“Our company is called Brenner Builders for a reason,” explains Kevin. “I am involved from the beginning when I meet prospective clients to the end, when we hand over the keys to a new custom home. But, our relationships with homeowners rarely end at that point.They continue as clients add on to their homes, renovate, or even build subsequent homes. Client satisfaction is my top priority.”

A graduate of Binghamton University, Brenner put himself through the New York School of Podiatric Medicine by doing small carpentry jobs. When he was awarded his residency, he decided to follow his passion into the field of construction instead. Twenty years later, that dedication to the construction business is evident in the enthusiasm of his staff. “When Kevin asks us to do something, he knows what his request entails. He’s been there, done it himself, and knows the right way to get it done,” says one long term employee. “If he can’t find someone to do something to his standards, he’ll do it himself. Building his own custom millshop is the perfect example,” adds another.

Kevin's expertise on home building and renovation has appeared in book form, and he has been sought after to write magazine articles on the topic. He is the author of Renovating with a Contractor (Taylor Publishing), which was cited as “one of the top ten real estate books of the year,” and he has written about home construction and renovation as a contributing writer for Renovation Style and Today’s Homeowner.

Brenner Builders is often sited as one of a select group of highly respected home building companies operating in Westchester and Fairfield Counties. Both staff and clients agree that Kevin is primarily responsible for the company’s success. “In the end it comes down to the fact that I really care. I will always be there because I like to be part of the process. I will still strap on my tool belt to get the job done, if necessary,” he explains.
