Beau is the best contractor we have ever worked with - very knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of home renovation, trustworthy, hard working, detail oriented, high-quality results, responsive, and transparent. Beau and his crew were efficient and skilled at their craft. Highly recommend Beau and CK&B Seattle to anyone doing home renovation. Fantastic customer service and high-quality results - worth every penny and the investment we put into our home! We would not use any other contractor for future projects.

Beau is the best contractor we have ever worked with, bar none.  His attention to detail and his…read moreeye for design are both impeccable, and there is nothing we wouldn't trust him with.  He communicated clearly, kept us incredibly well-informed about the scope and timing of the project, and did everything he said he would, completing the project pretty much exactly when he expected to be finished, and on budget.  He gave us great advice throughout the process - including recommending when to order certain items, an impressive feat given the current global supply chain issues - in a way that was completely respectful and never pushy.  Our kitchen is now our favorite room in the house. A bit of background on our project: Beau dragged our kitchen from the 70s - no range vent, Formica countertops that buckled with the slightest pressure, cupboard doors that didn't fully close, to name a few issues - into the modern era.  This was a complete demolition, down to the studs, and rebuild.  Along the way, he removed an old chimney that ran from our basement, through the first floor, and into the attic; upgraded our hot water heater, and most of our old, galvanized plumbing; updated our electrical panel and removed a lot of knob-and-tube wiring; and widened our back door.  He had a clear understanding of what he could and could not do, and, for the latter, he had subcontractors lined up and ready to do the work.  Beau, his crew, and the subcontractors I interacted with, were all extremely pleasant, polite, helpful, and fun.  They were very nice to (and tolerant of) our pets, and did everything they could to make the process as unintrusive as possible.  They went above and beyond in so many ways, it's impossible to remember them all.  At the end of the project, the work was done as expected, was top-notch, and as much as we were glad to have the kitchen back, it was sad to see them go.

My original review is below: We hired Unique Northwest Building for carpentry and drywall work to upgrade the interior design of our home. We installed some wooden slats and installed a new door. It's very rare to find contractors who go above and beyond and Daniel from Unique Northwest was one. We are extremely pleased with Daniel's work (refer to photos). While the photos speak for themselves, for those interested in learning more about our experience, read further. From the get-go, we were very pleased with Daniel's responsiveness. Due to Covid and some logistical issues on our end, our request was conducted via phones and photos. Daniel was prompt, communicative and addressed our concerns. We were concerned about project scope as we couldn't conduct an in home visit (again, due to an issue on our side), however, Daniel had scoped it correctly and there were no last minute bait and switches in pricing, which we appreciate a lot. During the job, Daniel went to great pains to understand the details of our requirements and did a walk through the house to made sure he had got it all right. On the job, he was quick on his feet, yet thorough and precise in his woodwork. When necessary, he went by himself to procure the wood and other materials we needed and ensured he had it all right. If there were any issues he found while doing the woodwork, he would let us know immediately to confirm his proposal, and we mostly deferred to his expertise - which he had in plenty. In three days, he transformed our house from a mediocre place to a gorgeous layout. We had some other minor issues that needed fixing in the house (fixing some plumbing), which Daniel took care quickly as well. He had to come for an extra half day to finish some paint work as it needed time to dry, which he did meticulously again. We are extremely pleased with our result, and all of our friends have loved the new design. I would 100% recommend Unique Northwest Building and Daniel for any of my contracting work and would definitely hire him again. Thank you again Daniel was doing a fantastic job!

I had a specific budget and design (marble white themed) in mind and Daniel was able to meet all these and exceeded our expectations. His communication is very prompt, accurate, complete and he provided insights and recommendations that I appreciate along the way. Our home remodel took over 2 months to complete and he single handedly did most of the work, and only subcontracted the electrician, plumbing, and custom glass shower door. He came to our house on time and worked on the rooms sequentially. He left the work in progress rooms and our house organized and clean all the time. He worked on a few weekends to ensure the project ended on time, and this was also because I added scope along the way. We were very impressed with his professionalism, patience, and his attention to detail, that even there are areas that I didn't plan for him to address, he took the initiative to address it to make the look complete and right. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for the best value and quality work for their home. Many people have who have seen the remodel can't stop complimenting and have been asking for his info for their next home project. I won't be surprised if his schedule gets booked quickly!

It all started out as a simple water-proofing endeavor, as our old, partially finished basement was allowing in rainwater in multiple locations. After interviewing several contractors, we chose Adrian because he recommended the best solution to our problem, not (just) the cheapest. We employed for two starter projects: installing a new external french drain and replacing our foundation (also reviewed on this site). Once these projects completed successfully, we immediately hired Adrian to do a full basement remodel, which is just now wrapping up. We are extremely pleased with the end result. We're actually not quite finished with the project; we still need to install a couple thermostats, which may depend on a future project we have with Adrian. But minor touch-ups aside, the finished project is breathtaking to behold, especially considering what we started with. To call this a remodel is a bit of an understatement. The entire basement was gutted, including removing the 2" slab and digging down ~12-18". We removed the water heater, the furnace, all the old knob-and-tube electrical, and the forced-air ducting. It was replaced with updated plumbing, brand new electrical, and a custom hyrdonic heating solution in the poured concrete floor and also in the basement ceiling, providing radiant heating to the main floor. The basement itself was partitioned into 3 rooms: a main room, an office, and a new bathroom (the bathroom itself will be reviewed separately, but suffice it to say it turned out wonderfully). Beyond the "typical" furring out of the walls, new insulation, new windows, new lighting, etc, he built us a custom L-shaped bench in the corner that also doubles as a storage area, currently holding the kids' toys. I know, right? The other half of the main room is the entertainment space, which now features in-wall speakers, jacks for the subwoofer and coax, and a custom-built shelf with built-in electrical outlets. The office also doubles as a guest room, which includes a closet and a custom built book-shelf which is also a hidden door to the mechanical closet. It's truly a wonder to behold. The trim work throughout is exquisite, and matches the style of our craftsman-style home to a T. If you have an eye for detail, you'll see many ingenious little solutions throughout (e.g., specially-ordered hinges to keep the custom-made door flush to the wall). Adrian was a font of creativity from beginning to end, and the end product shows no small amount of his personality and class. Suffice it to say, the final product is indeed water-proof. It's been ~18 months since Adrian began on the basement, and in that time not one drop of outside water has breached the new walls and floors.

We really appreciated Adrian's knowledge and attention to details! Highly recommend Bogman.read more
