We've been chasing a leak for quite a while. The company worked on several possibilities with tenacity and integrity. When it leaked again, they were out and worked tirelessly to track the source. We are pleased with the fairness they treated us with and would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

We have been so thankful for the guys at Tenhulzen - we had a water leak in our home when we were out of town. They graciously showed up the day we called (while we were still traveling) and began the cleanup and mitigation process. They worked with us to schedule the repairs conveniently for our family, and did a fabulous job. The damage was comprehensive - in the crawl space, in the bathroom, walls, flooring.... and their team handled it all. We are so happy with the results! read more

Sloppy painting, sloppy project management, and sloppy subcontractors. You can do better, get some other quotes.

We contacted Tenhulzen in the beginning of December 2020. We called, gave our information and what we were interested in and Riley followed up with us very quickly for an appointment for him to come to our home for a walk through and estimate. Riley came out on December 12th. He was very friendly, wore a mask for the entire visit and was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us a great deal by listening to what we were considering and offered suggestions based on his expertise. The walk through was so great and we were really excited to book with Tenhulzen for our painting and remodel based on this visit. Unfortunately, we would never get to actually book Tenhulzen. Upon leaving, Riley let us know that they should have a full estimate ready for us by midweek to the end of the following week (our walk through was on a Saturday). He did let us know that while he would have his portion of the estimate ready as soon as possible, that the construction side of the estimate might take a little longer because they had several projects they were trying to finish before the holidays and it would be the owner Scott who would be doing that part of the estimate. We said we absolutely understood. He recommended checking back in if we haven't heard in a week or so. By December 21st, we hadn't heard anything so we sent a friendly email asking if they had an idea of when the estimate might be ready. At this point we had estimates from a few other companies but really wanted to work with Tenhulzen. We received a response from the owner Scott the same day that read: "We are working on your quote and expect to have something to send over to you soon. I anticipate, based on how it is shaking out so far, that we are probably going to be around the $50-$70K mark. Trying to wrap it up prior to the holiday for you, however there is a lot we are pushing on to get projects wrapped up for people for their Christmas holiday so please bear with us." We were pretty surprised by this estimate as Riley had given us his best "guestimate" during our walk through and it was nowhere near $50-70k. Even so, we had told Riley about some dreams we had for our home in the future including a bar in the basement so we figured some of those projects might have been included on the estimate. We were really looking forward to getting the breakdown and details so we could get started as soon as possible. Unfortunately, that was it. We never heard from them again! We are so incredibly disappointed because the walk through with Riley was so positive and we really wanted Tenhulzen to do the work on our home. Apparently we weren't worth their time as it is now March 2021 and December 21, 2020 was the last time we ever heard from them. The lack of follow up is so incredibly unprofessional and frustrating. We did not expect this from such a highly rated company. read more

A fallen tree damaged our attic and caused additional significant structural issues. Based on excellent Google and Yelp reviews, I contacted Tenhulzen, and I'm so glad I did. Their expertise and professionalism turned a stressful situation into a positive experience. Throughout the repair and rebuild process, Tenhulzen acted as the central hub, coordinating with a whole team of subcontractors. Roofers, HVAC technicians, gutter specialists - they ensured everyone worked together smoothly and on time. I had to go through insurance for the repair and rebuild, and Tenhulzen's help was invaluable here as well. They helped with the paperwork and communications, providing a detailed list of all the work that was done to the satisfaction of my claims adjustor. Whenever I had a question or concern, the team at Tenhulzen was incredibly responsive and always happy to explain things in detail. Their experience shone through - they had a clear plan for the project and addressed any unexpected issues (for example, the leak in my main bathroom which was only discovered later in the project) calmly and confidently. Their focus on quality and customer service is evident in every detail. Overall, my experience with Tenhulzen was exceptional. They helped me through a major disaster, and I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Very happy with our office painting. I contacted Tenhulzen Painting needing the work done as soon as possible and they could fit me in with just one week wait, they were very accommodating and professional. My office looks refreshed and the work is very clean and all for a reasonable price. read more

Tenhulzen Construction - General Contractors Near Me - Mill Creek, Washington

We recently had a fire in our Mill Creek home that damaged the crown moulding and ceiling area. I called Scott and was he was able to give me a proposal to paint and repair the damaged area. I live out of town and was able to coordinate all this with him via phone and email. His crew showed up on time and did a great job. You can't tell that wall was ever damaged. They even cleaned the soot off the bricks. He is a high-quality painter and his prices reflect that, but the work is outstanding. read more

See all

We had a leak in the garage that actually was from the front bedroom window. We had fought it for a couple of years and finally decided to get it taken care of. Tenhulzen was able to get us in sooner than expected. They removed the window and siding and redid the bump out. When we had a problem with the blinds not working (not their cause), Eric came out and we were able to find and fix it. A shout-out to Joseph who worked, it seemed, without even taking a break. Solid performance for a young man. read more

