It seems like this post should start with a joke. Well . . . What happened when the patio heater…read morewas placed too close to a load-bearing wooden beam? I think you know the rest of the story. We burned a hole into our covered patio wooden beam and we weren't sure what to do. We contacted our contractor, and they said contact an engineer. I found Bill's organization online. BSM Engineering - talk about a professional organization. From the moment we started interacting through email correspondence to multiple telephone calls, to a final verdict on what to do next, Bill was the highest degree of professionalism. Throughout the whole thing, Bill guided me in the process and helped me to understand the complexity of the issues. Add a proverbial cherry to the top of this otherwise phenomenally smooth process; and guess what, Bill didn't charge us a thing. He did the whole thing pro bono. Talk about a phenomenal company. The highest degree of professionalism. The best customer service. An incredibly well trained and highly ethical engineer. What more could you want? I can't think of anything better. If you ever need an engineer, and I know this for certain as far as our engineer needs in the future are concerned, go with Bill and BSM Engineering. You will be 100% satisfied.

I do not recommend using this company for several reasons…read more First, they were very slow and not proactive in moving the project forward. I frequently had to follow up to get updates or any progress. Second, Randy initially gave my wife a quote to perform a private road compaction test, and we began moving forward with him based on that price. After two weeks with no progress, I called to check on the status. During that call, Randy doubled the original quote. He explained that the project would require significantly more work than he initially anticipated, including multiple soil compaction tests and a more detailed report. When I asked what the soil compaction testing would involve, he told me they would be using a machine that drives a rod into the ground to measure the force required in several locations. He also stated that the report would need to be much more detailed than originally expected. Because of the sudden increase in price, I became suspicious and asked to be onsite when his technician arrived. When the technician showed up, he simply took photos and dug a small section on the side of the road. There was no soil compaction testing equipment used as described. Three weeks later, I finally received the report, which was only one page long and essentially stated that the road was compacted and capable of supporting a fire truck. After receiving the invoice, I gave Randy an opportunity to adjust the price, since the additional work he described clearly did not occur. Ultimately, I paid the full amount, but based on my experience, I would strongly recommend choosing another company.

We had a full excavation of our basement perimeter to waterproof the exterior. Interior sump pump solutions didn't gel with me at all and I was glad to find a Portland company that didn't want to take the easy option. I really cannot say enough about Byron and his team. They didn't just meet my expectations. That went that little bit further. Good job team and thank you!!! If your looking to have Byron and his team conduct any form of work for you. Please do so with confidence.

This wasn't a pre-fab or generic solution, it feels custom and well thought out. The installation was clean and professional.

This pergola completely transformed our outdoor space and turned an unused area into a functional and inviting gathering spot.

If I could sum up my experience (a complete siding job with James Hardie fiber cement siding) with…read moreA Cut Above Exteriors (ACAE) in one word it would be professional. This is an example of what dealing with any contractor should be. After much research I had decided to install the Hardie siding. I wanted to use a contractor who was familiar with the product and installed to James Hardie criteria and specifications. I went to James Hardie's website and searched for contractors that are designated as Elite Preferred. ACAE popped up and had impeccable reviews. Starting with the sales person, Joe, he thoroughly explained what they would do for me. He was knowledgeable and personable. There was absolutely no pressure whatsoever. The bid was higher than the others but after researching (ACAE) and speaking with Joe, I was convinced they were the company for me. In this case, you really get what you pay for. I was introduced to Josh, the Project Manager. Once again, very knowledgeable and personable. Very easy to work with and communicated with me on a daily basis. When problems cropped up, he was always there to offer suggestions on how to proceed. His crew, led by Nikolay with Rosty and Eugene, did amazing work. The workmanship is impeccable; the crew was very organized and professional. They always made the worksite safe and clean; leaving everything spotless when they left at the end of the day. I can't emphasize enough the quality of their work. It was just beautiful. The paint crew, led by Vladimir, once again did unbelievable work; totally transforming the appearance of an already exquisite job. Although color decisions were ultimately mine, Vladimir was always willing to offer a suggestion as to which color to use on a particular area. (I had selected four colors for the primary on the house, secondary for the house, trim and the doors.) These individuals collectively transformed my house (a basic ranch) into a home that I am proud to show off. In summation, I would highly recommend A Cut Above Exteriors if you want premium quality work on your home. You can probably get a siding job done cheaper but I truly believe you get what you pay for. There is nothing I can say negatively about the experience from the initial walk around with Joe, the actual installation with Josh, Nikolay, Rosty and Eugene and finally the painting with Vladimir and his crew. I would absolutely use ACAE again.
