At the center of project execution, technical evaluation, and client communication at Next Level Home Solutions is Kevin McKenna. Bringing a comprehensive background in construction, specialized surface coatings, and building envelope restoration, Kevin serves property owners, designers, real estate professionals, and small businesses throughout Austin and Central Texas. His primary mission is to evaluate every residential or commercial building as an interconnected ecosystem, helping clients accurately diagnose what work is actually required before recommending tailored, cost-effective solutions.
Kevin’s technical scope encompasses residential and light commercial interior and exterior painting, premium architectural coatings, custom flooring, and interior finish improvements. On the commercial side, Kevin possesses extensive field experience in commercial roof restoration, silicone roofing systems, metal roof repair, structural waterproofing, leak remediation, and building envelope protection. Whether overseeing a high-end home refresh or designing a long-term commercial restoration strategy, Kevin combines practical field knowledge with proactive project planning, crew coordination, and asset protection.
Building Envelope Restoration and Commercial Property Asset Preservation
Before expanding his hands-on residential work through Next Level Home Solutions, Kevin established a strong career in commercial construction, large-scale coatings, and facility asset preservation. Working closely alongside property owners, facility managers, commercial real estate developers, building material manufacturers, distributors, consultants, and trade contractors, Kevin developed practical restoration protocols tailored to the actual physical condition and long-term goals of each asset.
His commercial work emphasizes extending the usable service life of existing roofing systems and building envelopes—dramatically reducing the need for costly, disruptive full tear-offs and complete system replacements. Kevin has successfully developed and supported restoration and protective coating strategies for a wide variety of properties, including credit unions, commercial office buildings, restaurants, institutional facilities, industrial complexes, active construction sites, and multi-tenant property management portfolios across Central Texas. This commercial background heavily influences his residential approach, allowing him to bring rigorous quality control, precise material selection, and structural discipline to everyday home improvement projects.
Comprehensive Hands-On Management: From Walkthrough to Final Walkthrough
Through Next Level Home Solutions, Kevin works directly with homeowners, real estate agents, interior designers, and business managers across Austin. Rather than delegating critical oversight, Kevin stays actively involved across every stage of the project lifecycle. His hands-on process begins with an in-depth initial site walkthrough and detailed scope development, progressing through material sourcing, crew scheduling, on-site quality control, and the final client review.
Kevin’s core strength lies in setting realistic expectations, maintaining open communication channels, and executing clean, well-managed work sites. By removing the friction, delays, and miscommunications that so often plague construction and remodeling projects, Kevin ensures property owners enjoy a straightforward, dependable, and stress-free service experience from start to finish.
Business Education, Security Licensing, and Risk Management Credentials
Kevin’s technical expertise is supported by a strong academic and operational foundation. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from York College of Pennsylvania, where he studied Marketing and Entrepreneurial Studies from 2002 to 2006. His business education provides a solid background in organizational leadership, customer relationship management, project logistics, and strategic planning, complementing his years of field experience with trade manufacturers, distributors, and building scientists.
Adding a unique layer to his risk management profile, Kevin is also a licensed Level IV security officer with experience supporting armed security operations for commercial facilities, financial institutions, construction sites, and warehousing hubs. This background in security operations deepened his understanding of site safety, operational discipline, risk mitigation, and property protection—principles he applies directly to every job site managed by Next Level Home Solutions.
Entrepreneurial Mindset, Central Texas Vision, and Personal Interests
Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Kevin has a long-standing fascination with how buildings, local businesses, and regional communities evolve over time. His ongoing professional interests center around commercial real estate trends, facility management innovations, construction technology, asset preservation, and local workforce development. During his collegiate years at York College of Pennsylvania, Kevin played rugby and was an active member of Kappa Psi Epsilon, experiences that fostered his collaborative, team-first mentality.
Outside of day-to-day job site management, Kevin enjoys networking with Central Texas business leaders, real estate professionals, and community organizations. Looking toward the future, he is actively pursuing opportunities to lend his operational background and construction insight to local nonprofit organizations, civic advisory boards, and community initiatives dedicated to improving the built environment across Austin.
