About Ben
Ben Kissell started Kissell Home Designs in 2019 and runs the work himself. He builds the outdoor spaces where his own family spends time.
Animals and the outdoors are part of home. Ben keeps a flock in a coop he built by hand, and that same care carries into every project.
Why Kissell
Clear, consistent updates from the first call to the final walkthrough. You always know where your project stands.
Every deck board, shingle, and tile installed the way it should be. The crew takes visible pride in the work.
Ben gives you a real start window upfront, not a date that falls apart the first time it rains. If something unforeseen comes up on your job, he handles it before moving to the next one.
Interior, exterior, new construction, remodeling. You deal with one person and everything gets handled.

“Ben, Mark, and Tommy completed a full kitchen and basement bath remodel of our 1960s home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We are most impressed with the attention to detail and passion for quality Ben and his crew exhibited. They truly take pride in their work.”

“We recently had a roof replaced by Ben and his crew. Everything went very smoothly. Ben, Tommy and the workers were friendly, professional and very hard workers. I would recommend Kissell Home Designs for anyone needing any type of home improvement.”

“Built a nice workshop for me. Foundation, floor, electrical and structure are all well done, including 2 x 8 wall studs. They cleaned up every day, no trash left over. I would recommend you give them a call.”
