Although this review may be a little delayed, I couldn't let it go without giving credit where credit is due. John's warm and positive demeanor made the entire renovation process a breeze. He was always patient and understanding, even when we made last minute adjustments to the plans. His attention to detail and ability to handle any challenges that came his way truly impressed me. It's not easy to find a contractor who is not only skilled in their trade, but also a pleasure to work with. John and his team exceeded all expectations and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you, John, for your hard work and positive attitude throughout this project. You and your team truly deserve all the praise and recognition. > Afrin **★★★★ — Tammi, Nov. 2023** > John and his team were great. He was referred by a family friend and we had a project nobody really wanted to take on, which was rebuilding our chimney box on a very steep roof. As they dug in we realized it was more complicated, and as they walked the house, we had alot of wear so we then decided it was time to repaint the exterior home. It was 12 years since the last paint and rot was showing. It took about 3-4 weeks to complete the job however, as had been the case with our house, a lot of dyi had been done so he recommended a number of preventative measures that we really needed. The crew was great, on time, meticulous in the painting, had suggestions I wouldn’t have seen ie exterior light paint, door paint, etc that I appreciated. I’d definitely recommend p. **★★★★★ — Cathy and Lee, Oct. 2023** > When John says his business is more about customer service than the construction trade, I know he means it. He truly wants his clients to be happy with the results, and works to that end. We had a project planned out but when John first visited he re-envisioned it in a completely different layout that gave us a much better and more efficient 3/4 bathroom and laundry room. We are happy with the results and the quality is excellent. > In our experience communications was good. They showed up when they said they would and let you know when there would be a slowdown due to product availability or a subcontractor’s schedule. > We are hoping to work with them again because of everything listed above, but more importantly because we trust and like John and his crew. **★★★★★ — Michael Edwards, Dec. 2022** > John and his crew did an excellent job remodeling our home in Kirkland. They completely renovated the interior and did some exterior work as well. He used quality materials at a reasonable price, asking for our feedback on the interior design, painting, trim, doors, flooring, and more. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend John Builds for your remodeling needs. You'll be glad you did. **★★★★★ — Ashleigh Ferro, April 2021** > John and his team completely transformed our entire home and we could not be more pleased with the results! John is honest, reliable and treated us like family. He was always easy to reach and his crew showed up when they said they would. We were new to the home renovation process so John's ability to share his expertise was incredibly helpful during the planning process. Some of the work completed included a full kitchen remodel, full master bathroom remodel (curb-less shower, heated floor, tiling, countertops...) new LVP flooring, carpeting, millwork, new windows throughout, wall texture & paint... and more. Our previously outdated 1970's home feels brand new! His crew was always polite & professional and made sure to check in with us each step along the way. You will absolutely be in good hands if you trust John with your dream project, big or small. **★★★★★ — Colleen Volk, March 2021** > John and his crew were amazing. I had talked with several other designers and contractors and none of them were as organized as John. John's designer Minal had the most amazing ideas for the new bathroom layout (taking walls down and making a bigger closet and shower). John's attention to detail was very impressive! He would make changes and noticed small details and make sure they look perfect. Our bathroom is BEAUTIFUL! It turned out so much more beautiful than we ever imagined. He started our project when he said he would. He is a very good communicator in regard to budget and timeline. We did go over the original timeline but some of that was our fault as we made changes. I highly recommend John and his team, they did an amazing job! If/when we do another project we will hire him again. > > Watch out for his silly jokes - you will get one every day, they are a riot!!! **★★★★★ — Sundiata Graves, Feb. 2020** > JohnBuilds > > We used JohnBuilds for our major remodel - kitchen, pantry, living room, bathroom, bedroom and master bed and bath. We had a few estimates done but he was very helpful and personable during our initial meeting. John was responsive to all my questions and concerns and often came by to talk to us in person. We felt very comfortable having the crew work on our home, even with our dog staying home during the remodel. It took 5 months with