The work was shoddy, in places he stuck pieces f siding up with a silicone seal, and it has since come loose and dropped down. I was told all I would have to pay for was materials. They were supposed to put up signs in my yard giving their name for advertising purposes, they never did. I tried to contact them but at that time I couldn't find a phone number or address for them. **Comment from NW HomeWorks:** > Hi Bert. Sorry for your experience. Unfortunately, you have us confused with another contractor, NW Homework (without the S) they seem to specialize in siding, and we have been confused with them before. We don't do siding in our company. We are a kitchen and bath contractor. Thank you, Tim **★ — jsmith40015, Aug. 2016** > Whatever you do, DO NOT CONTRACT NW HOMEWORKS!!! They are consistently late and do not respond to emails or phone calls when things go wrong. They are 4 months into our project and so far have done about one week worth of work. Tim is the WORST and doesnt respect his customers. There's always an excuse and has lost all credibility in his poor craftsmanship. Unless they resolve quickly I'm posting pictures on how they messed up my kitchen! **Comment from NW HomeWorks:** > Hi! I'm sorry you're having trouble with your contractor, but it seems you have us confused with someone else. There are other companies with a similar name to ours, so perhaps you've contracted with one of them. The description you've left in your review, most certainly does not resemble any projects we have ongoing at this time. While we are very busy at the moment, all of our projects are progressing as expected and without delays. I wish you the best of luck with your kitchen remodel, and hope you can resolve this issue with your contractor. All the best - Tim **★★★★★ — Shelley Mcdaniel, July 2015** > NW Homeworks just completed a major remodel of our kitchen/laundry room/powder room/pantry in Tacoma. We could not be more pleased. From a thorough and detailed bid from Tim, to a level of craftmanship and attention to detail by the construction lead, Vasily, everything we experienced from this team makes us want to call them first for any future work. Having used Ikea cabinets before, I was confident in their quality. But the door selection with the new Sektion system was not really what I wanted. So we went with custom doors from NW Homeworks in a rift teak. They look beautiful! All of the elements came together perfectly and it was a pretty low stress experience, especially compared to some previous remodeling projects. We would highly recommend NW Homeworks for this type of project. **★★★★★ — ericfaust, Nov. 2014** > NW HomeWorks did a FANTASTIC job on my kitchen. I decided to go with Ikea cabinets but the key to a really good Ikea kitchen is design, customization, and attention to detail. Tim, the owner, gave a solid quote and quickly pointed out any parts needed to improve my design. Installation was performed quickly and thoroughly. The result is custom kitchen that looks fantastic and every cabinet and drawer is completely square and flush. I am very happy to have used NW HomeWorks and I will be happy to work with them again. (In the photos we have not decided on a backsplash yet, but hopefully we'll have one soon) **★★★★★ — Leslie Craig, Aug. 2014** > We had this crew install our new Ikea kitchen and they did a fabulous job. They fit us in their schedule quickly and the work is phenomenal as our cabinets look high end. They protected our newly installed hardwood floors, were clean, professional and very efficient. I highly recommend Tim and his crew and would use them again in a heartbeat! **★★★★★ — David Breckling, March 2014** > NW Homeworks continuously impresses me with their professionalism, competence, and craftsmanship. I chose a Ikea for the kitchen cabinetry in my full gut remodel. The layout I designed was complicated and required modification of several Ikea pieces to work in the kitchen space. NW Homeworks crew were able to take the giant truckload of ikea boxes and piece everything together independently and just make it work. No dumb questions and no complaints. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail surpass so-call skilled woodworkers that I've hired to build custom pieces. The kitchen has turned out beautifully, and people are always surprised to learn that the cabinetry is from Ikea. NW Homeworks is getting the call back for the laundry room and master closet, which will probably also be Ikea, but I would use them for any other projects that I have. **★★★★★ — katedw203, Feb. 2014** > We contracted Tim and his team at NW HomeWorks to do a bit of renovation (removal of a few things, patching sheetrock, etc.) and install an Ikea kitchen. From the beginning, Tim was a great communicator - he came to our house in Seattle to provide us with a quote very quickly, gave us great feedback on our Ikea kitchen design, provided a very competitive bid, and started our project promptly. His team and subcontractors were excellent every step of the way in terms of quality, professionalism, adherence to schedule and budget, and Tim was a