Thank you! I'm singing your praises on Yelp , Google and home advisor right now right now!!!Just a conversation I had with you was five stars! Jacqueline Coudare 12423 N. E 107pl. 98033 425-765-6970 Thank you for your time and energy this afternoon read more

Cornell and his team remodeled the guest bathroom. Everyone on his team was great and the quality of work was outstanding. From the plumbing to the tile work and the electrical work, everything was done really well. They were honest and took the time to explain things when they found items that were not up to code. Cornell always checked in and seemed happy to answer any questions. The entire team is fabulous and am looking forward to working with them again in the future. read more

I can not say enough great things about Cornell and his crew. They are honest, trustworthy and most of all they do impeccable work. From the electrical, tile, plumbing to the drywall. I used CQC about 7 years ago to remodel two bathrooms -- both of which were torn down to the drywall and substantially updated to spa quality luxury bathrooms. They also enlarge some closets and repaired a rotting and molding roof. Recently I hired them again to help repair another bathroom and while he was super busy he was honest with me about his timeframe to get to the work. Everything was completed as promised and I am confident the bathroom is better than it was and will be problem free. read more

We had extensive remodeling to do with a new lights, quartz countertop and spa type shower for our master bathroom, adding hardwood floors throughout our home, a new fireplace and stacked stone wall for the living room plus a new granite counter, lights and sink for our guest bath. Cornell's crew was excellent and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they worked. We were impressed with the quality of their workmanship and especially how they cleaned up their tools and equipment and materials at the end of the day. They were at our home promptly every morning and worked late if necessary. The guys were always unfailingly polite and were true craftsmen at their jobs. We received excellent quality work at a fair price and would recommend Cornell and his team for any home remodeling project. Pat L. read more

I had to move my front door to a different wall. They did a great job, the old door location was nicely patched and it is impossible to tell that there was ever a door there. They re-used the door, door frame, wooden slates and other material which reduced the cost drastically. Definitely recommend them. read more

We recently contracted with Cornell's Quality Construction to remodel a loft over our garage. This is the third project Cornell has done for us, and we called him because we were so pleased with the previous two. We were again very pleased with the result: a studio space with bathroom, kitchenette and stairs leading to a charming play space capped with two dormers-one to the east, one to the west. The excellent quality of the work lives up to the company name. The workers were efficient and conscientious and actively contributed ideas that improved the product. They completed their work in a reasonable time and within budget. We would highly recommend Cornell's Quality Construction for your next construction project. read more

I dealt with both the owner of this business personally and with the business itself and am unimpressed with both. The rental that I guess is going to be a spec home for the construction company was being worked on during my tenancy. The crew that could speak English and knew norms of decency were still rude and hard to work with. I can not imagine hiring a company and having such a crew show up. No thanks I'll pass. The owner is says one things and does another. It took him a month to check me out of a building I rented and he charged me for the time it took. All this after Changing my moving day plans around his construction crews last minute scheduling. There are many people to work with, this is one group I would stay away from. read more

This review is extremely past due on our part. We have been enjoying our brand new custom-crafted master bathroom shower so much; that we keep putting off returning to this page to express our gratitude and our extreme satisfaction for the work of Cornell and Crew. What an amazing work they did for us. It has been 2 years now since we totally replaced the original shower in our master bathroom; and we had a number of specified features that we wanted for the replacement work. Every detail was accomplished and beyond expectation. I can see why Cornell is a busy professional, and desired by so many in the area. He truly takes every care to assure homeowner requests and his crew is exceptional. We would definitely recommend and will call on this company again for other projects in the future. read more

Cornell's Quality Construction, is an outstanding company. They remodeled my master bathroom and I couldn't be happier. Cornell is attentive to detail and due to his vision and expertise he guided me through the selection process. The end result exceeded all of my expectations. I would highly recommend Cornell's Quality Construction, Inc. read more

