After meeting with Aharon and MNBE Construction and Development LLC, we hired them to replace the siding and update the exterior of our home. Throughout the process, Aharon demonstrated great vision, creativity, and attention to detail. In addition to the exterior renovation, I shared some concerns about the size of our kitchen and the need for an additional bedroom. Aharon came up with an innovative solution that included expanding the kitchen and adding an ADU to the property. We were so impressed with his ideas, professionalism, and knowledge that we decided to hire MNBE Construction and Development LLC for a second project to design, permit, and build our ADU. The planning and design process has exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely pleased with the proposed layout and overall concept. We are confident the finished project will be amazing. We highly recommend Aharon and his team to anyone looking for a contractor who truly listens, thinks creatively, and delivers outstanding results

Aharon was great to work with--super organized, easy to talk to, and always on top of things. The whole process went smoothly, and the team delivered high-quality work without delays or surprises. We were so happy with the results that we've already booked them to redo our third bathroom soon. If you want a contractor who's reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, MNBE is a solid choice.

We worked with J&M on a bathroom remodel. Bathroom is 5x6 feet and quote was for 6 weeks work and…read more50k. We ended project at 18 weeks and 60k. During our project, the sub-contractors damaged the wall while installing our toilet by drilling through the wall and failing to hook up the toilet correctly so that water was pouring straight into our basement. The sub-contractor did pay for these damages. We had no supply chain issues with our project as we had purchased all the materials ourselves before hand. Our primary issues with working with J&M was that due to the amount of projects they had going on, it felt that unless we were actively saying we were unhappy with progress and calling J&M frequently, there would only be work at our home 1 or 2 days a week. When asking for estimates for components J&M were unable to provide accurate estimates. For example, it was estimated that tiling our shower would take 1 week with 2 people due to the complex design. It ended up taking 3 weeks. This is our only bathroom, so we lived with my parents for several weeks, but I would hesitate to recommend J&M to anyone who doesn't have a flexible timeline. In addition, J&M failed to notify of us of change orders that resulted in an increase of price. These were supposed to be agreed upon mutually before the work was completed, but instead J&M released them after the work was done and were forced to eat the cost. J&M did not provide any options to mitigate this cost even though this was in direct breach of our contract. Ultimately, we are reasonably happy with the final outcome of our bathroom, but extremely unhappy with path to get there. We ended up not asking for several fixes as we were so fed up with the inaccurate timelines and constantly changing estimates. Fixes include 1) bleeding paint on ceiling, 2) missed paint spot, 3) grout on window and tile, 4) miss-cut vanity counter-top, and 5) dip in floor tiling causing one spot to not drain. All in all, J&M has good general contractors, but seem extremely mismanaged in the back of office. If you do work with them, double check all billing multiple times as we found several inaccuracies. Hold J&M to prices and push back on change order process.

We hired Shirey Home Pro for significant deck repair on our 50plus-year-old house: A couple of…read morejoists had rot and the wood deck boards needed replacing despite regular maintenance through the years. At Shirey's suggestion, we used TimberTech Azek boards and found a MAXI version in Coastline grey. We're now done except for the custom railing on order, and couldn't be happier. Lead carpenter Bryan is a deck mastermind who was great at figuring out sound, good-looking solutions to our issues. Both he and fellow carpenter Jeromy were highly skilled and efficient, left the work site immaculate at the end of every day and were also just nice to have around. We like the results so much we added fascia and new board for our catwalks to the original agreement. Shirey's inside staff -- coordinator Ashley and bookkeeper Brenda -- are equally great, and especially good at timely, clear communication. We look forward to using Shirey Home Pro again and highly recommend them.

Chris and Lucas took pride in their work and the finished product looks better then when the house was originally built! After each day of work all materials were picked up and they cleaned up too! Thanks for a job well done, I'll be calling for some inside trim work this summer! Thanks again!!

Larry, the project manager is kind, respectful and communicated every step of the way. I was a little sad when they were done because Larry wouldn't be coming over anymore, he was just an overall pleasure to have around. Rhonda makes sure that the billing is transparent and detailed down to the penny so we never had any surprises or questions. Bill is a seasoned professional who works with contractors that have a commitment to quality.

They gave me a good bid for fiber cement board siding. I will admit some problems were due to my communication errors; and another challenge was I was not in the state when the project was going on unfortunately. So I appreciate their efforts to accommodate me when I requested pictures of the project progress. one error I made was a wrong paint color and I appreciate that they did not charge me extra for correcting my error. There were however, problems with returning my exterior fixtures back to the locations that they were before the project began (flag mount hose mounts, solar lights, circuit breaker box ground wire covers) I think my feedback for them for their future work, would be to take video or pictures pre and post and compare to make sure everything is cleaned up and returned as expected (so The customer doesn't have to bring it up to them). ​

It was a traumatic experience. There was no direction from the foreman/manager. My requests were not fulfilled. I explained about the areas that I wanted not to be done, as I had planned to later put stained wood siding on those areas and come home to find them Hardi Planked. They stepped on and broke my bushes which are permanently damaged. They broke my kitchen garden window and said it "it looked like it was broken on the inside" inferring that I had broken it. They had garbage thrown all over my yard the entire time and my front covered porch looked like a homeless camp with food left there and thrown on the door leaving grease stains . They also left a microwave there for months to heat their food. Not an experience I would want to relive. Ugh.

After I'd paid for the roof I saw the rot - couldn't believe that Rick hadn't contacted me about it. Now, it's going to cost at least double to get it fixed, I've had two contractors out and both are disgusted that the rotted boards weren't replaced by the roofer. I contacted Rick at Tops Roofing and was told that it was my fault for not telling him to replace the boards. Unbelievable. I will NEVER use this company again and based on my last conversation with him, I will NEVER recommend this company.

I have multiple properties and have,therefore, hired more roofers than most people do. (Also I am expert in roofing and flashing myself) Rick, the owner of TOPS ROOFING is truly 'the tops" !! He is a master at roofing, and the best available in my opinion. I had copper valleys and flashing done on my residence (along with the roof of course) and he is the ONLY one I would ever consider to use such expensive materials (copper) and know it would be done perfect. The chimney flashing: not a bend in the copper, perfectly installed and never a leak (it has been years now) W-valley same: beautiful work and no leaks. Rick is truly an EXPERT with attention to detail (like the slight overhang you need over the metal drip edge that goes into the gutter) (like creasing the copper flashing to re-direct the water so it did not rot an end rafter tail) LOTS of high skill items your average homeowner would never think to notice/ask about. THIS IS THE GUY TO HIRE if you want a no leak, great look, competitive price. If you want the best: hire Rick - the long term owner of Tops Roofing. Also: he now lives in Port Gamble,but does roofing all throughout the greater Seattle area,and more. . Cooperative, on time, and TOP SKILL ! Why hire some cheap idiot or fly by night and risk that your roof will leak (which can costs thousands of dollars in repair and also a leak often sets up mold and mildew and that becomes a health issue and can even interfere with selling your house. Why risk that with some idiot? ( and there are plenty in the roofing trades!) Rick owns this company......and he cares.... and is simply the best. Free estimates. He is booked ahead - so call now and tell him Pat Davis from W. Seattle recommended him on Yelp !
