“The quality of our home on Kauai is extraordinary.”
David P Steinman, Kahili Quarry Estate
Dear Kevin:
This is a letter of recommendation I promised to write for you. Rather than addressing it "To Whom It May Concern,” I thought I would send it directly to you with the suggestion that you share it in this form with whomever you would like. It comes with my and Catherine’s warmest Regards.
Kevin Hanna built our house on Kauai. He did a wonderful job and I am delighted to serve as a reference for him.
Some builders are good at building fine, custom homes. Some are good at dealing with clients. Some have a special touch for coordinating among architects, subcontractors and all of the other people involved in building custom homes. And some builders are good at building in difficult markets and environments. But very few builders are good at all of these things. Kevin is one of those few.
The quality of our home on Kauai is extraordinary. Other contractors on Kauai who have seen it have commented to us on the exceptional execution and precise attention to detail expressed by Greenwood Home’s craftsmanship.
For the last several years Kauai has been both a sellers’ real estate market as well as a contractors’ delight, with all of the local high-end builders booked a year or more in advance. Having built on Kauai before undertaking our project, Kevin knew exactly how to manage in this difficult environment, even flying in certain crews from the mainland in order to save within budget. His commitment to do that together with his extraordinary quality standards produced a home which has met all of our expectations in every regard.
Kevin is also a client’s builder. By that I mean that his singular goal has been to produce the house we wanted. He never argues. He never says he can’t, and he managed both us and our very precise and demanding architect in a sprit of cooperation to which I give most of the credit not just for a great house but for a very satisfied client as well.
We are now at the tail end of the punch list work and Kevin assigned three Greenwood Homes craftsman full-time to complete all of these final details to our and our architect’s satisfaction. They have been at the house every day and have applied to all of the punch list items the same diligence and care which so obviously went into the overall construction. I cannot say enough about the quality of the people employed at Greenwood Homes. Their attitudes and their work standards are of the highest caliber.
In short, I am happy to recommend Kevin Hanna and Greenwood Homes without reservation. If I can answer any specific questions please feel free to call me.
Cordially, David P. Steinmann

Dear Kevin:
I feel compelled to write this letter to express our appreciation for your superior customer service and the quality of house you build. As you know, my wife and I thoroughly investigated the alternatives we had prior to purchasing a home in Incline Village. Having built our own home, it gave us insight into quality of construction, which lead us confidently to choose your property. In addition, an extra we did not anticipate was your warm, friendly, yet professional demeanor, along with your responsiveness and “can do” attitude towards our special projects. As a result, our experience with you ahs exceeded our expectations, which is not an easy thing to do.
Respectfully,
William S. Ashmore
