Very happy with my experience with Eastside Handyman…read more Christopher was quick to respond to my initial request and provided a clear and precise quote for the work identified. We were able to get on the schedule quickly and the work was completed as described with minimal impact. The work is solid quality and where there were hiccups, there was clear communication and engagement to ensure that there were no surprises. I will be looking to partner with Eastside Handyman on future projects for sure.

I still recommend Drew to people I talk to who either comment on how well built my shed is or are talking about wanting a new shed or any other type of construction project. it's rare these days to find someone you can count on to do great work . Drew is one of those few individuals I recommend without hesitation.

We planned to plant wisteria vines on the structure. Drew helped us design & build a structure that checked all the "boxes".

I would recommend Tool & Trade without hesitation, in fact we have already asked Drew to take on another project.

Urban Build reconstructed our living room and front porch this past late summer/early fall. Our…read more1908 house had gone through some unfortunate late mid-century re-modeling stripping its original character and cluttering it with junky finishing and inefficient design. Mike Dolge, Jason, and James helped us re-build the front half of the house to be a more open, larger feeling living area with clever and charming built-ins that add needed storage space while preserving flexibility. They were able to blend building back in some Craftsman detail with a more modern, lighter sensibility that makes it feel like we added SF. Of the many compliments that we've received, my favorite is "it looks like this is the way it was always supposed to be," even though it looks and feels very different. We are so pleased with how it came out. Mike is creative, an excellent listener and had many good suggestions as to how to improve the space in the way that we wanted in a cost-effective manner. Both Jason and James, who did the majority of the work, are highly skilled carpenters who care about quality. We're kinda particular (my husband is a designer), so they had to do alot of checking in with us and problem-solving to get what we wanted. The whole crew are nice guys who were kind to my children and careful with clean-up. Mike also hires excellent subs who built a beautiful re-purposed madrona floor and tiled fireplace that Jason finished with the most gorgeous mantle of madrona. Highly recommend.

I have a 1962 house full of surprises.

I appreciate Tucker's quick response, excellent communication, and reliable follow through.

Most of the other businesses asked to send a technician over, but Tucker responded quickly and promptly like so: " Hey, It's a minimum $250 charge for us to come out so I'm going to try and save you a service call. All bathrooms, exterior plugs, kitchens and garages have to have their outlets gfci protected. Most times they'll wire these in series so if one gets tripped the whole circuit gets tripped. I'd check every of those areas for a tripped gfci. I've seen a bathroom gfci be the reason the outdoor plugs aren't working. Tucker Moran Gold Mountain Contracting LLC Lic#: GOLDMMC765QA Cell: 360-980-2537 1-844-465-3686 " It ended up being that while my GFCI control outlets were still functional, the other outlets on their circuit were not and resetting the control outlet fixed my issue. I appreciate the honesty and integrity that Tucker's suggestion displayed (which should be obvious to any electrician) which saved me time, effort, and money. I will definitely consider Gold Mountain Contracting next time I encounter an electrical issue.

We just finished a basement remodel, and we're extremely happy with the process and the results!…read more Brian and Kyle were always very responsive whenever we had questions, and were also great at updating us on what was coming up. This was especially important when Covid-19 hit, and we really appreciated how they came up with a contingency plan (accessing our basement through a window instead of coming through the house). We always felt like we knew what was going on, and had control over the decisions. The end result was all that we expected! We have an old house and a basement with a bunch of quirks, and they worked through all of them (the crazy electrical wiring, the corroded drain pipe, the very unlevel floors). We would absolutely use Cobalt again and recommend them to any of our friends.

