Dec 16, 2020, Hired Mike Howard to repair structural damaged to my home caused by extensive dry rot…read moredamage. This was not a trivial job. The dry rot had compromised a main structural corner beam which supported the second story. The repair would first require building a temporary support to hold up the second story while removing the damaged support beam and replacing all of the dry rot wood. The repair process required first coordinating with a structural engineer to design a repair plan and then with the Snohomish County office to issue a repair permit. Mike was very helpful through the entire process. Mike was confident that he could perform the repair safely and within code without an engineering drawing, but suggested that the drawing would likely be required for the county to issue the permit. I decided to get the engineering drawing and Mike was right. The county flat out said that this repair required an engineering review and drawing. I told Mike I would hire him for the job, but only after I saw and understood what the repair plan entailed. Mike met with the engineer to discuss the repair job and then Mike outlined for me exactly how he would complete the repair. While listening to Mike explain the repair process it was apparent to me that he completely understood the structural design of a home. Having a contractor with this type of experience and knowledge was the only way I would go. Mike was a pleasure to work with. He answered all of my questions with integrity and no BS. I decided to take the 2 days off to watch the work performed. Mike had no issues with this. He discussed the work while it was in process and I always felt comfortable with his decisions and confidence. The work was done in accordance to the engineering drawing and the permit was signed off and closed without any issues. The images show the before and after work, minus the exterior wall board nailed up. I decided to repair the drywall and brickwork myself. Thanks for a wonderful job and experience Mike.

We hired Mike and his team to do 4 bathroom remodels for us. One was a complete reconstruction of…read morea broken crumbling one and three were in current home. Crew was responsive and diligent with all work. Communication was good throughout all projects and we were advised of any cost changes as needed. Very quick to correct or fix anything that came up. All bathrooms are complete and look good. We appreciate the work they put in. We would use them again for any projects needed. Very friendly and knowledgeable crew.

We contacted Chermak when our bathrooms were destroyed during a massive water leak in our home and…read morewe were dealing with a huge insurance claim. We were initially recommended to a few contractors that specialized in restoration from leaks but started to feel uncomfortable with the process and like they were all trying to take advantage of us via the insurance claim. A neighborhood Facebook group pointed us to Chermak with consistent reports of them having great service, but also a fair price and staying on time and on budget. I was quickly connected to Angel the project manager and she was able to come out to our house that week for an inspection. She immediately built trust with us and showed a genuine care for wanting to get us back into our home (we had been out already for 3 months). We trusted our gut and quickly got to work with Angel and Chermak and getting the ball rolling on the scope of work to be done and approved by our insurance company. And to risk the obvious pun here, Angel was an Angel, there's no way this would have gone how it did without her, for all that she manages and does she's very efficient and good at her job and really absorbs a lot of the stress and difficulty that is common to this kind of work. She also was very reasonable with us in not upselling, offering suggestions where things could be easier or money better spent, which helped with our trust. Fast forward to the working starting EARLY (which was a good thing) and not only completing on time but even a week EARLY than what was planned, so exciting for us. Kim from the design team helped us get our plans together for the bathrooms to achieve what we really wanted out of them and set the plans in place. Tyler was our GC for the 8 weeks of restoration and I selfishly don't want to tell everyone how good he is because then everyone will want him. We were concerned about having so many people in our home and around our stuff, but he so quickly made us feel comfortable and was adopted into the family. He also really listened to us and understood our wants, needs and particular requests as the bathrooms were constructed, he knew it was important to us things be done the right way and was willing to take the time to see it through. He's also just an all-around good dude and we miss having him here. I've given many referrals since our job wrapped to other prospective clients for Chermak and we intend to hire them again when it's time to remodel our kitchen. Our job was not without any issues but they were determined to do the right thing and see us be happy with the end result, which is a really great experience in this kind of arrangement. Customer service goes a long way and is often worth paying for and we are so happy with our new bathrooms. Thank you Chermak team!

It's a wonderful company and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I don't plan on having any more remodeling done for some time but if and when I do I'll gladly return to Chermak. I want to specifically mention the team that worked on the place since I'm so happy with the job. AnJanette oversaw things and walked me through the job, Gary did a phenomenal job doing the initial assessment and recon, Jack, Craig, Chris, Carson, and John did the work and painting. I don't know enough about the details to give specifics of who did what, but it was all done really, really well and I am ecstatic about it. If you're looking for a remodel, Chermak knows their stuff and does the job well.