CQC just finished remodeling our kitchen, including complete tear down, install of new cabinets, counters, and lighting. Cornell's contractors are wonderful. Their fanatic attention to craftsmanship and quality and professionalism really showed, and his guys never stopped until everything was perfect and to our satisfaction. What really impressed me was their patience and problem solving ability. The company that designed and built our cabinets often didn't provide all the right parts with all the right dimensions. But Cornell's guys always figured out a solution and found a way to make it work. My only small criticism which prevents me from giving 5 stars is the following. There wasn't enough attention to detail in writing to specify the work that needed to be done. Cornell initially came over to our house, and I outlined all the work that we wanted done. But when it came time to sign the contract and pay a deposit, the contract just said "electrical work" without specifying exactly what electrical work was going to be done. So, when the work was in progress, there were debates about who said what, when, where, and what exactly was to be done. E.g., I was claiming that from the beginning, I had always asked for the new lights to be on a separate switch, and Cornell saying that this was never part of the plan and that adding a separate switch was now going to cost me $1000 extra. We had three or four debates like this, which made our experience less than perfect. I would recommend other customers to write their own specification with as much detail as possible, and attach that to the contract, so there's no need to rely on anyone's memory about what was said. I will say, however, that Cornell's team made up for this in several other areas by going above and beyond in ways that we didn't expect, and doing extra work that clearly wasn't part of the project. Overall we are extremely happy with the final outcome and would definitely use CQC again. read more

After interviewing 3 other contractors, I decided to go with Cornell's Quality Construction. Very professional. And his workers were very respectful of my home and my animals (making sure not to let the cats out). And they did little extra's, like tightening a towel rack and fixing my doorbell. They quoted me 2 weeks and were done early; in a week and 1/2. The work is impeccable and after 3 months, I still marvel at the quality of work. I'll be using them again for my bathroom project and recommending them to everyone! As a single woman who worries about getting ripped of on both quality and dollars, Cornell took care of me and put my mind at ease. read more

We can't recommend Cornell and his team highly enough. The work was done well and on time. He is very attentive to details. Their rate is cheap and quality of work is high. read more

Even after a year we are delighted with Cornell's Bathroom Remodel in our home!! We had several contractors bid on the complete renovation of our main Bathroom and Cornell's Quality Construction won out for a couple of major reasons. We are so glad we chose them to do the work! 1. Cornell had excellent suggestions to streamline the room and give it a bigger look without complicating the job. He's a great listener and makes the vision happen. "No Problem" is something we heard a lot throughout the remodel! 2. We had confidence that the timeline and the estimate were reasonable. Cornell's numbers made sense and there was good professional experience fielding the work. Maybe this part goes without saying, but the billing was smooth and the pricing completely fair. We still had the "so glad we got a new bathroom" feeling even after it was all paid up. 3. Cornell's is local for us. They could tell us where to find samples and even bring us the ones we needed. We are giving them 5 stars because they earned it! Cornell's construction crew is reliable, professional and they CLEAN UP after themselves! read more

We initially started our bathroom remodel with a different contractor who was unable to complete our remodel within the timeline required. We searched for several weeks to find a local contractor with high integrity and a longtime track record of quality work. Fortunately, after meeting with a handful of contractors and handymen we found Cornell's Quality Construction. Cornell has been in business for over 35 + years, with a trusted track record of quality work. We met with Cornell who estimated our remodel, and also walked us through the estimate and timeline. We're thankful we chose his company and team because the bathroom remodel was more complicated then originally thought and required a highly skilled team. They completed the remodel within budget, on time, with topnotch customer service. On top of the quality work and professional crew, Cornell was periodically on-site to introduce us to his team and ensure our remodel was on schedule and met his high quality standards. We highly recommend Cornell's Quality Construction for your remodel projects and believe he is a contractor who operates with the highest level of integrity. read more

