Beaverton Kitchen And Bath Remodelers

"We are very pleased with the work done in our bathroom remodel. Everything turned out great and the bathroom looks fantastic. , our project manager, was a pleasure to work with, as were all of the subcontractors. Everyone was friendly and very professional, and their work product was excellent. Because we had to replace our ...more window with a smaller one to accommodate the larger shower, we especially appreciated the effort

took to find vinyl siding that was as close a match as possible to our existing siding, given that our siding is no longer available on the west coast. We also very much appreciated

's efforts to keep us up-to-date on the day's progress when we were not at home on the days the work was done.

did a great job at scheduling all the components of this project and coordinating the subcontractors so that the work was done efficiently, without unnecessary down time. He was very responsive to our questions and he worked with us to be sure we were happy with each step in the process. We also really appreciated that the work area was cleaned up as much as possible at the end of the day. This was a big plumbing project (for us) and we were very happy with the plumbing work. Overall, this was a very positive experience for us.

"My wife and I met with in August of 2013. We wanted to remodel our kitchen but we were having difficulty envisioning possibilities. brought in his designer, West, to help us. We have a relatively small space for our kitchen and I thought that there wasn't much we could do to ...more make an improvement or even change the layout. With our input

and

came up with a design that we became very excited about.
Next, they helped us select colors and materials and introduced us to all the right people to help with decisions about appliances, cabinet details, surface details, etc. We thought that the selection and decision-making process was going to be painful and tedious but it turned out that

and

's guidance and professionalism actually made the process quite fun.
I'm the kind of detail oriented person that usually feels I have to be involved in every step to make sure that everythig is done right. It didn't take us long to realize that I could just relax and trust

and

to tend to the details for me.
Before the demolition started

gave us a time line so we would know what to expect. It turned out that his itinerary was very accurate. The work areas were always left neat and clean at the end of each work day.

made sure that all of the sub-contractors were punctual and that they understood the job.

knew when to be there to make sure that the artistic touches were done correctly. The whole project was completed ahead of schedule and it turned out better than we could have imagined. The process was easy and fun. I actually wish that we had another project to do with them!
We highly recommend

"It was a big project so it took a lot of time to plan and, then, execute. Selected THE Remodel Group after interviewing 5 contractors and asking for estimates from 3. (One of the 3 never submitted an estimate; never even got back to me.)
Worked with and to define the details of the project for several ...more weeks before we had a final contract in place and a schedule to begin work. I had some definite ideas about what I wanted -- especially in the kitchen -- and

came back with ideas that would fit within my budget. I knew what color scheme I wanted, but I needed help selecting the right shades and hues. Got that from the subcontractors and suppliers

works with.
Work began on schedule after I had emptied the house of all possessions and moved out. I appreciated that I was able to leave furniture in place as

had his crew shift items that were too large for me to handle. (That definitely saved me both money and stress.)
Due to delays in getting some materials, the work extended longer than we had planned and I was not able to move back in when I expected to. The crew was very responsive and cheerfully took care of items on the punch list. When the new counter was going to be delayed a couple of weeks (due to a mistake on the part of the supplier), the crew improvised a temporary counter so I could at least use my kitchen.
The project took longer than we had anticipated (doesn't it always?) but I am very happy with the results. The color scheme throughout the house looks great. I'm thrilled with my new kitchen, especially the shallow pantry. I had been imagining that feature for a very long time but had no idea how it could be done.

's plan for the pantry turned out just right.

"The contractors estimated price was over the top more expensive than competitors. The contractor was selected because of a perceived reputation that turned out to be more fiction than fact.







's interpersonal skills include reassurance and self confidence. This is quite ...more disarming. Its easy to perceive this as professionalism. However, this doesn't hold when there are issues to be resolved with work. I found a pattern of denying that an item is a problem, an attempt to soothe one into acceptance of subpar work. When pushed to actually resolve problems, he spends more time advocating for his subcontractors than assuring issues are resolved.







