    That ragged edge was where the roofers destroyed our siding.

    Wow! Where to begin with all the issues we had with this company. First off, let me say that the roof "looks" good. Most of the install appears adequate, but looks can be a bit deceiving. In hindsight, I should have paid a little more and gone with the better company. Our roof was over thirty years old and the underlayment made of OSB was beginning to rot in places and was generally spongy all over. We ended up replacing all the OSB underlayment with CDX plywood throughout the roof. Marlon wanted to charge me over $5000 to do that and I eventually negotiated it down to just under $4000. The real problems started with his crew tore out the OSB. We have LP siding and in a very few places it had become brittle or rotted, but most of it was still very solid. At worst, the roofers purposely damaged the siding, at best, they were careless and neglected to treat the siding with any care. During the installation of the new plywood, the roofer hammered on things so hard that things fell off shelves mounted on the walls and pictures ended up crooked. It was like an earthquake struck our house. Entire sections of the siding were damaged along the edge close to the roof. Instead of cutting two inches off the edge of the siding and leaving a gap (per local building codes that they weren't aware of), they tore out the edges while installing the new underlayment and forced flashing under the siding. In all, they damaged about 70 linear feet of the edge of the siding. Now we have to replace the siding, or at the very least, repair 8-9 large sections of it. What made this worse was the response I got from Marlon. He refused to take any responsibility for the damage, saying the siding was bad. I don't think that telling me our siding was bad, which I was fully aware of, gave them license to recklessly damage it. Speaking of license and reckless, that leads to the next issue. Marlon's contract specifically stated many things which they didn't follow. They were supposed to take care of any building permits needed to complete the job. They didn't file for the needed permits. We received a letter from the city the day after they finished with a stop work order. We ended up filing for the permits ourselves. And because Marlon didn't obtain the permit, the building inspector couldn't confirm that the underlayment was properly installed. The inspector did point out a lot of "shiners"--nails that didn't fasten to the rafters and were exposed. This means that the plywood underlayment may not be properly attached with the necessary code-required number of nails. According the building inspector, it also indicates the general subpar workmanship of the roofing job. Marlon's contract said his workers were supposed to be attached to safety anchors while on the roof, but they never installed the anchors until after the job was complete. The roofers wore harnesses the entire time, but were never roped into the non-existent safety anchors. The harnesses were for appearances only. When I mentioned that the building inspector might notice the absence of safety anchors, and that his company could get fined for safety violations, only then did he send someone over right away to install anchors after the fact. His contract also said they would have a port-a-potty for his workers. Like everything else that he cut corners on, Marlon didn't provide one. We saw on our cameras his workers peeing on the side of the house or on the corners of the fence. There were numerous other issues. The building inspector pointed out that kickout flashing to divert water into gutters weren't installed in many of the places where they should be. The gutter screens I had previously installed weren't re-installed properly and in many places just missing. Flashing around the furnace exhaust wasn't installed properly and apparently made up for with lots of sealant. When Marlon came out for the estimate, he said his company was Certainteed certified for the Certainteed roofing materials they were installing. When I contacted Certainteed about the workmanship of our roof, I found out that Certainteed has two levels of certification, a basic and a premium. The premium certification guarantees both the materials and the workmanship. The basic certification only guarantees the materials. MCS has only a basic certification, which is why they have to offer their own warranty for their workmanship, which is meaningless if they go out of business. Don't make the mistake I did. I can't recommend this company. They weren't much cheaper than a reputable company. In fact, the City of Edmonds building inspector told me he has had many complaints and violations regarding MCS Roofing, citing poor workmanship that's not up to code, and failure to obtain permits. He wouldn't recommend them. I think that says it all.

    We just finished a project with Above & Beyond Fencing and would highly recommend them…read more Gus provided the estimate and had several solutions for us to consider for the concerns we had. The bid, while not inexpensive, was thorough and lower than another bid from a competitor who did not offer the same level of upgrades. The contracting and scheduling process was efficient and the team started on time and was courteous to neighbors. The team, led by Abraham, worked incredibly hard and carefully. We have underground electrical and irrigation lines as well plants in full bloom that they navigated with care. Abraham consulted with us whenever there was a choice to be made (ie: slope lines) and we took his advice each time - his recommendations produced a far better product than what we had initially requested. Abraham recommended and changed the orientation of our door so it would be more safe for our family. A true pro who was not just doing the job but ensuring the family behind the gates are better off in the long run. We've received many unsolicited texts from neighbors on the craftsmanship and care of the crew and requests for contact info. We're thrilled with our final product and would absolutely use them again.

From the very beginning, the owner Gus was outstanding. He responded quickly, came out promptly to assess the project, and gave us honest, straightforward advice without any pressure or sales pitch. His quote was competitive, fair, and transparent, which made the decision to move forward incredibly easy. The installation crew, led by Abraham, was just as impressive. They were on time, professional, and extremely pleasant to work with. Throughout the project, they were accommodating with small changes, cleaned up thoroughly after each stage, and truly went above and beyond--even helping remove some small landscaping along the fence line that we hadn't managed to clear ourselves. The final result looks fantastic, feels secure, and gives us great peace of mind for our puppy. We are very happy with the entire experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Above and Beyond to anyone looking for quality work, fair pricing, and genuinely great people. You won't be disappointed!

