Structural Beam

We contacted Ken for an assessment and evaluation for a structural issue in our basement. Ken came out and reviewed our situation and developed an in-depth and detailed report. Ken was available to help along the way with any questions that we had even after the his report was given to us and he responded quickly. I highly recommend K H Davis for any of your structural issues.

Sound Practical Advice

I contacted Ken regarding a minor structural modification I was contemplating as part of a kitchen remodel. Ken immediately understood what I was trying to accomplish and offered sound practical advice on how I could achieve the desired outcome on my own.

Pleasantly Surprised at Courtesy and Knowledge

I was referred to KH Davis by another contractor and spoke to Kevin who patiently and graciously listened to the issue I was facing in my house. He offered some advice on how to tackle it myself.
I've had difficulty in getting straight answers on occasion from different sources so was so pleased and surprised. When I checked their site, the comments of others confirmed I'd spoken to the right company, and the right professional in Kevin. Thanks so much - I'll be referring this firm and Kevin to others who need building alterations.

Structural Renovation Consultation

After gutting our property to the joists we called Ken to review the property and ensure the joists could support the intended subfloor, drywall, and finishings, as well as the proposed cathedral ceiling with insulation and drywall.

Our experience with Ken was excellent. At the site visit, Ken gave us an overview of how best to proceed and he followed up with a detailed report.

Thanks Ken - much appreciated.

The firm is terrific. Expertise and reasonable turnaround. I would highly recommend them. They were able to show which walls were structural and which were not.

Thanks very much Paul, call us if you need an engineer to review structural walls in a condo again in the future. As long as we can get hold of the base building drawings from the property management office, it is often a fairly straightforward task. See you next time!

2nd Storey Addition

Amazing experience from start to finish. Mike was extremely professional yet friendly and accessible. No questions or concerns were left unanswered and all were expediently addressed. Mike also was great at guiding us through the process of making a dream of a renovation come to life. His drawings and ideas were innovative and truly took into consideration our needs and requirements. We would highly recommend Mike and the team at K H Davis for any home expansion or renovation.

Exterior siding & Bay Window painted

We moved into a 70+ year old home last year, and booked an appointment with the company to confirm whether there were any structural areas of concern. Jeremy provided a detailed review at the house, answering various structural questions and advising on what to look for in the future that would be a sign of structural stress. We also received the summary report with his findings a few days later for further reference. Thanks for putting our minds at ease! I'd definitely recommend KH Davis to friends and colleagues.

Front Porch Enclosure

Originally came across KH Davis via homestars and couldn't be more fortunate that I did. Worked with Mike S on a small project to enclose my front porch. Extremely professional and organized with timely responses to any questions I had.

Great experience with other members of their team as well. On one occasion, I dropped off some drawings for their reference and what would have been a quick hello turned into a great working session with their structural engineer and architectural technologist to come up with a solution for a unique insulation situation. To me, that's the sign of an excellent team that is not hesitant in coming up with solutions any way they can. I fully recommend KH, and to me it's obvious why they're top ranked on Homestars.

Will be working with them again shortly on a bigger ground up build, looking forward to that!