Our water heater failed and flooded our basement while we were out on vacation. We had to tear out all the flooring, cut out sheet wall and insulation to dry the space out. Cornell and his team put the place back together for us in record time. His crew worked six days a week and pleasantly surprised up by showing up during the week where we had a few inches of snow on the ground! Cornell himself was very responsive and answered all of our questions and worked with us throughout the process. They are certainly on the top of my go to list if I ever needed additional work done on the house! read more

Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Kitchen Remodel! Although we interviewed several contractors, Cornell won our trust and confidence not only through the strength of his professional knowledge and experience, but particularly by listening to us with a "can-do" attitude, respecting our desire to implement "universal design" concepts that will allow us to age in our own home, and advising us regarding all the hidden needs we would never have anticipated in the remodel of the 34-plus year old kitchen in our 1928 Maple Leaf home. His team of experienced craftsmen always showed up when expected, demonstrated a tremendous work ethic on the job, and were uniformly polite and a pleasure to have in our house. I would use CQC again for future projects and have already recommended him to a close friend as a candidate to do his bathroom remodel. read more

My wife and I were referred to Cornell and his team to do a complete kitchen remodel. The design and execution process exceeded expectations in almost every way. The project came in on time and precisely to the budget expectations. I reccomend CQC & his people without reservation and have full confidense in them to deliver anything Cornell indicates they can or will. read more

We used Cornell's Quality Construction in 2002, and were pleased with the work and quality of service. When we needed renovation again in 2014 we gave Cornell a call. This time around was again a great experience. We were under a tight timeline and they accommodated that within their schedule. The work was done well and on time. The workers are always respectful and doing quality work. The job site was clean and the house was left looking great and ready for us to move back in. We really appreciate Cornell's smile and customer service. He is always monitoring the work so that it is done to his standard of quality with good prices. I have been doing commercial interior design for over 20 years, and in my opinion this company lives up to their name, quality construction. read more

We were so happy with our kitchen Cornell and his crew remodeled for us last year, that we had them come back for a second round of renovations. Once again, we were impressed with Cornell's construction knowledge and his hard working crew. They completed gut renovations of our laundry room and son's bathroom in two and a half weeks total! I really appreciate that Cornell always makes sure we are happy with everything before wrapping up the job. I would not hesitate to hire CQC in the future. Here is my previous review from 2013: We hired Cornell's Quality Construction to remodel our 20 year old kitchen based on the glowing recommendation of a friend. We were not disappointed! Cornell had some great ideas regarding the layout of our kitchen which resulted in more counter space and room for a larger oven. He is an excellent listener and communicator. Cornell was always available to answer my calls or would call me right back. He kept me aware of any work schedule changes instead of leaving me hanging like other contractors we have worked with. Cornell's crew is highly skilled - they did a beautiful job! Not only that, they were polite, professional and respectful of our home. They show up in the morning and work long days, 6 days a week so that projects are finished quickly. We LOVE our new kitchen, and will definitely have CQC back for future remodels! read more

We've worked with Cornell and his crew on several projects dating back five or six years. Whether gutting and remodeling a bathroom, renovating closets, building book shelves, laying carpet, constructing a fence, or fixing damaged eaves, we've never been less than completely satisfied. Cornell has always been highly responsive and easy to communicate with. And when he promises something he delivers it, on time, on budget and to a high standard of craftsmanship. The guys he employs are unfailingly courteous and make a real effort to minimize the disruption that goes with their presence. We've owned a couple of houses and worked with many different contractors. Cornell has far and away provided our best experience. We sincerely recommend him. read more

