Sean and Kanna construction remodel my kitchen. Work was done within the time frame and I am very happy with the work done by Sean. He is very honest and communication was great through the project process. The work included new countertops and cabinets in the kitchen, new flooring, backsplash and paint. I will use Kanna construction in the future and recommend my friends and family without hesitation.

Albert and Susan are masters at helping clients determine what their vision is for a space and then making it happen. They adhere to your design aesthetic but will always offer an additional suggestion to help elevate the room- offering an expertise that you might not have. Albert and Susan insist on top quality and only work with contractors and vendors that can deliver it. They are also wizards at finding good quality but less expensive options for high end looks.

Isaac handled the project efficiently and was excellent at communicating with us. Any inevitable issues were solved quickly and professionally to keep the project on timeline. I highly recommend them for your next home renovation!
