I’ve worked with Kiel for 8 years and he’s done fantastic work on my house and numerous other projects!! Would definitely recommend him to anyone in Kentucky!! Read more

New review for project at home 9/2023 Time to surface the deck but my back can no longer deal w 5 hours of pulling nails seated in baked old wood. Kiel sent over two guys who knocked it out in no time and hauled everything away. And having Kenny on your job crew is always a bonus! He’s a rock star! Thanks for yet another great job! Kiel and his team are outstanding problem solvers. At Yew Dell Botanical Gardens we have used them on challenging, nontraditional projects with unique constraints because of our National Register listing and our sometimes extremely tight timelines and budgets. On each project they were involved not only on the construction but also as an essential part of our planning team. This resulted in highly efficient use of our funds, on time completion and award winning results. Tough to do better than that. Read more

We love Kiel and his employees. Hardworking and love the service and quality that they have provided! Our original contractor we hired to build a bookcase with doors decided one day to ignore our calls and not come back to finish the bookcase. We waited and waited and finally after a long time asked Kiel to help us out and was so sweet and nice to jump in and finish the job for us in a timely manner. So grateful and we absolutely looove our bookcase!! I would definitely recommend Kiel Thomson Co. if you want amazing work, quality, and amazing people! Read more

Kiel Thomson Construction Company was recommended to us not only for their quality of service, but also for their quality of character. When we completed the design phase of our project with Kiel and his staff, we were extremely pleased with their collaborative approach, transparency, proactivity, and expertise. We were set up for success as we kicked off the construction phase and we couldn't have been more pleased with the final output! Our remodel was completed on time and under budget! KTC was a great choice for our project. Read more

It will be hard to say all the good things there are to say about Kiel, his company, and employees in this limited space, but here goes. For many years I've known about Kiel Thomson and his company's reputation for quality work, especially in renovating and adding onto older homes and business buildings in the Crescent Hill and Highlands areas. I hired KTC first to renovate my parents' home in Crescent Hill, which at that time was about 100 years old and my parents had lovingly neglected it for the 62 years they lived there. So much was done -- walls were moved, a staircase was returned to its original pre-war location, all wiring, plumbing, and windows were replaced. The foundation was re-poured. The kitchen was enlarged. An impracticable 6 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath house with a very small kitchen and almost no cabinets was transformed into a 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath house with a wonderful first floor primary bedroom and walk-in closet. An additional 100 years of life was added to that ho Read more

KTC is the best construction company in Louisville, hands down. They do quality work and care about their customers deeply. You can trust that you will be satisfied with their work. Read more

I have worked with KTC for over 12 years, on repeat, that in itself says a lot. I’ve been a designer for 25 years-specializing in helping people with the construction process all the way to the choice of pillows on the sofa- I believe if you get the bones right, the rest comes easily. I love that I know my clients are in good hands, from start to finish whether it’s a renovation, addition, new kitchen or a beautiful pool & pool house! Their eye and attention to detail is so refreshing-compared to a lot of builders. I also love that each project with them has a job supervisor. I have worked closely with many builders-KTC definitely earns every star and then some! Read more

KTC performed two large projects for us. Both projects were completed to the highest quality. I would use KTC again. Read more

It wasn't long after I bought my house in 2017 that I identified KTC as a contractor I wanted to work with. What particularly drew me to them was their experience working on historic homes and that they're a full-service firm. It wasn't until mid-2023 that I was in a position, budget-wise, to hire them, but once I reached that point there really wasn't any question that I would, and I have no regrets. The project we put together fulfilled several items on my old house renovation bucket list, including a complete kitchen overhaul, reclaiming previously unusuable space and turning it into a master suite, and providing access to my cellar that didn't require having additional liability insurance. It was a big and lengthy and complicated and expensive project, but worth every cent. Everyone I dealt with at KTC, from Dawn to Mac to Becca to April to Kiel himself and, most of all, to my project manager Laura - who deserves ALL the accolades - was engaged and enthusiastic from start to finish Read more

For years, Kiel Thomson and his team have brought heart and soul to WaterStep’s international base in Louisville, Ky. In 2012 we discovered a 36,000-square-foot building that had been abandoned for 10 years. It had good bones but the tree growing through the floor of the main room pointed to a lot of work ahead. We needed the building to look and feel good, be functional and provide for future growth. Imagining how your home or business can become a place of comfort and warm gatherings, inspiration and productivity that reaches years into the future, is nothing less than daunting. Like us at WaterStep, maybe you get the beginning of an idea but the real vision for it is like hunting for land in a dense ocean fog. KTC has a way of navigating what you’re seeing in your brain to reality. Today, in our building we teach safe water and health practices to other countries, manufacture equipment, host thousands of visitors for tours, impact lives, and have workspaces that inspire, build Read more

Kiel and his team did an excellent job for my family. They assisted us with design and had our project finished in record time. Kiel and his team are as technically savvy as they are down to earth. They made the building experience, something new to us, very understandable and enjoyable. By the end we felt as if we were part of the KTC family and will continue to use them for any future projects. Read more

In 2023, a massive tree crashed into my house, the 1920s stucco. I reached out to three contractors, and KTC responded swiftly. Kiel, Dawn and Paul, came the following day after the tree struck the house. They assisted me in navigating the complexities of the insurance company. They were punctual, professional, organized, thorough, and reliable. It took over a year to rebuild the house. They did an outstanding job. They were all exceptional, including the office staff, project manager Paul, and all the contractors. They are both skilled and kind, and that’s what truly matters! I am incredibly thankful to have had a contractor who was willing to go above and beyond in negotiating with the insurance company and, ideally, restore my home. I highly recommend KTC! Read more

Very pleased with an elegant remodel of my small bathroom. Tile, plumbing and electrical were exceptional. Kudos to manager Laura who finished the project in time for guests arriving from out of town Read more

Kiel and his team did a fantastic job from start to finish as they helped us envision an elevated outdoor space that has become a true respite. They were courteous, on time and very receptive to our needs throughout the project and we couldn't be happier with the result. Read more

We worked with Kiel and Becca on our rental property and were extremely happy with the results. Becca was very communicative and happy to provide suggestions when needed. Our house is very old and needed a lot of work and it looks amazing now. We have some other projects and hope to use them again! Read more

We've known Kiel over 15 years and have used him for numerous projects. He never disappoints! His team, especially Dawn and Paul, are very detailed and communicate well. KTC has built us a garage, added on to our home, built a deck, renovated a new bath and other areas...it not only significantly increased the value of our home, it gave us a real oasis to live! I highly recommend Kiel/KTC and the whole team. Read more