some delays and extra costs but he helped us through the entire process and really couldn’t have done it without his expertise. We are so happy with the quality of work plus the guys worked hard to get our house ready by baby to arrive! We recommend and trust John, plus his dad jokes are a plus! :) **★★★★★ — cerarj, July 2019** > Our project was the major remodeling of two bathrooms. John started with a reasonable bid and timeline. Naturally, our project had its delays and overages but they were handled well and clearly explained. Throughout the project John was excellent at communication and would promptly respond to our questions and concerns. When a difficult issue arose he would meet us on site accommodating our schedule so we could come up with a creative solution. We are very happy with the results and would use his services again. **★★★★★ — Erica Harsch, July 2019** > John is the best! We've used him for 3 projects now (two bathrooms and a major backyard transformation), and will continue to in the future. He is trustworthy, kind, timely, and honest. We came by him by chance when we first moved here a couple of years ago, so we didn't know what to expect, but he's surpassed expectations. The first project he worked on for us was a bath/shower remodel, and when the plumbers installed the tub wrong he went to bat with them for us to ensure the job was done correctly. We are two women, so it's easy for male contractors to try to steamroll us, but that day John was our hero and has continued to do an awesome job. He listens, he explains, and he tries to get you what you want - even at extra cost to himself. He's a good contractor, he and his crew consistently do great work for us, but he's also just a really good guy. We trust him, and can't recommend him enough! **★★★★★ — Tom Currie, Sept. 2017** > We had John Evans install our high end custom kitchen cabinets. The cabinet maker recommended John to us and now we recommend him to you . From our first contact and through out the job there was excellent communication. The work was done per our schedule with outstanding quality at a competitive price. Thank you John ! **★★★★★ — Raymond Kluger, July 2017** > John Builds...Came to us thru my Brother Ralph's recommendation. We were told just what to expect with our Kitchen/Family Room Remodel...and found John Evans a Man of his Word. The Kitchen is Beautiful and My Wife is very pleased with Johns Work...He then replaced many Deck Boards, and brought up the Beauty of our House...The Guys worked very clean and always came when they said they would (very important)..I would Recommend John Builds to any Person who is in Need of a Quality Builder......Thank you John for a wonderful Experience and we Trust you to do Further Work for us again... **★★★★★ — Jerry/Linda Hardman, May 2017** > We hired Johnbuilds LLC for a master bath tear out after having him do our kitchen remodel in 2017. John was extremely helpful in our planning stage. He listened to what we wanted and gave excellent suggestions. Once work began he kept us appraised of timeline and schedule. His drew and subcontractors did excellent work, and everyone was respectful of our house. It took a bit longer than the original estimate, but that was mainly due to delay in materials availability. Work was completed on budget and we are very happy with our bathroom remodel. ## Selected projects - [Blissful Emerald Green and Gold Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blissful-emerald-green-and-gold-bathroom-pj-vj~7498448) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 7 - [Traditional Bellevue Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-bellevue-home-pj-vj~1233455) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 9 - Description: Our customers have a mid 80's style house that had the standard wall between the kitchen and dining room.

Backsplash help for contemporary white/grey kitchen** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello Houzz Fans - I could really use your advice. We designed a new kitchen without including our decision on backsplash! :(. Now, we want to add backsplash tile on one wall--the one with the range/fridge only, and are conflicted on what to do. Should we stick with white? Or should we go with something that picks up the grey (earthy) in the bottom cabinets? You can see in the bottom photo two colors that we were looking at. (Afraid the color on left could be too dark). Really I just need any feedback suggestions I can get! We were looking at large subway tile, but thought we should get away from the vertical pattern theme that already exists in the bottom cabinets and wood floors. I have an example of a new design concept that I can share as well. Would love your suggestions! A: I would personally try to pull some colors from the brick fireplace to pull the area together as your white counter top is neutral and the dark cabinets are fairly neutral also. If you plan to face the fireplace eventually, then I would use that product color to bring it into the space. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-17.*