My wife and I recently decided we wanted to install two new doors on our house. Both doors…read morepresented a bit of a challenge: one we wanted to be larger than the existing opening and the second was an external door leading into our basement. Knowing this was going to be a good size job, we got a few quotes before starting the work. Daniel was one of the quotes. While he was not the cheapest, I was impressed with his knowledge and the thoroughness of the estimate. He also gave us a sheet of references and after calling some we picked him for the job. Right away I knew we made the correct choice. He did an excellent job guiding us through the process of picking out the doors and letting us know the type of hardware. When it was time for the work to start he was very communicative as to what he was going to do and when. He also sent me a few photos of the work in progress during the day so I could see what was going on. It was a nice touch. When the job was complete it came in on budget and was well done.

I can't say enough good things about working with Daniel and his team. My husband and I are new…read morehomeowners; our inspection revealed a very small rot problem that we planned to fix as our first project. Well, very small turned out to be not-so-small and we needed a contractor to help. Many of the contractors I contacted never returned my calls or emails. Of those who did, only Daniel asked lots of questions, came out to meet us and see the house, and stayed in contact without aggressively selling to us at every turn. Daniel was a pleasure to work with in every respect. He communicated frequently, was straightforward with us about options and cost and delivered a quick, professional result. He was friendly and respectful even though our little job and house are much smaller than his normal work. We're so thankful that we found a good contractor on our first try and will definitely work with Westbrook Restorations again! (Note: Westbrook Restorations isn't going to be your cheapest option, and it may likely be the most expensive, but it's absolutely worth it).

He was referred to us by an interior designer so our expectations were sky high. We were expecting the HGTV style contractor who does wonders.Jack was exactly that and more. Jack was responsive and fantastic to work with. He came by to look at our house to give us an estimate. He was not hurried, took time to listen and make suggestions. He was easy to schedule and responded to our texts and emails promptly. For the basement, we had him put up drywall, paint the entire room, patch holes in the ceiling left by our electricians while rewiring the house. For the updates, he framed the mirror above our mantle, added shelves to our dining room built ins, got us custom sized closet doors for our bedrooms plus installation, put up mirrors and curtains and the list goes on. Jack finished everything on time. He arrived bright and early everyday, stayed on schedule despite the small additions to the list of stuff we wanted to get done. He left the house perfectly clean and livable every evening. We plan to use him for any painting, carpentry or handyman work in the future. Its really hard to find someone trustworthy to do a perfect job , who is easy to communicate to, has a positive attitude, thoroughly professional and can handle a variety of tasks. He is priced right and gave us solid suggestions. I would wholeheartedly recommend using him for your remodel needs for your peace of mind.

We recently wrapped up on an extensive remodeling project complete with a revised second story…read morebedroom, large balcony, new main level deck, and outdoor kitchen. We could not be happier with the finished product or with the experience we had with McAdams. Everyone we worked with was professional, friendly and helpful. Further, there were no surprises along the way from start to finish with regard to scope of work or expense. Additionally, our project was tricky from a permitting perspective and we decided to do a complete landscaping project in tandem with our remodel. McAdams was willing to work with us and the landscaping company to sync our permits and carry out the work while coordinating project timing. McAdams delivered on all of their promises and their craftsmanship is excellent. At one point, we had something turn out slightly less than perfect and when we brought it to their attention, they completely revised it to make sure it met their standards. Our finished project turned out better than we had hoped. We would not hesitate to recommend McAdams and definitely plan to use them again for future projects.

Have you ever given birth? A remodel, I've learned, is pretty much exactly like that: painful,…read moreinconvenient, messy, takes longer than you think it will, and toward the end you'll find yourself wondering, "Why did I think this was a good idea?" But at the end, man, you have something pretty terrific out of it. My process with McAdams started in June 2017, when I contracted with them to remodel, primarily, my master bathroom in my townhouse. However, they were also repainting the entire interior (including millwork), installing new flooring everywhere, and doing a few other things. The actual building process began in January, 2018 and ended, pretty much, in July. Their work is very high quality. My project lead, Rich, was amazing - very easy to work with. After the build, there have been some minor detail-y things that have required them to come back to fix. Dale, the owner, has been very nice about getting right on these things. One star off for two reasons: they are very expensive. Know that going in. The other reason probably won't impact you. When I contracted with them, they were going through a bit of a staffing turnover. I loved my original project manager and was sad when I learned he was leaving. Because of the turnover, certain things weren't done when they should have been due to communication lapses (permits weren't pulled...). This resulted in my daughter and I spending more time in a hotel than we'd been prepared to do. However, Dale worked with us to reimburse our cost, so that was terrific. And again, my house is gorgeous.
