Omg! Kistler&Son Bathroom Remodeling was a Godsend! The son Kevin and his crew are amazing craftsmen! I was so pleased how they took the time to ensure that the design and supplies necessary was spot on! They took out one of those flimsy fiberglass surrounds that all the joints had excess amounts of caulk to prevent leaks, you know, one of those same day bathroom install kind of showers! Never again! From the very beginning I knew I was dealing with a quality company. Kevin sent me to a tile center to choose the kind of material, colors and accent pieces! Not an easy task with so many choices! Thankfully a pro was there to assist! Kevin took into consideration my health needs being a disabled veteran. Doubled the size of my shower, the hinged glass door was extra wide providing the additional room I needed to access the shower. I have a tile bench the entire width of my shower, what a big help that is! The tile work is precision! There aren’t tiny little cut pieces to cover the walls or floor! That’s a sign of poor quality craftsmanship! Not the case with these guys. Nice large pieces that have balance top to bottom and side to side!! I have two types of shower sprayers. One that is stationary and the other is a system that slides up and down on a rod as well as a detachable nozzle. Love this shower! Kevin installed new lighting as well as one of the quietest shower fans ever, what a difference! Another great addition was a taller base on the toilet which makes it much easier to stand up! I also had a state of the art bidet toilet seat added. They added a new wall outlet for this feature and connected a new water line! Heated seat, water spray and a blow dryer! These guys have exceeded my expectations! They put floor covers down to protect my hardwood floors. They think of everything because of their decades of experience! I look forward to having them do more work for me in the future!

Have used this company for over 20 years. Mr. Kistler/son have completely redone our entire 4-level house and both back/front yards. What they didn't do personally, the people they brought in (electricity, flooring, tiling, certain woodworking things) were top-notch. They took a basic "Chevy/Ford Sedan" house and turned our property into a "Rolls-Royce" showplace. We're moving and everyone who has been in our house (estate sale team/realtor/etc.) feels the house/property will sell quickly. It's all due to the quality and workmanship of A.D. Kistler &Son. Absolutely highly recommend them to anyone wanting good quality workmanship that will last.

We were unfortunate enough to be on I75 with a white king cab pickup with the AD Kistler & Son logo on the doors pulling a large white trailer between Sadieville and Florence, KY this afternoon. The vehicle was traveling in a erratic and dangerous manner, at speeds around 90 mph, flying up behind other vehicles, weaving in and out of traffic, cutting off other drivers.

It was truly scary to watch and I asked my husband to please stay away from him. He was unconcerned about traffic laws, much less about the safety of the men, women, and children forced to share the road with him. If this is how this business operates on the road, I would definitely not trust him to operate on anything in my home

We have now used A.D. Kistler and Son for two bathroom remodels. The first was a complete redo of our master and we were so beyond pleased with their custom work and efficiency, that we immediately asked them to redo our guest bathroom. They have a wonderful crew that we enjoyed working with and the work speaks for itself! Highly recommend.

A.D. Kistler and Son Bathroom Specialist Company. From a vintage "early 1970s, dull, small-shower, small-closet bathroom" to a spacious, roomy, functional and beautiful bathroom: In 2016 we contracted with Archie Kistler and Son to tear out our old master bathroom and replace it with a custom-designed, custom-built master bathroom. After more than three years, the bathroom looks as beautiful today as it did the day it was finished.

We had invited three different contractors to have a look and give us an estimate. One sent us an estimate, but only after we had to repeatedly request it. Another was much more professional and direct about the level of work they could do, which we appreciated. This contractor advised that our idea of moving the toilet would not be worth the amount of work and time it would take.

The final contractor we interviewed for the job was A.D, Kistler and Son. Archie, the owner, came over to have a look, told us the toilet move would take him (he is a master plumber) about half an hour and would really be a good thing to do. We reviewed our general idea of what we wanted to do, and after a number of measurements as well as a number of consultations regarding type and quality of cabinetry and tiles, hardware, plumbing work required, and overall design, we settled up on the final plan.

Within a few days, we received his extremely detailed work and payment plan, and we signed up. At the agreed-to date, Archie's son Kevin and team arrived and began the complete removal of our old bathroom. Before that began, however, they carefully set up large plastic floor-to-ceiling sheeting so that no dust would get into our master bedroom, and floor and stairs covering for the entire route between the bathroom and the door to the house.

During the demolition phase of the work, at the end of the day, the bathroom was cleaned up, and all the floor covering was removed. During this entire project, every step possible was taken to minimize the impact on our day-to-day life, to include outdoor tile and walk-in-shower cutting. Archie, Kevin, and the others who came assist with this considerable project were completely professional and courteous at all times.

They showed up on time, and they ended the day on time. When a supplier made an error (it happens), Archie got it fixed. End result: We have an amazingly beautiful bathroom with and equally amazing improvement in roominess and functionality, one that many of our friends have come over to see, especially when considering a bathroom renewal effort of their own.

Recently I downsized and wanted my bathroom remodeled. So I asked AD Kistler and Son to do the job. First Archie is a sweetheart, he came out gave me ideas and a very detail estimate. His son Kevin, and Kevin's right arm Nate did the work. These guys did a wonderful job! Did I mention I also was having all new floors put in at the same time, well I did and these men worked around all the activities. Kevin and Nate are extremely clean and neat as well as meticulous about the work they do. So if you are looking for good quality work AD Kistler and Son is who you should call. I am so happy I did!

Dear Mr. Kistler, Thank you so very much for the outstanding job you did in replacing our old bathtub. My husband and I are very grateful for your thorough work and dedication to having the job done right. Little did we know that behind our old wall tiles there was extensive mold and even an old hornet's nest, probably there for decades.

Dear Mr. Kistler, Our 1965 home needed serious remodeling as you recall. A friend from church recommended your company after they had several estimates from other companies. Upon their recommendation we chose A.D. Kistler and son. We found you to be experienced and advised us on what type of remodeling would best suit our bath.
