  Our journey with Spartan Contracting began in the early summer of 2019. We had just fired another contractor in the middle of a bathroom remodel which had turned into an unqualified disaster. The project was putting a second bathroom in the basement of our 65 year old house, and remodeling the existing upstairs bathroom. The contractor we had hired on the basis of a friend's recommendation had just stopped showing up with the job half done. As we should have done to begin with, we interviewed three contractors and went with Spartan. I wish we had found them first! Levi (owner) and Mark (foreman) went over the existing and projected work in detail, gave us a thorough estimate, and an honest assessment of what needed to be done. Mistakes had been made by the previous contractor and subcontractors, which had to be rectified. As well, the previous contractor had not obtained the appropriate permits for the extensive job, which could have become a serious issue when it came to selling the house in future. Everything that needed to be done was explained in detail at each step. Spartan was definitely challenged by the fact that the house is 65 years old. As work progressed, not unexpectedly, issues turned up which had to be addressed to bring electricity and plumbing up to code, to reinforce aged infrastructure, to correct haphazardly done "upgrades" by the previous homeowners(s), as well as the mistakes made by the previous contractor. At each step of the way, they explained what needed to be done and why. We wanted everything to be done correctly, to code, and in a quality fashion. This is what we got. The downstairs bathroom had been a particular challenge due to very old plumbing, and dealing with a lift station to the septic system. Each challenge was met and solved. Excellent plumbing and electrical subcontractors were brought in. Both bathrooms turned out beautifully. We were so pleased that we decided to go ahead with a kitchen remodel, as well as adding an arctic entryway and replacing poorly built deck and fence. Levi and Mark worked with us to design a kitchen that would fit into a somewhat challenging space. Again, as the project proceeded, necessary improvements and upgrades had to be made. Work proceeded through the winter with its cold weather challenges. And then..... the pandemic. Spartan was hampered by supply chain standstill for months, and the general systemic issues we all death with starting March 2000. They did what they could, when they could, but the project stretched far longer than any of us anticipated. Our project finally finished this summer. The results are beautiful. We went from having one old and kind of disgusting bathroom, and a dysfunctional kitchen, to two beautiful bathrooms, a kitchen we love to cook in, and a much appreciated arctic entry. I can't say enough about Spartan's quality work, professionalism, attention to detail, and working by the book as far as codes, inspections, and permits. As well, Levi and Mark had to accomodate the choices and demands of two opinionated women (me and my daughter) on what we wanted. Spartan went above and beyond in so many ways, often working 7 days a week, and did extra things like bringing space heaters over when our furnace died, and helping keep our chickens warm in winter. There are many more projects we could embark on for our old house, and we will certainly have Spartan move forward when we are ready. After working on our old house for three years, I like to think they have a bit of affection for it! Thanks to Levi, Mark, Wendy, and all their excellent assistants and subcontractorsshow more

  When the earthquake hit we had extensive damage to our house. Almost everything needed some type of service. BJK came out quickly and accessed the damage and supplied us with a quote with what they could to. After seeing the pictures of past work we were confident in their abilities and hired them instead of the other 7 contractors we requested quotes from. The replaced 3000 sqft of flooring, replaced 11 doors, counter top, trim, subway tile, fire place tile and the list goes on. The work was impeccable. They were on schedule and the pricing was what we discussed. It was a very stressful time for us. BJK made it a much easier process. I highly recommend themshow more

  From the moment of setting up an appointment to having the work done, all was accomplished in a professional, knowledgeable and friendly way. I had four windows (big) and outside door done the first round starting with Jesse and Bobby, and two windows the second round, Brian, Jacob and Tyrone. Everyone from start to finish, including the ones in office setting up the appointments and job times, were excellent. They answered any questions I had and made sure everything met with my approval. And they do an excellent job of clean-up! I will definitely recommend this company and have more windows for them to work on in the future. I must add that this is a '60s log house and they made sure that the outside integrity of the home was not compromised by putting in the windows; they worked within the existing frames on the outside (other than the two egress windows I had to have, but they are on the backside of the house)show more

  As usual with Dave, the only problem was catching him at a time when he was not fully booked with other people's projects. When I could schedule him, he was here as promised and completed the job quickly and meticulously. Also, as usual, he fixed a completely different problem he had noticed in passing, without any charge or hassle, I think simply because something that isn't write irritates his sense of perfection. I have used Dave and his eponymous son repeatedly, and will have no problem using them for any and all projects I have in the future. They are worth waiting forshow more

  Jacob T and Tyrone D were our installers. They replaced my "working from home now" office windows and our kitchen window, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of work. Jacob and Tyrone were professional, respectful and clean-cleaning as they progressed including wiping surfaces with disinfectant wipes. They communicated regularly about the progress of the project. And they completed the project on time! We appreciate that everyone who came into our home was respectful of our health and our pets. This is our second experience with RBA, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. We will definitely use them in the future as we upgrade the rest of our windowsshow more

  What an amazing job! Our home looks transformed. The quality of work is absolutely stunning. The finance options, window selection, quality, workmanship, was more than expected. The work of Jacob T. and Nick B was done with complete care and respect for our home. They left our home cleaner than when they arrived. We couldn't be happier with the quality of work, the professionalism of the entire team, and the amazing windows! Thank you! We will be back for future needsshow more

  I just had my kitchen window replaced by installers Jacob T., Cody C., and Cornelius D. I couldn't be happier. They were very professional and competent, very pleasant, and wore their masks. Jacob wanted to make sure I was comfortable with them being in my home. He went above and beyond what was necessary with the job. I would recommend them without hesitationshow more

  I don't know where to start... so let's start with a vision. For years I imagined how my home would look and feel with new windows. It really needed them. I knew I wanted black frames, and I wanted quality so they would stand up to Alaska winters. I got a flyer from Renewal by Andersen in May and instead of tossing it, I made the phone call. Everything from start to finish was a great experience. Everyone one of my requests was considered and I got exactly what I wanted, including beautiful trim. Installers Jacob H and James M are amazing finish carpenters. These windows are beautiful. Everyone at Renewal by Andersen did a great job. Professional to be sure. If you are considering new windows, I recommend 100%. You will not regretshow more

  I loved the quality of work Jenson Construction did on my bedroom windows so much that I plan on having them replace the remaining old windows in my house in the near future.

  Great work from Dave as usual. We hire him once or twice a year for home projects and him and his son do great work. They pay attention to detail and care about the quality of their work. He's done a variety of work for us in the last few years and it's always been great.
