Kaizen Construction

My family purchased an early 1890s Farmhouse in Shelton. It had been in various states of remodel when we took over ownership. As soon as we brought in Kaizen to take over the process of remodeling, Gabe worked to understand our vision of bringing the home up to date but maintaining the character of its original build. He made every effort to source material from the original time period and when he couldn’t, he chose materials that fit the esthetic. When the architect would come back with plans that didn’t feel right, he collaborated with me to make the changes happen that best fit the needs of our space. The entire process was clearly communicated and when a structural curve ball was thrown our way, Gabe was quick to give us a fairly priced solution and Gabe’s problem-solving allowed us to create a roof deck with an incredible view. By the end of our work together, Gabe felt like an old friend - we would have family and friends visit the site and Gabe was incredibly personal and respectful to all of us.

I look forward to building with him and his team in the future. I highly recommend Kaizen to anyone who is looking to build or remodel a house that you want to feel at home in.

Six years ago my husband, Scott and I approached Gabe with a homemade house model and subsequently a set of plans for our dream retirement home on Island Lake in Shelton. Our inspiration was an old fashioned craftsman bungalow. Gabe worked with us every step of the way to achieve this, even in spite of some very difficult engineering and large beams. It came together beautifully! Our greatest compliment is when neighbors comment from the lakeside, that our home looks like it has been here all along.
