We hired Jon B. Construction, owned by on Beecham, for our project of remodeling two bathrooms…read moreafter finding him on Angie's List and getting a positive response from the reference he gave us. We hired him because he told us that he always did things right and because he charges just for hours of work and did not add a contractor's fee. He also told us he would be on site every day. Only the amount charged turned out to be true. The guest bathroom was finished fairly quickly. When Jon was finished in the primary bathroom, we were excited that this project was almost done. This turned out to not be the case. Jon had to fix the drywall and re-texture the walls due to inferior work. This did not play out very well and delayed our being done with the primary bathroom by a couple weeks. When we finally thought we were done, we discovered that Jon had cut corners, done substandard work and that he had not spent the time to get it done right. The work he did was sloppy and hurried and caused a lot of rework and extra cleaning up. Definitely work not to the standards Jon had promised us. Additionally, he or his helper cracked the vanity top in the primary bathroom which meant we had to replace the vanity top, backsplash and sinks. The replacement vanity top is much inferior to the original but was all we could afford. A plumber had to be hired to unhook the plumbing so the damaged vanity top could be removed and then re-hookup the plumbing after the new vanity was installed. Replacement of the vanity top increased the cost of the project 25%!. Looking back, we realized that Jon spent more than twice the time in the smaller guest bathroom than in the primary bathroom which is a much larger space. He cut corners so he could finish on time. And the last week he was gone most of that time, leaving his inexperienced helper to finish the work. We would never hire him again and we would never recommend hiring Jon Beechan of Jon B. Construction to anyone.

Excellent work. Jon B is super friendly, easy to work with, and "gets" what it is we need and want…read more Back stairs were designed and constructed to fit awkward space from sliding glass door to ground and garage door. Also, several siding boards replaced, window calking done, and new shower drain installed. We are thrilled with his execution of the stairs which look very artistic and fit in with the setting. We would rehire him instantly. We actually had him do a deck and front door canopy in 2016 which everyone continues to admire. A fabulous contractor !!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Travis, Jason and crew from Woodcrafters on a kitchen/main…read morefloor remodel of our mid-century home. We talked with other companies, but ultimately chose Woodcrafters as there was an immediate level of comfort and communication style that put us at ease. I appreciated the time Travis spent up front really understanding what the project entailed, as well as the time spent educating us on common issues that tend to arise, and how we might address those. Once the project started, having the weekly meetings was really helpful and the ability to access their online project management tool allowed me to track progress, document decisions, view timelines and budget, etc. We were really happy with the quality of work. One of the main features of our project was replacing an outdated pony wall with a decorative, wood partition wall that fit the era of the house. Based on a photo, they were able to design and construct a beautiful wall that has become a focal point. The crew was friendly, considerate (as we were living in the basement during remodel) and responsive. Overall, really happy with Woodcrafters and looking forward to using them when we tackle the basement!

I first met Travis when I was doing landscaping work and needed a small project done by a…read morecarpenter. That was over 8 years ago. I was so impressed with his work and his thoroughness and knowledge, not to mention is extremely professional demeanor, that I hired him to do some major repairs on my home over the years. On one occasion, in order to reconstruct a dry-rotted balcony deck, he and his crew had to tear up the ceiling in the living to replace the beams. I trust him to the extent that last year when I was in Europe, he managed to complete several small repairs on the house. He kept in touch and updated me about the projects and when I returned, everything was perfect. I have recommended Travis to all of my friends who need work done on their homes.

I got Brad's name from a Google search. I have been so happy with him and his work. His son, Zac,…read moreassists and both have been a pleasure to be around. We had water damage from a downspout leak and ended up replacing everything and adding on projects because we were pleased. Brad does stuff other contractors do not. He stayed to the end of the project and was not at other worksites at the same time. He was able to get to my job quickly which helped us put my mother's house up on the market right away. He works steadily while he is there and takes pride in doing things neatly and correctly. Lastly, Brad sticks to his prices and estimates well. How many times have I gotten an estimate and the price triples? Not here. I was working on the yard while they fixed the house and miss the good that comes from being around honest work. I trust him.

Specialty Finish is the epitome of an honest business that gives timely and great advice…read more My front door started coming away from the frame, to the point I could no longer open it. Not knowing what the problem was exactly, I needed a carpenter. So, I googled Carpenters in the Seattle area and came up with this web site, Carpenters.Networx.com/Carpenters, which had a listing for Specialty Finish. During this past holiday weekend, in the evening, I sent an email to this business stating my need to get a door repaired. Within five minutes after sending the email, I received a phone call from Bob of Specialty Finish. He told me that, yes, he could come fix my door, but he wouldn't feel right about it because it would mean charging a couple hours labor for something as simple as replacing the existing screws with bigger screws. And this is something he said I could easily do myself. While Bob was on the phone with me, he had me unscrew one of the existing door screws, to confirm his suspicion they were woefully small and not up to the job. He was right, the screws for this big heavy door were less than 1/2" long. Side note to the Mercer Island-based builder of my home, what were you thinking? Anyways, Bob recommended 2" screws. I found screws meeting this specification in an IKEA repair kit we already had in the hall closet. It was an easy job to replace the screws and fix the door. Total repair cost: $0.00 Can't beat that. Many thanks to Bob and Specialty Finish.

We bought an older home that was basically falling apart and rebuilt it from top to bottom. It was…read morethose final niggling details that were the most frustrating - especially the banister and handrail for the stairs. Between factory problems with the materials and the challenges of an old home where nothing is level or plumb anymore, everything seemed to take longer than expected. We hired Specialty Finish to do the banister and the owner came out and gave a fair quote and did the work himself. He did a fantastic job. He was clean, professional, on time and the work was truly that of a craftsman. It looks fantastic. If we ever recover from this renovation, we will definitely call Specialty Finish to help us do more work!

The roof had…read morebeen modified by the previous owner and had some questionable ridges protruding from the chimney. AVE removed the roof, reformed the ridgeline, replaced all of the old particle board with durable plywood, and it is so beautiful now. A complete transformation. We had them install cedar shake shingles in our eaves as well. The work was amazing, the price was incredible and the people were wonderful. It was literally the best contracting experience I have ever had. I highly recommend them for any of your home projects, you will not be disappointed!

My kitchen sink was removed by a remediation company who subsequently damaged it, at a later date AVE disposed of the sink with the garbage disposal attached, then claimed it wasn't their fault and are refusing to replace it. All in all, they have taken more than two years to do a job that should have taken four months maximum.

However, he is still not finishing up the kitchen floor, the bathroom remodel and I have every right to say beware. I have texts of his requesting me to refer him to Momentum and that he is indeed same person switching licenses. so here is your referral Ben. Please respond to BBB. Both companies/contracts/ agreements. Be careful here people. He is a bit on the unstable side. Do not pay him until the full job and codes are done. Wonder why he demands cash?
