Knocking wood did a number of projects for us ranging from minor repairs to remodel work and we were really impressed by the range of projects they can handle. The quality of their work is excellent, communication was great and really we couldn't be happier. Thanks Issac, you've put together a great team and we enjoy and appreciate the changes you've made to our home. read more

I hired Isaac to repair a window leak. They estimated it would cost $1,626.19 if I did the mudding and painting of the sheetrock inside. When Chad came out (not Isaac), he found that the window flashing was incorrectly installed and decided that they didn't need to take off any more boards. So instead of about 15 boards, they replaced 2. He ended up charging me $220.50 less than his estimate because of this. After Chad left, I found two of my garden lights broken where he had done the work. I texted Isaac photos, but he said he didn't have before photos and said Chad didn't break them. This is unlikely, and I was surprised that he didn't just offer to replace or make good in some way considering they were fairly inexpensive. Unfortunately, about two weeks after the repair, the leak reappeared. I contacted Isaac via text and told him the leak had reappeared (after I had finished repairing the drywall, unfortunately). He replied, "The only option is to rip open the wall and leave it open until the spot where the water is coming in can be located. For all I know, there is a hole in the roof, and it is leaking in from there." I felt this reply wasn't an offer to help or do the right thing, especially when he was defensive about my lights being damaged and left it at that. In the intervening two years, I had the roof replaced, but the leak still occurred, so I hired someone else to look at it. They found that where Chad had installed Vycor, water had pooled behind. Fundamentally, the issue was above the two boards they replaced, and they should have checked since that was what the original estimate was for. I texted Isaac my findings and asked for a refund. He was very defensive, saying, "I need to see pictures". I sent him pictures, and he said he had installed the Vycor correctly. He said he didn't remove the siding. I told him he did. He said I didn't authorize removing all the siding. I told him I had a bid from him for replacing all the siding. He said I should have called him. I said I texted him. He said I didn't (I still have the texts). He then told me to have a nice day. At that point, I told him I would leave him this review, and he tried calling me. I chose not to answer and texted him, saying I didn't want to argue on the phone and that he'd had his chance to make things right. read more

Knocking Wood - Fence - Fences & Gates Near Me

Isaac, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and very detail oriented. He bid our custom fence project - which included fabricating an intricate steel gate to match others on the property. His pricing was fair - market competitive. His attention to detail when quoting the project made an impression and we completed the work with Isaac. He completed the project on-time, and even worked in the freezing ice days we had this past week. Hard to find any contractor this dedicated to quality and meeting commitments. We have several other projects we will be doing with his company. You will be impressed with his work. Our project turned out even better than we could have hoped. read more

Knocking Wood - Deck with double picture framing. - Fences & Gates Near Me

Part of my fence was knocked down during a recent storm. Issace was quick to reply and responded to my questions promptly. He was able to get it fixed within a week and I was pleased with his reasonable price and his workmanship. It is truly difficult to find someone nowadays that doesn't over promise and under delivered. I'll be hiring me for other projects in the Spring. read more

Where do I start? This guy seemed to save the day in the beginning. He even offered to carry my balance until my house sold. What ended up happening was he put novice laborers on tasks that took way too long (resulting in padding hours). Half of the plumbing he did had to be redone later, after he walked off the job. Tiles were installed uneven and held in place by props. Not to mention that he was constantly bragging about the thousand dollar ski lessons for his kids, telling me about fights with his wife and full service massage parlors in Renton. There was no contract, that was just as much my fault as it was his. He did get payment when my house sold, via a lien he filed with zero communication. I definitely would not recommend. read more

We contacted several fence builders about our project. Isaac was quick to respond and had a quote for us promptly. We had a smallish project that involved copying a previously installed decorative fence design and carrying the design through several new sections. Isaac and crew took out an old hedge for us and then built the new decorative fence that perfectly fits the spot. The western red cedar that he used was beautiful and still smells great nearly a month after installation. We appreciated his great communication, friendly demeanor, and affordable price. read more
