I hired Puget Sound Abatement to perform abatement work at my home after a tree strike, and my…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. Three items--a partial curtain rod, crib hardware, and a stepping ladder--went missing after the period their crew had exclusive access to my home. A value of $373.96 from a $41,019.80 bill. I have timestamped photos showing these items being present before work began and during, and missing after their crew finished. Despite providing this evidence and a detailed timeline, the company repeatedly denied responsibility, suggesting the items may have been moved before their arrival, even though we had not lived in the home and no other work had occurred during that time. It makes no sense for us to lose these 3 random items as they claimed when there were much more valuable items in the impacted room. The company promised comprehensive documentation of all items handled for insurance purposes, but what I received was incomplete and inconsistent. Some photos were sent to my husband, and there was no clear record of items removed from certain rooms and where they placed each item in the kitchen. When issues were raised, the company provided shifting explanations and ultimately refused to reimburse the $373.96 replacement cost for the missing items. Additionally, I had to correct a previous billing error where I was charged for all quoted hours that were not worked. This, combined with the poor communication and lack of accountability, left me with no confidence in their professionalism or customer service. I am sharing this experience so other homeowners are aware of the risks and documentation issues. If you expect clear records and accountability, I recommend considering another company.

I wrote to the company to request that the quote be e-mailed to us, but we never received the quote.

I had Seismic Northwest install a reinforcing beam, drywall work, and electrical. They did a great…read morejob with the beam and the drywall work, the electrical was another matter. Long story short, I requested that all of the new connections be made in boxes that were accessible, such that if there is ever an issue, the connection points are easily discoverable and accessible. Despite the communication, the net result was that they left 2 hidden connections in the ceiling, and what's worse, they used 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit. While communicating about the boxes etc, they were not honest on 2 different occasions; once where I had to push back for them to expose a connection that was hidden, and another time when I discovered the hidden connections they created in order to expose a connection in box. I had another electrician come out to fix the issues after I discovered the hidden connections and 14 gauge wire. Now, for what is worth, I don't know how much the issue stemmed from Rocky or the crew he had on the job. If they just did the structural work and the drywall, I'd easily give them 5 stars, but because of the unfortunate experience with their electrical work, I had to bring it down to 2 stars. If they just did electrical, I would have easily given then 1.

I hired them to repaint my main floor and the transformation is simply incredible. My home now feels brighter, more modern, and much more cohesive. Soren handled the initial walkthrough and bid, and I immediately felt comfortable with his professionalism, attention to detail, and straightforward communication. Gabriel managed the project and his crew throughout the job, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The American Classic Painters team was extremely pleasant to work with and completed the project exactly within the timeline they promised. Their prep work was thorough, the lines are clean, and the overall finish quality is excellent. What really stood out was how seamless the entire process felt--clear communication and a final result that exceeded my expectations at a very fair price. I would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality, professional paint job.

We have used Phinney Ridge Painting twice now for large projects- first a full house painting…read moreproject in a 100 year old house- top to bottom ceilings, walls, trim and stairs in early 2024, and second project a massive repaint and hole patching project after an exceptionally large electrical rewiring project in late 2025. At least 20+ holes were patched and are now absolutely invisible in our color-drenched home. Overall, communication is excellent- everyone on the team gets cc'ed on emails, project managers visit the site regularly, and the onsite leads are extremely professional and detail-oriented. Arnoldo was our first project painting lead, his skill is unparalleled- watching him paint or come up with a painting solution for a tricky area is astounding. Adrian M was our most recent painting lead, and he is focused, efficient and clearly works very hard (the guy runs fast but is very professional in everything he does) and has a level of skill that is unmatched. Everyone is polite, respectful of our home and friendly. Phinney Ridge is tidy and clean, they take feedback well when things aren't quite perfect, and they are timely and efficient, and they solve problems. The cost and quality are commensurate, their experience is well evidenced and they always have solutions for tricky old house problems, plus a great warranty. I would happily hire again, and we plan to when the time comes to paint the exterior of our house in another year or two.

I went up and checked before, during and post work and we are so pleased. We are now properly vented and have airflow, have all areas sealed, vent fans sealed correctly and enough insulation. It took only about an hour for the estimate, including the 1/2 hour the gentleman took to write it up and provide photos, work to be done and costs (in a color pamphlet!). He also reviewed what was found and what work should be done and why. We were really impressed. The actual work was scheduled week later and took 2 days (did not take an entire day each day). They were quick, clean, put up plastic barriers to protect the walls, house and floor. No leakage of any debris or old soiled insulation occurred. 10/10 would hire again. Note: they took care if the PSE rebates and were recommended by PSE.

The proposal itself already included a clause stating the work would be considered partial remediation with no warranty attached, so liability concerns had already been addressed in writing.

Based on my experience, be very clear about scope and expectations before requesting a proposal from this company. They will scope creep on you.

From the initial sales conversation, through scheduling and the actual installation, the entire experience was seamless and fairly priced. Vlad in sales was particularly great.

The crew was incredibly efficient. They knocked the whole job out in a single day while I was at work, and everything was clean when they took off.

What I thought could be an issue turned out to be fine, and they had me walk through and inspect it to make sure I was happy. It took a while to sort through quotes for what ended up being a simple insulation job, the big companies gave a range that was ridiculous to me when I provided them my budget and desired outcome. I was ready to shelve the project when an inspector I've used and referred myself laughed and gave me Rainier Insulation, he uses them exclusively and told me to have them walk through. John came and asked me what I wanted, not what he could sell me, but just what the job was. I said a simple blown cellulose job, install baffles and air seal where there's a few leaky spots, he gave me a quote and said there's some ducting that's uninsulated but wrapping that and touching up anything else would be a simple job and included. That's it- they came on time, were attentive to not dragging hoses through the garden, laid out clean barriers to keep cellulose and footprints off the floor, and did the job quickly and well. I have two more jobs, and they're going to Rainier.
