Walt was great to work with. We hired him for a very large first-floor remodeling project that included a complete kitchen re-build (we moved the kitchen to a larger room), taking out multiple walls, changing exterior windows and doors, and combining a laundry room and powder room. His approach was patient and meticulous - exactly what was needed for our 130 year old home. He was thoughtful about overcoming unforeseen challenges (and there were many), and flexible in incorporating necessary design changes on they fly. We highly recommend him.

Walt and his team did an excellent job with our basement remodel. It was a difficult job with a lot of complexity, and he worked with us to come up with a fair price and scope which turned out beautifully. I would definitely recommend him!

Walt Kauffman is the kind of contractor that you hope you can find but don't believe exist anymore. One that's responsive, skilled, detail-oriented, honest, hard-working, dedicated, fair priced, and only employs workers and subs that meet and share his high standards. Walt's team not only did a great job on my kitchen remodel; they did what they said that they were going to do WHEN they said they were going to do it. They were respectful of both me and my property. I would highly recommend Walt Kaufmann Remodeling, LLC for all of your home remodeling needs.

Walt is a real gem! We had a total kitchen remodel done by Walt and his crew. It was a gut job and a big investment for us, so we were unsure what to expect. We had heard horror stories from friends' kitchen renovations (done by other people!) so we went in expecting the worst - but instead we got the best. Everyone who observed our kitchen renovation remarked about how surprised they were that it went so smoothly and moved so fast. It was our first major renovation on our house and Walt's crew set the bar very high. Walt was meticulous, detail oriented, and made sure he thoroughly understood what needed to be done before getting started, and it really showed because they worked swiftly with almost no snags. When things came up that weren't expected, Walt always had several solutions up his sleeve. Beyond that, he managed his and his crew's schedule perfectly. They were reliable, punctual, good communicators, and really managed expectations well. We estimated the project well and kept within the budget. No surprises. He took care of everything. They were also just pleasant people to have in our home every day! And the end product is beautiful. It completely transformed our home. I definitely hope we can work with Walt again.

Walt Kaufmann is everything you could wish for in a contractor: highly skilled, honest, hard-working and a helluva nice guy. From the start, we sensed that Walt was someone we could trust, and he proved to be just that. He is meticulous, detail-oriented and committed to your complete satisfaction. He is prompt, reliable and responsive: Walt responded to questions within minutes and kept us appraised at every step of what to expect in terms of timeline and scheduling. Walt has assembled a crew who share his skill set and work ethic; we were extremely pleased with the tile setter and electrician he brought to our kitchen remodel and couldn? t be happier with the results. To a person, each of Walt? s crew arrived when they said they would, worked with barely a break if at all for a full day, were polite and respectful of our property and cleaned up after themselves. A bonus was that each was genuinely likeable! It was truly a pleasure to do business with Walt Kaufmann and his associates, and we highly recommend them.

Walt and his team did a wonderful job on a complete remodel of our master bathroom along with some minor renovations of our hall bath.
The project ran seamlessly from start to finish. Walt's knowledge and professionalism are second to none, on the job daily assuring that everything runs smoothly any solving any problems that may arise.
Kaufmann Remodeling provides you quality craftmanship at a reasonable price, plus Walt is pretty much available 24/7.
I would highly recommend Kaufmann Remodeling for any renovation or remodel project you may be considering.

Walt is an extremely talented carpenter and a top notch person. He has always gone above and beyond for my family growing up and now that I have my own house, for me. He takes his time to explain everything and he has an incredibly ability to think 10 steps a head to solve problems even before they have a chance to exist.
Without his help, I wouldn't have gotten my house livable for quite some time. Working with many different people this year it was evident what a step above Walt is in regards to his kindness, thoroughness and reliability. I will miss working with Walt and his helper Quinton! They are the best of the best.

It was a pleasure to work with Walt on our bathroom remodeling project. He regularly updated us on the progress of the project and was excellent in coordinating all aspects of the project, finishing the job on time (which never happens). We are very satisfied with the quality of the work overall. If I have other remodeling projects, I would definitely work with Walt again.