This is an unusual review as I did not hire Tenhulzen. However, I do think their EXCELLENT customer service and quote process deserves a positive review. I have no doubt their painting would be just as excellent. I contacted Tenhulzen online and heard back the same day from Roland. We scheduled an appointment for the next day and he was by far the most professional individual we met with for quotes. Roland was very thorough, answered my many questions (I've never had a house exterior painted before) and made me feel more at ease with the whole process. The quote arrived on time and very thoroughly explained every aspect of work. The online system was also something we didn't see from anyone else. The pricing was the highest of the three quotes we got but only by a few hundred dollars. The only reason I did not hire Tenhulzen for our job was because of their timing. We would have been scheduled out in July for our job when another company we liked with a very similar quote could do it in May. While timing was not our first priority, in the end it tipped the scales just a bit to the other company. I would absolutely contact Tenhulzen again for a painting job, no question. read more

Needing siding, I asked a carpenter friend for recommendations. Tenhulzen was at the top of his list. So they re-sided our old house, working through difficult window issues, then repainted house and garage. Perfect. Because of their great work, a year later (this spring) we hired them to remodel our entire kitchen, nook, and rear entry hall, refloor the entire main floor, demo some old add-on stuff and install new can lighting throughout the house. And paint the whole interior. The project lead they assigned us, Rodney, worked with us efficiently, even as we expanded the scope of work - even with about 40% more work added on the fly, they finished ahead of schedule. Rodney is a master carpenter, knowledgeable about all aspects of construction, and detail-oriented, as is the owner of the company, Scott, and all the other employees and the trade subs. Rodney worked difficult aspects of remodeling an old house, meshing old with new, with attention, skill, and patience. This is a high quality operation. We just finished, and we couldn't be happier. While no remodel is "fun," they worked with us, and our cats (thanks, Rodney!) to make it as stress free as possible, even while we lived in the house during the major remodel. They were upfront about costs and worked with us to do a remodel we could afford, even as we added on more pieces. They aren't cheap, but the quality of their work is exceptional and so they are a bargain. We will certainly use Tenhulzen for further work, and highly recommend them. They are truly amazing. read more

Tenhulzen Construction - New kitchen by Tenhulzen! Yay! - General Contractors Near Me - Mill Creek, Washington

I've hired Tenhulzen for a number of projects: exterior/interior painting, deck, kitchen counters/cabinets and backsplash, doors. All their work has been outstanding. This most recent experience with exterior painting was also top drawer. They were detail oriented, thorough, and fun to work with. The house wasn't a simple job: sanding, paintbrush finish. As for Scott, he is always responsive with a solutions oriented approach. I can't say enough positives read more

Scott and his company are first class and come with our highest recommendation. Our home had water damage that required repairs to the walls and hardwood floor. It also involved painting, refinishing the whole floor to match the repair area and new floor moulding. It was very apparent during the onsite quote that Tenhulzen was in a different league. We received an honest assessment for the scope of repairs and the discussions were so friendly. We felt immediately at ease and so comfortable in putting our trust with Scott. The repair required us to temporarily leave the house. Tenhulzen's team worked a partial weekend and finished the job ahead of schedule. When we returned home, our house looked so beautiful (even better than before!) and we were very pleased. Tenhulzen does excellent work and provides great customer service. The quality of work and the finished product was top notch and they were very professional throughout the whole process. read more

Scott and team are awesome! We needed some mold cleaned up in our bathroom, and they got our project completed quickly which was much appreciated. Rich was amazing! He kept us informed of any changes to our project, and you can't tell that there was any damage to the house. read more

We contacted Tenhulzen Painting and Construction based on a recommendation from our roofer. On the initial visit Scott showed a good understanding of what we wanted and gave great feedback on our projects. The project manager Richard contacted us about 2 months after we signed to get us scheduled. Once the work started, Richard sent daily email updates with pictures on the work progress. Very pleased with Richard and his crew. Halfway through the job we did have a slight disagreement on the scope of work that was to be done. Scott reached out to clarify their view of what the scope of work was and I responded to clarify my understanding of the scope of work and then asked a number of follow up questions. The next day, Richard sent me an email answering all my questions about the job in progress and provided excellent clarification. Scott then reached out shortly thereafter and agreed to expand the scope of work, but did also take the time to explain why this particular aspect is normally quoted separately. I was very impressed that Scott added to the scope of work above what he had estimated in order to make sure the customer was satisfied. Certainly one of the better experiences I have had with a contractor. The job was completed on time and I was highly satisfied with the end results. Tenhulzen is probably not the lowest bid you will get. We did receive lower bids for the job but decided to go with Tenhulzen based on the roofer's recommendation and our impression of Scott during the initial walkthrough. And we are very glad we did. This is a case where you get what you pay for. They are definitely on my short list for the painting scope of the work as well because I believe that they have an attention to detail that is lacking with contractors that may come in with a lower price. All in all, very impressed with Scott and his team. read more

