They really listened to my ideas, offered helpful suggestions, and kept me updated every step of the way.

I would highly recommend Shay to anyone looking for quality remodeling work done right the first time!

We hired Shay at Century Residential for a complete remodel of our kitchen, a complete replacement…read moreof our floors from carpet to hardwood, and lots of miscellaneous touch-ups everywhere else. Shay was straightforward and reasonable with design, budget, and schedule from day one. The best part - Shay and his crew finished our project in just around a month. When we started looking for a contractor, we looked at least a half of a dozen different options. The main difference between Century and the other contractors we considered was that they had pre-fabricated cabinets that were able to be customized to fit our needs, while others needed to spend more time and money to build cabinets from scratch. Having remodeled our previous homes' kitchen to similar cabinets, I can say that the quality was on par with the custom ordered cabinets we ordered before. I was very happy with the trade-off as this made the project move very quickly. Once most of our designs and choices were made, and work started, Shay was always available for feedback, and we were able to tweak any small thing we wanted to change, and correct any small discrepancies in what turned out versus what we expected. There were no huge surprises in our budget, and they were always willing to help pick up an appliance or exchange a light switch. Bottom line, we were able to get the design we wanted, stay within our budget, and get it all done within a month. We highly recommend Shay and Century for any project, large or small.

I've been using Vivian's maid service on a bimonthly basis for several months and would highly…read morerecommend them to anyone looking for housekeeping. From what I've seen, they are definitely one of the most economical options in the Seattle area. Cleaning my ~750 sq ft apartment is only $110+tip. Many other maid services here charge between $140-$200 for a basic cleaning. They also offer various special services and cleaning packages (regular, deep clean, etc) for dirtier homes but even their basic cleaning covers what most people would want on a regular basis. My cleanings are auto scheduled and it's super easy to adjust this schedule or add extra cleanings. My housekeeper has been the same each service, which I think is nice as I completely trust her in my home alone now. She's always been very nice and professional. She's also good with pets; my dog is excited every time she comes over. I've never been disappointed with the job she's done and appreciate all the small touches they do (tucking in sheets, decorative towel folding, shining the sink, etc). I'm especially impressed she's able to get my floors so clean given that they are usually covered in pet hair.

Not only did it cost us double to fix his mess ups to hire someone that knew what they were doing!! He painted our kitchen after him getting others to help because he didn't know how.

We were very naïve on this whole process. Alls I can say look somewhere else if u are in need!

Overall we had a good experience working with HBC for our interior wall removal project. Ken and…read morehis crew worked quickly and kept a very tidy site at the end of each day, which was important for us since we were living in the house during the project.  Early in the renovation Ken identified a structural issue and went over the possible options and costs. Ken really worked hard to find a good solution at a reasonable cost, and in fact he was able to unblock the project really quickly by proposing a hidden beam that would maintain the aesthetics of the original plan. Ken also took on several smaller projects for us which it would have been hard to get a contractor for alone, but he was able to slot them in around the main project in a way that made sense for all of us. It's a family operated business which is nice. All our communications were with Ken or Jennifer directly -- no corporate office giving you the run-around like you might find with some larger contracting organizations.

For those of us not in the construction business ourselves, finding a good, reliable contractor…read morewith integrity can feel a bit daunting. I'm not in a trade, but my dad was so I grew up around it. You wonder if they're going to do a solid job, if they are going to find 'more' issues to tack on to the bill and finally what they are going to charge and if it's competitive and reasonable. Anyone who's gotten multiple bids will quickly learn that bids from different contractors can come back wildly different and it's hard to gauge why unless you are in the business or know and trust the contractor (or whoever recommended them). Rest assured and from my experience, HBC General Contractors are top notch all around. It's my understanding they recently went through an ownership change in the Spring/summer of 2017, and see some of the reviews here are a bit older, so if anyone is concerned about that, don't be. The new crew - Ken and company are fantastic. We had an issue with dry-rot below our back sliding door. We had just purchased the house months earlier, so didn't know how long the issue had been there or how severe the rot was. We also had an ant issue, and know now that it was due to the rot issue, so it was really important to me that we got this taken care of prior to rainy season again. We had a couple contractors come out for bids. What set HBC apart for me was how on top of it they were on communicating, genuinely felt honesty about pricing and breaking down how they arrived at it (including instructing me to buy the door myself so I'd save money), and the degree of care they took in doing the job itself. I know there was no corners cut, because I worked from home the day they came over, and Ken called me over a few times to show me the progress and how/what they were doing to prevent it from happening in the future. They took out the old door, dug out and fixed all dry rotted areas (which went deeper, I saw, than expected), hung new fancier sliding door and sealed it up so good (this to me was above/beyond) I feel very confident I'll never have the same issue at that spot again. My job was relatively small compared to other very large projects that they do (they showed me pics), but I was never made to feel like I was less important or a 'side' thing for them. I'm so glad I found these guys and will continue to use them and recommend them to everyone I know. -Woodinville, WA
