Kaya is awesome and a thorough professional. She and her team do amazing work, highly recomend!

Kaya is a truly exceptional general contractor who stands out in a male-dominated industry. Her unique blend of ambition, education, and multi-layered expertise allows her to tackle projects that would intimidate many.

From complex moves that involve packing heirlooms and fragile items to providing personalized consulting services, Kaya demonstrates a remarkable ability to manage a wide range of tasks with precision and care. She possesses an intimate knowledge of the quirks of the San Juan Islands, allowing her to navigate challenges effortlessly and ensure that every project runs smoothly.

Kaya’s willingness to assist anyone, regardless of personal differences, speaks volumes about her character. Her resourcefulness and extensive network empower her to handle complex projects, whether they involve new construction, transport, demolition, property preservation, or property management. She has a particular expertise in caring for high-end properties, ensuring that each is treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.

What truly sets Kaya apart is her commitment to equitable service. No client receives preferential treatment based on compensation; she genuinely shows up for everyone with fairness and urgency. Her clear and direct communication style fosters trust and ensures that all parties are informed and engaged throughout the process.

In summary, Kaya is not only a remarkable general contractor but also a compassionate and dedicated professional. Her ability to balance complexity with personal care makes her an invaluable asset in the industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Kaya and Kare Contracting for any project, confident that they will exceed expectations with their expertise and integrity.

I have done some work for this business and found there is a lot of concern for attention to detail and making clients feel good about the work done.
Kaya has called others out in the industry for less scrupulous behavior and decided to not be taken advantage of by some clients that didn't want to hold up their end, which is just part of the landscape of that work. But being scrupulous will earn you negative reviews sometimes by those trying to gaslight everyone.
I recommend the business.

Like many people living on San Juan Island, we find that getting things done around the house - putting up fences, doing masonry work, making additions or alterations, replacing electrical fixtures- is tricky. Contractors don’t return calls, aren’t available for months, or promise to show up but never arrive. KARE contracting is different. Communication is excellent and prompt. Appointments are kept, work is done quickly and well at a reasonable price. Thank you, Kaya! Long may you and your business thrive!

Kaya was the 1st person to help when I moved into my new home in 2016.Together with her assistant then, they built a fence in my front garden. They were very punctual and professional in their services, the fence is still good. I am very happy with her services. 👍

My wife and I moved out of an older log cabin that we had been in for 5 years and decided that it would be easiest to have someone else do the deep clean for us. Kaya was very responsive, they showed up when they said they would and did a great job in an older place with lots of nooks and crannies. On top of all that, the final invoice was pretty much exactly what we were quoted. We will definitely be using the same service in the future should we need it, as well as recommending it to anyone who needs some professional cleaning.

When you’re looking for someone to do work on a remote island, sometimes you really want someone who will reliably show up. In addition to the work I wanted done—from yard clean-up and maintenance, to a deep clean of the house, to sanding and staining a deck, to repairing “interesting” choices made by past workers, to electrical & plumbing—Kare Kontracting showed up when I was off-island and the Town let me know they’d detected a leak. Twice! I really appreciate knowing I can text Kaya if something comes up. Her crew are professional and thorough and obviously know what they’re doing.