About 6 months ago, Cornell's Quality Construction (CQC) helped us finish a master bathroom remodeling project that we had started in December 2010. The project was going nowhere with the original contractor and we could not see its conclusion. That all changed when we started working with CQC! Cornell met with me on a Thursday and on Friday at 8:30 AM his professional team was ready to work. Each morning Cornell's team would prepare the path through my home to the master bathroom using protective covers on the floor and other surfaces and each night his staff would leave my home clean. Cornell had 3 to 4 members of his staff working on my bathroom and the project was completed within 7 days. CQC's pricing was very competitive. We were so pleased with the quality of CQC's work and its professionalism, we decided to use CQC to remodel a 2nd bathroom and 2 other exterior projects that included brick work, new decks, outside lighting, fencing and a few other things. One point that stands out with CQC, the staff do not take "short cuts" even when I told them that it was fine to take the easy way out. These people are professionals and they take pride in the work being done. We highly recommend this company! read more

Cornell's crew just completed a remodel of our mid-80's bathrooms. Not a small job, included moving toilets and showers and much more. It was delivered on-time and on-budget. The crew worked extremely hard and did an excellent job. Cornell's primary concern was ensuring our complete satisfaction and we couldn't be more pleased. He offered excellent and important guidance on design and approach to this effort. The job site was kept as clean as possible and we had no concerns having these folks in our home for the duration of this 6 week project. We recommend his company without reservation!!! read more

CQC can handle most of the basics but very poor on details and listening to the customer. We completed a complete house remodel and learned that we had to consistently monitor their work to ensure that it was done according to the construction documents. For most of their crews English is a second language and this made following construction plans even more difficult. More than a year later we are still finding items that were either done poorly or not done per plan. While they do have a few skilled craftspersons, it seems like we got their "C" team for our project. For our tile work we got their "D" team which was likely through their sister company Tile and Marble Quality Services. Hire them if you like adventure and unneeded stress. read more

I thoroughly recommend Cornell Quality Construction! They remodeled our bathroom down to the studs, subfloor and plumbing. The finished product is beautiful. The process was painless. They used a drop cloth everyday from the front door to the bathroom. They came everyday and were polite and efficient. The only snag was the tile we chose which was out of stock. If it was available they would have been done in 2-2-1/2 weeks! Cornell picked out alot of the fixtures and he did a great job! We love the style! If you want to have somebody to take care of all of the details, Cornell is your man! Anything we asked had the response "Sure, we can do that!". Anytime I praised the work that was being done Cornell would respond with "Of course! That's the way we do it". He expects his staff to do great work and they do. We had a great experience with them and the cost was right on with the estimate with the exception of the superior tile we chose and some unforseen plumbing. The rates were fair and the work was excellent. Tina Shoreline WA March 2011 read more

I initially wrote a five star review for CQC last spring when he did a partial remodel for one bathroom. We then signed up to have our master bath done four months later. While we still think he has a wonderful team and we love the outcome, the process was unnecessarily stressful. Cornell was not a good communicator or project manager. This is due to taking on way too many jobs at a time. We agreed to have work done while we were on vacation, so most of the remodel would happen when we were away. When we returned,we could see that maybe half of the work had been done. The whole job took almost twice as long as he promised. Our entire kitchen was done in less time. There were quite a few days when no one showed up at all and we didn't get a call letting us know. The final bill had extra charges that he didn't tell us about in advance. I don't think the "quality" is worth the mayhem. read more

Great Experiences Both Times We've used CQC twice in the past three years and will likely do so again when we need additional work done. The first job was a kitchen remodel (cabinets, flooring, granite, woodwork) which we expanded into the bathroom after realizing the quality and professionalism of this outfit were top notch. Our second job was interior trim work/ doors/painting. We found Cornell's crews to be hardworking, professional, trustworthy. I had no problem with them coming and going as the kids and I were also. Cornell and his foremen communicate easily in English, not all the workers do. Everyone is willing to get ahold of Cornell if a question arises. Remodeling often means encountering unanticipated situations. This can translate into unanticipated costs but we found Cornell to be reasonable with any change orders. Cornell will talk with you and offer suggestions to find a suitable solution, then when the men get down to work, they move fast. There were a few instances where we needed something reworked and Cornell is extremely responsive! He wants his name on things that are done right and ensures everything is completed to the customer's satisfaction. read more

