Phil Chek and Associates

Phil Chek and Associates have been our “go to” since we bought our home here in Lake Oswego 2018. He was referred by our Real Estate Agent. From the beginning he and his team were responsive, creative, “problem solving”, and truthful about our realities. Always supportive. After a few months of working together on various updates for our new home, our refrigerator “sprung a leak”, turns out the ice-maker had been slowly leaking, probably for weeks, and had done permanent damage to our hardwood flooring for over half our kitchen. We called Phil Chek, almost crying that day, with towels all over floors, total panic. We had not been able to reach a plumber. Phil picked up his phone and said he would “call people”. Those people showed up that afternoon and more people came, all the appropriate sub-contractors, to rescue us from our flooded kitchen. Not only did it end up looking as good or better - he was with us during the challenges of finding replacement flooring, the creative challenges of how to match, make it all work again - with several contractors involved. Problem solving and expertise at its best. This translates with the “simpler” things, like choosing countertops, when to stop spending money, when to spend more, what looks great - what doesn’t. His personal skills and vast array of people to call, along with his loyal team make him an excellent choice as your point person on any project. I love his aesthetic, and his work ethic, his dedication to the people who are his clients. He was family that day he showed up during our “flood”.

I can't believe it has been so many years, but I'm here to stay in the beautiful home Phil Chek helped create. Phil has provided beautiful, innovative, period-appropriate designs and contracting for three large remodeling projects for me. My first was a 1960's 1100 sq ft home. He made every inch of space (inside and out) livable and beautiful. Then, I moved to a 1926 Bungalow in Portland Oregon, and Phil again, completely transformed a 1960's master bed/bath remodel, into a luxurious, yet period-true master bed bath suite. Phil has a HUGE, creative visions of the future for a home. Our final remodeling project of the 1926 Bungalow was kitchen, family room, dining room and outdoor living space ... they were all connected. The final wrap was siding and roof. He changed each living space so instead of feeling comfortable entertaining a few, we could easily entertain more than 30. My homes were relatively, small projects on his radar, but I never felt unimportant. He has designed large commercial projects, NBA players' homes, well-known artists, etc. His vision is unlimited ... I hope I can add pics later. Can't seem to locate them now.

I have worked with Phil Chek & Assoc for many years. Phil and his staff have orchestrated each project from start to finish. Some of the projects have included, a Business remodel , our home Bathroom remodel, picking paint colors, a Complete Kitchen Make-over ( which we are currently working on) as well as wall texture design, furniture design and sofa reupholstering.. Phil is always very patient and attentive to my ideas re :our family's needs re; space design and willing to work with in my budget. He is a master at color and design . I really love working with this firm and will continue to work with Phil on future projects.

Phil Chek and Associates were retained to renovate an office suite in the historic Pankhard Building in Old Town Sherwood. With great attention to the historic significance, period details and functionality of our business, Phil's team did an excellent job in blending our needs as a community bank with the significance of the building. Facing a very tight time frame, Phil motivated and managed his subcontractors to work long day and nights, assuring we were ready to open this location on schedule; all in under 8 weeks. When faced with unforseen challenges, such as deteriorating subfloors and electrical wiring issues, Chek and Associates made decisions and problem solved to our favor; all with a great "can do" attitude! From a creative aspect, the colors, design and floor plan offer an elegant yet functional feel to our lending office. Phil even incorporated the original bank vault, repurposing it as a wine cellar for a collection of area wineries' vintages. You want creative? Look no further than Phil Chek and Associates! I offer a favorable recommendation for Phil Chek and Associates with no reservations, based on commitment, innovation and excellent customer service- from project inception to completion.

After purchasing a town home in the summer of 2013, we hired Phil Check and Associates to just about gut it and bring it to it's full potential. He and his team delivered more than I had imagined this home could be. Phil and his team are more than qualified & capable to design and execute a remodel from start to finish with little to no involvement from the homeowner yet they welcome above normal input from the homeowner as well, as was the case with us. Through the entire process we felt like part of the team. We could not be happier with the results! There were many times along the way that Phil made suggestions for alternate choices that were a savings to us and we appreciated that especially because the scope of our project was rather large. Together we blended the perfect amount of savings and splurges. His creative flair shines throughout from the sprinkler system line hidden within a beam to a half bath with motion controlled lighting on an antique mermaid. Phil creatively solved our lack of a 'pet area' by creating a hidden under-staircase area for a litter box. Problems solved one day after another. Some of the work Phil did for us included: New kitchen remodeled from a peninsula to large island New wood floors & carpet Fireplace removal & replacement, relocated within the room Remodeled 1/2 bath New floor to ceiling stone accent walls on two floors Build in office desk and hutch cabinet Garage shelving Remodeled laundry area and added barn doors New doors throughout New lighting throughout Product selection throughout Furniture & textile purchases Phil's attention to detail and schedule are a huge asset to his company. He is up with the roosters planning the day and sub schedules for his clients. He truly keeps his company moving ahead and on task almost round the clock. He's a gifted man surrounded by a very talented team and I can not say enough about them. Our project was huge and lasted approximately 4-5 months. We did not have a single negative experience. If we have another remodel project, large or small in the future, the one and only call will be to Phil Chek and Associates. They really are the best! Sincerely, Jon & Mair Blatt Portland, OR
