"We’ve used Ken Kennard for several different home projects over the past 2 years and they have always exceeded our expectations. They are responsive, show up on time, are detail oriented, and produce beautiful work. This summer we asked for a gazebo to be built on our deck on a short timeline so it could be ready for a party, and Ken Kennard was able to get it done even earlier than we expected and it’s now one of favorite parts of our backyard! If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality work, Ken Kennard is the place to go."

"We have work with Ken Kennard construction multiple times on our vacation home. This is a family business that takes deep pride in the workmanship and relationship with their customers. Our first project was a total gut and redo of our home. We worked with an architect to lay it out but it came to life when Ken Kennard and his team translated it to detail and outstanding workmanship. I would highly recommend Kennard Construction, you will not be disappointed.  5 STAR"

"Ken is our "go to" guy when it comes to having projects done on our LBI home.  He listens carefully to what we want, and gets the job done with a high degree of quality, professionalism and at a fair price.  And he always stands behind his work.  We highly recommend him!"

"Fantastic experience working with Ken Kennard. He went above and beyond for my wife and me and was incredibly accommodating throughout the project. We couldn't be happier with the results!"

“We had the absolute pleasure of renovating our shore home with Ken Kennard this past year (2025). Ken and his team completed our project on time and on budget. Their workmanship coupled with attention to detail makes them one of the elite builders on the Island. My wife and I highly recommend Ken.”

— Phil DiGiacomo

"We have good memories of the 18 months Ken and his crew spent bringing "the train station" in Barnegat Light back to life.

This was more than a "gut" renovation - the building was about to collapse - but little by little it came back to life, a new and improved version. Since that time I have turned to Ken for advice and recommendations, which he has been kind enough to provide. If you keep an open mind and listen to his ideas for completing your project, you will be very happy."

"Ken and his son Kenneth along with their excellent crew did a substantial renovation of our home in Beach Haven including enlarging the house, adding decks, new HVAC and electric, new roof, floors, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchen--a top to bottom renovation. His recommendations and suggestions improved the project and in many cases saved us money. It was a pleasure to deal with someone who said "yes" to our many requests rather than ignoring them. They personally were on the job everyday either doing the work themselves or supervising subcontractors. While we were traveling they even sent us daily pictures of the progress. The job was completed on-time and for the price agreed upon. We knew we were hiring the right company to do our renovation when prior clients continued to allow Ken to show their home to prospective clients. We now do the same. We enthusiastically recommend Ken and Kenneth!"

"A few years ago, in consultation with our architect, we selected Ken Kennard as our builder for a major addition and overall renovation to our home on LBI, and it turned out to be a great project undertaken by great people, who we now consider to be friends. When you can say that about your building contractor several years later, it probably means you found the right guys! We didn't know Ken or his son Kenneth at all before the project began, but in the course of working with them for the better part of a year, we came to have complete trust and confidence in both of them and their crew. They did everything possible to be sure we were fully satisfied with their work, and we were. Most of our project was done without us being present, and the Kennards did an excellent job in communicating the progress being made by sending us pictures and status updates by text on a continuous basis. Their workmanship was excellent, and it was apparent that they wanted us to be totally pleased with their work, and we were!"

"We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Ken Kennard and his team at Chas S. Kennard Building Contractor. From start to finish, their attention to detail was truly meticulous and the quality of their craftsmanship shows in every part of the project. Their communication was outstanding as well; they kept us updated almost daily, answered all of our questions promptly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They also finished on time, which is such a rare and appreciated trait. Most importantly, they were completely honest and transparent throughout the entire process. It’s clear they take pride in their work and their integrity. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. We will absolutely be hiring them again for future projects!"
