**★★★★★ — Seattle Appliance Specialists, April 2024**

> The design team took the time to understand the challenges with our current space and provided thoughtful solutions to transform our home.

**★★★★★ — Harvest Timber Specialty Products, Feb. 2017**

> I have years of wonderful experience with Gary Howe and his fine company.  Although I have never been on the receiving end of his fine talent I have seen first hand his relationship driven service and outstanding craftsmanship.  I rep a manufacturing company for N. America and I see Gary's work in our small community here is Gig Harbor, WA.  Both he and his work are second to none- a dying breed in our industry with regards to quality and integrity. So encouraging to see a 'real' craftsman still exist in today's world.

**★★★★★ — Drager Architecture, Feb. 2015**

> Gary Howe has built many of my designs over the last 20 years. He always understands the importance of the design that we have thoughtfully worked out with our clients.  He has always maintained the integrity and quality of the design throughout the building process to the finished product.  In every step of the project, he is the consummate professional.  Please consider having Gary Howe Construction as your builder.  You will have a home that you will be proud of for many years.

- [Contemporary Waterfront Property](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-waterfront-property-pj-vj~1320928)
  - Location: Gig Harbor, WA
  - Photos: 28
  - Description: This asian contemporary wasn't always this beautiful. Prior to the remodel this house was partially burned down, so the homeowner decided it was time for a major remodel. She loved the fact that it was waterfront property so we made sure to put as many windows in so the view was easily seen from every room in the house. These windows also provided great natural light all throughout.

- [Seamless Gig Harbor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seamless-gig-harbor-remodel-pj-vj~1320896)
  - Location: Gig Harbor, WA
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: Prior to the new family who moved in, the house seemed like it was put together at three different times, by three different builders, making the house look 'choppy.' Our job was to redesign and rebuild the exterior of the home to create a more 'seamless' look. Also, the home owners loved the view of Puget Sound in their backyard, so we created a large open deck to be used as an additional outdoor living space. You can find a cozy place to wrap up with a blanket and watch some TV or sports!

- [Contemporary Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-remodel-pj-vj~1320857)
  - Location: Tacoma, WA
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: This 1980's old vintage home was needing a new family to give it some love. The family who purchased it loved the location, but wanted to do a complete remodel to bring it back to life - and that is just what they did. The only thing left was the structural shell. In the end, this Tacoma remodel turned into an open concept home with strong architectural details.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the cabinets!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please let me know the manufacturer and color of the cabinets? Love the soft cream color.

A: We here at Gary Howe Construction build our own custom cabinets for some of our projects and this was one we did. I cannot remember the specific color.
Thanks for asking, Gary

**Q: Counter material** *(in Photo Questions)*

What kind of material was used for the lighter countertop? I'm looking for a similar veining look to go with an existing island.

A: It is Marble
