It's been three years now and after all we went through with John, he has held up his commitment to…read moredefend us with contractors' issues beyond his control. I appreciate that especially considering our original rating and expectations we felt were not met. I can only assume the experience three years ago was a learning lesson for all of us and do believe deep down that John is a good man with good intentions. The renovation itself is beautiful and we do not regret it.

Creekstone Designs is as good as it gets. Many contractors are wonderful when they bid the job, but…read moreby the time the job is over, so is the love affair. Not so with John May of Creekstone Designs. John listened to us as we explained the look we wanted for our new bath, asked us what we'd liked and disliked about our previous remodeling experiences and formulated a bid that met our needs. He established a work timeline and completed the work as scheduled. John's strengths: he is extremely polite and friendly, has a fabulous sense of design, and is articulate, trustworthy, and very detail oriented. The workers he subcontracts are all as personable and professional as he is. We recommend Creekstone Designs unequivocally.

Dann Wynn has done some excellent work for us, including repair of two windows in our sunroom that…read morewere rotting at the bottom. We didn't want to replace them with generic windows from a manufacturer so he took out the rotten sashes and repaired them at his workshop, replacing the rotten wood with clean new wood. He even repainted them in a color so close to the original, it's pretty much indistinguishable to my very picky eye. His work was careful and innovative -- it was a really difficult repair -- and he left the place completely tidy. Dann also rebuilt our back outdoor stairs and did a tidy, solid job of it. His rates are reasonable and he's quick, a great communicator and easy to be around. We recommended Dan to a friend who needed some fairly extensive work done in her kitchen and she said his work was excellent and he was a joy to have around (she works at home).

Our family recently moved to the West Linn area and were looking for some assistance with smaller…read moremaintenance and larger planned projects around our new home. After calling and meeting with several contractors and companies in the area we settled with Attar at Pacific West Homes & Renovations. Attar immediate stood out as both responsive and knowledgeable regarding our various needs. We recently completed a repair in our home and I am happy to say that our experience was very positive. From the initial quote, scheduling the work, and follow up Attar has been attentive through the whole process. The work was completed to budget and on time. Additionally, we had some questions a few days after our work was completed and Attar responded immediately. This is especially telling about their company ethics. Many services will have delayed response times or require chasing after payment has been made against a project. I definitely recommend Attar and Pacific West Homes & Renovations for your home improvements needs.

We contracted with Attar and had high hopes. He wrote a time and materials contract, but we told…read morehim we had a pretty tight budget for our tub remodel and he said he thought we could do the work within the dollar amount we gave him. He was very slow and ran us way over budget (he essentially billed us 89.00 per hour to put in tile, and he seriously billed us for 48 hours of tile work to put in 45 pieces of 12x24 tile). When we would ask for estimates to finish, he gave an estimate, and then took twice as long as his estimate. When we confronted him, he literally said, it's time and materials, it is what it is. We finally had him stop work when he was close to 50% over our original estimate (and he STILL wasn't finished). The final quality of work was so bad, we had to hire a new contractor and have all the tile torn out and start over. Be careful!

I hired Robert Page to clean my 9 x11.5' balcony to get it ready for summer- this was to include…read morevacuuming the furniture covers and space, glue a caster back on a furniture leg, removing an old rug, emptying the planters, and cleaning the balcony walls/railings of their grime, dust, webs, etc. He said that he could do the cleaning after seeing the photos, works quickly, and can do other projects. I let him know we'd start with the balcony. NEVER AGAIN for a cleaning or anything else based on his unwillingness to make the situation right. He charged $240, had poor technique and time utilization, and was not attentive to detail. He did glue the caster, remove the rug, and empty the planters, but did not bring drop cloths or wear shoe covers so he made a mess of my floors when he came in and out, including wet foot prints and water splashes, so now shop towel laundry for me because he didn't have any. He insisted on removing the couch cover to shake it out, despite my request to leave it in place and vacuum it first. Because it now has dust and pollen on both sides, I will be taking it to a carwash to spray it down. He refused to use his shop vac to vacuum the rest of the space too and didn't bring his own broom or soap/cleaner. When he asked for soap, I gave him dish soap. I thought it was to wash his bucket before he started. Nope! It was for the deck cleaning. When I asked him to use Oxiclean instead, which is what I've used for the dozen of balcony cleanings I've done, he said, "we'll try this first." He was out there working hard, but wasn't cleaning. Rather, he moved the dirt around with soap and water. I pointed out how dirty the balcony looked when he finished, and he told me "You'll just need to sweep it later." I was working from home and regret not looking at the space from more than just the doorframe, but after my meetings, I went out there and immediately took photos and contacted him, as I found myself wondering what I paid him for. He said he'd come back to continue the job, but would charge $80/hr. Why would pay him to do more poor quality work? I properly cleaned it myself, vacuuming up a bunch of debris, and dumping buckets and buckets of black water. I sent photos to him showing his after vs my after and asked for a partial refund, as this wasn't sitting right with me. Nope, he feels justified in what he charged. Lesson learned, don't pay until the job is done and done right! It was still so filthy out there after he left!! Photos speak for themselves. My family thought the pictures after his work were the before photos. He did show up on time and seems like a nice person, but I won't be using him again for any services and do NOT recommend him for cleaning, anything cleaning related, or any project that could make a mess unless you want to feel grossly overcharged and disappointed and have to clean up after him.

Jake…read moreresponded promptly with an offer to provide a bid for our backyard fence removal and construction of a fence around the perimeter of a rather steep terrain. Jake's communication about cost, required paperwork, scheduling and deposit was friendly and professional. He kept open communication throughout the project about arrival times and departures and developing scopes of the work. Once Jake was available to start our project, he and his team were steadfast in the execution of a well-made and unique fence. His team's work ethic was amazing, consistently working through strong winds on shaky terrain; they cleaned up really well. The fence itself is strong, consistently built and beautiful to look at. I'm getting rave reviews on social media. I'm proud of the fence that Jake built (pun intended). You would be lucky to work with Jake Handbury and H3 Construction.

I initially contacted them at the beginning of June for a quote and he has to reschedule due to COVID (understandable). We set up another date and he canceled an hour before our appointment time.. we rescheduled for a 3rd time and this time I waited for him all day and his response was "it slipped my mind". He finally came out but was unprepared and needed to have someone else come out to take measurements in order to give us an estimate... we are still waiting for that second person to come out and there's been no communication on their end. Don't waste your time.

Very thankful we found him, and very thankful we have him moving forward.

I found David (the owner) through Craigslist. His bid was half what everyone else was asking so I…read morehired him to repair a wooden gate that had been on it's last legs for quite a few years. I couldn't be happier with the work he did. The gate is now stronger (by far) than it was, even when it was new. He started the job almost immediately even though I was in no particular rush. He was true to his word and presented his bill which was stunningly inexpensive especially considering how much everyone else was charging..... Beyond that, David is a skilled and creative carpenter. Everyone else wanted to install a cheesy gate that was pretty much identical to the original cheesy gate that came with the house when I bought it. David's repair job will likely survive hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes. Well, ok...maybe not tornadoes but as I said, I couldn't be happier with the work and the price. I will definitely be calling on him for future work needs.
