They bring professionalism, honesty and deep expertise to every job. They treat every job and customer with respect. They care about the details many people are unlikely to see.

We have referred them to a number of our customers who have always been thrilled with their work.

I have worked with Jeff in both large scale and more modest remodeling projects. Though he is at the top of his craft, you won't detect ego. Instead he is an honest, straightforward, caring man. The entire company actually has these values and it makes a big difference. I refer business to Olson and Jones regularly because I know my clients will have a good experience - and that the intended design will be executed. Jeff has a wealth of information in building and remodeling - and my projects are better because of his expertise.

I'm a remodeling contractor myself, so I don't give this kind of praise lightly -- but Matt Ziebart…read moreof Ziebart Construction in Lake Oswego, OR has earned it. Over the years, I've gotten to know Matt and have seen firsthand how he operates his company. His reputation for honesty, integrity, and craftsmanship is well deserved. He builds strong relationships with his trade partners, treats his employees with genuine respect, and holds everyone to a high professional standard. In an industry where cutting corners is all too common, Matt does the opposite -- he sets the bar. His jobs are well-managed, communication is clear, and the end results speak for themselves. If you're in the Portland or Lake Oswego area and want a remodeling contractor who combines skill, transparency, and great leadership, I'd highly recommend Ziebart Construction.

Hired this company as part of a state home modification so unfortunately could not fire them part…read moreway through. $22,000 for ceiling removal with asbestos abatement, sound dampening and a new soffit. It was weeks of trying to avoid doing contractual work, add fees, calling me names, hanging up the phone on me before the first crew finally walked off of the job in front of the company owner. No apology provided to me, but after significant negotiation they did agree to hire a subcontractor to fix their work. Unfortunately this meant that they sanded their texture work and did not seal the ductwork first and refused to put up plastic in the doorway. I had to put up plastic and then spent 30 hours cleaning my home once I figured out what the air quality issue was. I have a disability and am prone to respiratory infections which is what I was diagnosed with following this event. The new crew told me that the soffit the previous crew built was too crooked to fix but I wouldn't notice it. They decided that they completed the project and the problem was the ductwork underneath the soffit. They want thousands more to replace my ductwork and build a new soffit. I cannot find their electrical license online although they did electrical work. The light fixture they installed will not turn off and they will not hire an electrician to fix their work. This was supposed to be a home modification project to help my disabled son--a fact that they have had no regard for throughout the project.

Zach was very approachable and responded to all concerns that I had, and he discovered what had caused the leak in the window and repaired it. It turned out to be a bigger project as it turns out the wood had water damage, but he replaced and repaired what needed. Zach's pricing was very fair and reasonable and he made sure to explain everything he was doing which took away my anxiety about the whole thing. What I appreciated most was Zach's work ethic. He had a positive attitude during the project, showed up and put his work in each day, and I could really tell he genuinely cares about the project he was working on. If I need future repairs, Zach from Mountain Home Construction will be the first person I call.

I really recommend Zach and his team if you want to work with someone honest, hardworking with high ethical values.

We had purchased the house while still living in Austin, TX, and needed a contractor we could trust and work well with from a distance. Ashley and his team provided clear, realistic, and detailed estimates, and communicated well with us about what we wanted from our dream home. They updated both of our bathrooms, raised the ceiling in our kitchen, and updated the lighting and wiring through the house to add smart home features. We also threw a huge curveball at them during the planning phase of the project: we needed to add an elevator. They handled this new requirement with ease and delivered a home we are delighted with.

These projects included some decorative fencing outdoors and updating to Quartz countertops, new wood flooring, new tile backsplash, new sink and faucet, and conversion to natural gas stove in my kitchen/family room. The work was done with utmost skill and care, and I genuinely appreciated their input when decisions had to be made about the finishes. I think one thing that makes them standout above their competition is the excellent communication with their customers about expectations, timelines, and daily work schedule. I highly recommend this group of experts to handle any remodeling or construction project.

The Assistant Carpenter was also extremely conscientious when it came to dismantling the windows, frames, and wood work. Jorge was replaced by Sergey to do cutting for the final three days of construction and finish work. The final product was worth every minute. All of the joints were airtight. Each miter cut was exact. John is a cabinet maker and it is evident every time I look at my new windows. They were able to maintain the visual harmony of design that you find in some of your nicer 100 plus year old Craftsman houses. They came to us with glowing references from acquaintances and surpassed what were already high expectations. Thank you, James, John, Jorge, and Sergey. We will call you for our next project.

I really loved the online dashboard with daily updates and pictures of the work completed. I felt confident that I always knew what was being accomplished. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next project!

I do not have another yelp account. Take that lie down. I am not conspiring with anyone in firing…read moreyou. By what illegal means do you justify this accusation? We gave you lots of chances to fix the many problems we already paid for, instead you gaslit me and pretended you couldn't see the lack of drywall mud or crooked walls, or skylights you ordered in too large a size with crooked wells. You pretended all that was normal. You proceeded to have the workers put up crown so you could charge, nevermind the problems with the walls. No contractor puts up crown mounding before finishing ceiling drywall! Stop lying about your work or I will post the truth: You have a long list of felony and criminal convictions. Shall I go into details with these facts? Is this why you sent erratic and angry emails at all hours of the night? Your demands for immediate payments and accusations of conspiracy are unprofessional and purely lies. The photos of my home show your awful work. Shall I post updated photos of your drywall several months later with even more visible seams and cracks? Your unsupervised workers created crooked wobbly walls in our den and bathroom. I understand you don't believe me because you weren't there to see or check their work. But every contractor and sub that has looked to help us has said the same thing, shoddy poor work. Both these rooms were taken down to the studs. Your men rebuilt the walls crooked, even the corners. How can you say you would have fixed that if we didn't fire you?? You said they looked good to you! Fix the drywall with what, a little spackle again or mud here and there, like the spackle smears your man did to hide the the damaged doors?? Then apply a little paint over the tape again? The drywall seams are pulling and curling, even worse now than when I took these pictures months ago. It needs to be redone. Stop pretending you know how to do the work. Our drywall is NOT level 4, which is what we paid for. You pretended the drywall was done. Pay me now you demanded. You pretended your workers applied 2 coats of paint. Pay me now you demanded. But everyone that sees our house is shocked that you claim it has level 4 drywall or adequate paint. The truth is you ran out of money and couldn't do the work properly. Every area your workers entered was damaged. I have the photos and video to prove it. Demanding payment immediately, so we paid but there are NOT 2 coats of paint. You damaged our wood floors by demoing without protecting them, then blamed us for the damage. Shall I post the proof of this?? You accused us of mopping and damaging a floor. You damaged one of a kind solid wood doors with tools, smearing SPACKLE to hide the dings your "unequipped" worker made (your adjective not mine). You let the "unequipped" one paint the ceiling without any hallway wall protection letting paint go down the walls. You damaged the downstairs hallway, millwork, and then blamed us for it. Your workers smeared paint down the walls and over doors. Next time show up and supervise your workers. Do not come to a homeowners house at 7am demanding an unannounced walk thru and yelling at them in front of their small children like you did to us because we have to go to work. And stop writing threatening emails, texts demands for payments at 4am. I suggest you take responsibility for the harm you have caused our family by damaging our property. If you do not remove the lies in your response to my review, I will consider further appropriate legal action.

He gets the required permits for projects and is upfront about where there may be issues that are not readily apparent.
