It took us a year to make all of our decisions about the scope and details of our project and Jacob patiently, expertly discussed every decision-point with us, over time, via text, phone and several stops out to our house..

All team members were timely and friendly through the process and Jacob followed up to ensure every detail was top notch. The beautiful results are the talk of the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

We had two condo units in our building update windows as well as two back hallway windows, and Jacob provided a highly competitive quote. He was kind and patient when we waited for other unit owners in the building to decide, and did not push us to move quicker or make a decision when we were not yet ready. Ordering windows took a few weeks and teams on install day moved swiftly and kept the area clean after! I also want to note that we live on the 3rd floor of a condo building and many contractors said they could not install and/or needed additional materials, external infrastructure and costs to do the project, but Jacob made it seamless with bringing windows up the stairs, and doing an internal install, which incurred no extra install costs. This was also great as it did not impact our neighbors and kept the project contained and clean. Jacob really cares about being transparent and has earned our trust, and I would 100% recommend him and his team to anyone looking to install new windows in their home. Overall, we really highly recommend Jacobs 1 Construction! I cannot say enough great things about the quality of their work, competitive pricing, and their dedication to their customers.

Roberto, our salesman, was the best by far - listened carefully to OUR questions and answered them all, in contrast to others who delivered a prepackaged sales spiel. He also made himself available at the showroom on short notice so we and our neighbors could see the actual products. NEXT's bid was competitive with the others, so it was a straightforward decision. When installation time came, all the workers were polite and considerate, covering our belongings each day and cleaning up at the end of each workday. We are SUPER HAPPY with the product and quality of workmanship in all respects. When we wrote Next privately about a couple communication/scheduling concerns, they responded promptly and empathically - it's clear they take customer feedback seriously. Thank you NEXT for making this major project a great success!

He not only corrected a long list of poor workmanship, but also did beautiful, high-quality carpentry throughout my home. Daryll framed and installed multiple new windows, built a new front window bump-out to replace an old bay window, and widened the entrance to my living room by several feet--each project done with incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship. Everything feels solid, well thought-out, and professionally executed. Beyond his skills, Daryll is truly a pleasure to work with. He's kind, friendly, honest, and clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing things the right way and making sure his clients are happy. If you're looking for a carpenter you can trust, I highly recommend Daryll. I'm so grateful I found him.

After talking to several window replacement companies, we chose to sign with Gilkey. While not a huge job, we replaced six windows for now and have a few more we'll do in the fall. When the sales rep was here, he told us our windows were all older Gilkey windows and the glass seals were shot on a number of them. He said they were still under warranty and we should contact service to have some measure the glass for replacement. I didn't wait, and they measured within a few days. This morning, the six windows were replaced. My goodness, they did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. Other than the smell of caulk, you would never know they were here. The windows are so much easier to open and close and look great. I'll update this review when the replacement glass on the older windows is installed. I highly recommend Gilkey for replacement windows.

I had a little bit of sticker shock from the first quote so decided this would be worth getting multiple quotes on. And Home Build was one of them due to their stellar Yelp reviews. I called them and they were able to send Oscar out right away. They told me to save 60 -90 min for the consultation, which seemed like a lot of time considering every other company just needed 5-10 min of my time. However, i was willing to invest the time for the right doors and right price. Oscar and i met for over an hour. He was super friendly and knowledgeable about all my door options. He brought along a presentation (via his ipad), as well as materials so we got it all done within that hour. The other companies took a lot less, but resulted in a few trips to my house and lots of back and forth via email. I honestly probably prefer the latter since less time all at once. In the end I went with a different company due to price, but thought this company offered a good product at competitive pricing so would be worth looking into them.

We needed some new windows, and Tony from Olson Windows walked us through the whole process…read morethoroughly. We got to see the windows at their showroom, so we knew what to expect. Tony was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The pricing was comparable to another estimate we received, but we are confident that these windows are better quality and will last longer. They included a fix for a hole in our siding without trying to upsell us for all new siding. We ordered in October and the manufacturer had our windows ready for installation in December. The crew that came out were so friendly and very respectful of our home. Scheduling the installation, painting, cleanup, and finishing touches was a breeze. The winter weather did make it difficult for the crew to clean up nails and debris on the outside, but they did come back when it was warmer to clean up. We look forward to hiring them for other services, possibly roof and siding.

It was a mess. I carefully researched companies that did exterior work. I ultimately chose Olson on the basis of their reputation of doing high-quality work. Shortly thereafter I met with the project manager (Joe H) and he was helped me get the colors and materials picked and ordered and the project was underway. When the install day arrived, I was introduced two a 2-man work crew that would be handling the bulk of the work. In the course slightly more than a week, they totally rebuilt the full exterior of my home. The results are amazing and the home feels new again! Two things really stood out to me and my experience with Olson. 1). The work ethic of that two-man crew. They worked as hard as anyone I have ever seen. Except for lunch, work was non-stop from sunrise to sunset. This was hard and grueling work, especially the demolition of the old siding and stone fascia. They showed up every day like clockwork, and cleaned up after each day. 2). The quality of work they demonstrated. They absolutely knew what they were doing, and they were very good at it. Everything was installed true, level, without gaps, etc. Caulk lines were perfect etc. Everywhere they worked you could see the pride in what they do, and it was very clear there were no shortcuts taken. These two gentlemen were expert craftsman and I can gratefully say my house now reflects that. It turned out more beautiful than I'd ever imagined. I have never nor will ever receive any compensation for this review. My sole motivation for writing is to share the positive experience I had with Olson. Finding a trustworthy company for a project of this size and investment is daunting. Olson, especially their work crew, deserves recognition for a job well done. I can recommend them without hesitation for their quality work and attention to detail. They should be proud of their accomplishments, and I am proud of it too.
