Update: We have hired Daniel from UNB for multilpe of our jobs from flooring replacement, painting,…read morewood slat installation, bathroom remodel/tile work; and he consistently delivers amazing quality. My original review is below: We hired Unique Northwest Building for carpentry and drywall work to upgrade the interior design of our home. We installed some wooden slats and installed a new door. It's very rare to find contractors who go above and beyond and Daniel from Unique Northwest was one. We are extremely pleased with Daniel's work (refer to photos). While the photos speak for themselves, for those interested in learning more about our experience, read further. From the get-go, we were very pleased with Daniel's responsiveness. Due to Covid and some logistical issues on our end, our request was conducted via phones and photos. Daniel was prompt, communicative and addressed our concerns. We were concerned about project scope as we couldn't conduct an in home visit (again, due to an issue on our side), however, Daniel had scoped it correctly and there were no last minute bait and switches in pricing, which we appreciate a lot. During the job, Daniel went to great pains to understand the details of our requirements and did a walk through the house to made sure he had got it all right. On the job, he was quick on his feet, yet thorough and precise in his woodwork. When necessary, he went by himself to procure the wood and other materials we needed and ensured he had it all right. If there were any issues he found while doing the woodwork, he would let us know immediately to confirm his proposal, and we mostly deferred to his expertise - which he had in plenty. In three days, he transformed our house from a mediocre place to a gorgeous layout. We had some other minor issues that needed fixing in the house (fixing some plumbing), which Daniel took care quickly as well. He had to come for an extra half day to finish some paint work as it needed time to dry, which he did meticulously again. We are extremely pleased with our result, and all of our friends have loved the new design. I would 100% recommend Unique Northwest Building and Daniel for any of my contracting work and would definitely hire him again. Thank you again Daniel was doing a fantastic job!

I spent over a month canvassing for bids for my home remodel. It was a big project - upgrading…read morethree 1990s style bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and laundry room. I had a specific budget and design (marble white themed) in mind and Daniel was able to meet all these and exceeded our expectations. His communication is very prompt, accurate, complete and he provided insights and recommendations that I appreciate along the way. Our home remodel took over 2 months to complete and he single handedly did most of the work, and only subcontracted the electrician, plumbing, and custom glass shower door. He came to our house on time and worked on the rooms sequentially. He left the work in progress rooms and our house organized and clean all the time. He worked on a few weekends to ensure the project ended on time, and this was also because I added scope along the way. We were very impressed with his professionalism, patience, and his attention to detail, that even there are areas that I didn't plan for him to address, he took the initiative to address it to make the look complete and right. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for the best value and quality work for their home. Many people have who have seen the remodel can't stop complimenting and have been asking for his info for their next home project. I won't be surprised if his schedule gets booked quickly!

Five Star Cabinet Refacing…read more I was referred to Rick at Five Star, from the minute he showed up at my home to discuss my kitchen, I just had a feeling he was who I wanted to do the work. I still had two other company's scheduled to discuss the work, one of them never showed after a few reschedules and the other was hard sell wanting to do a complete make over when I only wanted my Cabinets refaced. But they weren't the reason I chose to go with Five Star, Rick was. From our first meeting he was a genuine gentleman, listened to what I was wanting, gave me a few suggestions, which I am very thankful for and chose to do, but never any pressure sales. He took all the measurements, details and got every thing ordered, that is once I finally made up my mind, which he was very patient with my ever changing decisions. When I met Kelly he too from the beginning was a gentleman, very patient with my never ending questions. He was very meticulous in his work, he took the extra steps to make sure things were done the proper way. He explained what he was doing as he went along, including me in the process of each step. At the end of each day Kelly had the work area all cleaned up and I was able to use my kitchen if I needed. After the prepping and facing was done both Rick and Kelly worked together on installing the cabinet doors and drawers, they knew just what the other one needed working smoothly together. I am very thankful for the referral to Five Star Cabinet Refacing, and grateful to Rick and Kelly for doing an amazing job bringing it all together for my new kitchen which I love how it turned out. I highly recommend Five Star Cabinet Refacing, Rick and Kelly do amazing quality work with integrity. Thanks Rick and Kelly!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We contracted Maltom, Inc to finish the previously unfinished 800 sq ft…read morebasement in our 1920s Seattle home, and could not have been happier with our experience and our new space! We added a bathroom, family room, spare room and laundry room - a large project that included ceiling height, sewer line and structural improvements. Overall we were extremely impressed by Maltom, and would happily recommend them, and are likely to work with them again ourselves! Maltom was quick to bid and within the ballpark of other estimates - but Tom set himself apart from the others by actively noting where he anticipated complexity that others' didn't (ceiling height, stair header, sewer line, etc) and flagging potential risks and solutions. This was indicative of Maltom's ability to build trust through transparency throughout our experience. The project itself was right on time despite juggling multiple permits, contractors, and a few unexpected turns. And throughout we always had a good sense of how it was progressing via Margo's weekly updates which kept us in the loop on progress and the plans for the week ahead. It was also on budget - any overages were attributable to our choices of higher quality fixtures/finishes and some minor work orders. The few minor changes stemming from unscoped work were easy to coordinate and reasonably priced. Tom was attentive to the details and quick to address any minor issues we identified along the way - but more often than not caught them before we could, pointing them out via regular walk throughs. Margo was also extremely patient in helping us source a variety of fixtures/finishes, as well as helping to point out potential design improvements as the project progressed (such as a pony wall + glass enclosure for shower)! These guys check all the boxes!

