Custom Fabrication and Quality Control

Custom cabinet and countertop capabilities provide greater control over quality, fit, finish and lead times for critical project components.

Strategic Sourcing and Value Engineering

Manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor relationships help identify competitive product options and meaningful savings without compromising performance or warranty requirements.

60+ Years of Combined Experience

Experience across design-build, remodeling, additions, new construction and reconstruction helps KDI anticipate challenges and manage complex projects with confidence.

Insurance Reconstruction and Claim Support

Detailed scopes, photographs, estimates and supplemental documentation help identify covered work that may have been omitted or underfunded. In 2026, KDI's claim-support efforts have helped clients obtain more than $200,000 in additional insurance funding.

Insurance coverage and claim payments are determined solely by the applicable carrier and policy. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Safety and Occupant Protection

Appropriate containment, surface protection, dust-control procedures and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers during dust-producing work—particularly in occupied homes—help maintain a safer, cleaner and more organized environment.
