Some of the biggest issues plaguing consumers let down by contractors involve dishonesty, a lack of communication about what's going on and when the contractors will be there, and contractors who disappear for weeks in the middle of a job.

Local consumers report to us that the solution to all of those is the Marin County firm Kabage Construction in Novato CA and John Kabage who since 1984 has built a reputation for honesty, thorough communication and good results for all types of remodeling, including cabinets, closets, decks, kitchens, and with a particular expertise in bathrooms, all in a way that has kept Kabage Construction in high demand among locals in the know, based solely on referrals and repeat customers.

Proven Honesty & Expertise From Kabage Construction & John Kabage in Novato CA
Too many contractors seem to forget that what is merely their latest project is a big deal to you, especially when you're living in the space while it's being worked on. As a result, they become cavalier about letting you know when they'll be there each day or if they'll be late. Worse is when they simply disappear without word for days or weeks, leaving an unfinished state of disarray at your place and leaving you wondering what's going on.

In contrast, Kabage Construction in Novato CA and owner John Kabage is known for being considerate of clients' needs. He doesn't disappear, leaving projects unfinished, to go work for another customer. And if a small delay does come up, he lets clients know exactly why rather than leaving them insecure and wondering like other contractors can.

John shares, "We make it a point to let customers know what our schedule is on an ongoing basis. We tell them if we won't be there for a few hours on a given day, or if there's an unforeseeable delay, like if materials arrive damaged and we have to wait for a replacement.  It's a matter of us giving them that respect."

Where this industry has a reputation for dishonest players, consumers told us how grateful they are to have found an honest one in John Kabage and Kabage Construction. This was reflected in multiple consumer reports to us like one from Lynn, who said, "John is honest; he is so honest. He's probably one of the most honest people I know in the world." Another client, named Carole, reported to us, "He has done a lot of remodeling in my home. He's a great person to work with. He's very honest."

Unlike most companies in this industry that have to constantly hustle for new business, the high customer satisfaction from Kabage Construction has kept them in demand based on repeat business and referrals to others. Consumer reports to us show this, like one from Bob, who reported to us, "Regarding John Kabage and Kabage Construction, I'm a real estate broker and own apartment buildings, and over the last three years he's done a lot of work for me. I also refer him to sales. He's been doing it a long time and has the common sense that lacks in a lot of journeymen. I think his training over the years was superior. He can do it all."

The consumer named Carole told us, "Regarding Kabage Construction, I have used Kabage Construction for many years. They're the only people that I use. John has always done an excellent job. I have recommended him to a number of my friends."

A consumer named Francis reported to us, "I have a very high recommendation for John Kabage. He has installed four showers for us that included an apartment that we own and our home bathroom and they have all been excellent work. You'll find John very businesslike and very upfront. You would like John to do your work." A consumer named Mario said, "I highly recommend John. I've used him many times over the years on my properties. Feel free to use him. You'll be happy with his performance."

Marin County resident John Kabage lives in Novato CA with his wife of 43 years, who's a local teacher. His adult son AJ grew up working in the family business, as he still does today. John Kabage was a stationary engineer for Fireman's Fund in Novato CA in 1981 when he did his own 1,800 square foot addition to his home and got his contractor license to save on material costs. The project went so well it was clear he'd found his true calling and founded Kabage Construction in 1984. Friends describe John as hard working and reliable, while customers say he is very knowledgeable, thorough, and honest.

With so many bad choices out there, ones that disappear in the middle of projects, who don't let you know when they will or won't be on site each day, and who can't be counted on to tell the truth, consumers reported to us as grateful to have found Marin County firm Kabage Construction in Novato CA and owner John Kabage, who for over three decades has demonstrated honesty and expertise in all manner of remodeling work such that they stay busy from referrals and repeat business from happy customers.

As put by Elisa in a consumer report to us, "About Kabage Construction, I have used them for more than a decade. Extremely meticulous. Great at problem solving. Honest as the day is long. Very fair, and really dedicated to what they're doing.  If there's a problem, they'll figure it out and they'll do it to the best of their ability and that is excellent. I can tell you, they're wonderful."
