Kind Words From Clients

Over the years our clients have said some very nice things about us and about our work, but it is a two way street. We have had some pretty great clients. Here are some of their comments:

I have known Eric personally for over twenty-five years. In his personal life, Eric is an extremely high quality individual. He has a wonderful family, is active in the community in both civic and charitable activities and is a loyal father, husband, and friend.

Professionally, Eric has done two major building projects for our firm along with many smaller TI type projects. All projects have been completed in a very satisfactory manner, on time and on budget. Eric and his firm are excellent at setting timelines and are proactive throughout the project.

Eric and KeltyCo are well thought of by anyone I know who have either utilized their services or know him personally. I have no hesitation in unconditionally recommending Eric L. Keller and KeltyCo General Contractors.

Timothy M. Wilson, President, Mitchell Land and Improvement Company

I wanted to write you a quick note of thanks for a job well done on our storage renovation project. As you know, I had already interviewed other contractors through my out-of-area architect prior to meeting you. I was not pleased with their bids and felt that they were not competitive. I was pleased to have you come into the picture at that point through a referral and alter the course of the project. You were sensitive to our budget constraints and worked with us at every turn.

Your professionalism and good nature were evident from the beginning. As you know, I ended up having a difficult relationship with my architect throughout the project. I always appreciated your advice and counsel and your willingness to bridge that relationship at times. During the building project itself, when we had ceased communication with the architect, you guys really rallied to fill in the gaps and get us through. Your relationships with the various city departments and with the city inspectors made for a very smooth permitting and later finalizing process.

I truly appreciated your input through out and the quality of the work provided by the Keltyco team and your sub-contractors. Your Superintendent on the job, Dean Mullins was a joy to work with. His attention to detail and his obvious concern for the client was much appreciated. I didn’t feel as though I had to babysit the job whatsoever.

All I can say Eric, is that I would recommend your company to anyone looking to build or renovate their commercial buildings. Bottom line is that I have a great looking building and office. We are already receiving great reviews from the neighborhood and from our customers. Thanks again.

Brad Hooper, Managing Partner, Store N Save Self Storage

We have had the opportunity to work with Eric Keller and other key members of the Kelty Co. team on several of our leasehold improvement build-outs that we have done in our Long Beach and Orange County offices over the last ten years. Each and every one of the projects has come in early and has always been either on or under budget – we have never had any surprises to our original expectations. We have always appreciated and enjoyed working with the Project Superintendant assigned from the Kelty Co. team as well.

Project status, schedule, and periodic construction status meetings have been invaluable in managing each of our projects to a successful and timely completion.

Jack E. Hinsche, Managing Partner, Emeritus

I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your team for your exemplary construction work over the last 16 years performing tenant improvements and building capital improvement projects at The Swig Company’s class A high rise office building in Long Beach, CA. Your team of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals have always been a pleasure to work with and your exceptional high end work and work ethic have consistently exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, my tenants have been very pleased with the build-out of their suites, not only for your quality workmanship that you and your subs demonstrate, but also meeting budgets and deadlines as well. I also greatly appreciate the can-do positive attitude you always have in resolving issues that arise in the field and your willingness to step up to find acceptable resolutions.

I am fortunate to have worked with you and your staff for so many years in Long Beach and I look forward to working with you on future projects in Los Angeles and Pasadena as well.

Cory J. Kristoff, CPM®, RPA, Vice President – Asset Management, The Swig Company
