“In 2004 we began an adventure with Timberland Homes in Auburn. Our salesperson was Don Shelton. We wanted to replace a 65 year old family cabin on Whidbey Island. Don and the design team help us decide on features and kept reminding us that the plans we had chosen were changeable and flexible. They welcomed us whenever we showed up to check out the progress on our home, answered our questions and held our hands when needed. We were so happy with the home, we retired 5 years earlier than planned to live in it full time! We also contacted Timberland again in 2011 to have a second, smaller home built for my husband's 98 year old mother, on property adjacent to ours. Another great experience from beginning to setting the house on the foundation! We would recommend them highly without reservation to anyone.”

“I worked with Ben and his company on my rooftop deck. The project was amazing, from the first blueprint, to the planning and the execution of the build out, Ben is exceptionally talented. We have since done a couple more phases (additional lighting and back side of the deck build out), I don't have anybody come up on my rooftop without being blown away. I highly recommend London-i.”

“As a sub-contractor for Neu Construction, Inc. we appreciate the process of a remodeling project. Once the schedule is set the process stays pretty much on schedule. There are rarely any change orders because all decisions have been made prior to starting a project. Also prompt payment is very much appreciated. We have worked for Neu Construction, Inc. for over 15 years. One of our better contractors.”

“Dan updated the whole house including replacing the kitchen cabinets. It was a big improvement. I hired him again to completely remodel a lake house. He's a hard worker with great taste in remodeling ideas.”

“Our project is the Columbia City remodel. Maltom, Inc. is highly recommended. They are a design/build firm, but we had most of our design work already done and they were able to bring the design to reality. Tom Lakomski is the owner and he has done a wonderful job managing the project, keeping to an aggressive schedule, working within our budget, and communicating with us on almost a daily basis. The project permitting got started in early February (2015), we moved out in March, and we moved back in early August. The team and sub-contractors were timely, professional, clean, and the work is impeccable. Remodeling is a daunting experience, and there were countless decisions to make and materials and labor are so expensive. But Tom was an incredible resource, understanding our budget and working with us to build a sleek, modern (transitional style), high quality house that we will be able to enjoy for decades to come. We would highly recommend Maltom with no reservations, and you can expect to get high quality work within your budget with clear communication and adherence to schedule. I will note that my husband and I have been extremely organized and very focused and clear about our design, scope, and budget - and this style has worked very well with Maltom. We have had only a few change orders (Cat 6 in the house instead of cat 5/canned lights in basement/nest thermometer/tile shower in guest bath instead of tub). Although our contract specifies a 12% change order fee, Tom had told us that the fee would be waived if the changes were discussed in advance and did not impact schedule or cause major changes etc. We have found that to be the case for all of our change orders (that the fee was waived). At the beginning of the project, Tom created a shared google calendar with us for all of the stages (permitting/demo/foundation/electrical/HVAC etc.), and also gave us written weekly progress reports and an ongoing task list. Tom understands that we are building our dream house, and often had suggestions about not only the infrastructure, but material finishes, fixtures, and modern design ideas. For example, one week he asked us how we wanted the front of the house to look (we are doing hardie board siding), and suggested that in the gable area people often add a contrasting shingle or shake to add interest. We ended up going with cedar shakes due to his suggestion, but truthfully we would not have even thought about it until all the hardie board was up. Just one example out of many that we have worked through - since we have not been working with an architect, his suggestions and advice have been invaluable. We moved back in on schedule, and had a walk through beforehand with punch list items. Everything was taken care of, and Tom followed up with us the day after we moved back in to make sure everything was wonderful. He also said he would be doing a complimentary 30 day, 90 day, and one-year check-in (and we had already paid our full contract). We had an open house a month after we moved in, and Tom came before to take care of about 10 small touch up items on our punch list. (Maltom also sent us a beautiful flower arrangement, and champagne!) We had one major issue when we had our first heavy rain after the summer and the oven hood leaked. It was quite alarming but Tom came out the next day to fix it. I'm not sure how we got so lucky to have such a responsive, efficient, and quality contractor, but we achieved a major remodel (added ~800 s.f., 1.5 bathrooms, new electrical, siding, gourmet kitchen, etc.) in less than 5 months - on budget and is our dream house that is more than we hoped for.”

“My husband and I hired Chelsea to design the interior spaces and recommend furnishings for the entire interior of our new home. The home is a different style and feel than we had ever lived in before. We have two college-aged kids, and we wanted a grown-up space that was warm and inviting for our guests, but still felt like home to our two kids during their regular visits. Chelsea nailed it in every way. There were many things we enjoyed about working with her, but the top five are: 1. She listened to us, took our feedback and incorporated it into her recommendations without any ego or preconceived ideas of what she wanted. 2. She was organized, prompt, efficient, effective and communicative - for months, we emailed on multiple topics each day. She was NEVER an obstacle - she kept us on our target completion date and kept the project moving. Our project lasted about six months. 3. She established a comprehensive budget at the outset, which we ultimately exceeded just slightly, BUT we did so knowingly and she called out the choices we made as those that were "investments" vs. "good values." We have a combination of both in our new space. 4. She created space for each of our college kids that they LOVE. This was so important to us - they have new and sophisticated grown-up spaces with touches of important mementos from their childhoods thrown in. 5. We are SO COMFORTABLE here. Chelsea always emphasized our new home is a living, functional space first and not a shrine. Her knowledge about products, finishes, fabrics, and combinations of all of those is so comprehensive. She recommended a lovely combination of objects and the result is an amazing space in which we enjoy spending time with our friends and family. I would hire Chelsea again without hesitation and have already recommended her to several close friends. I think anyone that can hire her is lucky to have her!”

“I absolutely love Fat Boy Construction's work! They have done work in a good friend's home in Steilacoom and I am very impressed. The quality of Fat Boy's work is impeccable.”

“The project was finished a couple of years ago and we are very satisfied with the outcome. The house is often an object of interests and inspiration to many people who are thinking of remodeling or building their houses. it is modern style blended well with nature and neighborhood. The Company owner has recently stopped by and we had a nice visit in a relaxing atmosphere, "touring" him around, after all the long process of remodeling is DONE! Well worth it!”
