We hired Steve at Redwood Builders for a small job in realigning our front door - we thought we'd…read moretry that before buying a new front door. Steve was very reasonable in how he charged for the experimentation and improvements. After that we hired him for a larger job, a full move-out of our house, improving trim and walls, paint touch-ups and outlets, etc. He coordinated with us from a distance and everything went very smoothly. We especially appreciated how he worked with our interests in mind, recommending against certain directions that he didn't think would be worth the cost/effort, etc. It became clear throughout the job that we could trust him, and we're also very happy with how the job turned out. A great neighborhood handyman and contractor. Thanks Steve!

We used PNW by Goss for a flip house and were so impressed we went on to hire for garage wall…read morerepair and patio porch on our personal home. Excellent work everytime. He aims to understand what you want and to give you a fair and competitive price. I got such praise on our flip home in Renton by realtors saying it was the best they had seen. Such attention to detail and quality workmanship. He really saved us as we had a fraudulent contractor come in and do so many things wrong and he was able to do a checklist and redo and repair the damage that the former contractor had done. Would definitely recommend and have done so to some friends and neighbors.

After a fire partially ruined our house a couple of years ago we have been working to bring things…read moreback to the way they once were. We've been saving our money to fix our back porch and deck so our family could enjoy it this summer. But we never had that chance. Once we saved up enough, we began looking for contractors that could help us. We found Ryan Goss with Pacific Northwest Woodcrafts and thought we could trust him because of his previous work. Not only that, but we wanted to support a smaller business. We met with Mr. Goss and shared our vision for the project and he seemed eager to help us. He gave us an estimate for $32,000 and asked for 20% down or $6,400. We gave him that plus some, paying him $10,000 up front to get going on the project and could buy the necessary materials. We hired him on June 24th, after only 10 days after hiring him, he reached out to us saying he needed another $10,000 for more materials, but we still didn't see anything delivered. We trusted him and gave him the additional $10,000. Then, the following month, he told us he needed a cash advance to pay for some other bills. He asked us for $1,500, although we were hesitant we understood where he was coming from since our family has owned small businesses. He asked for cash but we document everything via text and signed a receipt. Then he asked for an additional $5,000 for materials for railings. We gave him the money and went to Dunn Lumber to choose a railing. Before we left the store he told us he would buy the materials there that day. However, it turns out he never ordered the materials after I left the store. Instead, he went to Home Depot and got a quote for a more expensive railing that we didn't choose. The railings didn't arrive until three months later and still haven't been installed. After months of back and forth we found out he got a job at an apartment complex, he took all his tools and told us we were no longer his priority. The project is still incomplete, there are unfinished projects and the few projects he did work on are uneven and not the standard he promised us. We've reached out to him multiple times and he claims he's done. He told us it's done and paid for and that we'd have to wait in line. Since hiring him we are out almost $29,000 and our porch and deck are still incomplete. We now have to hire a new contractor and the estimates we receive show that everything will have to be re-done. We are working with an attorney to try and reconcile this, but we want other to know that this business and owner is not someone you want to have work on your house. My family is out several thousand dollars and we don't want anyone else to have to go through this.

I have been benefiting from River Bear Contractors (previously River Bear Handy Services) for over…read more6 years. Our neighborhood has an email list server and Jonathan responded when I needed some repair work on my deck. Ever since then, I have asked Jonathan to do the maintenance needs around my home and property. He is versatile, has a solid work ethic, organized, resourceful, responsive, a creative problem solver, respectful, kind, and honest. Prices are FAIR! His partner is also a great painter and has been painting for over 12 years in the Snohomish County area. The various projects around my place include the following: Drywall patches, installing lights, smoke alarms, and switches, repairing a battery operated chainsaw, connecting a small water pump, installing doors and locks, adding a wood structure and netting to a big garden project, assembling a greenhouse and carport, diagnosing and fixing a water leak, installing a satellite dish, repairing a deck, paint work, cabinet repair, various carpentry projects, and so much more. (sounds like my place is falling apart ) I highly recommend River Bear Contractors, co-owner Jonathan Stier. Give him a call at (360) 562-0292!

The last gutter guy had knocked some nails loose, and my gutter had been "waterfalling" for months. Andrew fixed it carefully, and now it's working perfectly with no more waterfalls.
