Services
At Kanga Construction, we pride ourselves on our holistic approach to building and design, where each project is a unique journey from concept to completion. Our diverse array of services encompasses Construction, Restoration, Woodworking, and Design, each tailored to bring our client’s vision to life with precision and creativity. Leveraging years of expertise and a deep passion for craftsmanship, we ensure that every detail is crafted to meet the highest standards of quality and aesthetics. Let us guide you through transforming spaces into your dream reality, with solutions that are both innovative and timeless.
Kanga Construction is a Key West general contractor delivering custom home construction and new residential construction throughout Key West and the Florida Keys. Our clients come to us for disciplined project management, high-end craftsmanship, and a build process that stays organized from the first walkthrough to final punch. Building in a coastal environment demands higher standards. Materials, fastening, moisture control, and exterior detailing all have to be executed correctly, because salt air and humidity expose weak construction fast.
We approach custom home building with structure and clarity. Early in the process we align on goals, timeline, scope, and budget so the project is realistic and decisions can be made efficiently. We coordinate permitting, scheduling, procurement, and trade sequencing so work progresses without unnecessary delays. As your general contractor in Key West, we maintain clean sites, communicate directly, and manage change orders with transparency so you always understand impact to cost and schedule.
Our custom home construction work includes ground-up homes, major additions, structural reframing, and exterior living spaces designed for island life. We also deliver the interior craftsmanship that defines the final result, including trim packages, built-ins, custom details, and finish carpentry that feels intentional and precise. When projects require coastal-ready windows and doors, exterior assemblies, and durable material selections, we guide those decisions based on long-term performance, not short-term convenience.
A custom home build should feel controlled. You should know what is happening, what is next, and what decisions are needed. We run projects with clear milestones and professional coordination so you can stay confident throughout the build. If you are planning new home construction in Key West, Kanga Construction is positioned to deliver a home that fits your lifestyle, reflects your design priorities, and stands up to the realities of the Florida Keys.
Kanga Construction provides home renovation and remodeling in Key West for homeowners who want a higher standard of execution. A successful remodel does more than update surfaces. It improves function, flow, storage, and livability while protecting value and durability in a coastal climate. As a Key West remodeling contractor, we manage the full scope with clear planning, clean workmanship, and reliable coordination across trades.
We renovate kitchens, bathrooms, condos, and whole homes throughout Key West and the Florida Keys. Many projects involve layout changes, selective structural modifications, and new finish packages that must be sequenced carefully. Older island homes often include hidden issues that can derail a remodel when the contractor is not prepared. We reduce surprises by verifying conditions early, defining scope clearly, and maintaining organized communication throughout the job.
Typical renovation work includes kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodels, tile and flooring packages, drywall and paint, trim and finish carpentry, custom built-ins, door and window upgrades, and exterior improvements when needed. We also coordinate permitting and inspections so the project remains compliant and moves forward without friction. Because Key West conditions are demanding, we help clients select materials and assemblies that perform well in humidity and salt air. The goal is a finished space that looks crisp on day one and continues to look right over time.
Renovation should feel managed, not chaotic. You should have a realistic timeline, an understood scope, and a clean path from demolition to completion. We run a tight process and deliver the details that define quality. If you are searching for home renovation in Key West, Kanga Construction provides remodeling that feels cohesive, professionally coordinated, and built to last.
Kanga Construction provides historic renovation and preservation in Key West for homeowners who want to protect architectural character while upgrading structural integrity, safety, and comfort. Historic homes in Key West are not standard projects. They require a preservation-minded contractor who understands period detail, legacy construction methods, and the realities of building in an island environment.
We begin with a careful assessment of the home, including structure, envelope, and the elements that define its style. Historic properties often have settling, moisture issues, previous repairs, and nonstandard framing that must be handled thoughtfully. We plan methodically, define scope clearly, and sequence work to protect the building throughout the renovation. Our goal is not to erase character. Our goal is to strengthen the home while keeping the proportions, details, and craftsmanship that make it authentic.
