About Kahle Design & Building

Starting in 1954 with our grandfather, Alfred Kahle, our company has been in our family for three generations and is still going strong. Since our beginning, we have followed the motto of “quality comes first” because we always want to be proud of what we have built or created. Our father, Richard Kahle, took over the business in the early 1970s. He helped expand our services to include remodeling, condominium construction, and custom home design and building.

The Kahle Sons Expansions

In 1999, Dave, Bruce, and Kevin Kahle took over the company and further expanded the business to large custom homes, land developments, additional remodeling services, and condos. Although Kevin has since retired, we have continued the work of our father and grandfather to establish Kahle Design & Build as one of the finest home builders in the area. We are proud to be part of a company that is over 70 years old and has the reputation for being the team you can trust.

Dedicated to Customer Service & Quality Solutions

Our commitment to providing you and your family with high-quality renovation, construction, and homebuilding solutions starts with our family. For every job, our team — our family — is put to work for you. We have all been in the family business since we were big enough to assist on job sites, doing everything from digging footers to countersinking the last finish nail. Now, onto our fourth generation: Kurt does the frame layout and design and runs projects, and Bruce runs projects specializing in finish carpentry.

Homeowner Reviews

“I was very happy with my experience using Kahle Design & Build. The staff and project manager were very precise in everything they did, with no wasted motion or effort. They were also great about keeping us in the loop and updated on the progress at all times. Overall, they were really great to work with and the finished project was awesome.”

“What sets Kahle Design & Build apart from the rest is the extremely high quality of work they do. It is worth hiring them because you know you are going to deal with great people who always keep you in the loop. They are incredibly hard-working and did everything they could to finish our job quickly while still maintaining excellent quality standards.”

“Working with Dave and Bruce has been very positive. They are really easy to work with and are very professional. I was referred to them by a family friend who said they do great work and they exceeded my expectations and I would definitely work with them again.”

“It has been a pleasure working with Dave Kahle and his staff. Everyone has went above and beyond on building our home and the work has been beautiful. Whenever we wanted to change things, Dave has always accommodated us. We would definitely recommend him and his company.”

“Kahle’s has completed two home projects for us. The first project was an upstairs remodel/update and the most recent project was an extensive exterior redesign. From beginning to end, they deliver the best service and product. This past year has been difficult for contractors. In light of this, Kahle remained responsive and kept us up to date with regard to scheduling and supply chain issues. The builders pay close attention to detail and possess the craftsmanship that is becoming obsolete. At the end of each work day, the job site was clean of debris and they treated my home with the same respect as their own.”

 

-J.S.

“Kahle Design and Build made our dream home a reality. We were able to design a completely custom home with several of our own ideas included in the plan. The design stage was long and detailed but needed and we are very glad we took the time to consider all options. The construction team then did a quality job from the start, with framing through the final touches. Thank you, KDB!”
