**★★★★★ — aaroncrodriguez, Sept. 2015**

> Dave and his team bring a solid mix of creative design and user functionality to their finished product. Having worked with Dave on multiple projects, I have found him to provide realistic budgets and time lines for his projects and find ways to add unique elements that really give the project a custom finish. While he is very creative, he is also a good listener and definitely likes to work with your ideas to build something that you are very excited about.
>
> With our current project he is having to envision how to best use small living spaces to create an open, airy, and bright place to call home in downtown Olympia. We also have a smaller commercial space that needs some exterior TLC and Dave has no shortage of ideas as to how we can tie together indoor and outdoor spaces to expand the feel and function of the unit.

**★★★★★ — Rainier Distillers, March 2015**

> High Quality work, he builds homes and has a flair. He has a real talent and an eye. All his work is the best quality. He has worked for me on many floors and he has built my sheds and helped me fix up my house.

**Comment from Hygaard:**

> Thank you Anthony and Maria, you are comments and review are appreciated. Like we planned in the future I'll build you a beautiful house that will reflect your individual and creative minds. Your friend Dave.

**★★★★★ — dave16511, Feb. 2015**

> As a Realtor I often need a reliable contractor to deliver quality work, done on budget.  And... time is always of the essence.  Dave Hygaard with Viking Finishers is my go to contractor.   Once in a while - I need some special constructed for myself or a client.  That is where Mr. Hygaard shines.   Dave is a true master craftsman.  He has produced some real works of art for me over the past 20+ years, and everything he does he puts his heart and soul into.   Highly recommended.

**★★★★★ — Chris Kirk, Feb. 2015**

> Dave looks upon everything with a great eye for detail and treats his customers with respect.  He likes making sure you as the customer receives the absolute best option, and makes your dollar go as far as it can.  He is very creative and I liked his flexibility in how something could be done, unlike some contractors I've used in the past where they are very rigid (their way or the highway).  He isn't just a handyman, he is a great designer and planner.  I hope after this post I can upload photos being that I would still need to compile them as before and afters  Thank-you so much Dave we have really enjoyed the house.  We want more done.

**★★★★ — trunkfish, Feb. 2015**

> I hired Dave Hygard to do a major remodel for me. He completely remodeled the kitchen, including new cabinets, new flooring, new countertops. Both bathrooms were also remodeled including all cabinetry, sinks and hardware. New tile flooring was put into the bathroom with a heating element underneath. All new flooring went through approximately half of my home. Plus he customized storage areas, replaced all interior doors including all closet doors. "Popcorn" was removed from several ceilings.
> Overall, the job was done professionally, on time, and within budget.
