About the worst news you can receive as a homeowner is that you have failed siding that needs…read morereplacing, because it's not just the siding, it's what is underneath that has to be addressed. Two side of our house needed siding replaced due to construction flaws and water intrusion. We chose SFW Construction based on their Angies List recommendations. The workers were very skilled, they knew exactly what they needed to do, explained everything to us every step of the way. This is painful work for a homeowner: it is slow, noisy, invasive, and very very expensive. It took over three weeks to do two sides of our tall skinny house, and we spent about 10% of the purchase price of the house on the repairs. Painful, as I said. Very happy with the work and the people who did the work. 5 stars for that. I took one star off because they recommended SFW Painting to paint our house, and if you read my review of that company, doubt may creep into your mind as to whether you should do business with SFW. I can say that SFW Construction did a good job, and they were very good people to work with.

During a roof replacement, dry rot was identified in two second-story dormer window sills (~25-30…read moreft up, difficult access). I contacted SFW Company, which sent a representative who proposed accessing the area via the roof using boards already in place from the roofing crew. He and I spoke directly with the roofers and asked them to leave those boards in place for that purpose. I agreed to that plan. The next day, that approach was changed on-site by a supervisor without prior discussion. This raises a basic question: why send someone to evaluate the job who does not have the authority or knowledge to accurately define the work plan and access? Instead, three workers (billed at $125/hour each) spent essentially the entire day setting up two ladders with a plank between them, including fastening into my newly installed shingles. The total came to $3,000 for the day just for the labor, with very limited actual repair work completed (partial shingle removal on one dormer). The company also charges for worker break times, stating in writing that their 2 breaks must be paid by home owner due to "Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)." As a homeowner, I found this unusual--I have not previously been billed for contractor break time. Additionally, while lead paint procedures were initiated (notice on the home entry and paperwork), the containment method discussed was not implemented. Overall, this hourly model--combined with a last-minute change in approach--while lucrative for SFW is not economical for the homeowner and does not incentivize efficiency. Spending a full day on ladder setup with minimal progress was difficult to justify. I discontinued the project after the first day (additional $1781.25 charged to remove the set up!--3 men at $125 per hour ($375 per hour) adds up quickly).

Clarkbuilt is truly an outstanding contractor in every way. They deserve the highest…read morerecommendation. We did a major remodel, which included adding an entry to the house and renovating almost the entire bottom floor of our mid-century daylight basement. The design process was a pleasure: Clarkbuilt's in-house architect understood exactly what we wanted and worked with us to refine it until it was just right. Demolition was handled with great care. The workmanship on every aspect of the project was first rate. Everyone who touched the remodel, whether Clarkbuilt employees or the subs regularly used by them, was a perfectionist. Throughout, it was extremely important to all involved that we were completely satisfied with the work. And if we wanted something changed or modified, it was done cheerfully. Everyone at Clarkbuilt has a can-do attitude. Of particular note is Clarkbuilt's mastery with woodwork. A major part of the project was the creation of a library with built-in bookshelves, a window bench and a nook beneath a stairway. Clarkbuilt managed to realize our vision and make it even better. Their carpenter worked closely with us to adapt the built-ins perfectly to the space, and the result was stunning. In a major remodel, you expect surprises and unwelcome developments. There were none. Everything proceeded smoothly. We especially appreciated the fact that substantial work took place every day. Time was used productively from start to finish. There were no gaps. The budget was adhered to and savings were gained whenever possible. The result was excellent value for the price paid. I cannot imagine another contractor delivering a final product of this quality at this price. Most important to us was the integrity of the owner, Soren Clark, and his employees and subs. These are people who you can trust completely. In sum, if I had another construction project - no matter how large or small - I would go directly to Clarkbuilt and not bother with bids from anyone else. They are the best.

I hired them to do a seismic renovation to bolt my house to foundation (1922 house with a fully finished, carpeted basement). Their bid was in line with most others, and I chose them because I trusted they could put the basement back together again the best. Well, right around when they were finishing up, we had the INSANE 12/7/15 rains in Portland and my basement carpet was soaking etc. Even though it was not technically what I had hired them to do, I called Soren in a panic and he sent over 3 people to get that carpet and rug pad out ASAP (so there wouldnt be mold). Then I went out of town for 2 weeks and he was great about staying in communication and a couple times there were heavy rains was nice enough to send someone over to check on whether there was any further water intrusion. I liked everyone on his team - very trustworthy and hard workers and I never felt uncomfortable being alone in the house with them. Other contractors are hard to get a hold of but Soren is super accessible via text or phone. They finally finished up yesterday (there was a delay due to the water situation and I decided to waterproof the basement) and I was anxious to get on Yelp to give them 5 stars. If I ever need anything done to the house again I will be calling Clarkbuilt.

Had a structural engineer tell me they didn't put a header on. If I hadn't gotten that inspection there could have been serious structural issues in the future. As a result of that inspection I had to undo some of the window casing they put on, which I specifically asked them not to do. The casing was cheap plastic material that they glued on. I had to cut it off with a Dremel. Lastly the wall of the lightwell they put in is already cracking after less than 2 years. I wouldn't trust these guys to fix it even if they offered to.

Now I have a shower that doesn't meet my needs as a disabled person. On the other hand, they showed up reliably and did the main job. Working with contractors in this town has been on the scale of disappointing to a total nightmare. These guys were on the disappointing end. I felt a bit duped and cheated. I have to use the thing they renovated daily and the fact that it's not how I asked them to do it makes it physically difficult for me daily. All this despite paying more than we originally agreed (they added costs midway through, the point at which I had to agree in order to finish the job). I've had to have others come in and correct what they could, but the main problems with the work can't be fixed unless I pay another ten grand to have it all re-done. Initially I was happy to have someone show up reliably and work (that's how sad it is trying to get contractors here) but as time goes on I regret not being more dramatic about my feedback for them along the way, because they didn't listen to me as it was and I basically wasted my extremely limited funds on an incorrect job that I can't afford to fix in my remaining life.