SIMPLY THE BEST CONTRACTOR OUT THERE. We had worked with…read moreMaltom for a slightly major renovation in our house, which involved building a new loft, relocating the stairs, and adding a new foundation to support the new structure. I couldn't be happier with the work Maltom did for us. Evaluation: during our evaluation, Tom came home to walk through the project in detail with us, and midway he stopped being a contractor but a partner to us in guiding us on what's needed for the project. We truly appreciated many of his recommendations based on his wide experience. Price: cost wise, we found their quote quite reasonable, but most importantly, they stand by their quality of work. The estimate is precise, and change orders are ONLY if we requested something new that wasn't discussed earlier. We were happy we landed on budget precisely to what the original quote was and agreed upon changes and NOT a dollar more. Quality: we had worked with multiple contractors in the past, and sadly (and maybe us) it has always been difficult to work with general contractors, as quality is usually a toss of coins as part of the work is subcontracted out and doesn't always end up fine. But with Maltom, Tom personally is engaged at all stages of projects and ensures any work by a subcontractor is as good as he would have done it himself. Side note: They also take pride in keeping the workplace super clean and neat, and if you drop by mid-project to check in, you won't see any debris/ tools lying out of place. Time: as they say, when you work with a contractor, take the estimated completion time the contractor gives you and double it to usually get the real-time it takes to complete, but with Tom, he already gave us a pretty fast, aggressive completion plan, and despite some minor hiccups with local permits, to our surprise, he actually finished ahead of plan. Lastly, they say when you work with a contractor. Usually, you are lucky if you get at least 2 of 3 things you need on a project if they finish i) on Budget, ii) on time iii) on quality. With Maltom, I am glad to say you get 3 Maltom is the best out there, and you would be glad you worked with them.

His attention to detail really sets him apart from other people I've used for past projects.

They ensured the build site was kept clean throughout. We'll definitely be looking to work with Shannon again after our experience.

Fred-Alex is a perfectionist in a good way. He installed an outdoor TV on the side of my house…read morewhich included electrical, concrete, siding, and precise measurement. My house kept throwing curveballs at Fred-Alex - such as the wall being concrete and hollow - and whereas others may have gone the quicker route Fred-Alex took the time to engineer the best possible solution even if it meant waiting on specialty anchors. The results are incredible. I'll certainly use him again!

Fred did a spectacular job replacing my clunky over the range microwave/hood with a sleek new hood…read more The job turned out to be more complicated than expected because of several issues - some extensive cutting through my cabinets to make room for the new hood, no studs in my wall where they needed to be, a pipe being behind the wall where the screws needed to go, the vent on my new hood not matching the one in my house. I think a lot of people who are less experienced than Fred might have given up or would not have been able to complete the work. Fred is so creative and was able to come up with an elegant solution to each of the problems that came up during the job. He is very communicative and was clear at every step along the way. Because of these issues, the job took longer than expected but Fred made sure that it was completely correctly regardless! Not only that, he went above and beyond. He pointed out that the stop gap on my sink should face towards the sink in case of overflows, and even helped me out to take apart an ice machine bucket that I had been struggling with for weeks due to a stripped screw. I would highly recommend Fred for any job that you have. He is not only creative and experienced at what he does, but is also very friendly, kind, and honest. My job occurred during covid times, and he made sure to wear gloves and a mask as he worked as well. If you have a job, definitely reach out to him! There's almost nothing he cannot do :)

Both projects were completed on schedule, with daily communication regarding any issues that arose. As with any demolition or construction work, unexpected challenges occurred, but the team was proactive in addressing them and transparent about any necessary adjustments to the original estimate. When finalizing the bathroom remodels and the ADU, Jeff demonstrated exceptional attention to detail--often exceeding my own standards. If something did not meet his expectations, he ensured his crew returned to make it right. I have complete trust in Jeff and his team and would not hesitate to recommend or hire them again.