Don't waste your time calling other places! Hire Tenhulzen Painting! Scott Tenhulzen was prompt in getting back to me, courteous and thorough when he came to do the bid. I had another painter bid the job as well, four rooms--bathroom, bedroom, master bath, master bedroom. I initially went with the other guy because he was a little bit cheaper (within $50 including paint cost) and he was recommended by a friend. Other guy had told me he could do it Wednesday or Thursday of that week. However, by the time I'd bought the paint (which was what the other guy wanted me to do--Tenhulzen provides paint at reasonable cost), the guy said he couldn't do it until the following week, and for a variety of reasons, I wanted it done by the weekend. So I called Scott Tenhulzen back on a Wednesday and asked if he could work me in on Friday. He said they could! But they might have to finish up on Saturday--no problem for me. The crew arrived Friday morning and got to work. Scott came with them to make sure they knew what to do, then his crew supervisor Jorge and two other painters got on the job. They worked fast, kept my house clean, and they were very quiet. In the afternoon, another painter joined them and they finished all four rooms by the end of the day Friday. Their work is excellent. Clean lines (which I could never do on my own) and beautiful coverage. I am so happy with the way my rooms look now, and because they finished by the weekend, I was able to get my dad's help hanging shelving and towel bars in the newly painted rooms. The only thing that was negative was they did break one light fixture in the bathroom. Because the same one wasn't still being sold, I bought a new one, probably more expensive than the one that had broken (but it was the cheapest they had at Lowe's with the same number of lights), and Tenhulzen Painting promptly reimbursed me for 50% of the price. This resolved that matter to my satisfaction--I couldn't expect them to buy the whole $90 fixture when it was nicer than the one that had broken. To review: Worked me in on short notice Took responsiblity for broken fixture Excellent work Excellent price and value Fast--four rooms in one day! Next time we need painting done, I will just book Tenhulzen Painting, and won't bother with other bids. read more

I'm the owner of Eastside Audio Video and we've worked with Tenhulzen Painting on a variety of projects and they've been extremely professional, organized and do a great job with site protection. Over the past couple years working with them, we've found that they do great work and will go out of their way to resolve an issue if something comes up. As a business owner, you hope everything goes perfectly for your client the first time; but when something goes wrong you can tell a lot more about a company and in turn be able to separate the good from the truly great. Tenhulzen Painting rates as truly great in our books as they put customers first and go out of their way to take care of customers especially if something goes wrong. Feel free to contact me directly if you're looking for references. read more

The three guys from Tenhulzen literally left an hour ago, and now that all the touch-up patches have dried, my husband and I could not be happier with the job they did in our front room. Our room, which has a double-high, sloped ceiling, odd architectural insets and outcroppings, and two staircases up to the loft-like overlook from the second floor, required a ton of work by these guys to cut in, tape, pull screws and bolts from the previous owner, and paint the horrid, ugly, 2000-contemporary "fall" yellow color scheme that she thought was so beautiful. Two coats, three colors, one day, and they were out by dinnertime. We can't find a single splatter anywhere on our cherrywood floors (and believe you me, I did look for them). The ceiling cutting is beautiful and straight as it comes -- all done by hand, also, and masterfully so. The three painters Scott sent us were kind and courteous, paid special attention to the prep work required before putting up a new color, and when they left, my husband and I still have only found one, tiny flaw - a drop of blue paint on our banister, which we intend to paint with a new coat of white anyway, so hardly a deal breaker. Scott himself was awesome when he came over to give us a true quote, worked with our budget and made some suggestions that really turned out well. He was willing to negotiate and was very flexible when I changed some of the inset work I wanted done last minute. He talked to us like we were real people, not just a number on an invoice. Best of all, he said, "Whatever the cost, I want to make sure it's done right" when we were talking about the other bids that we'd received. He seemed unconcerned that we were just painting our front room and not an entire office building, and I was surprised by how genuinely human and personable he was. Would I recommend Tenhulzen? Absolutely. Every time. We have another big job in the kitchen and are already talking about potentially having them come back out to tackle the sand-textured mess the previous owner left us. I have never had an easier time working with any company brought in to help us at home. read more

Well so much for all the positive reviews...didn't even send me an estimate and it's almost been a week. Guess they don't need the job that bad. read more

I have called this company three times with no reply. Exterior house paint and some wood replacement needs to be done.I thought it would be a good company to use with all the good reports on their work. My money is the same color as the rest of you guys!!!! read more

