Testimonals
As a Home Energy Consultant, I work with builders
while the house is under construction. I inspect the framing,
insulation and other components, to meet the certification requirements
of Energy Star, LEED for Homes and BuiltGreen Colorado.
Working with builders to meet energy requirements, I see important
decisions being made at critical phases of construction, when
time, money and method all seem to be conflicting. These decisions
reveal what is important to the builder in any given moment.
I have been continually impressed by the decisions
made by Kodiak Enterprises, Inc., during the construction of the
homes they build. They listen to suggestions, give feedback and
implement the suggestions in real-time. They realize that the
energy efficiency requirements will create a better house, and
that is what’s important to Kodiak. They consider the long-term
consequences of each decision, and are well-versed in modern building
science techniques.
Kodiak recently completed a custom home that
received a HERS rating of 45, meaning that it is 55% more energy
efficient than an identical house that just meets required building
codes. I inspected this home during construction and performed
a blower door test upon completion, and found it to be one of
the best homes in the Colorado mountain region, from an Energy
perspective. Kodiak achieved this distinction with some new methods,
but mostly standard methods with the highest quality execution.
The framing, air barriers, and insulation were installed with
great precision. Very impressive indeed.
It’s refreshing to work with a company
that listens to my ideas, discusses them, and implements them
as long as codes, finances and other factors allow. I know that
when I go to inspect one of Kodiak’s projects, there is
a 99% chance that everything has been done right the first time.
That’s a great contrast to the projects I must re-inspect
numerous times, without an acceptable result. This is when builders
show their true colors, and Kodiak has proven itself to be dedicated
to the highest quality construction.
It is a given that best-practices are used
on Kodiak projects. Corners are not cut and a great deal of thought
and consideration goes into every decision. A high-quality, energy-efficient,
user-friendly, comfortable, durable, healthy house is the end
result.

Mike and I send the entire Koidak team, particularly
David, a huge congratulations for their build for us in the Ruby
Ranch. For anyone who visits the Kodiak website, with the pictures
of our home, you will see why Kodiak was awarded “Best Exterior
Design and Elevation” for our entry in the 2006 Parade of
Homes. The photos of the interior reveal that our magnificent
home was completed with care for every detail. Everyone who visits
is awed by the unique finishes and detail, and the exacting use
of wood and stone. In our living room, you willl notice the custom
timber frame design, the hand-made railings on the balcony and
stairs, the beautiful tumbled limestone two-sided fireplace and
curved timber mantle, and the unique tinted plaster walls. All
features were not only built by the Kodiak team, but also designed
and engineered by them as well. David made everything look exactly
how Mike and I wanted the home to look, and we were right to leave
all the fine details to our builder to handle. We cannot say that
building a custom home was an easy process, as anyone experienced
can attest to, but what a great experience to work with such a
great builder who helped us accomplish our dream. Thank you Dave
and your company for giving of your very best.

Throughout the construction process, from
site selection to move-in, David Koons was a joy to work with.
We were working within a fairly tight budget, and his expertise
allowed him to foresee many small issues and resolve them before
they caused any additional expense. He was even able to
suggest options for interior furnishing and finishes that saved
money and looked not just good, but superior. David's attention
to detail during the construction process kept the process on
schedule, even through a cold and snowy Summit County winter!
We were very pleased to work with David on our home, and we would
highly recommend him to anyone thinking of building a home in
the Rockies.

David:
We never dreamed that building a home of this quality and atmosphere
could be accomplished so quickly. The relatively few hiccups
we incurred in the construction process are a testament to your
planning & diligence. Yes it was a lot of work but the result
is outstanding. I can't imagine a better outcome than we have
achieved. The fit & finish is wonderful. The quality workmanship
is noticeable. Congratulations on a superior accomplishment.

Very nice site--excellent projects. My wife and I are beginning
to think a project to build a new home in Summit County or thereabouts
would be a lot of fun and economically rewarding. We have not looked
at land, floor plans, or contracting yet, so we don't really know
what we're talking about--yet. cheers, Jerry

Looks like you build some very high quality
homes. They
would be great for vacation rentals. The internet has made the
return on investment for vacation rentals much better by greatly
reducing advertising cost. If you have clients that rent
their homes, let them know about vacationrentals.com. Thanks!

Dear Dave:
Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful work on the various
additions to our house on Moonstone Road in Breckenridge, Colorado.
We had heard horror stories about construction projects in Summit
County, but you and your crew were the greatest. We know that
our early 70's house and its topography presented some challenges,
but the results of your work are just beautiful. The new kitchen,
the enlarged living room, a big bedroom with closet space and
all that deck have really improved the livability of our house
- and the boxers all agree that they have the coolest dog house
in Summit County. Thanks again for the beautiful job - all the
more impressive as it was all done through the winter. We
feel so lucky that you did the work on our house.
Best Regards,
Lisa Leach & Wayne Goad

Dear Dave:
I want to thank you for the opportunity to help you recently with
financial planning for your retirement. In addition, I'd like
to comment on the home you recently completed up on Indian Brush
Trail. I'm very impressed with the way the home turned out – it
is absolutely gorgeous! Coming from a family with extensive background
in construction, I noticed your attention to detail is unparalleled,
especially for construction in Summit County. You do excellent
work and I will most definitely consider Kodiak for my new home
when I am ready to build. Just thought you’d appreciate
the feedback.
Respectfully,

Dear Dave:
This is just a short note to thank you again for the beautiful
job you did on the addition to our home. The addition, remodel,
and upgrades turned out to be everything we hoped for. This is
due, in no small part, to your professionalism and skill, as
well as the skill and craftsmanship of those that work for you.
We greatly appreciate your attention to detail and your patience
and understanding with regard to the concerns which we expressed
during the course of construction. As a trial lawyer who litigates
in the construction area, I understand, better than most, the
difficulties and special challenges an addition to an existing
home presents. You and your company were certainly up for the
challenge and Kathy and I greatly appreciate your efforts.
Very truly yours,
Mike and Kathy Burman

I just wanted to say how thrilled we are that
you are our builder again to enlarge our Colorado home. Now,
after 5 years, we have decided it will not be just our getaway,
but our permanent residence. It
is so great to trust that, even though we are thousands of miles
from the site, you will take care of us as you did in 1996. We
know that we don't have to worry it will be done well. Thank you,
Dave, and we can't wait to see the final result!

I have worked for Dave and I know he gets all the details right.
When I build my home Kodiak Enterprises will be the contractor.