great leader and communicator throughout the process. > > We've worked with contractors before and have never found the combination of attention to schedule and budget, communication, and quality that we got with NW HomeWorks. I would work with Tim again in a second and highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Shree, Nov. 2013** > Tim and his crew were fantastic to work with. Very professional, reasonably priced and most of all honest. From the first time we met him to for showing the project area, to coming up with plan and to completion with finishing touches - he saw it through. He'll get a call from me for my next project for sure. **★★★★★ — Eatai, July 2013** > From the initial consultation, Tim just had a good vibe. He came organized. We looked over my initial designs and talked about what I wanted. He took pictures and measurements and told me he'd get back to me after he had talked to his electrician. By that evening I had a quote in my inbox. He was on the ball. > > The NW HomeWorks guys are timely and tidy. They do really good work (I'd say their tile work stands out as especially good). I live in an apartment in a midcentury (1960's) condo. The kitchen may very well have been original to the building (not in a good way). Needless to say, as cabinets were removed and walls came down, there were some surprises along the way. But Tim is a good problem solver. He found solutions and redesigns that preserved the aesthetic I wanted while compromising schedule and budget as little as possible. > > Throughout the project, I'd get emails and texts from Tim. Progress reports came almost daily, so I never felt out of the loop. If I had concerns (even nit-picky ones), they were promptly addressed. He's an excellent communicator, cares about his clients being happy, and takes pride in his work. The end result speaks for itself. My kitchen is beautiful. **★★★★★ — smmaryk, Feb. 2013** > NW HomeWorks provided us with prompt answers to our questions and concerns regarding our proposed kitchen counter tops replacement and followed up with an equally prompt estimate for the required job. Although our location required a long drive, they never hesitated to take on the job. > The owner together with two workers worked extremely well as a team and showed great pride in their craftsmanship. The entire job was accomplished in one day as promised and at the estimated cost of the project. > We could not be more pleased with the result and would recommend > NW HomeWoks for their craftsmanship. ## Selected projects - [High-gloss White Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-gloss-white-kitchen-pj-vj~846616) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Here’s a kitchen we finished last month for a client who’s not afraid to think outside the box! Working with our designer, Breanne, they were able to come up with a totally unique looking kitchen that manages to blend modern features with classical elements to fit perfectly within the style of the home. We especially love the toe-kick drawers and the appliance garage/workstation. Using brass for the toe-kick was a bold choice that works really well here, and with all these unique features you'd… - [Midcentury Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midcentury-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~624098) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This kitchen hadn't been updated since the 1950s. Check out the original cabinets in the before photo! To get a more open spacious feel, and better workflow, we blasted out the partition walls, and extended the cabinets into the dining room with a pantry/buffet area. To achieve the midcentury modern look, we combined IKEA's Abstrakt high-gloss white cabinets with custom mahogany doors and panels made to fit the IKEA cabinets. Adding custom doors to IKEA cabinets is a great way to get a custom, h… - [Craftsman Style Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-style-kitchen-pj-vj~479537) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: We're proud to have had a hand in creating this beautiful kitchen for Robert and Timothy, owners of Grid Architectural Surfaces + Tile. Robert and Timothy designed their kitchen themselves, and we think they did an awesome job of opening up the space and updating the room without sacrificing the original details and charm of their 1905 home. They made the ceramic hexagonal floor tile by hand at their tile studio, and the complimentary tile in the backsplash was re-purposed from the original glas… - [Vashon Island Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vashon-island-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~392445) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Black and White kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-and-white-kitchen-pj-vj~389961) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: This is a kitchen we remodeled in a home in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood. We used IKEA's Gnosjo fronts on the bottom cabinets, and their Abstrakt high gloss white on top. I really like mixing the styles