When Roger designed and built our home on Southport, several years ago. He told us; "it was not a matter of if, but a matter of when our neighborhood would flood".
He insisted we let him install his Flood Safe Basement System in our home. Several years later, in 2011, Roger’s system worked perfectly! We could not be more pleased!

We are now in the final stage of construction and I could not imagine how any other builder could possess the knowledge or creativity that Roger has.
It has been a wonderful experience; Roger is so accommodating and will make sure you get exactly what you want! Roger is humorous and so fun to work with; he makes building a fun experience!

We are extremely pleased with the job Roger did on the construction of our wonderful home and the cost saving recommendations that were given without sacrificing the quality of work done.
"Thank you Roger, for taking the time to listen and understand what we wanted to accomplish in building our new home."
The knowledge and expertise were evident in creating an energy efficient home with an outstanding design. We would highly recommend Roger to anyone looking to build the perfect dream home!
Roger was not only fun to work with, it is now nine years later and Roger is still there whenever we need him: in fact Roger came to our house, just last week, to look at some things we need help with!
We love the home Roger Kjonaas designed and built for us on Fox Island; it is a large home, almost 11,000 sq. ft.. Since the house was finished, Roger has helped us update areas and has been great for any questions or help we have asked for.
You could tell right away that he really loves what he does; Roger has a lot of energy and enthusiasm for building great homes. Roger is very honest and at times you have to remind him to bill you for his work. He takes a lot of pride in his houses and you will never, never find someone that will provide follow up for years to come like Roger has done for us.
Roger developed a fantastic flood safe basement system under our basement floor that worked great for us and basically saved our house in the 2011 flood. While everyone else with a basement below the flood waters was flooded, ours stayed completely dry, while Roger’s system worked perfectly.
I think it is unprecedented in the home building industry; Roger is has been there for us for years, ever since he built our home!
Thanks a lot Roger. The Miller family thinks you are the best.

To whom it may concern:
It is our pleasure to recommend Roger Kjonaas as a contractor. Roger skillfully managed all aspects of our custom home project. He's an outstanding contractor, but Roger is much more. He's a strongly moral, ethical man who endeavored to save our money without compromising quality.
Roger has extensive expertise and passion for the science of building. His skill, as a planner and problem solver, adds significantly to the value of our project. Roger didn't just build the house we asked for, he gave us much more.
Roger's values and personality are reflected in the exceptional quality of his subcontractors. They share Roger's pride in a job done well. If something was not just right, Roger and his subcontractors would "make it right" - no problem. When we requested changes or additions to our original plan, they were made at a fair price.
Building a house is an overwhelming undertaking. Nearly every day, there are stressful, expensive decisions. Roger was there every step of the way to help with his experience, honesty, values, and humor. He not only made the process tolerable; Roger made building our home enjoyable.

You were a valuable source of information when we were developing residential designs for Great Plains Gasification Associates. We felt we should convey that we appreciated your assistance and input, especially in matters concerning Building Science.
As a consulting entity, we feel that you expanded our knowledge and inspired us to learn more. The insights we gained relating to insulation, zero infiltration, air to air heat exchangers, and high efficiency heating equipment is exciting news to us.
We believe the a fore mentioned design considerations will be common to the industry in the future, and that you are pioneering this endeavor.
Sincerely,
