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

We first worked with them for a kitchen remodel in 2023 and are still blown away by the work they were able to do for us! We removed an old wall and created a kitchen island to open up our space, set up a custom coffee bar, and fully ripped out all old finishings/etc! They were able to match the old arches of our 1927 to bring the character into our modern kitchen that we love about our house. They were extremely communicative about any changes, challenges, or delays. We even went on a long vacation during the project and we felt completely at ease knowing they were progressing on the kitchen while we were away. We recently brought Sadie, Medardo, and Gerardo back in for some plumbing, drywall, and electrical upgrades that became a bit of an upstairs project. Their work is exceptional every time and we know we will continue to work with their team in the future. Highly recommend!

This was done during one of the busiest and most chaotic construction markets in Seattle's history. Smith NW Homes has earned 7 out of 5 stars for their exceptional work! While we have heard sad stories from friends having construction done, we have had one of the most enjoyable and positive experiences while working with Spencer. Our house is beautiful (on quality). We moved in as scheduled (on time). We came in at exactly the cost Spencer told us (on budget). Who does that? Smith NW homes did. Delivering a house (one of the biggest investments of anyone's life) that provides the design and features that turns a house into a personalized home, and does so within a target budget, requires a strong process and a reliable quality driven team of craftsmen. Spencer explained his process to us at the outset but it wasn't until we had experienced it from beginning to end, that we could fully appreciate how it translated into such a positive experience and outstanding product. Listens - Spencer spent a lot of time with us in the beginning to understand how we wanted to use our home, what types of features we wanted and how much money we had to spend. He then worked with designers and engineers to create a design that met our vision that could be accomplished within our budget. Selections - Spencer made multiple "field trips" with us to select finishes, cabinetry, fixtures and lighting that appealed to us. The great part is that he guided and helped us make selections that complemented one another to create a consistent thought and feel from the exterior front entrance - through the house and into the rear yard. It doesn't cost more to have a cohesive, artistic look. It takes the disciplined and artistic approach Spencer brings to selection meetings. Fixed Price Bid - Spencer then created a guaranteed price for the project that reflected the design we had chosen and features selected. It was at this point we had the opportunity to revisit our design or selections if we had concerns. What do we buy today that we are not aware of what it will cost us? Spencer believes that should apply to one of our biggest investments too. This approach provides incentive to get the job completed quickly, provide high quality to avoid rework and repairs and for the contractor to give lots of attention to each project. All materials have been spec'd in advance to assure quality control. It is a great approach. Quality - Spencer comes from 3 generations of home builders and is the benefactor of decades of refining quality processes, finding the best vendors and subcontractors and problem solving skills. Spencer is a perfectionist, in the finest sense of the word. Good enough was never good enough. He was relentless in providing perfection in every process, knowing that great quality at the outset, assures a quality home for decades to come. Remarkable Team - A contractor rarely has a hammer in their hand. They rely on their subcontractors to do the work. It becomes evident very quickly that a builder is only as good as his subs. His ability to stay on schedule is only possible if he can count on his subs to show up when they are supposed to. Spencer has worked with most of his subs for 5 yrs, 10 yrs and 20 yrs. These are long term relationships with proven quality and a long term commitment to one another. We felt we had the best craftsman in every area from framers, to tilers, to painters and landscapers. Imagine what a positive difference that makes in the finished product that will be your home for years to come. Ability to Make Changes - As our project evolved we decided we wanted to add to some of our cabinetry, change some windows and adjust our landscaping. No problem. We signed a fixed price change order for each of those things and the amount was added to our original price. The only price changes were changes that we requested. Each month we received an easy to read invoice which showed the percentage of completion of each phase at that point in the project. Spencer may have had cost over-runs in our project but we never heard about any of them. He stayed by his commitment to us. A great wrap up - When our project was completed, Spencer did a thorough walk through going through every element of our home. He showed us tags he placed on every shut off valve and safety item identifying what they turned on or off. Plus, he delivered two three ring binders. One with instruction manuals for every appliance and electrical device in the house. The other, was filled with contact information for every subcontractor who worked on or supplied materials for our home should we ever desire to contact them. Rich and Becky Budke

You will need to get someone else to sort that out."), and once I had the permit, Scott sent over a contract. The contract included a clause stating "all claims and disputes between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration" which I didn't feel comfortable with. I suggested removing that clause, and Scott insisted on it remaining in the contract as written. I accepted and asked Scott if he would like me to sign electronically or on paper. At that point I didn't hear from him for one week despite multiple emails and phone calls. After a week, he emailed me saying the negotiation (despite my accepting the original contract in the end) was a "big red flag from me and I don't think we can do the job for you." Overall I found this interaction to be incredibly unprofessional, especially since we had been in communication for multiple months and intended to start contraction in just a few weeks.
