Ommy did a wonderful job on my backyard landscaping. However, he said that I didn't need a building…read morepermit and now a friend told me that I likely did need one and I don't know what to do. But even if I didn't need one, a good friend of mine had Ommy build a retaining wall for her and told her that she didn't need a permit. Well, she did, and Ommy didn't help her. It all fell on her shoulders to have the wall he installed removed, get the permits (which required engineering work), and have it installed again. It was extremely stressful and costly for her. The thing is that Ommy is a very nice and creative person. But I have a bad taste in my mouth because of my friend's experience and now because I don't know if my lack of having a building permit will haunt me. The fear, uncertainty, and doubt already is. Following up to Danielle's comment... Danielle, Two things: 1) I was never aware that my water feature isn't "permanent", and that therefore, a permit wasn't required. Ommy told me verbally that a permit wasn't needed and I trusted him. Yes, I am responsible for the electrical. 2) About my friend's honesty: She is part of a very tight cohort of friends including me. I have known her well for almost ten years, and we heard the entire story (from her perspective, it's true) for the last year. I believe her. My suggestion to you is that in the future you explicitly state in your contract whether a building permit is necessary or not, and have the owner initial the clause. Avoid "he said, she said" arguments. That's what good contracts are for.

We contracted with Zenji in 2024 to do a large landscaping job. They were paid in full the day of…read morecompletion on this 100+K landscaping job. We right away had a problem with the blue stone pavers as Zenji sealed the pavers with a product that failed turning white. I personally figured out how to remove the failed sealer but Zenji refused to warrantee the finish claiming we had altered the install. The lawn that was installed was dead within a month due to poor drainage. Zenji claimed we were responsible for drainage although we were never asked to provide drainage. Zenji is terrible to work with on warrantee items and takes an adversarial stance when asked to take care of problems. Do not work with this company.

CCD is an amazing contracting team. They do amazing work and they are honest. These are very hard…read moretraits to find in contractors which is sad. My husband and I have been working with them since 2020. Our first project was our 480 sq ft casita in our new home. The casita had not been touched since the house was built in the late 80's and it was very outdated. The first two estimates I receives were in the high 40's and 50's to remodel the 480 sq ft. CCD's estimate was in the low 30's and they stayed in budget and only went over schedule a few days which was not their fault. Every tradesman we have to go into the casita has postive comments on the workmanship. Tom and his team created a beautiful space that we could have my mother use while she is here in WA helping take care of our daughter. We have since used them in other projects in our main house: - adding a closet system for our daughter's room - adding a window to our basement guest room - closet system for the owner's suite - creating additional storage in our daughter's room - adding safety rails in our home - creating a statement wall in the owner's suite - making custom window treatments for the owner's suite - removing old built in from the house that were installed when the house was built in 88 - creating storage, statement wall and a custom desk for my office. My husband and I highly recommend Tom Lyman, Charlie Brown & the CCD team. They do amazing work!

I contracted Considerate Contracting to repair our bathroom after water damage, and they exceeded…read moreour expectations! Other companies we had before would cut corners, but Considerate took the time to make sure we were happy with the end result. For example, after having some molding installed we realized it wasn't the look we wanted. While some contractors might have been frustrated, instead Considerate promptly replaced it with one more to our taste, free of charge! I've never seen a company striving so much to make their customers happy. The owner assured me that their motto is to not leave a job until the customer gives the go ahead, and in my case they clearly lived up to that work ethic. We love our new bathroom; thank you Considerate!!

Tammy informed me they don't deliver to Burien and then proceeded to try to think of someone she knows who does.

So 5 stars for wonderful customer service.

There are many companies out there claiming to be "The Best"…read more If you truly want the best call this company-American Forest Lands LLC 425-432-5004 since 1964. You will get the best service, price and skills in this state period and guys who have the biggest hearts. The work they did for us was above and beyond what we hired them for. Tammy will take your info and Bub and his crew will be out to work when they say they will (actually sooner in my case lol). I can't say enough about Andrew and Josh and the company! You made our yard safe and nice. THANK YOU! and will be rehiring when ready for phase 2! If you want to see the pics go to google for my review there.

* HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * if you want to save time and money! :)…read more I sent out a service request with a few pictures for bids on leaf raking (front yard, back yard, side walk, driveway) around my mom's house. A&M was one of the first who responded and with a very competitive quote. There are providers who would only do in-person quotes which would waste a lot of my time if I were to have to drive there just for a bid. Some quotes are straight-up dishonest and overpriced. Compared to these, A&M stands out as the best option, and I've have no regrets hiring them! His crew came out and did a fantastic job without supervision! To summarize, A&M were able to deliver service that I'd consider efficient without wasting time going back-and-forth. - quote accurately and competitively based on pictures and details - quick and easy scheduling - effective messaging and communication - getting the job done - legit invoicing (through Intuit) I am definitely bookmarking A&M Landscape for my future needs.

He was able to come out quickly for a quote and listened for what I wanted, asked questions if anything was unclear, and provided suggestions I didn't even think of. Merced and his team came out and did the entire project in 6 days, exactly as promised. Their team showed up early and worked hard the entire day. They always made sure to tidy up their tools at the end of the day too. I was very impressed with their detail of work and how well they cleaned up the entire job site when they were done. We are super happy with our new backyard and are excited that we don't have to shuffle a sprinkler head around the lawn this summer. Highly recommend A&M Maintenance for all your landscaping needs. Look forward to hiring them again.
