Neil Kelly Company

We hired Neil Kelly Remodeling after meeting designer Tonya Bellusci from Neil Kelly’s Lake Oswego location. Our house is built in the Lindal cedar style and presents unique challenges with post and beam construction. Tonya rose to the challenge with refreshingly creative ideas that provided a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. We were blown away with her beautiful design ideas, and ultimately incorporated a design we were able to squeeze into our budget. Tonya Bellusci is also charmingly down-to-earth with a wonderful sense of humor. She is clearly talented with an eye for quality products and design along with keeping a close eye on the budget. It can be difficult to find a designer with ability to interpret a homeowner’s style and taste and go beyond, and Tonya surpassed our expectations. We ended up with a uniquely tasteful and elegant remodel that I doubt we could have gotten without Neil Kelly or Tonya. Neil Kelly construction is relatively expensive, however the value is in the quality finishes, the experience and skill of the work crew, the top-notch project managers, engineers, quality-minded designers, and subcontractors. Our contract was reviewed with us in-depth beforehand, and Neil Kelly follows the contract to the very letter. The company was very conscientious about completing the work they had agreed to perform. However, any changes, even small ones, typically resulted in additional charges. We were a bit taken aback with that at times, given the high price we had already paid for the project. With that said, I can imagine that these rules and stipulations are in place due to past experience and ultimately prevent misunderstanding. Careful review of the initial contract and specifications is a must. Stan Friesen was our project manager. He was responsive to our needs and more than capable of expertly managing the intricacies of our project. He stayed within the projected timelines and efficiently managed the crew. The lead carpenter on our project, John, was outstanding, with great attention to detail and quality.
