Urban Build reconstructed our living room and front porch this past late summer/early fall. Our…read more1908 house had gone through some unfortunate late mid-century re-modeling stripping its original character and cluttering it with junky finishing and inefficient design. Mike Dolge, Jason, and James helped us re-build the front half of the house to be a more open, larger feeling living area with clever and charming built-ins that add needed storage space while preserving flexibility. They were able to blend building back in some Craftsman detail with a more modern, lighter sensibility that makes it feel like we added SF. Of the many compliments that we've received, my favorite is "it looks like this is the way it was always supposed to be," even though it looks and feels very different. We are so pleased with how it came out. Mike is creative, an excellent listener and had many good suggestions as to how to improve the space in the way that we wanted in a cost-effective manner. Both Jason and James, who did the majority of the work, are highly skilled carpenters who care about quality. We're kinda particular (my husband is a designer), so they had to do alot of checking in with us and problem-solving to get what we wanted. The whole crew are nice guys who were kind to my children and careful with clean-up. Mike also hires excellent subs who built a beautiful re-purposed madrona floor and tiled fireplace that Jason finished with the most gorgeous mantle of madrona. Highly recommend.

I recently had GeRoy Construction do some wood repair work on the fascia board of my house. I…read moreinitially thought the entire board would need to be replaced, but Joe and Rex determined that the wood rot wasn't as prevalent as I had thought, and they recommended repairing, sealing, and giving the wood a good thick paint cover (a considerably less expensive job!). I really appreciated their honesty and found their pricing to be very comparable. They were speedy, very friendly, and cleaned up so that I never knew they were there - except of course for my clean new fascia board. Additionally, I am a real estate agent and have hired GeRoy Construction to handle several handy-man type projects for my clients (again - very thorough, honest, and price competitive.) Have also recommended them to clients/friends to handle bigger remodel projects. Have heard nothing but good things!

They were able to help me drywall my kitchen ceiling and match it to the remainder of the condo; they installed base boards and new door frames for the entire condo; and they removed the mantle and TV area above the fireplace and re-framed it with studs so I could upgrade the TV. Super excited. Their price was super reasonable and they very efficient and clean...I highly recommend them for any home improvement project.

Where do I even start. My wife and I hired Handyman based off of all the positive reviews and our…read moreinteractions during the quoting process. We asked to have a room converted back into a bedroom after the previous owner had tore it down. They said it was a very simple job, put up a few walls, hang a door, etc. and that it would take 5-7 days to complete. Handyman hires subcontractors and assigns them to a job, we were assigned Ro. He was very nice and had a good personality, but was extremely unprofessional, always late, skipped days without notice, quality of work was very poor, always lied, over promised, under delivered. The total length of the project was over 8 and a half weeks. 40 business days or 56 days of people in and out of our home, which was far more than 5-7 days. Each week we received a note that stated it would be completed by end of week, which was a lie each time. Job started 4/8 - Job ended 6/4 Ro would have random people at our home on any given day, some of which I'm not sure if they were licensed as he claimed one person was his "brother" and that gentleman seemed like he didn't know what he was doing. Example would be this man painted all of the was with paint that had no primer in it and did not primer first. So the following day when it dried, the paint started to flake and peel off in chunks. Ro would also leave piles of trash at our house and construction debris in our walkway, which in our contract it said he would take it every night. Did not mask off the room correctly, got dust in every crevice of our home, and made it impossible to walk through with the way he hung it. In total we had about 12+ people (contractors?) work on a job that was claimed to be simple and only take a few days to complete. Durning these agonizing 8+ weeks, I was in contact with Travis the owner. I was expressing constant frustrations and concern of quality of work. He would always over promise and under deliver, along with zero follow up. For the duration of the job I felt as though I was the project manager on his behalf. It wasn't until his GM Jeff returned from vacation and I demanded and in person conversation that Ro was removed from the job and the rework began on all of the things he messed up. Jeff was good to work with and has much better communication. But anything is better than almost nothing. Rework was as followed: Door was framed wrong and had to be removed and replaced All walls needed to be skim coated (they did this close to 6 times?) walls still uneven. Floor had to be torn out and redone a floor guy laughed at how bad it was done the first time Baseboards were removed and replaced but have gaps everywhere. Drywall damaged after install, replaced and fixed Fan was wired incorrectly causing the circuit to trip All the door trim was installed with wood screws and was over filled with too much wood fill A bunch of damage happened to things unrelated to the job that I asked them to fix. They painted 3 times as they kept having to fix things I'm sure other things but this was all I documented After all the rework and continuing quality issues of work being done we told Travis and Jeff that it was fine to call the job "completed" and please cut us an invoice. Even with us not being satisfied with the finished product, we wanted them out and our home back. We received a muddy invoice that we had to verify as it was a mess, once confirmed we paid it and moved on with our lives. Now everyday I look at that part of my house in regret of hiring this company. I'm writing this review in hopes that you can avoid what we went through and I would encourage you will find a better company to work with, as we have. Here are some pictures of the issues durning that caused rework along with the "finished product" I would not recommend them in the least bit.