Historic renovation commonly includes period-correct detailing, selective repairs, structural reinforcement, code-compliant upgrades, and custom millwork that matches the home’s original intent. We pay close attention to trim profiles, alignment, hardware, and transitions so new work integrates naturally. When modern systems or functional improvements are required, we plan them in a way that supports livability while maintaining visual continuity.
Permitting and approval requirements can be more complex in historic districts. We help clients navigate this by planning ahead, clarifying decisions early, and keeping documentation organized so the project stays on track. If you are investing in a historic home renovation in Key West, you need a contractor who can balance preservation with practical construction standards. We deliver historic renovation and preservation work that respects the past and strengthens the home for the future.
Kanga Construction offers custom woodworking and millwork in Key West for clients who want precise fit, refined finish, and practical function. The right millwork improves how a home works. It adds storage, creates balance, and delivers detail that feels built-in rather than added on. In high-end homes and historic properties, custom carpentry is often the difference between a space that feels standard and a space that feels complete.
We design, fabricate, and install built-ins, cabinetry, shelving systems, feature walls, trim packages, custom doors, stair details, and architectural accents. Many homes in Key West and the Florida Keys are not perfectly square, especially older properties. We measure accurately, fabricate intentionally, and install with care so reveals are clean, lines are consistent, and transitions look correct from every angle. We coordinate millwork with the broader project schedule to protect the quality of installation and finishing.
Coastal conditions matter. Humidity and salt air affect wood movement and finish durability. We help clients choose materials and finishing systems that are appropriate for island conditions, then execute with tight tolerances and professional installation. Whether you are adding custom built-ins, upgrading cabinetry, or refining a full trim package, we focus on detail and longevity.
Custom millwork is not only aesthetic. It solves real problems, from clutter and awkward layouts to underused space. Built-ins create order. Custom cabinetry improves how kitchens and baths function. Finish carpentry unifies a renovation so it feels cohesive. If you are looking for custom millwork in Key West, Kanga Construction delivers woodworking that fits the home, complements the architecture, and holds up in the Florida Keys.
Kanga Construction provides design-build services in Key West for clients who want a streamlined, accountable path from concept to completion. Design-build works because planning and construction stay aligned from the beginning. Instead of handing plans off and hoping pricing, scheduling, and build realities match later, the project is guided as one coordinated effort. This is especially valuable in Key West and the Florida Keys, where permitting, logistics, coastal performance requirements, and older housing conditions can introduce complexity.
Our design-build process begins with discovery. We define your goals, functional needs, and design direction, then establish scope and budget priorities early. From there, we coordinate planning, selections, and scheduling so materials, lead times, and trade sequencing are addressed before construction begins. This reduces surprises and helps keep the project moving. You gain clarity on what is being built, what decisions are required, and how the project will progress.
Design-build is well-suited for renovations, additions, and new home construction where speed, coordination, and quality control matter. It also creates a single point of responsibility. When one team owns the plan and the execution, communication improves, decisions happen faster, and the finished work feels consistent. That consistency shows in layout, detailing, and finish carpentry.
If you are looking for a design-build contractor in Key West, Kanga Construction delivers an organized experience and a high-quality outcome. We lead with structure, coordinate the details, and execute with craftsmanship so the finished project looks cohesive, functions well, and reflects disciplined planning from the start.
Accolades
At Kanga Construction, we are profoundly proud of the recognition we’ve garnered, underscored by prestigious accolades such as the HGTV Ultimate Outdoor Award and Historical Society Awards for both Renovation and New Construction. Kanga Construction has also been honored by Houzz in multiple categories for 9 years running! These honors celebrate our commitment to superior craftsmanship, innovative design, and the preservation of historical heritage, reflecting our dedication to excellence in every project we undertake.

Scott Hutton, the owner of Kanga construction, was great to work with and to get to know. He is a very kind person. He is highly professional and I appreciated his attention to every detail. And I mean every detail. His crew was stellar also, and very professional and friendly. He and his crew really did go above and beyond in so many ways. The work was meticulous. We will enjoy the home he built for us for many years.
I highly recommend Scott Hutton and the whole Kanga construction crew!