    Optima did an excellent job on our fence!…read more We received four quotes for our project, and Optima was the most reasonably priced. Elijah walked us through the different cedar and post options, which was very helpful. When our neighbors expressed interest in having part of their fence done as well, Elijah was happy to meet with them promptly to provide a quote. Andreii was extremely communicative and kept us updated throughout the project. They completed our fence (including our neighbor's portion) in just 2.5 days. Our fence required some shrubs to be trimmed, which they handled as well for no extra cost. They did a great job cleaning up afterward. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work and the overall experience. Highly recommend Optima!

    I cannot find enough good words to say about the fantastic job they did on a fence replacement…read more They were conscientious about what we wanted explaining everything they would do and having suggestions for us as well. The estimate included every detail. Work began within days and was finished after two days. The workers were polite and hard working showing great patience with changes made during construction. Nothing was sloppy as even precise cuts were made where needed. Double and single gates included steel posts for extra strength. A baseboard along the entire fence keeps animals from digging under it and holds back ground where it was uneven. On top of all this the price was reasonable and competitive. Optima gets my highest recommendation.

During the process of accepting his bid I changed my mind a few times on some of the details and he was very patient and pleasant about all of my questions and changes. He is very easy to talk to and work with. From our first meeting when Andy came out to do the estimate I was so impressed with his obvious knowledge of deck construction and he explained all of the different aspects of choosing decking materials. We ended up going with Azek decking with Timber Tech composite railing with matching Azek drink rail for the top rail and it is just gorgeous! I couldn't be more pleased with it. After we get our backyard overhauled and in good shape I plan to have them do a new fence. There's no reason to look anywhere else for a deck or fence. Heilman Deck and Fence do a great job and are a pleasure to work with.

    After getting a few quotes for our deck project, Heilman Deck & Fence really stood out. Andy came…read moreby and actually walked me through the whole process -- not just what he'd do, but why he'd do it a certain way. He explained where it made sense to invest a little more and where we could cut back without sacrificing quality. No pushy sales pitch, no checkbox quoting -- just someone who clearly knows his craft and cares about doing the job right. I had done some research ahead of time and knew my existing deck had a structural quirk that would matter during the rebuild -- Andy was the only one of the three contractors who caught it. That made the decision easy. His quote wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but it was fair and came backed with great reviews and a clean WA contractor's license (which, shockingly, not all of them had). That sealed the deal for us. We ended up completely rebuilding two decks using TimberTech PVC -- a smaller 10'x10' one, and a 26'x12' deck that's 20 feet in the air with two staircases and a landing. The whole project took about 3.5 weeks from demo to final touches. Andy's CAD drawings were spot-on. When surprises came up (like discovering the house's floor joists ran in the opposite direction), Andy just handled it -- added a beam, footings, and posts without delay or extra cost. Same deal with a couple small punch list items at the end (a dinged downspout, some siding, trim details). No fuss, no runaround -- his crew just showed up and made it right. The build crew was great to work with -- friendly, respectful, and meticulous. They kept the site clean and were clearly proud of their work. You could see it in the precision of the cuts and the fact that everything was perfectly straight, square, and level. Even the more delicate custom cuts -- like a half rip-cut board to fit under the house -- were nailed with crazy accuracy making it look like the boards extend under the house. Bottom line -- I'd 100% recommend Andy and his team at Heilman to anyone in the Seattle/Eastside area. If I ever need more deck or fence work (though this deck will probably outlive me), I won't even bother getting other quotes. These guys are the real deal.

    We had our garden fence rebuilt by Sky Fence, owned by Jacob Walsh.

We also had specific quality requirements, such as using a post-on-pipe installation to avoid wood rot. After reaching out to Sky Fence and 5 other well-known Seattle companies, only Sky Fence said they could meet our custom design and quality needs. The other companies offered a range of prices for lower-quality fences, while Sky Fence provided a single quote with the highest standards at a competitive price. Using a few sketches we provided, Sky Fence built a beautiful fence that matched our requirements perfectly. Jacob and his team did an amazing job, even installing the fence on top of a concrete wall. Communication throughout the process was smooth, and I couldn't be happier with the work they delivered. Finding skilled people in Seattle is hard, but occasionally you find some amazing people. My only complaint is about the contract. It was hard to read, lacked detail, included stock photos that didn't match our design, and had no itemization--just a final price. It felt like signing a promise to build what we asked for, thereby taking a leap of faith, which made me a bit uneasy. Still, Sky Fence absolutely delivered, and I would hire them again without hesitation. A few before and after photos attached. The reddish stain (Ready seal mahogany) in the photos we applied ourselves. The stain and wood will darken over time.