I've never ever met a painter or painting company that takes the amount of care on a project than Scott Tenhulzen and his crew. They take so much time prepping and making sure everything is moved , covered, taped off, and set up from the beginning to ensure that the project is a success. The project might take longer to get done than some but do you want it done right or quickly done and half ass? read more

I LOVE Tenhulzen Painting. After working with several painters over the years I am happy to have found Tenhulzen Painting. I have had so many problems with other painters, not putting on 2 coats when changing the color, leaving a big mess behind and even missing whole areas when painting. I found Tenhulzen Painting 3 years ago and they have changed my life. The last job they did for me was painting the interior of my deli Lets Do Lunch in Bellevue. They were clean, professional and timely. I also like the fact that the owner shows up to every job! If you want a job done right the first time they are a must! read more

What a amazing paint company! Scott goes beyond just paint. We are working on selling our house and Scott is providing ways we can get more out of our sale. He is also researching other homes in our area and seeing what we are up against and how we can make our home stand out to future buyers. It doesn't stop there! We will now be taking them on as our Real Estate Agent to help us find our future home that meets our demands and budget. He is very professional and I couldn't ask for a better person to work with. I highly recommend Tenhulzen Painting to anyone, you won't be sorry you made that call. read more

These guys are amazing! My family room was damaged by a cat urinating on the carpet and base board. Its really tough to get pet odors out of woodworking and sub flooring, but they did it. Rodney knew just the right products to use to get rid of the odors permanently so our other pets would not be attracted to those areas. I had the wood working all replaced and the sub floor treated, and then painted the room. The crew was on time, courteous, respectful, and cleaned up daily. The work was meticulous! After that project was completed I had Scott give us a bid for our exterior painting which was completed just last week. I did not like the paint color initially approved by my HOA but Francisco was able to have the paint color adjusted saving me a lot of money and keeping everyone happy. They cleaned up and packed up their equipment daily and did a great job! read more

I called for a bid to paint our home's exterior. Scott was very friendly he took time to answer my general questions about the process of painting our home and even identify potential red flags in the bids I had already collected. I am confident that he approaches his work with integrity and close attention to detail. Due to budget constraints we ultimately hired a different company but I was genuinely impressed by Scott's customer service. Most of the advice he gave me was after we determined our job was not the right fit for his company. I will absolutely tell others to contact him for their painting projects. read more

These guys did a nice (and fast!) job painting accent walls in my apartment. They're pricey, but I had to go with them based on the positive reviews on here. Very nice guys, no complaints on this end. My walls look great. read more

we recently moved to Washington and purchased a home in Kirkland. I did not have 'my connections' and wanted to have renovation work done on my home. A local merchant who installed new wood floors for us recommended Tenhulzen Painting. After a 'not so good' experience with another painter, I was in need of someone who did good quality work. I was not disappointed! This company does great work and are perfectionist! They have now painted my entire interior and this Spring I can't wait to see how the outside looks in a whole new color palette. I could not be more pleased and would recommend them to anyone! read more

Scott and his team are professionalism defined. They are responsive, priced fairly (we obtained several estimates from other companies), stand by their work and are keenly interested in customer satisfaction. Scott was very helpful helping us to finalize decisions on colors and finishes. He has a talent for design that served us well. And their skill sets...we were blown away at how beautiful their job was and how perfectly it was executed. They came back the day after finishing the work to walk through with us to make sure everything was perfect. A couple weeks after we had the interior of our house painted, we had some work done that required making holes in the walls. So, we called Tenhulzen Painting to see if they could patch the walls and paint. Honestly, their work was so good that you can't tell any holes were ever in the walls. The folks that work at Tenhulzen Painting are a pleasure to deal with, very trustworthy, and committed to excellence. We highly recommend them and absolutely plan to use them again for future jobs. read more

I was absolutely thrilled with the job Tenhulzen Painting did with our new wood French doors. The owner even stopped by my house with stain samples when I was having trouble finding enough time to get to the stain store to pick out my shade. The men who came to my house were very professional and SO meticulous. They sanded, stained, sanded, stained, and sanded again before doing multiple coats of a marine-grade finish to protect our beautiful doors. Everyone who comes over comments on how gorgeous my doors are. They aren't the cheapest, but they ARE the best and you get what you pay for and more. They also cleaned up very carefully and checked in with me after the fact to ensure I was satisfied. read more

We have used Tenhulzen Painting several times over the past several years: full exterior painting, bedrooms, main living spaces, intricate wood banister and all the trim in our house. Scott goes above and beyond to make sure the you are satisfied. He and his crew always show up on time, act professionally and never leave a mess. We pay a liitle more when we hire Tenhulzen Painting, but we know that Scott will make sure we are satisfied down to the last detail. Scott makes excellent customer service a priority and we will continue to use Tenhulzen Painting for all our future painting needs. read more
