Built By Craftsmen In House Since 1978
Opened The Doors
“As a father of five, family has always been my top priority – and our family-run business is built on those same values. We’re proud to have employees and clients who become part of our extended family, both during their time with us and years to come.”

Owner, CEO
Full-Service Luxury Home Remodeling
Danielson and Associates has been remodeling homes since 1978, when Kevin Danielson started the company building custom woodwork for high-end homes in northern Michigan. We brought that same shop-trained approach to Kentucky, and today we handle anything that has to do with a home: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, basements, decks, and new construction for homeowners in Louisville and Oldham County.
Most of what your project needs, we do ourselves. Design and renderings, cabinetry and custom fabrication, product selections, and construction
oversight all run through one team and one point of contact. You are not driving to four showrooms and repeating yourself to four different people. You call the office, you talk to someone who knows your job, and a designer takes it the rest of the way.
Anything to do with a home, we do.
Layouts that work the way you actually cook, with cabinetry, counters, and custom range hoods built and installed by our own crew.
Walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and tile set over Schluter waterproofing, so what’s behind the wall lasts as long as what’s in front of it.
Whole-house work that brings an older home up to the way your family lives now, without stripping out the character you bought it for.
More square footage for a growing family, engineered and finished so the new space reads as original to the house.
Custom homes built start to finish on your lot, at sizes up to 10,000 square feet.
Unused square footage turned into family rooms, guest suites, and full baths, with built-ins to match the rest of the house.
Cabinetry, built-ins, range hoods, and millwork made in our own shop, which is where this company started back in 1978.
Decks, screened porches, and covered outdoor spaces built to hold up to Kentucky weather season after season.
Kevin Danielson
Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, Kevin Danielson attended Michigan State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture. After graduation, he founded Danielson & Associates, specializing in residential design-build projects.
In 1996, Kevin relocated to Petoskey, Michigan, to serve as a Project Manager for the construction of luxury homes within the prestigious Bay Harbor community on Lake Michigan. During his time there, he managed the construction of custom homes ranging in value from $2 million to $30 million throughout the 1,500-acre development.
In 2001, Kevin launched his own private residential construction business, focusing on custom homes, additions, and high-end remodels. His passion for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail quickly earned him the trust of homeowners seeking exceptional results.
Kevin moved to Kentucky in 2008, where he shifted his focus to kitchen and bathroom remodeling. During this time, he began mentoring his son, Colin, who worked alongside him during summers and weekends from a young age, learning every aspect of residential construction and the value of true craftsmanship.
Since 2008, Kevin has built Danielson & Associates into one of the most respected remodeling companies serving Louisville and Oldham County. His reputation is founded on honesty, clear communication, superior craftsmanship, and a commitment to treating every client’s home as if it were his own.
Beyond construction, Kevin believes in giving back to the community. For the past 16 years, Danielson & Associates has supported local families through charitable donations, providing Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners, and participating in Angel Tree programs.
Above all, Kevin considers his greatest accomplishments to be his family. He is the proud father of five children—two Registered Nurses, one active-duty member of the United States Navy, one Certified Aircraft Mechanic, and his oldest son, Colin, who now serves as Co-Owner of Danielson & Associates, Inc. As Director of Operations, Colin oversees the company’s day-to-day operations, continuing the family tradition of integrity, craftsmanship, and exceptional customer service.
Colin Danielson
Born in 1998 in Petoskey, Michigan, I developed a passion for the outdoors and craftsmanship from an early age. Hunting, fishing, and woodworking were a big part of my upbringing and continue to be interests I enjoy today.
After moving to Kentucky, I attended South Oldham Middle and High School, where I played lacrosse. During the summers, I traveled throughout the East Coast competing in travel lacrosse tournaments as well as fishing tournaments. When I wasn’t on the field or in the woods or lake, I was working alongside his father at Danielson & Associates, learning the value of hard work while earning spending money like many young teenagers.
Following my graduation in 2016, I joined Danielson & Associates full-time while also pursuing competitive bass fishing on the weekend and using my vacation time guiding hunting trips both in Kentucky and across the country. In late 2020, I made the decision to dedicate my full attention to growing the family business and advancing my career in residential construction.
From 2016 through 2023, I had the privilege of working alongside some of the industry’s finest craftsmen, learning every phase of the building process, from site preparation and framing to custom finish carpentry and detailed trim work. That hands-on experience gave me a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship and the importance of doing every job the right way. In 2023, I met my wife Kaitlyn Mullen who we share two amazing children, Sadie & Riley Danielson.
Today, custom home building and high-end remodeling are more than a caree, they are my passion. My favorite part of every project is watching a client’s vision come to life and seeing their excitement when the work is complete.
I live by two simple working principles that reflect my commitment to every homeowner:
“Nothing is perfect—but it better be 99.99%.”
“Your happiness is what matters most. I want to walk away from every project knowing you’re absolutely happy with the finished result.”
As Co-Owner and Director of Operations for Danielson & Associates, I am committed to upholding the company’s reputation for honesty, communication, exceptional craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, ensuring every project is completed to the highest possible standard.