We hired Jackson Design Build for a major remodel of our 1908 Phinney Ridge bungalow, and they…read moreexceeded our expectations in every way. We originally met them at the Seattle Home and Garden show and selected them based on their expertise with vintage Seattle homes. They did a full main floor remodel of our home, including new kitchen & bathroom and new hardwood floors, plus a downstairs laundry remodel and conversion of unfinished basement space into a hobby room. Their designer Lisa was great! She has an excellent aesthetic sense and really took the time to listen to us and understand our style, resulting in a home that we have been delighted with. Communication was fantastic throughout. They kept us informed and their project lead Chris took the time to get our opinion on decisions while construction was underway. They also finished the project on time. They promised we'd move in before Thanksgiving and we moved in literally the day before!

After meeting with several design build firms, we knew we had to go with Jackson Design Build, and…read moreI am SO glad we did - Every interaction was professional, positive, warm, friendly, supportive, and honest. I never felt like we were being upsold - In fact, the team frequently helped us land on better solutions to fit our budget without sacrificing quality. We were able to share our priorities upfront and have our values and vision honored and respected through the entire process. We lived in the house with kids and a dog while having a staircase added, losing a bedroom, and experiencing the daily sights and sounds of a full basement remodel - Being with the JDB team was our daily life for these months, and we genuinely enjoyed getting to know them. The team went out of their way to accommodate our family needs and keep our house feeling like home as much as possible. And the finished results - WOW. I can't believe this is our house. The newly remodeled areas blend beautifully with the character of our 1948 home, the details are so polished, and the layout flows with ease for our active family. After years of planning and saving and wondering if we could pull this off, I'm so delighted that JDB made our dreams a reality and let us collaborate and learn from them along the way. Everything from their design process to their pricing model to the crews they bring in to do the hard work - Jackson Design Build's integrity and expertise won us over and we'll be recommending them to all our friends and neighbors!

He aims to understand what you want and to give you a fair and competitive price. I got such praise on our flip home in Renton by realtors saying it was the best they had seen. Such attention to detail and quality workmanship. He really saved us as we had a fraudulent contractor come in and do so many things wrong and he was able to do a checklist and redo and repair the damage that the former contractor had done. Would definitely recommend and have done so to some friends and neighbors.

After a fire partially ruined our house a couple of years ago we have been working to bring things…read moreback to the way they once were. We've been saving our money to fix our back porch and deck so our family could enjoy it this summer. But we never had that chance. Once we saved up enough, we began looking for contractors that could help us. We found Ryan Goss with Pacific Northwest Woodcrafts and thought we could trust him because of his previous work. Not only that, but we wanted to support a smaller business. We met with Mr. Goss and shared our vision for the project and he seemed eager to help us. He gave us an estimate for $32,000 and asked for 20% down or $6,400. We gave him that plus some, paying him $10,000 up front to get going on the project and could buy the necessary materials. We hired him on June 24th, after only 10 days after hiring him, he reached out to us saying he needed another $10,000 for more materials, but we still didn't see anything delivered. We trusted him and gave him the additional $10,000. Then, the following month, he told us he needed a cash advance to pay for some other bills. He asked us for $1,500, although we were hesitant we understood where he was coming from since our family has owned small businesses. He asked for cash but we document everything via text and signed a receipt. Then he asked for an additional $5,000 for materials for railings. We gave him the money and went to Dunn Lumber to choose a railing. Before we left the store he told us he would buy the materials there that day. However, it turns out he never ordered the materials after I left the store. Instead, he went to Home Depot and got a quote for a more expensive railing that we didn't choose. The railings didn't arrive until three months later and still haven't been installed. After months of back and forth we found out he got a job at an apartment complex, he took all his tools and told us we were no longer his priority. The project is still incomplete, there are unfinished projects and the few projects he did work on are uneven and not the standard he promised us. We've reached out to him multiple times and he claims he's done. He told us it's done and paid for and that we'd have to wait in line. Since hiring him we are out almost $29,000 and our porch and deck are still incomplete. We now have to hire a new contractor and the estimates we receive show that everything will have to be re-done. We are working with an attorney to try and reconcile this, but we want other to know that this business and owner is not someone you want to have work on your house. My family is out several thousand dollars and we don't want anyone else to have to go through this.
