What Our Clients Say

  • We have been so grateful to have Chris Keefe Builders complete a transformative renovation on our 100+ year house which 4 generations of our family have called home. The building process can be exhausting and emotionally draining, but we enjoyed the process and didn't regret a single day. Our project was substantial and complicated; the attention to detail from the first day gave us confidence and peace of mind that no corners were going to be cut and the job would be completed with superior quality. Each step of the job was completed with precision and care, which was the expectation Chris put in place for everyone that came on site. The crew became part of our family which is very important to a busy family with 3 young children. Chris helped us throughout the entire process to make our dream a reality. A heartfelt thank you to the entire CKB team - we are lucky to have you in this area and cannot recommend you enough!

    Brian & Erin Pender

  • “My husband and I highly recommend Chris Keefe Builders for any home renovation or new build. Chris and his team did a very extensive, multi-year renovation on our home in the Chautauqua Institution. At the onset, Chris Keefe was very flexible and open to trying new things (including building in a sustainable way). As a result of the team's hard work, we were able to get a platinum LEED rating for the project. But beyond that, Chris and our project manager Brad Howe were excellent to work with in every way. They are skilled craftsmen who take great pride in what they do. They have a collaborative approach to problem-solving. And they finished the project on time. The end result is a home that is very well constructed with exceptional details. It is a beautifully built building. Maybe most importantly, we really enjoyed the experience of working with Chris and his team. They care about their work, and they really wanted us to be happy at every point along the way. Again, we wholeheartedly endorse Chris Keefe Builders.”