making customers to evaluate cornell's quality construction with only five starts limits me to fully express their "quality" works. i highly recommend this contractor. they are very responsive and flexible. provided us so many ideas, alternative solutions, extra services and etc. of course, they are not cheap. but considering their "quality" works, i can clearly say that their rate is cheap. they did beautiful job on my floors with existing oak with new oak. no one can distinguish which part was older oak. they are so same and so natural. they made my family good bathrooms, spacious enough to wash all kids. also they are very flexible with the changed we made as work progressed. they know how to take care of their customers. the work is done more than i expected. they changed a dog house to a palace. i wonder who else can work better than them. if you want to improve your home with no worry, better to call cornell at (425) 821-6621. thank you very much. /k read more

As I begin this review into just the second day of my remodeling project, and before I finish, all readers will have a clear picture of this company, its' owner and his various crews ~ each carefully orchestrated to come in a timely manner and complete their individual specialties. I decided to keep a daily journal, so that with the passage of time I would not miss mentioning things that I deemed to be important issues in today's difficult job of finding a good contractor. At the age of 84 I now needed doors wide enough that would allow me use of my walker. That required my bathroom door to be widened, and reconfigured somewhat, along with several other modifications to my home. After a very long process of researching, interviewing both by telephone or in person, and feeling great frustration that so many had various negative issues ~ not licensed by the State, negative reviews by other homeowners, not returning emails, telephone messages, etc. ~ I made one more (and possibly my last before giving up altogether!) telephone call. This one would be the one ~ I knew from his telephone conversation. The time was set for meeting, to look at the project, and discuss my needs. Following a most pleasant meeting Cornell was receptive to being able to work my small project in before next spring (!) and assured me that it would not take more than a couple of weeks for my now modified project (several suggested up to 3-4 months!) Cornell said he would have a proposal to me by the end of that week. He followed up on that, sending a proposal by the end of the week! I did not have to prompt him with a phone call, as I did with at least one other contractor (who could not bother to return any call or submit his proposal without my urgent calls to him.) (Needless to say, that contractor did not have a chance!) Cornell's proposal was acceptable, we signed, and he wrote on my calendar the "Start Date" (which he kept!) That was yesterday! As my project progresses I will continue my daily log of notes, but as it stands now this group is a special group of workers. I will continue to critique each of them. First day ~ Cornell with his demo crew (Joe and Santo) in - gave them instructions. The crew worked quietly, methodically, efficient, and pleasant. Full cleanup at the end of their work day. Cornell returned at the end of the day, checked progress, and asked if I had any questions. Second day ~ Same daily routine. Plumber (Ben) in, with one additional crew member part day. I am not a plumber, but through many years of hiring plumbers I felt this one was a bit slow in getting done what he did. However, he did do his job well, finished what he needed to accomplish, and cleaned up, and left for the day. Third day ~ Same daily routine. Electrician (Paul) in, with one additional crew member part day. Paul was methodical in mapping out what he needed to do, where to run electrical wires, where to most efficiently have switches, outlets, etc. placed. He worked well through the day to accomplish his duties and did the usual full cleanup at the end of the day. Fourth day (Thanksgiving Day) ~ Cornell in, gave instructions, and with my permission a crew of three worked half day+ finishing sheetrock, working the "mudding" process, and did the usual full clean-up at the end of their work. Fifth day ~ Cornell in, reviewed work to be done with electrician (Paul), who continued his methodical, efficient job. Two more crew members, Joe (returning member) and John to work in the pocket door and framing. Sixth day ~ Drywall/"mudding" process with crew member (another John) with full cleanup at end of his time. Reviewing my notes as the days passed there was a definite pattern for the success of this company ~ Planning, Organization, Instructing his excellent crew, Execution ~ and Cornell's personal contact with his customer with almost daily frequency. He and his entire crew were always on time, worked quietly, efficiently, all knew their specific trade or profession without question, and always left for the day with my home in neat order. There were a few times I was frustrated ~ when I had no workers here until mid-afternoon, but that soon was resolved. I had two different crews show up and a great deal was accomplished in a short period of time ~ again leaving with full cleanup at the end of the day. All electrical ~ new light fixtures, switches, receptacles, all new flooring ~ vinyl and carpet, new vanities in place, all plumbing, painting, and various other small jobs were completed in rapid order. The time to complete? Two weeks and one day (with Thanksgiving in the middle!) I will now enjoy my beautiful remodeled areas thanks to Cornell and his special crew. AND I would not hesitate to recommend Cornell, his company and crew, CORNELL'S QUALITY CONSTRUCTION for any job. Peggy L Kirkland, WA read more

