If I had a question, they were quick to respond giving me the information I needed or explaining the process. Before I was referred to them we had been working with another mortgage broker who left us feeling pretty frustrated and hopeless about the home buying process. We had also looked into quicken loans (who led us on a wild goose chase) SO by the time I contacted Northwestern I was doubtful about this whole "buying a house" business and I was pretty sure we were going to be stuck in our overpriced rental until we eventually got priced out with lease renewals. A tent in the woods was looking like a living option. Right out of the gates Northwestern was on point, super encouraging and supported us the entire way through. Instead of a tent in the woods, we got our dream house in the woods!! We close on our house tomorrow and I could not be more excited! Thank you Matt, Kelly and Vicky, your team is awesome!!

The initial painting of our house was okay. The crew was hardworking and they were done pretty…read morequickly. However; one of the reasons I selected this business (and paid more than other bids) is because of the 2-year warranty that they offered, which turned out to be useless. When the 2-year mark arrived, it was like pulling teeth to get Adam to honor his warranty. He would ghost me for long stretches. After several months of nagging, I did eventually get him to come out, but he had one crew member who spent about 1.5 hours working on the bubbled areas (and there were lots!). Adam assured me his crew would sand/scrape the bubbled areas, but they didn't do that. The guy just slapped paint over the spots. Obviously, that isn't going to hold. Now, I am faced with fixing the mess myself. All of that nagging for 1.5 hours of work by one guy! They also wouldn't fix the front door which had not fared well over the 2 years and the wood was splitting. If you care at all about the warranty, I would skip this contractor. And I certainly will NOT be a repeat customer.

Adam was able to get the paint mixed so that it was identical to my original colors from 12 years ago.

We had priced pre-built cabinets thinking that they would be more cost efficient, but his bid convinced us to go with custom built, and we are so glad we did! He built cabinets in our large kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. He also built shelving in our pantry, five closets, bookshelves, a mantle, and modified and refinished two antique vanities for other bathrooms. Kevin included so many extras making far more efficient use of our space. His craftsmanship and attention to details was excellent and you won't find a nicer guy!

He pointed out items of possible concern that were not even in our radar at every showing..Extremely insightful and not just looking for a quick close. There was a point at which if felt defeated by the current sellers market and said "let's just write the offer" and he made sure to point out what would most likely bother us in the long run with the house and continued to show us properties until we found one that right one. And he was completely right, and saved us all a lot of time and effort by being direct about such, because knowing myself, we would have back tracked out of the deal during our inspection period when the excitement level dropped a bit. Knowing how to navigate your clients personality for their own good is a wonderful quality that can't be thought. Even if you are just considering moving to Bend, call him!

Ref: Griffin Heating…read more I've had a recent experience with Griffin Heating. After using them for several years for the annual servicing of our HVAC system, I called them to fix an issue I was having with our gas fireplace. They inspected the fireplace and determined it needed a new gas valve. They sent me a quote for $1,070.00 which seemed very high for the work involved. I asked them to send a breakdown of their quote (parts and labor). They responded saying the Part would be $341.00 and the Labor would be $729.00. When I responded that the Labor cost seemed extremely high for what I knew could not be more than a couple of hours Labor, they replied that "This is the cost for us to cover our labor and overhead for this repair. We welcome you to contact someone else if you want to try to find it cheaper". (How gracious of them). As I wasn't interested in "covering their overhead", I decided to follow their suggestion and shopped around. I found the gas valve on-line for $192.00 (a new OEM part) and found a local service company to install it for $235.00 (2 hours of Labor). The fireplace is working perfectly, and we now have a new vendor for our future HVAC needs. In today's economy it PAY$ to shop around.
