Throughout the entire fence replacement process, he made me feel like a VIP by responding almost instantly to every question and doing everything he could to accommodate my requests. When I first reached out to him for an estimate, he replied right away, came out the same day to take measurements and provided a quote that afternoon. Later when I needed an additional section assessed, he again came the same day and sent an updated quote that evening. His responsiveness and professionalism stood out from the very beginning. During the fence replacement process, he and his team continued to impress. The workmanship was excellent and Mirbek kept me updated throughout the process. Everything felt smooth and completely stress-free. Even after the job was completed and paid for, Mirbek promptly sent his helper the next day at my request to handle a small additional section and I was grateful for how quickly he took care of it. Mirbek has also proven to be trustworthy. When I asked for his advice about replacing the deck boards, he gave me an honest assessment that sanding and staining them was all that was needed Overall, working with Mirbek was a truly pleasant experience with everything feeling easy, smooth, and worry‑free. He delivers excellent work, responds promptly, communicates clearly, charges reasonably and cares about his clients. What else can you ask for? I highly recommend him.

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!

TL;DR: I hired them for a custom loft. During the project we had an argument about a ship ladder,…read moreleading to an early termination of the project. They also didn't follow the design provided before the project leading to failed inspection on permit. Long wall of text below. A few months back, I was looking to build a sleeping loft in our family room. I engaged a structural engineer and architect to design the loft. I then contacted Cody via Thumbtack after researching their portfolio for the project. I've shared the architecture and design multiple times via text and emails and Cody assured me he can build "whatever the architect has designed". I've put down a 12k deposit and kicked start the project. What I've learnt eventually is that Cody and David have a certain way to do decking, and they're reluctant to do stuff outside of what they are used to. At the same time they didn't consult the design doc as they're building. When the project got to the part of building the stair/ladder for the loft, we got into a problem. I wanted to have a stair/ladder that is steeper than the standard (with a slope angle about 50 degree). This was documented clearly in the architecture design that I've shared before the project started. When they cut the stringer neither in the style nor dimension of the design without checking with me, I pointed it out and asked for it to be fixed. In particular the stair landing didn't match with the end of the loft area (photo attached) They asked me to cover the cost of the replacement ($400), I proposed that we split the cost and they got upset with me and said "it's not the proper way to do it". Only when I opened the agreed design that they agreed it can be done in that way. (design photos included) Things halted when we again couldn't agree on the placement of the post for the handrail. I've attached a photo of the placement of the post that they propose. When I pointed out it didn't look like the design, and I couldn't approve the post, their answer was that the design couldn't be done. I suggested another placement. They said it would "look ugly" and "doesn't work that way". This is when I realized that they didn't get that while some of the parts of the design that they didn't particularly care about, it was important to me. Our values simply don't align: Cody and David value their way of building a deck, while I want a custom loft that matches my design. It had gotten to a point that any discussion could turn into an argument and communication was no longer productive. Here are the few things they have commented up until this point: - That the design of the stairs which was done by a structural engineer and an architect is not the proper way to do stairs. - That if they bring this to their friend to build the ladder as in the design, the friend would think "you're crazy" - That they can place a lien on my house if I don't pay them. Mind you this was in the middle of a discussion when the work wasn't even completed yet. - That if I posted a bad review on their website they could just take it down. - That "their time is money too" and if they could go back, they wouldn't do this project for me. Well that would make 2 of us. On top of that, the project was delayed and dragged out for a month to accommodate their other projects. I decided on that day to end the contract without the handrail installed, this is not worth the stress and anxiety from working with Cody and David, not knowing what part of the design they will disagree with me tomorrow and how long this would drag out. I paid them in full without the handrail - the project cost 19.7k in total. I now have a unfinished loft which failed framing inspection so 3k on architecture and permit fees down the gutter.

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.

They provided valuable insight on things our old contractor missed, they communicated clearly and consistently.

I would NOT recommend Michael from Fences NW to do fence work. He quoted a one day job to build a…read morenew fence section, replace an existing section, and replace older boards and re-stain it all! We knew this was not possible, but when questioned, he assured us that he could deliver. He seemed reputable, had great reviews, was close to our home, and he could start right away, which we needed, so we hired him. He showed late up to work on the stated start date, then left as he came without the needed materials to start. He was gone over 2 hours looking for supplies, returned and then realized he didn't get the correct nozzle for the power washer! He was disorganized and unprepared...seemed to be running to Home Depot all the time. This was just one of several examples of poor time management and the job stretched out for 4 actual work days...spread over 2 weeks. The final straw was that he said he couldn't find post caps to put on the new fence posts. He promised he would look for something to match and "come back" to finish the job, but never did so. I paid him his money...MY MISTAKE. My husband called him twice after he failed to put on the post caps within the timeframe he had quoted. He left messages, none of which were returned. Michael later texted me that he wasn't able to find anything close in style and size to the existing caps...BUT, he offered to build them for us @ $35.00 a piece ( for 6 caps!)...REALLY? I ended up going to Lowe's and found comparable ones for $4.00 / piece and finished the posts myself. Also, he did a poor job on the staining, which he charged me an additional $400.00+ to do! I have never posted a poor review on Yelp! before, but I feel like he was out to take us for all he could get! We were very nice to him, even with all the delays, etc. In the end, he talked a good game but didn't deliver.