His Quality standards were ad-hoc. I once asked him why he was not catching and detecting errors in work performed. His response was that different customers have different standards of quality. I believe he just ignores flawed work. Unless I pushed, nothing was done. When effort was exerted to fix issues, it was just as likely that more issues would be created than resolved. I was very disappointed in this regard.

promises the highest quality of workmanship. My experience was that he cannot deliver.







I'd avoid signing any contract unless the scope of work is specified in great detail with very specific ways to measure the quality of the work.







I'd add contract provisions that he is responsible for costs regarding negligent behavior that causes rework.







I'd identify and hire an independent inspector to check the quality of work before walls are sealed. The inspector should check for conformance to building code, damage to structure, and the agreed standard of quality.







I made payments in advance. I'd hold payments until later in the project. In particular, I'd make sure the last payment is a large one and contingent on clear progress towards resolution of issues. Add penalties if work to resolve issues creates new problems.

"My wife and I had our bathroom remodeled by and his crew. We wanted to keep the costs low and thus chose to buy all of the supplies ourselves and do the electrical work. was very willing to work with these constraints. The scope of work was moving a wall between two bathrooms, adding a room in the master ...more bath with shower and toilet, moving all of the fixtures, tiling floor and shower walls. Overall, the work was done quite well, especially the tile floor looks great! The work was not completed on time with regard the original estimate; but there was daily work done on our bathroom to get it completed. Our shower

was slightly damaged during the work and

ensured to get it repaired professionally. It was really great working with him and am very satisfied with his work; I would definitely hire him again.

"Lots of pros mixed with a few cons from this lengthy series of jobs. Net result was two beautifully remodeled bathrooms, one updated bathroom that looks great, and wonderful hardwood floors. But getting there was harder than expected.
is in all respects a hard-working, experienced, honorable contractor who strains to make ...more jobs go well. His foreman,

, is cut from the same mold and fixes a lot of problems left by various subcontractors. The subcontractors, however, are of widely varying demeanors and skill levels, and if you do the work during the peak construction season, expect delays, trouble getting a firm fix on when crews may arrive, and plenty of things that may fall through the cracks, so to speak.
You must also be prepared to do all design work on your own of through a separately hired professional.

has established a rather broad network of preferred vendors, and some of them are simply extraordinary. But there are also a couple of clunkers in the mix. So knowing what materials you want to use, colors and approaches, all on the basis of your own homework, is essential.

's best sub contractors are really, really good. His flooring guys are simply outstanding--the hardest working individuals I think I have ever seen, ruthlessly efficient yet focused always on doing a beautiful job. His tile-

is meticulous and does beautiful work. The electrician and his apprentice are real characters; they know their stuff. We had bad luck with the mirror and shower vendor, who told us one thing and delivered another (

made it right from his own pocket); with one member of his

's main crew, a rather insolent, sneering guy who used the wrong seal on the shower stall, which meant it leaked and had to be partially redone (again, at

's expense); and with the plumber, who did not get the right permits, did not install toilets when he was supposed to and seemed unable to comply with city standards without two or three tries at it.
We also were very impressed with the spray painter who set up a studio in our garage and beautifully refinished a dozen doors; a really good guy.
And, finally, a special thanks to

, the outfit that supplied the countertops. They gave us a good price, produced the tops in just days and got them installed quickly and well when we needed that to happen.

's relationship with

made that possible.
The crush of summertime business;

's "all on a post-it note or in his head" scheduling system and the continual sense that

's people were putting out fires right and left, which left them unable to actually plan and stick to a project schedule, all

to delays. But, in the end, everything (except one small thing) got done, we love the bathrooms, we love the floors and we consider

and

Remodeling to be a real find.

"Everything went great. They were prompt, professional. Did everything they said they would do, in the time frame they said they would do it. We anticipate using them when we're ready to do the tub to shower conversion in the main bath. We would recommend them to others.