I hired Walt Kaufmann for a major kitchen remodeling project. It involved knocking down a wall, putting up a new wall, moving a wall, putting in new doors, all new kitchen cabinets, new floors, new appliances, electrical work, new plumbing, etc. I met with 4 different contractors before going with Walt, because he took the time to carefully review the plans and specs, measure, look in the basement, and ask me detailed questions about things I had not even thought about. He also provided a reasonable and fair price.
Once the project actually started I couldn't be happier with Walt and his crew. They were on time, the work they did was excellent, and they cleaned up after themselves. Walt is very responsive and promptly returns calls and texts. Walt always explained what they were doing and why, and answered any questions. When he ran into problems, he always explained the issue and gave me options for solutions. The electrician, plumbing, and flooring contractors he recommended were also very professional and competent.
I am planning on a master bath and basement renovation in the future, and if I can't get Walt to do them - I will be very sad! In short, I highly recommend Walt - he is an excellent GC and also a really nice guy!

Where to begin...Fist time meeting Walt I knew he was the one that I wanted to go with he had so much patience with me for someone who didn't have a clue on what she was getting herself involved with on a kitchen remodel. His consultation was a 2 hour+. DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS I was blown away!! He treated my kitchen like it was his own kitchen he was remodeling and can't forget about his helper Quinton. I do have future projects down the line that I won't go with anyone else!!

Where do I even start with Walt, this guy is the most thorough, detailed and punctual contractor I've ever met. We got estimates from 5 contractors and went with Walt based on a neighbor referral and he did not disappoint. We did a full kitchen renovation which included demo, knocking down a wall, new floors, cabinets, sink etc. From day one, Walt was very responsive and punctual. His attention to detail is second to none and we could not be any happier with the outcome of the project. His price is very competitive and fair and he's one of the nicest person you'll ever meet.

We are so happy with our beautiful new kitchen. Walt and his crew did a fantastic job and were a pleasure to work with. Walt is an amazing contractor, with years of experience and highly satisfied customers. Our project involved gutting the entire kitchen and removing the weight-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room. On his first consultation visit, delivery of the estimate, and throughout the entire process, it was obvious that Walt is dedicated to excellence. His quotation was thorough and easy to understand. He thinks of the big picture continuously, while paying attention to every small detail. He is a perfectionist. He delivered on each line item, on time. He was very patient and straight forward when answering my questions. When an unexpected issue popped up, as happens when a house is 65 years old and the kitchen has never been remodeled, Walt was a fast problem solver. He always outlined a few options and the pros and cons of each and explained his recommendations. His crew was also hardworking, polite, and professional. When not manually working on the job himself, Walt was here every day to supervise. There was substantial electrical and plumbing work needed to bring it up to code. He was meticulously clean and tidy, so the rest of the house was never dusty. Walt has lots of contacts with vendors, for flooring, backsplashes, and appliances, and he interacts well with all of them. Walt was respectful of my budget, and since he had scoped the project so well, there were no extra labor charges - a gem!
Now, each time we enter our small house, front or back door, we are treated to a masterpiece. Highly recommend.

Working with Walt Kaufmann on kitchen and projects for the past 20 plus years has been a sheer pleasure. Our company Mainline Kitchen Design we have a contractor list of about 20 and I rarely use anyone else if Walt is free to take the job it is his. What can I say Walt runs his company meticulously. From scheduling to completion he has never missed a deadline nor did I ever get a complaint. We look forward to many many more years of working with Walt Kaufmann and his crew. Thanks Walt for all you've done for us I really mean every word you are excellent contractor and friend

