New Home Construction Companies in Elk Plain

“A great, successful comapny. Professional workers who are kind and fairly smart and know what they are doing. Projects are done beautifully and fast. Recommended for everyone.”

“Concept builders did an amazing job twice for us. They are highly professional, honest, and would recommend them to anyone! We felt lucky to find them.”

“A year ago they came out and gave up a really great quote on our idea for remodeling our home. They are very professional and even went as far as taking us to a few of their project homes to show us the quality of work and some past successes. We weren't able to move forward with the process but as soon as we can we will definitely be using Sockeye Home to assists us.”

“Crescent Builds did an outstanding job from start to finish of our project. They were sensitive to our needs and design preferences, stringent in their standards, rigorous in their project management - and transformed our house into a beautiful home.”

“We demolished our 1950's rambler with daylight basement house down to the foundation and built a 2 story contemporary home. John incorporated our ideas into a unique design that fit our family. A year later we still have people stopping by our house asking where we got the materials and design. Like any big project, not everything went perfectly, but Axiom worked hard to correct any problems.”

“I worked with Ben and his company on my rooftop deck. The project was amazing, from the first blueprint, to the planning and the execution of the build out, Ben is exceptionally talented. We have since done a couple more phases (additional lighting and back side of the deck build out), I don't have anybody come up on my rooftop without being blown away. I highly recommend London-i.”

“I worked with Bakken Design Build to build a new three-story (attic on the top floor) home and garage from an existing foundation (garage has new foundation poured). The owner, Joel, was insightful during the planning and design phases, taking the time to meet me and discuss any questions or requests I had. He had great ideas and was able to plan well, also having given advice on living areas that I would not have thought about. During construction, the Bakken Design Build staff were very friendly and helpful. There were no problems with me stopping by the project site to asking questions or just checking out the work. Design or material choices were always offered with dollar amounts, preventing surprises. Overall, this company was a pleasure to work with, taking the project from start to completion. I've been living in the home for several months now, and it's a lovely place to be. The design aesthetics often get complements from passerby's and neighbors.”

“Affordable planning, prompt responses, great design and attention to detail from one of the most respected and professional remodeling firms in the Puget sound.”

“I hired JML Design to design a backyard cottage. This had been a dream of mine for some time and I met Jean-Marc LeRoy in passing and when I learned he was an architect, I mentioned my vision to have a back yard cottage built, but was in no hurry to start. What I really appreciated was that a few months later, he circled around to check in to see what my progress was and if I was still interested in having this done. As a busy business owner with 100's of things jockeying for my attention, I really needed this follow up. After checking out his website that showed some of his previous projects, I saw that his aesthetic was what I was looking for. We met for a consultation, a site preview and then a proposal was presented. This was my first time working with an architect, but I found his breakdown to be thorough and very reasonable. Another thing that I really appreciated about Jean-Marc is his ability to listen. He was able to take my ideas and turn it into something more than I imagined, adding things that represented my style and ideas. Jean-Marc has magnificent talent as well as connection to resources and experts in the field. I would recommend him to my closest friends and feel confident that he would deliver his best.”

“Our project is the Columbia City remodel. Maltom, Inc. is highly recommended. They are a design/build firm, but we had most of our design work already done and they were able to bring the design to reality. Tom Lakomski is the owner and he has done a wonderful job managing the project, keeping to an aggressive schedule, working within our budget, and communicating with us on almost a daily basis. The project permitting got started in early February (2015), we moved out in March, and we moved back in early August. The team and sub-contractors were timely, professional, clean, and the work is impeccable. Remodeling is a daunting experience, and there were countless decisions to make and materials and labor are so expensive. But Tom was an incredible resource, understanding our budget and working with us to build a sleek, modern (transitional style), high quality house that we will be able to enjoy for decades to come. We would highly recommend Maltom with no reservations, and you can expect to get high quality work within your budget with clear communication and adherence to schedule. I will note that my husband and I have been extremely organized and very focused and clear about our design, scope, and budget - and this style has worked very well with Maltom. We have had only a few change orders (Cat 6 in the house instead of cat 5/canned lights in basement/nest thermometer/tile shower in guest bath instead of tub). Although our contract specifies a 12% change order fee, Tom had told us that the fee would be waived if the changes were discussed in advance and did not impact schedule or cause major changes etc. We have found that to be the case for all of our change orders (that the fee was waived). At the beginning of the project, Tom created a shared google calendar with us for all of the stages (permitting/demo/foundation/electrical/HVAC etc.), and also gave us written weekly progress reports and an ongoing task list. Tom understands that we are building our dream house, and often had suggestions about not only the infrastructure, but material finishes, fixtures, and modern design ideas. For example, one week he asked us how we wanted the front of the house to look (we are doing hardie board siding), and suggested that in the gable area people often add a contrasting shingle or shake to add interest. We ended up going with cedar shakes due to his suggestion, but truthfully we would not have even thought about it until all the hardie board was up. Just one example out of many that we have worked through - since we have not been working with an architect, his suggestions and advice have been invaluable. We moved back in on schedule, and had a walk through beforehand with punch list items. Everything was taken care of, and Tom followed up with us the day after we moved back in to make sure everything was wonderful. He also said he would be doing a complimentary 30 day, 90 day, and one-year check-in (and we had already paid our full contract). We had an open house a month after we moved in, and Tom came before to take care of about 10 small touch up items on our punch list. (Maltom also sent us a beautiful flower arrangement, and champagne!) We had one major issue when we had our first heavy rain after the summer and the oven hood leaked. It was quite alarming but Tom came out the next day to fix it. I'm not sure how we got so lucky to have such a responsive, efficient, and quality contractor, but we achieved a major remodel (added ~800 s.f., 1.5 bathrooms, new electrical, siding, gourmet kitchen, etc.) in less than 5 months - on budget and is our dream house that is more than we hoped for.”
