We have loved working with Eric! He's worked on our house for two different projects which…read moreinvolved both major and minor structural changes/reframing, (including putting in a 550lb beam), skylight installation, and window installation. Eric was incredibly patient with the deluge of questions we had during the planning stages. He has excellent foresight and advice for everything from layout to return on investment. Expectations were clear from the start. He's really easy to work with and talk to. Both of our projects came in within the (very reasonable) quotes he provided. He was punctual and left the worksite clean and safe every day. 100% recommend.

They finished the work on time, being early at crucial milestones, and completed it under budget. Eric, the owner and contractor met with us several times ahead of the remodel to discuss what we wanted. He explained his philosophy and in depth knowledge of his craft. He said that he dedicates his time to one job at a time and kept our budget in mind. He communicated well with us so that we could understand and was patient and very positive. He gave us multiple options for our design with consideration given to functionality and Feng shui. His design capability was excellent and he used his real estate experience to help us in this way. However, he allowed us to make our own choices. We got a schedule of the remodel and a detailed list of the products needed and presumptive prices. We were given the option of buying our own and a credit or debit would be listed in this case. Eric would purchase the material if we didn't, keeping track of our budget. We bought about 60% of the materials. We were made aware of the tariffs put on some of the products, and the sales in the future when we could save on some of the products. We were advised to go slow on the larger purchases like the cabinets. We chose to DIY the flooring and paint. Being novices, Eric was very helpful in advising us in these areas allowing us again to stay in budget and on time. Prior to construction, Eric pointed out some red flags, such as a popcorn ceiling which did have some asbestos, and a leaky water main. He arranged for two other contractors to remove the asbestos and apply drywall. He also replaced our water main turn off valve. Overall, having a contractor who devotes his time to your remodel, punctual, keeps within budget, and tailor to how you live, no matter how large or small the remodel, is an excellent one.

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
