I recently shopped all of Bellingham for the materials to build my new deck, and happily purchased from Builders Alliance. Their staff is very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and can walk you through any building project that you can conceive of. And their lumber yard is the most well-stocked in the entire city. Do yourself a favor, skip the box stores and head here next time you have a home project to tackle - I'm glad I did. PS Once or twice a year they hold a decking expo, where reps from all of the decking suppliers do on-site demonstrations coupled with the lowest prices of the year. If you're in the market for a deck don't miss this. It made a huge difference for me when choosing for our deck.

Noticed a few with damage from strapping. Once I opened the load, 10 of 38 boards had serious scratches, some had imbedded rocks, 3 of 4 fascia not usable..at $100 plus each, handling in the supply chain and shipping leaves a lot to be desired.

He Just Blew Me Off For Five Months…read more I am a single woman looking to get my bathroom and bedroom remodeled. I called Dreamaker in early January wanting to set up an appointment to come out and give me an estimate. A man named Ron Faber called back and came to my house to evaluate the job then sent me an estimate on January 18th and I decided to hire this company to do the work. He said he would call next week but never did. When I emailed him on Feb 8th to see why there was a delay, he said one of his carpenters was out and apologized. He asked to come by and re-measure on February 12th which I agreed to then he made an appointment for me to come into the office and make decisions about what I wanted for hardware and cupboards and countertops on February 19th at 10:00 in the morning. When I got to the office, he was not there but I made the decisions with one of the women who work in the office anyway. On March 7th he emailed me that there was a fiberglass shortage and my remodel would be delayed until June. I thought that was weird but agreed to wait. On April 24th, I emailed him because I was trying to figure out my schedule for the coming months and he told me that actually, they would tentatively be able to start May 21st and he would call me next week. Next week came and went with no call and the week of May 21st came and went with no remodel. I emailed him on May 30 to tell him that I don't want to do business with him and his company because he is not a man of his word and I was obviously not a valued customer. I don't recommend Dreamaker for doing a remodel. Ron Faber just blew me off and I was stupid to waste five month of my life waiting for a company that obviously didn't value my business.

Only two sinks available: a round, deep shape and a rectangle shape. I picked my counter and the round sink. Hanna (assist. Mgr.) suggested the rectangle but I needed round--she took notes. Later, Hanna (Assist. Mgr.) tried to talk my daughter and I into the rectangle. I was firm with my round choice. My contractor picked up the materials and installed them in the bathroom. Guess what I got!!! Yep, as new and pretty as my new bathroom is, I ended up with that damned rectangle sink which I am stuck with forever. I was really careful about this, but she got me!

If you're looking to install or repair wood floors, I'd definitely recommend Fairhaven Floors…read more My situation was tricky. The initial bid was to remove the carpet and refinish the original wood floors while also installing new wood floors in the remaining living areas. Once they started the work, though, we found that the original floors had issues and there were several necessary support beams missing, all while I was coordinating a move from Seattle and trying to be out of storage and into the house by the end of May. Mike and his team bent over backwards to accommodate me - they fit me in around other jobs, worked on weekends, helped find someone to fix the beams on very short notice and met the original schedule - all at an affordable price. They were professional, did an excellent job of communicating where we were in the process and the floors are beautiful.

We had Fairhaven Floors install flooring and stair carpeting in our home. The floor installation…read morewas mostly fine, the stair carpeting was chaotic, and in both cases there was unfinished work. The owner made several promises to fix the unfinished bits, while stating that it wasn't going to be possible to properly do so, but never did come back and complete the work. Three and a half years later, I'm having flooring done in another part of the house, and the flooring guy was quite easily able to address the issues with the carpet and floor installation that Fairhaven left unfinished. Yes, I had to hire someone else to finish the job. My mistake for paying before the job was 100% complete.
