“Michael Herkert and his UMI team has done three projects at my home a deck, a kitchen remodel and fixing the outcome from a furnace malfunction. I highly recommend UMI. They did an excellent job. Every aspect of each job was done with quality and the utmost care. The workers showed up on time and were always respectful. If any concerns arose either during or after construction they were resolved quickly and to my complete satisfaction. Communication was excellent both with workers and UMI’s office staff. Calls and e-mails were answered promptly. I have used many contractors, being a home owner for 50 years and Michael Herkert and UMI are simply the best.”

“My wife and I have long desired to host outdoor cookouts throughout the year. However, residing in a rainy state like Washington presents a challenge in finding suitable weather conditions, particularly during the non-summer months. To address this, we opted to extend our patio by constructing a gazebo or pergola. After carefully considering various design layouts and material options, we ultimately selected a traditional solid wood pergola over an aluminum one. We anticipated the construction to be completed promptly, allowing us to enjoy it during the summer or early fall. However, the material delivery took two months due to its out-of-state origin. Regarding the installation process, I underestimated the availability of reputable contractors. It became evident that most pergola installation companies also provide the necessary building materials. After narrowing down our options to two, we chose Contigo Construction. After speaking with Manuel, the company’s owner, we reached an agreement. I informed him of the extended delivery time and provided him with the pergola’s layout plans. The initial idea was for the construction to commence in June, but due to the Homeowners Association’s approval process, material delivery, and other factors, the project was not started until October 25. Initial coordination with Manuel was necessary as he was also occupied with other commitments. The construction officially began on October 25 and was completed on November 2. Manuel and Mario, affectionately known as “Super Mario,” excelled in the pergola installation. My wife and I were astounded by the efficiency of two individuals who successfully assembled the pergola, which weighed approximately 3000 pounds and was constructed from solid Douglas Fir, within four days. While the project encountered some challenges, such as the need to purchase additional hardware and procure equipment that was not readily available, the team’s determination and expertise overcame these obstacles. The final result was nothing short of spectacular, exceeding our expectations. The pergola has brought immense joy to us, especially my wife, who endured the construction process for the longest duration. We extend our sincere gratitude to Manuel and Mario for their exceptional workmanship and dedication. Their efforts have resulted in a beautiful and functional outdoor space that we will cherish for years to come.”