We got our entire kitchen gutted and remodeled last year, including getting a new powder room installed on the main level.
Kaufmann remodeling was recommended to us by MainLine Kitchen Designs and Walt and his team exceeded all our expectations.
Walt is very meticulous, punctual and responsive and it was very evident from day one that he is the sort of professional who loves what he does.
His attention to detail and workmanship ensured that the project schedule was adhered to and that we got a beautiful kitchen as planned.
While working on the project, Walt generously offered to pick up our stuff from home center and saved us some shipping cost and time. This did not fall under his purview but he was there to help regardless.
He continues to be reachable on phone for advice even after the project is complete and remains a good friend, to date. Thank you, Walt!
We would definitely recommend him to our friends and consider him for any future projects that we might undertake

Mr. Kaufmann remodeled our bathroom in an old house with lots of quirks and challenges. It involved enlarging the space and completely reconfiguring the design of the room. His ideas on how to most effectively work with a small, difficult space were excellent and the results were terrific! He also reworked a small laundry/powder room for us, with similarly good results. He is always available to talk, very communicative with details on work in progress. Very fair prices, great work and done quickly and thoroughly. Highly recommend.

Walt does an amazing job. We recommend him to our customers and they are always happy, not only with the work his company does, but in how easy and agreeable he and his guys are. Just recently Walt completed a redesign of most of the first floor in a customers home for us. The job included removing and rearranging many walls, a completely new kitchen, full bath, and a laundry room. Best of all Walt's pricing is very competitive! He's a pleasure to partner with.

Walt was very professional through out the entire process. This was my first home remodel project of any true size and Walt was able to help me with all the aspects of the project that I had not though of. Whether it be design details or just simply recommending a place to pick out tile Walt was always spot on. He was always on time and cleanly with his work. He communicated clearly with me though out the project. You could easily tell Walt is a man who takes time in his work and will never cut corners on his craftsmanship. I would recommend Walt to anyone interested in an Honest, hardworking highly experienced builder. I am having him come back in several more the for a few Kitchen projects.

Walt was the second contractor we used while doing major remodeling of our house, a 150+ year-old rowhouse. He gut-renovated our master bedroom and bathroom, kitchen, powder room, and den. What a difference from our first experience with a contractor (which wasn't terrible - just not stellar). Walt is detail-oriented, trustworthy, fair, hardworking, and really just a pleasure to work with. He was on the job himself every day, supervising all the work being done and often doing the most detail-oriented work himself. Whenever we discovered something unexpected during the job -- a virtual certainty in an old house -- he was a good problem-solver and fair about setting a price for any significant additional work. The guys who work with him are really a cut above other workers we've encountered - polite and hardworking. We really trusted all of them and liked them. Walt is the best communicator of any contractor, worker, or specialist we've hired for the house. He is always accessible by email, cell phone, or text, and always makes time to talk. The cons? The project took much longer than Walt's original estimate - but since that seems to be par for the course, I was at least glad to have a contractor who was such a pleasure to have around for that time.

Comments: Walt is a wonderful craftsman. He came and looked at the project gave initial thoughts and then improved the design. It is better than I thought it would be. I was comfortable with him from the start. I had had 5 others look at the project. Two never even gave an estimate. one was 1700 more than what Walt quoted and the last was 600 more. He came in and did it in a day. I can't wait to call him again.

Project: Remodel a Kitchen
Comments: Walt was the contractor from heaven rather than the usual contractor from Hades. His estimate was true. His pricing was realistic and fair. He did not try to gauge us out of money with sudden cost changes for crazy reasons. He was on time, gracious, knowledgeable, cleaned up each day, and gave us a full days worth of work every day of the project. He's a real craftsman and a gentleman. He turned our horrific 100+ year old kitchen into a gourmet dream kitchen that is astounding to look at and work in! He's the BEST!!!

Comments: Mr. Kaufmann was knowledgeable and straight forward when he came over to discuss our needs. He didn't try to sell my husband and me and he didn't have to. He worked with our schedule and our needs and got our kitchen cabinets in and even worked late to get it done for us faster. I would give him another star if it were an option, it was such a pleasure to do business with him. My husband and I are planning future work with Mr. Kaufmann and so are my parents!
