John Bartell brings extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of both new and existing residential construction. His many years working with the City of Vernon give him a distinct advantage when it comes to navigating the planning and permitting process. John is honest, knowledgeable, and an effective communicator who takes the time to lay out all the facts, helping you make a well-informed decision. Thanks for the work you did for us.

Five stars to John Bartell and the Trades at Kickstart Construction for the work they did on my house in Coldstream BC in 2026. John is a great project manager, was a pleasure to work with and has a top team. When I needed help he called back or texted right away. His quotes were realistic, quickly delivered and the quality was exceptional. My old leaking roof was replaced with beautiful new roof. A rotten post was replaced under my balcony. He arranged for electrical work for beautiful lighting and was able to get a permit for my roadway gate. I look forward to doing more stress free renovations with Kickstart in the future.

I have had the opportunity to collaborate with John on multiple residential design projects, including both private residences and developments through Kickstart Construction. Throughout our work together, John has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, clear communication, and a direct, solution-oriented approach. He is decisive, understands his objectives clearly, and ensures the project process remains efficient and well-coordinated. I would confidently recommend John and Kickstart Construction for future projects.

I hired Kickstart in the summer of 2025 to complete repairs on a garage within a strata. Kickstarts quote was on par with 2 other competitors quotes and I chose Kickstart for Johns quick and consistent communication. Key points; updated regularly, clean and safe worksite, safety signage, 100% on budget, on time and 110% hassle free. I ran my own contracting business for 10 years, so I recognize professionals in the field. You want to hire Kickstart, you will be heard, respected and have your project completed, just as you envisioned it.
