Kaya was the 1st person to help when I moved into my new home in 2016.Together with her assistant then, they built a fence in my front garden. They were very punctual and professional in their services, the fence is still good. I am very happy with her services.

Kaya is awesome and a thorough professional. She and her team do amazing work, highly recomend!

Kaya is a truly exceptional general contractor who stands out in a male-dominated industry. Her unique blend of ambition, education, and multi-layered expertise allows her to tackle projects that would intimidate many.

From complex moves that involve packing heirlooms and fragile items to providing personalized consulting services, Kaya demonstrates a remarkable ability to manage a wide range of tasks with precision and care. She possesses an intimate knowledge of the quirks of the San Juan Islands, allowing her to navigate challenges effortlessly and ensure that every project runs smoothly.

Kaya’s willingness to assist anyone, regardless of personal differences, speaks volumes about her character. Her resourcefulness and extensive network empower her to handle complex projects, whether they involve new construction, transport, demolition, property preservation, or property management. She has a particular expertise in caring for high-end properties, ensuring that each is treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.

What truly sets Kaya apart is her commitment to equitable service. No client receives preferential treatment based on compensation; she genuinely shows up for everyone with fairness and urgency. Her clear and direct communication style fosters trust and ensures that all parties are informed and engaged throughout the process.

In summary, Kaya is not only a remarkable general contractor but also a compassionate and dedicated professional. Her ability to balance complexity with personal care makes her an invaluable asset in the industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Kaya and Kare Contracting for any project, confident that they will exceed expectations with their expertise and integrity.

I have done some work for this business and found there is a lot of concern for attention to detail and making clients feel good about the work done.
Kaya has called others out in the industry for less scrupulous behavior and decided to not be taken advantage of by some clients that didn't want to hold up their end, which is just part of the landscape of that work. But being scrupulous will earn you negative reviews sometimes by those trying to gaslight everyone.
I recommend the business.

Been a long standing customer for the past ten years and Kaya and her team have always been wonderful to work with. Professional, prompt, and attention to detail like no other. Five stars and would recommend their services to anyone!

Like many people living on San Juan Island, we find that getting things done around the house - putting up fences, doing masonry work, making additions or alterations, replacing electrical fixtures- is tricky. Contractors don’t return calls, aren’t available for months, or promise to show up but never arrive. KARE contracting is different. Communication is excellent and prompt. Appointments are kept, work is done quickly and well at a reasonable price. Thank you, Kaya! Long may you and your business thrive!

In my opinion... She is absolutely a thief!!!! She has ripped off landlords and went from one place to the next, not paying rent or lodging. Has shorted other contractors and stolen thousands from others. She called home land security after viewing a child's genitalia and made an assumption of mutilation. Causing a family to have unnecessary trauma and an uproar in the community. She has used and manipulated many locals spouting obscenities untruths. If you value your assets, privacy, and security, steer clear of this lady!

My wife and I moved out of an older log cabin that we had been in for 5 years and decided that it would be easiest to have someone else do the deep clean for us. Kaya was very responsive, they showed up when they said they would and did a great job in an older place with lots of nooks and crannies. On top of all that, the final invoice was pretty much exactly what we were quoted. We will definitely be using the same service in the future should we need it, as well as recommending it to anyone who needs some professional cleaning.

This con artist has stolen 10,000.00 from me, kept making excuses why she couldn't get me a contract after she took the 10k. This is the slickest woman who knows absolutely nothing about construction she tries to play a middle man and scam more money off people and try to take credit for a few guys left that will work for her. She's even trying to become a sovereign person to get out of paying 19 customers back that she took from. SCAMMER! BUYER BEWARE! The nerve to steal large amounts of money and go buy a house with it. My god.

Kaya and her team have been extremely reliable and communicative when cleaning our short term rental property. The services they provide are incredible, and we get amazing feedback from everyone that stays. We are so happy we found them!

When you’re looking for someone to do work on a remote island, sometimes you really want someone who will reliably show up. In addition to the work I wanted done—from yard clean-up and maintenance, to a deep clean of the house, to sanding and staining a deck, to repairing “interesting” choices made by past workers, to electrical & plumbing—Kare Kontracting showed up when I was off-island and the Town let me know they’d detected a leak. Twice! I really appreciate knowing I can text Kaya if something comes up. Her crew are professional and thorough and obviously know what they’re doing.

We have been using Kaya's company for over a year now.
We started with yard maintenance and now use her for windows, roofs, gutters and just about anything else we need.
We are very pleased with the friendly service she provides.

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
