interests and desires for a complete remodel of our downstairs house (about 1500 sf), then coming up with a detailed plan and time frame for the works completion.One of MAK’s stars is Kellie Love, who is a wonderfully experienced designer and person. Kellie was a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable about design, and really understand the customer’s needs and wants, and comes with, or researches, lots of ideas.

We hired MAK Design + Build to change the footprint of our house and add a screen porch. Business owner Ken Kirsch was amazing at helping us distill the project. Designer Anthony Anderson’s design for the porch is so cool... he added things that really elevate the room and draw us out every sunny day. Project manager Brian Krall was so easy to have around. We have never had anyone work on our house with such an attention to detail as Brian. A+++ and extra credit points all around.

“MAK is one of the most professional businesses I have worked with. In the design process, MAK made a real effort to find out my needs and tastes and tried to meet those needs without overselling. The work by the MAK carpenters and subcontractors was high quality and carried out in a straightforward manner. Transparency and communication were always excellent. Remodeling is inevitably an intrusive process, but MAK made it as stress free as possible. Everyone was very personable and treated me like a friend as much as a client. I am very satisfied with the process and very pleased with the end result. I could not be happier.”