Paid to have squishy floor shored up. B team put down real thin plywood.

LVP installed and bathroom done, and my floor is still squishy and LVP is separating and cracking in spots. That said they were the only ones I could find who would do subfloor repair, so that's something.

I had Ryan do some minor work during the pandemic and decided to reach out to him again for a…read morerecent project involving a leak. The leak ended up being related to bathtub plumbing instead of an actual pipe leak (got lucky). It took some detective work but he ultimately was able pinpoint it based on a bit of trial and error. He also helped cut out a previously walled up window in my garage. Like previous reviews, he does do a good job explaining what he's doing and even giving tips in the event I encounter something similar. He charges by the hour but doesn't waste time. Towards the end I consulted him on a potential for further garage remodeling and he's pretty honest about cost/scope of work/time needed on some ideas I had. He's not afraid to refer others in his network who can charge less or do a better job then he can (that's rare). Overall, he gives me honest feedback, doesn't over promise delivery of work, comes on time, works smart and quickly, and is pretty laid back.

Ryan was informative, resourceful, and overall a huge help. I asked a ton of questions throughout the entire job, and Ryan was extremely patient answering everything in detail.

Thanks to him, not only was everything completed, but I now know a little about how to fix similar issues in the future!

Greg is truly exceptional, a rare find.

Greg responded quickly, professionally, and with a level of craftsmanship that's increasingly hard to find. His work was clean, precise, and blended seamlessly with the surrounding concrete. While we were discussing the driveway, I also asked if he could take a look at a separate issue, a front entry handrail with failed anchorage. He took it on without hesitation. Turns out, that kind of repair is right up his alley as well. Both the driveway patch and the handrail repair look fantastic. Greg's quality of work, responsiveness, and pride in doing the job right make him someone I'll be calling again. Highly recommended.

Prior to contacting them, I had called a few contractors that either way overpriced or had a hard time communicating. Andrew was very pleasant to talk to and we were able to negotiate a price I felt was reasonable. The proposal was detailed and I understand what the scope of the work will be. People that worked on the project were knowledgeable. They explained what they are doing and answer my questions and concerns. The project in the end concluded to my satisfaction. Overall I do recommend their service.

From day one, communication was outstanding. Mike kept us informed throughout the entire process, explaining each step clearly and answering all our questions promptly. When unexpected challenges arose during the project (as they often do with older homes), they worked proactively to find solutions rather than just presenting problems. What really impressed us was their collaboration with our structural engineer. They worked seamlessly together, respecting the engineering specs while also providing valuable practical insights from their construction experience. This teamwork gave us complete confidence in the quality and safety of the work. The craftsmanship itself was top-notch, but what truly sets them apart is their integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. Several weeks after the official project was completed, they noticed a couple of minor items that needed attention and came back to take care of them without hesitation--no extra charge, no complaints, just pure professionalism. If you're looking for a contractor who combines technical skill, excellent communication, problem-solving abilities, and genuine integrity, I highly recommend hiring Mike and his team. They've earned a lifetime customer in us. Project: Basement structural repair - post and beam replacement in West Seattle. Our house was built in 1942.
