Before I start my review, I must provide a back story. We are an active duty military family, with…read morea custom built home in Anacortes, WA. We currently live overseas. I have had an issue of water leak at one of my doors that has been an issue ever since the house was built due to improper installation. Back in 2015 (when the house was complete) the first rainy season came, and a ton of water came into the house. Unfortunately I was not living in the home at the time, it was rented. We had already moved out of state. I knew of the issue- and visited it every single year, off and on. I did have a couple contractors look at the problem and quoted literally thousands of dollars and explained the issue to be a long drawn complicated one. Being military, with a crazy schedule, and then due to the $$$ we never finalized repair. Intimidated by committing to a contractor due to money and then not having the time to do research just made this an ongoing issue. Every rainy season, water would come in, creating some significant damage. Finally, round 5 here we go...I randomly decided to pursue this again, with absolutely no hope that anything would materialize. Within 7 days of contacting James at ACME, issue is 100000% resolved. Cost? 1/8th of what others were quoting, the issue? Not complicated he made it seem simple. He responded to my inquiry SO quickly, so efficiently. He made the time to go out to the home immediately for an inspection and when I asked him when he planned on going out, he said he already completed majority of the work and just needed to go in for some final touches. It's beyond quality of work or work ethic, it's beyond an honest contractor who quoted a price that I could not refuse and with a keen eye inspected other issues that needed to be addressed, it's beyond all that. It's about finding someone that respects your time. I am only in the US for a few more days, and I expressed to him that before I left we could even get to the point of him making an appt. with my tenants and going out to the home, I would be so happy. (Most contractors in the area would either cancel their appt, or provide too long of a lead time- weeks). He completed the job before I thought possible, beyond expectations, for that I am SO grateful. Being active duty- it's always important to find someone that is trust worthy, reliable, self-motivated, and values your time. I will certainly be a return customer. PLEASE do not look anywhere else, if you happen to come across this business contact him, you will not be disappointed. Last note- he honors the military and gives an excellent discount! THANK YOU JAMES.

The General Plumbing Company should be at the top of the list when searching for a reputable person…read moreto handle any plumbing needs you have. It took me awhile to find Roy, aka Matthew, but when I did I hit the jackpot. He helped me over the phone one afternoon while he was working, then again at night by text when I hadn't expected to hear back until the following day or who knows... perhaps never. With his help I bought a clamp but he was concerned about the photo I sent fearing with good reason the clamp would only be a temporary fix. So he came the next afternoon, put the clamp on and then crawled under the house to ascertain the extent of my problem. When he emerged he told me exactly what needed to be done and that he would return to fix it as soon as his schedule allowed. He returned six days later and did exactly as he described in record time! Then he even put all the dirt back into the enormous hole. Matthew, aka Roy, is an honest, reliable and reasonably priced plumber and to top it off, he's an all around great guy!!! I am a seventy-nine year old gal who has never in my life been treated so well by any person I have ever hired. Thank you Matthew! May your kindness return to you a thousand times!!!

He is adamant about keeping his work area clean and orderly and, as such, runs a tight ship. His guys are personable (love Corey!!!) and respectful and I would highly recommend this crew for jobs large and not so large. He has done work for me personally (remodel, siding, finish work) and has done the TI for THREE of my eye clinics. You are getting honest, hardworking, quality people when you go with Carreon Builders.

We gained 40" in width, and we now have a spectacular view of the Guemes Channel! Rene Carreon and his crew did an excellent job from start to finish. They thoroughly protected our home and floor during the construction process, and their clean-up after was amazing. The best part was their meticulous finish work, framing the window exactly like the others in our home, and the flawless painting of the trim and wall. Rene also did a wonderful job of staying in touch throughout the process. Thank you, Rene, for the five-star job!

We had…read moretaken a very long time to choose all aspects of these rooms and once we were ready to go Milt helped us meet the challenge. We changed an old tub for a wonderful upgrade, expanded the shower area, with high-end glass, added excellent tile work throughout (he has a great tile guy), changed counter-tops, and even moved a wall of 50 year old cedar panels to extend an existing wall. Were there hiccups along the way, sure. But now, several years later we are thrilled to use these rooms every day. We work at home and the lifestyle enhancement has been profound. Truth be told we did a good deal of research before and chose well with our components and visual choices. The paint work was superb (he has a great paint team too). The team had an amusing cast of characters and I enjoyed them. They took tremendous care to keep the spaces (bedroom next to the bath) absolutely clean and protected. It took a while with delays and fixes but now all I can say is we really appreciate all the effort that went in and Milt's good spirit to get it right. If you want a successful project like we experienced i'd say you might need to be an engaged partner in the process, that's what I did and the results speak for themselves.

He arrived as scheduled to evaluate, measure and prepare the estimate, and he brought samples of his work. He also made several excellent recommendations for enhancing safety and appearance. His estimate was quite reasonable for this type of custom fabrication and installation. We accepted and he arrived to begin work as agreed. After meticously fitting and tack welding, he took the rails back to his shop for finish welding, then out for powder coating. During this time he kept us informed of the status, and delivered and installed the rails when promised. The quality of his finished product and the installation far exceeded our highest expectations and Grant was personable, professional and very pleasant to work with.
