Backsplash Installers in Seattle

“Armada Design/Build – Alex, the owner, runs a first-class operation. My wife, Kathy, and I had two large interior renovation/design projects that I’ll simply call the upstairs project and the downstairs project. We interviewed three different companies and eventually requested initial design drawings, cost estimates, and timelines from two. Initial cost estimates were all similar; designs were creative; but timelines were quite different. We selected Armada because of the start dates and timeline for each project, and equally importantly, we really liked the people! The design phase for the upstairs project was challenging because we knew our functional requirements but could not envision a layout. Craig Bartel was our assigned designer, and he was perfect for us. Very patient. During meetings he displayed his computer layouts on a big screen and provided take home printouts and PDFs for us to study further and edit for the next meeting. He brought great ideas to the project. Originally, there were three bedrooms, a rec room and a shared bathroom. Craig’s design created a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet and a study/office. It added a new ¾ bathroom to serve the two remaining bedrooms and included an extensive built-in bookcase in the hallway. Throughout the process, Robin Briggs kept a detailed spreadsheet of the estimated costs as the design project evolved, and she helped tremendously with hardware and finishing suggestions to keep us within budget. The downstairs project was a kitchen, family room and powder room renovation. There were structural design requirements to replace a supporting post and pony wall separating the kitchen and family room with a support beam, opening the entire space. It also included adding a large picture window to the breakfast nook. The structural engineer they consulted excellent as was the permitting process with City of Kirkland. My wife Kathy is a geologist and was very particular about the extensive stone work installed downstairs and in the upstairs bathrooms. Nick and Natalia at Atlantic Stone and Tile were outstanding subcontractors for Armada. They spent considerable time with us in the final slab selections, finishing and installation. Their work was flawless. Project execution took the upstairs and the downstairs spaces down to floorboards and studs. The key person for us was Greg Gordon, our assigned project manager. He was incredible! Greg’s coordination of the subcontracting plumbers, electricians, painters, floor finishers, cabinet, lighting, tile, carpet, wallpaper and appliance installers seemed effortless. He was onsite and met with us frequently. He was very easy to reach by phone or text, even after hours and weekends! He was extremely responsive to all our needs and delightful to work with. The projects finished on budget and very close to on time!! In short, Armada Design/Build was an outstanding choice for us. We're delighted withe work.”

“We had an excellent kitchen remodel experience with United Signature. We took a chance and contracted with them based on reviews. So happy. We had an outdated 90's kitchen and needed some fresh ideas. Anna, one of their design team experts showed us some designs that really opened our kitchen up and fixed some flow problems we had while cooking. We really liked the fact that they were a full remodel company from design to completion. Oleg, their project manager was very prompt in responding and held to every schedule promised. The materials used for cabinets and countertops was high quality. When construction began the crew was daily during standard working hours and always cleaned up at the end of the day. The kitchen construction was about 4-6 weeks, less appliance installation. We ordered our appliances separately and those staggered in over the course of a year. What was professional was that United Signature returned promptly and installed each appliance as we received them. We thought the pricing was fair and would not hesitate to contact them again for other remodeling projects.”