It's been 5 years now since I bought this house and Cornell and his crew did the original work. I now live in Seattle. Since then they have remodeled the master bath, added a laundry room, paved the back which was a mud pit, and totally gutted and remodeled the main floor: kitchen, bath, dining and living rooms and rebuilt the front and back porches and refinished the decks. All of this with good humor, timeliness and very competitive pricing. I am shocked at any other feedback since I was living in the house the entire time these projects were going on and had only positive experiences with Cornell and his staff. In the middle of all of this I came down with a serious flu and one of the crew came back from Lowe's having stopped at a drug store and brought me Gatorade and crackers! Mine is a 1914 house and there were many problems to be solved. Cornell worked smoothly with my designer to get me what I wanted and "made good" on any problems that came up, even when it was one of the many problems caused by the cabinet maker. read more

Cornell and his team completed a kitchen, dining room, family room and bathroom remodel for us. They did an outstanding job from working together on the design, selecting the materials, and working in a professional, high quality, courteous manner to complete the project. One of our friends recommended them after we had seen the work they had done on their house. We fully agree, outstanding job Cornell to you and your team on the work you have done on our house! read more

Cornell's Quality Construction (CQC) lives up to its name in every respect. Their renovation of our 1920's era bathroom is indeed high quality, especially the exquisitely done tile work. The work crew is skilled, courteous, and reliable. Cornell is a hands-on owner/manager who is a very positive, engaged professional and a real pleasure to work with. We feel CQC offers the best value (great quality & competitive price) compared to other contractors we've worked with over the past 30 years. We've already recommended CQC to friends and would definitely call on them again! read more

Cornell's workers did SUPERB tile work in my master suite (bathroom & dressing room 2013) & just completed tiling in my bathroom/laundry room, including 3 niches in the shower with glass tile deco bands and white Carrara marble subway tiles inside and outside the shower. Cornell is great to work with and his prices are extremely reasonable. Shower doors were expertly installed. I would have no qualms having his company do major remodels and would expect that his kitchen remodels would be beautiful. Cornell has excellent esthetic design & remodel insights and would be very helpful to home owners who don't have a lot of experience themselves. His crews are very hard and meticulous workers and are great human beings. I very highly recommend Cornell's Quality Construction! read more

CQC did a large bathroom remodel and later an entire kitchen demolition and remodel. The work was excellent and they followed up on a number of small things needing touch-up. The price of the jobs were fair. The crew spent a lot of time with no one else there and there were no concerns about safety or our property. They're very trustworthy. CQC will be doing some future jobs my home. I highly recommend them. read more

Cornell remodeled our master bathroom after we had a leak in the old shower. He was amazing! Cornell himself was very prompt and very professional. He worked with us to help keep the project within budget, and he brought great ideas to help with the design process. His team was incredibly professional. They worked quickly and did a superb job. Cornell and his team have a great eye for detail and the do not cut corners. We have referred him to many of our friends and will be using him again soon to do counter tops and add an addition to our bedroom. read more
