MAK won five Contractor of the Year Awards for 2010 - including the Judges Choice Award!
We were recognized by the Sacramento Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry in the following categories:
• Entire House Remodel $250,000 to $500,000 (and Judges Choice Award for this project)
• Residential Kitchen $80,000 to $120,000
• Residential Addition $100,000 to $250,000
• Residential Bathroom $30,000 to $60,000

On October 8, 2010, The Greater Sacramento Valley Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) awarded MAK five Contractor of the Year Awardsm including Judge's Choice. MAK won two CotY's in 2009 and three in 2008. To paraphrase the NARI website: "Contractor of the Year Awards (CotY) recognize and reward excellence in the professional remodeling industry. Winning projects exhibit an outstanding approach and result. Factors taken into consideration during judging include: the degree to which the expressed needs of the client were met, evidence of superior craftsmanship, overcoming difficult obstacles, and the innovative uses of materials and/or methods of construction. An impartial panel of judges, experts from within the industry and associated fields, select the CotY Award winners."

Members of NARI are licensed, insured, remodeling professionals who support an organization that promotes the highest standards in ethics and business practices.

MAK Design + Build, Inc. won in the following categories: Residential Addition $100,000-$250,000; Kitchen $80,000-$120,000; Bath $30,000-$60,000; and Whole House Remodel $250,000-$500,000 (this project also won the Judge's Choice award) for projects completed between October 2009 and August 2010. Photos of all of these projects and more are available on MAK's website.

It goes without saying that we are very proud of this recognition and want to thank our wonderful clients and subcontractors who always contribute so much to the success of every project.

2008-02-13 15:42:22   MAK is a fantasic, one stop, residential remodeling company. Disclosure: I'm biased as it is my husband's company. We recognize that your home is your sanctuary and that remodeling can be pretty invasive. Knowing this, Ken emphasizes communication with clients, and employs folks (MAK folks and subcontractor folks) we would feel comfortable having in our own home. We often to do fairly contemporary/modern designs but have done beautiful traditional and historic preservation projects. We recently completed work on a lovely historic home in Old North Davis. No matter the style or size of your remodel MAK is dedicated to delivering the results our clients are looking for - from 1st phase of design to the installation of the final outlet cover.

If you are at all interested in green building, MAK has been a certified green builder through Build It Green http://www.builditgreen.org/ since 2005. Yes, it is easy being green, it looks great too! A kitchen project of ours was featured in the October 2007 "Green" issue of This Old House magazine — how's that for looking good?!? —EllenMoriarty

2010-04-09 11:41:45   We hired MAK for our remodel and they rocked it! We are very pleased with the craftsmanship, creativity, organization and personnel management they showed. Remodels aren't something one dreams about experiencing in their own house as they can be very stressful and inherently have an invasion aspect to them. MAK people were always very courteous and low impact when it came to being in our 'space', which is true for the sub-contractors too. Of course there are situations during any remodel where you have to negotiate unpredictable territory - the project manager, Chris and Ken always stepped forward to hear what we wanted and were willing to rework if necessary to make us happy. My family has been through two remodels with two different companies and MAK came shining through by far.

We highly recommend Ken Kirsch and MAK to anyone who is entertaining the thought of a remodel. Give them a call, for sure! ««Robin Walton«« —REW

2012-01-27 14:12:42   We have had two bathrooms and one kitchen remodeled by MAK Design + Build. Our experience couldn't have been better! Ken, the owner, is a really nice guy and wants to do right by his clients. The design team works with you to create a beautiful and functional vision for your space. Our budget wasn't the biggest, but they really helped us maximize our dollar! The contractors are very sweet, considerate, honest, and hard-working guys who want to make sure they get everything right. One of the contractors came over on the weekend to teach us how to paint properly! Overall, MAK is a group of genuinely nice and honest people. They truly went above and beyond on our two separate remodeling projects. I will definitely use them again for anything else we need! I highly recommend MAK Design + Build! —HilaryHarkins

2012-02-10 15:56:28   Working with MAK was one of the best home improvement decisions we made - and we did work with quite a few different builders and contractors. The whole team works in unison; they meet their deadlines as promised and the finished product is high quality. We appreciate the painless process and their brilliant designs that worked for our circumstances. MAK did not shy away from the challenges our project presented, which all the other builders wanted to avoid and build something that would not make us happy. Even our neighbors complemented on their considerateness and professionalism. We were happy with them so much that ended up working with them on our backyard project after the addition and kitchen remodeling. We are pretty sure backyard will not be the last project we will work with MAK! We highly recommend MAK for any level of home project. —AyseTezcan
