Kennedy & Son's did a lintel replacement on my Garage door. They were obvious experts in this field and I was extremely happy with the results. I was very pleased with the quality of their work, and I would not hesitate to use them again if the need arises. They were responsive and very professional in every way. In Particular, Bob Felgar made the whole experience a pleasurable one for me and my family.

Kennedy and Sons helped us move a garage to a different location on the property. It was done professionally through out the experience. They also worked with us to work it into their schedule. Recently, their employee, Jason, was extremely helpful in providing a bid and information for foundation and repair work. Thank you!

We are so disappointed in this company! They were contracted, to do $7400.00 worth of foundation repair due to a sagging bathroom floor, door wouldn't close.they did a cheap fix that lasted only a few weeks and the same area started sagging again! Only after numerous calls did someone come out and say that the support that they put in was installed on a rotted beam! Who does that? Don Kennedy and Sons does that! So, they sent a nice young guy out to take care of that, well, the door is even worse than it was!
We trusted this company to also install a sump pump for us, which they did. They installed it directly underneath our master bedroom and when we requested that it be moved, so we did not have to hear the pump in our sleep, they refused to come and relocate it! This company was paid over 12K and the original problem has never been fixed! Don't believe them when they say they stand by their work! We are meeting with a reputable company next week, to fix the mess that this company has made!
