I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gift with Good Works. Finding someone who combines…read moreexceptional craftsmanship, integrity, attention to detail, and genuine care for his customers is rare, and Gift consistently delivers all of those things. Gift is incredibly thorough in his work. He takes the time to assess a project carefully, explain what he is seeing, discuss the available options, and make sure I understand exactly what needs to be done and why. His communication throughout every project has been outstanding--clear, detailed, responsive, and dependable. I never feel like I am left wondering what is happening or what the next step will be. What impresses me most is the pride Gift takes in his workmanship. He doesn't rush through a job or settle for "good enough." He pays attention to the small details, thinks through problems carefully, and approaches my home as though he were working on his own. When something unexpected comes up, he communicates it rather than simply moving forward, and I have always felt that his recommendations are thoughtful and honest. Over time, Gift has become someone I genuinely trust with my home. He has answered the call whenever I have needed help, looked out for my family and our property, and consistently treated us with kindness and respect. That level of reliability and integrity means a tremendous amount to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Gift and Good Works to anyone looking for a contractor who cares about the quality of his work and the people he is working for. His craftsmanship is excellent, his communication is exceptional, and his professionalism and character are equally impressive. I am extremely grateful to have found him and would trust him with my home again without hesitation.

The bid very reasonable, and stated the work would take 8 days to complete. Having had many negative experiences with contractors and time frames in the past, I accepted the bid fully expecting it to take much longer than stated. After I accepted, he scheduled a start date of the following week. He was very prompt and did quality work. I was excited to come home each day and see the progress. He cleaned up after himself each day (which was really a big plus for me). He completed the work in exactly 8 days. I was so happy about that! He did an amazing job, I could not be happier with the results and with his work ethic. I will absolutely be hiring him again for future projects! I strongly recommend Nate to anyone! It can be so hard to find a quality and trustworthy contractor these days.

The unit is made for a window that goes up and down. Nathan did an amazing, creative and finished look. My partner and I were very happy with the quality of work he did. It looks much better than I could have imagined. To cover the open area above the air conditioner he created a wood piece that looks like a cabinet door not just a piece of plywood. Although this was a small job for such a talented young man, he was happy to take on the challenge. I appreciated that he was on time for the quote and to do the work. I have several other projects I'll be having Nathan do.

Duncan and his crew are the most competent group of professionals anyone could ever hope for. Any…read moresingle member of this team could carry an entire construction crew on their own, but together they are simply magic. Skilled and experienced beyond expectation, I don't think there was a single "impossible" problem with our project that could stand up to the A-Team Duncan has assembled. And you can tell that Duncan respects the people he works with and treats them well; I've never met a crew that works so well together, even the subcontractors seemed excited to be a part of the team. Our home is a split level craftsman, built by a Boeing engineer in the 50s and damaged by fire in 2020. Because of the fire, all the work we had done was permitted and inspected, which means that everything the crew touched had to be brought up to modern standards despite having been built by an aerospace engineer 70 years ago. I don't think most contractors would have touched our project with a 10 foot pole. But Duncan, our foreman Mike, and the rest of the team were such consummate professionals that the few minor issues that came up were all resolved quickly, with barely any delay to the rest of the project. Genuine, quality work, too, without a single sketchy compromise or quirky short cut. The kind of beautiful, elegant solutions you only seem to find in old-school craftsmanship anymore. An honestly unbelievable team of amazing individuals with a shared depth of institutional knowledge and experience that allow them to make the impossible possible. And flexible enough to make it all happen on our budget, which is frankly as impressive as the craftsmanship. A huge shout-out to Mike, Phil, Angel, Arron, Brett and the rest of the team, especially Kim at the home office for all her efforts coordinating, sourcing materials, scheduling, and keeping everything on track. Our project could easily have spiraled out and ballooned in cost, but Duncan's incredible team kept the entire project running smoothly. I can't imagine working with anyone else and I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with DR Construction in the future.

