What Our Clients Say About Us
"James and Rob Kennedy of Legacy Custom Builders... as proud owners of the company, one of them was on site at our home every single day. Every member of their crew or sub-contractor brought in were incredibly respectful of our wishes and wants, and the comfort of our entire family. There are still great businesses out there with owners who take pride in their craft, genuinely care about their clients and who only operate with the utmost of integrity."
Alyssa A.
"It was by far the most stress free, uneventful construction job we've experienced. James Kennedy and Rob Kennedy checked in often and made sure everything was always moving along on time and smoothly. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing any construction work."
Shannon M.
"After Legacy remodeled our 100 year old kitchen, I would never hire anyone else to work on our house. They were also exceptional communicators, keeping us posted at every turn and never making us feel neglected. Legacy and their crew exceeded my expectations and gave me my perfect kitchen."
Andrea G.
"James and Rob are great to work with. Very satisfied with the quality of their work. They do everything they can to give you what you want and that you are happy with the final result. This is the second time I have used Legacy Custom Builders and would hire them again. Highly recommend them."
Charles C.
"The Legacy process is transparent so the client can clearly see what the project will actually cost. There are no hidden fees...only honesty, integrity, and a commitment to doing things the right way. No project is too big or too small...both James and Rob make sure no matter how big or small the project is...the client is made to feel that they are the most important."

“You guys rock! This has been so much easier of a process than we ever imagined! We are so happy with the progress & couldn’t ask for a better builder!”
Miki J.
“We wish to thank you for the completion of the work. The level of construction and professionalism left the client speechless. We feel blessed to have had your team complete this work.”
DID, LLC
"We think what sets Legacy a notch above anything we've previously experienced is the way the brothers treat each other, their main staff, and their sub-contractors. It's easy for them to treat others with respect, because that's the way they treat each other. They are surrounded by a small core of hard-working, thoughtful and imaginative people who seem undaunted by any task, by any surprise, even by any weather. Here it is, our unequivocal recommendation of Legacy Custom Builders, LLC."
Lana & Michael

We are so thrilled, beyond belief. A special thanks for all the special out-of-the-ordinary invoicing. Everything is incredible.”
Carol & Michael L.
“We know that a company is a reflection of its owners — and so we approach every project committed to building not just a great home, but a lasting relationship.”
