In short: They're honest, they do *excellent* work, they do it when they say they will, they stand behind their work, and they do it for how much they said they will - and that amount is very fair. Those things alone are hard to find in this day and age, and make this company the gold standard among contractors. If you want to read a little longer: Our floors collapsed - I mean, joists and beams buckled, subfloor rotted through to the point we were falling through when we tried to walk on it. A Kiddy crew came out to shore up the floor from below just so we could get our furniture and belongings out so they could start work. And when they did start work - right on time, when they said they would - they gutted our house. Ripped out every bit of subfloor, all the old joists and beams - the inside of our house was nothing but walls hanging five feet over dirt. Over the next week and a half, they installed new beams and joists, and piers where needed under the beams because the original company that constructed the house didn't put enough in to provide adequate structural support. Kiddy's did - they rebuilt our floor far better than when it was first built, and made our house much stronger to boot. They cut no corners, and didn't try to save a nickel by using sub-standard material - everything they did was done in an efficient, craftsmanlike manner. After they were done doing all that, they encapsulated the entire crawlspace, and installed a dehumidifier as well. Now our floors will never be subject to excess moisture and condensation again (from below). That crawlspace is sealed *tight,* and, to top it all off - and this is really going the extra mile - they installed a runoff catch/drain pipe under the foundation, completely around the *entire house,* and piped that out into a drain field so that if any water were to try to seep into the crawlspace from outside by rain runoff or other flooding, it will simply be carried away by the *4-inch* drain pipe and leave our crawlspace unaffected. Perhaps most amazing - to me - is that when Barry Kiddy came out to first see our floors, he crawled around under the house for awhile, came out, and said "I can fix all this for about $XX,XXX." I was in construction for decades, and owned an electrical contracting company in S. Florida with my father. I wasn't there when Barry gave the estimate, so I started asking my wife, "What does that price include?", "What kind of guarantee is there?", "What about change orders???" - which are pretty much a constant in construction, in my experience. She didn't ask him any of that because she's never been in construction - she just said, "He said he could fix it, and gave me a price. He seems like he really knows what he's doing and he seems really trustworthy, so I hired him." Uh oh. No contract, no written scope of work. OK, I thought, it is what it is. I explained to her that, at least in construction in S. Florida, pretty much every job I've ever seen of this scope comes with change orders. It's because the contractor will run into things they couldn't have foreseen until they get into the work. I told her to budget for about 10% to 15% above what he quoted. I also really didn't know what his quote entailed, other than "he said he'd replace the floor, meaning the boards underneath the floor and what do you call it? The subfloor," my wife told me. She said we'd have to replace the flooring above that. So I though - OK, fair price for that. But my thinking of a fair price didn't include the dehumidifier, the encapsulation, the extra drain pipe around the foundation - I mean, my thinking of a fair price was for a LOT less work and material. When I saw all they'd done, my heart kind of sank a little, but I was extremely happy with the work. So, expecting to get a bill for several thousands of dollars more than he'd said, the day they were done I said, "OK - let's settle up. How muc
