JBC did a full kitchen remodel for us. We tore down a wall and extended our tiny galley kitchen…read moreinto a rarely used "sitting room." Their work and that of their subcontractors was all high quality. Our foreman Gary was a pleasure to work with. He would not accept any shortcuts and wanted to ensure we were happy with everything. We are loving our new kitchen!

The first thing Tom told me when he came over for the first day of work was: "How did you find…read morethese guys? They can't find new customers and all their existing customers aged out/died". We probably should have ran at this point. We had a quote from Johnson Brothers Construction to rebuild our shower that had a leaking drain. Their quote was very competitive ($10k + tax) and they seemed knowledgable enough, so we went with them, aware that things might go over the quoted amount given that every projects has unknown. We did have some unforeseen things happen, requiring an extra day of labor to strengthen the floor and some weirdness about the existing drain setup that was taken care of by a plumber in an hour. Yet, here we are, two months later with a total bill that is well over twice the quoted amount, a tiling job that is sub-par and a lot of finishing touches are still missing. When you hire a general contractor, you expect them to guarantee some level of quality and to advocate on your behalf with subcontractors. In our case, the tiling subcontractor not only did a horrible job, but also tried to increase the cost for some work we already sign-off on and way over ordered one of the types of tiles (that we had to pay for). In the end the subcontractor fixed as much as they could short of redoing the whole floor, but we were the one fighting for it and inspecting the work. JBC just stood by. JBC also had two subcontractor give us quote for some drywall for a transition strip. Their interfacing between these subcontractors is essentially a series of screenshots of iMessage conversations they have with those subs. I made it clear to the drywall sub that I wanted quotes for the different parts of the job. He gives us one opaque quote with possibly an extra $100 (??). The transition strip sub, what we hear is that he'll come by by the end of next week. Saturday comes and he is no where to be found. JBC gave no updates along the way. I could also talk about their opaque billing practices, how they're charging for labor hours that don't seem to line up with what I can see on my front door camera. Or how they have 3 guys show up for the same amount of time and yet one of them is charging for an extra half hour? Honestly I could go on and on. We definitely regret going with JBC for our job. I should have heeded my gut feeling when Tom said what he did. You definitely should.

We love that we have found our go-to contractors in Seattle. After working with the Get Happy team…read moreto purchase our home in 2022, we were excited to hear they were starting to get into contracting work. 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!

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.