like this. The wood grain effect on the Gnosjo adds a great contrast of texture as well as color. For this kitchen, we used traditional (non-IKEA) crown molding around the cabinets to better tie in the kitchen with the rest of the house. I really love the backsplash that the homeowner chose fo… - [Kirkland IKEA Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kirkland-ikea-kitchen-pj-vj~320807) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 5 - Description: This is a kitchen we just completed in Kirkland, WA using IKEA's ABSTRAKT White cabinets. The red glass mosaic backsplash was a bold choice, but it really pays off and makes the whole kitchen pop. - [Tile Mosaic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tile-mosaic-pj-vj~166573) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: My Wife, Olga, of Pacific Tile Wave, was commissioned to create this incredible tile mosaic for the powder room floor of a custom house on Whidbey Island, WA. I had the honor of installing the work, and I've gotta say, it looks amazing! Please take the time to visit Olga's Page at: http://www.facebook.com/tilewave and tell her what you think! - [Small Seattle Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-seattle-kitchen-pj-vj~147648) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Log Cabin Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/log-cabin-bathrooms-pj-vj~119910) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: This was a challenging remodel, because both bathrooms were quite small, and also because the construction of log cabins makes running plumbing and electrical lines really difficult. Still with careful planning, and thought, we were able to utilize every inch of space and create much more inviting and functional rooms. - [Contemporary Kitchen Installation with IKEA cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-installation-with-ikea-cabinets-pj-vj~90150) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Tacoma Master Bath Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tacoma-master-bath-project-pj-vj~90146) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/nw-homeworks-pfvwus-pf~503549320) ## Ideabooks - [nwhomeworks's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24771622/list/nwhomeworks-s-ideas) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/nwhomeworks) ## Community Q&A **Q: What kind of cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* I think they are ikea? What are the base cabinets? Black or dark wood? A: You're right, they are IKEA. The base cabinets are Abstrakt Gray and the uppers are Abstrakt white. **Q: What brand is the chandelier?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I'm sorry I don't know. My customer found it on line somewhere. **Q: Are the cabinet end pieces Ikea or custom?** *(in Photo Questions)* I didn't see the Gnosjo Black end pieces on Ikea's website. Did you have these custom built or get them from Ikea? A: They are from IKEA. Here's a link: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20220459/ **Q: Are these power strips also available with a surge protector** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Actually, you can get them at Lowe's or Home Depot. They only came in one size and we had to cut them to fit the way we wanted. Good luck! **Q: Mixing granite in kitchen** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have fallen in love with the black galaxy granite. I'm worried that it will overwhelming if I use it every where in my kitchen. Wondering if anyone has used it on their island with another granite on perimeter? If yes, what color? Photo of new tile and kitchen attached A: Personally, I really like the look of having different color countertops on the island. It really breaks things up. In this photo, we actually used Granite on the perimeter and Caesar Stone on the island. I think if the customer had chosen to use the same granite everywhere it would have been too busy. **Q: Ideas for kitchen splashback** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are building a new house and I need help in deciding the splashback for the kitchen that has antique white cabinets, kashmir gold granite benchtop and a traditional style green freestanding cooker, which is a feature in itself. I do not want to use glass as a backsplash because I don't like the look and it is adding to already mounting costs. I do like the look of tiles, but their only drawback is the cleaning of the grouting. Would large tiles work? I just feel they don't have the charm of smaller tiles in a kitchen. What about a large tile combined with something? Am wary of mosaic as it means more grouting !! A: I just want to chime in about grout. If you do decide on tile, and you're at all concerned about cleaning or discoloration(which is a legitimate concern, especially behind the range) have your installer use epoxy or urethane grout. These are both a lot more expensive than regular grout, but they are stain proof, and do not require any sealing or significant up-keep. Good luck. Love the stove! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