Spencer and his team at Smith NW Homes did an amazing job with our full home remodel. They tackled…read moreall elements from the studs to the finishes and were responsive, respectful, and very cautious of staying on budget and time throughout the entire process. I lived in the house with my husband, our 2 dogs and 2 cats throughout the remodel and his team went above and beyond to make sure the space was always left safe and clean at the end of each day. Our house had many quirks and surprises discovered throughout the process and he had solutions for them all. The finished product is beautiful and we get lots of compliments on it. I highly recommend Smith NW Homes for your remodel needs!

Spencer Smith and his team just finished a "down to the studs" remodel plus new space addition to…read moreour 1947 Lake Washington waterfront home. This was done during one of the busiest and most chaotic construction markets in Seattle's history. Smith NW Homes has earned 7 out of 5 stars for their exceptional work! While we have heard sad stories from friends having construction done, we have had one of the most enjoyable and positive experiences while working with Spencer. Our house is beautiful (on quality). We moved in as scheduled (on time). We came in at exactly the cost Spencer told us (on budget). Who does that? Smith NW homes did. Delivering a house (one of the biggest investments of anyone's life) that provides the design and features that turns a house into a personalized home, and does so within a target budget, requires a strong process and a reliable quality driven team of craftsmen. Spencer explained his process to us at the outset but it wasn't until we had experienced it from beginning to end, that we could fully appreciate how it translated into such a positive experience and outstanding product. Listens - Spencer spent a lot of time with us in the beginning to understand how we wanted to use our home, what types of features we wanted and how much money we had to spend. He then worked with designers and engineers to create a design that met our vision that could be accomplished within our budget. Selections - Spencer made multiple "field trips" with us to select finishes, cabinetry, fixtures and lighting that appealed to us. The great part is that he guided and helped us make selections that complemented one another to create a consistent thought and feel from the exterior front entrance - through the house and into the rear yard. It doesn't cost more to have a cohesive, artistic look. It takes the disciplined and artistic approach Spencer brings to selection meetings. Fixed Price Bid - Spencer then created a guaranteed price for the project that reflected the design we had chosen and features selected. It was at this point we had the opportunity to revisit our design or selections if we had concerns. What do we buy today that we are not aware of what it will cost us? Spencer believes that should apply to one of our biggest investments too. This approach provides incentive to get the job completed quickly, provide high quality to avoid rework and repairs and for the contractor to give lots of attention to each project. All materials have been spec'd in advance to assure quality control. It is a great approach. Quality - Spencer comes from 3 generations of home builders and is the benefactor of decades of refining quality processes, finding the best vendors and subcontractors and problem solving skills. Spencer is a perfectionist, in the finest sense of the word. Good enough was never good enough. He was relentless in providing perfection in every process, knowing that great quality at the outset, assures a quality home for decades to come. Remarkable Team - A contractor rarely has a hammer in their hand. They rely on their subcontractors to do the work. It becomes evident very quickly that a builder is only as good as his subs. His ability to stay on schedule is only possible if he can count on his subs to show up when they are supposed to. Spencer has worked with most of his subs for 5 yrs, 10 yrs and 20 yrs. These are long term relationships with proven quality and a long term commitment to one another. We felt we had the best craftsman in every area from framers, to tilers, to painters and landscapers. Imagine what a positive difference that makes in the finished product that will be your home for years to come. Ability to Make Changes - As our project evolved we decided we wanted to add to some of our cabinetry, change some windows and adjust our landscaping. No problem. We signed a fixed price change order for each of those things and the amount was added to our original price. The only price changes were changes that we requested. Each month we received an easy to read invoice which showed the percentage of completion of each phase at that point in the project. Spencer may have had cost over-runs in our project but we never heard about any of them. He stayed by his commitment to us. A great wrap up - When our project was completed, Spencer did a thorough walk through going through every element of our home. He showed us tags he placed on every shut off valve and safety item identifying what they turned on or off. Plus, he delivered two three ring binders. One with instruction manuals for every appliance and electrical device in the house. The other, was filled with contact information for every subcontractor who worked on or supplied materials for our home should we ever desire to contact them. Rich and Becky Budke
