DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL!!!! Here is my story (the story apparently the owner was not concerned with). My brand new Samsung dishwasher died on 1/6/14. I called Samsung and placed a warranty service request. They told me NW Appliance (from this point on referred to as NWA) would respond between 8-12 on Wednesday 1/8. At approximately 11AM on 1/8 I called NWA to see if someone was en route. I was told the call was cancelled by Samsung?! The lady who answered the phone, Debbie, said it was possible that the call was not accepted in the allotted time frame because she was off the day before and the owner's wife has no idea how to deal with warranty calls. However they could respond on Thursday, 1/9 if Samsung agreed. I called Samsung back, Samsung had no record of cancelling the call (hmm?) and said NWA was still the assigned contractor. Thursday a young technician from NWA responded, he huffed and puffed and made annoying comments about having to pull the entire dishwasher out from the wall (something I had not complained about until now...I work in the industrial service industry and this is completely unprofessional, but I just wanted the repair done). Turns out to be a cracked drain line (this caused the drain pump to constantly run, no leaks, just running motor) and said the part would be between 1-2 weeks out? Really? Later that same night, I washed the dishes, ran the disposal, reached under the sink for more soap and found water and food debris all over! The technician did such a sloppy job that he left the drain line off and everything that went down the sink was now under my sink! It was a mess! I called and complained that night and the next day I received sort of an apology from the tech.....the tech was rather embarrassed. Later that same afternoon, Thursday, 1/9, Samsung called to check on the quality of service I received...so I filled them in on everything to date. They said it was ridiculous that I should have to wait 1-2 weeks for a new drain line and that they would call NWA to tell them to ask for it overnight. Later I called NWA to confirm that had happened, they told me it would not be shipped overnight because they don't work Saturdays, so the part would arrive Monday 1/13. I said I understood and that if the part arrived Monday, then I could expect them out on Tuesday 1/14? Debbie agreed. I received no call on Monday to schedule service, I called NWA around 4 PM and was told Debbie was gone, no way to reach her and the woman I spoke with had no clue how to schedule or if the part had even come in...she could NOT even check!? Instead she told ME to call back Tuesday...I said no, I should not have to call and babysit you, NWA should call me in the morning and tell me what is going on. By 10AM the following day, 1/14, I still had not heard from Debbie so I called. She said the part had not arrived, did not know if it was sent overnight and NEVER agreed to come out on Tuesday as we discussed. She did say when UPS delivered their parts she would check to see if it arrived and call me back….when she called me back, she said the part was not there and was in Portland OR and she did not know when it would arrive. About an hour later I called Samsung to see if there was anything they could do to help. They understood my concerns and have been more than happy to help…apparently the drain line, which should have been ordered to ship overnight on 1/9 is not scheduled to arrive now until late 1/15 – 6 days later! Samsung and I agreed to wait and see if NWA called me by noon on Thursday 1/16 (as Debbie at NWA promised to Samsung). Roughly 15 min after that call to Samsung, Tracy O'Brien, the owner of NWA called me. I was pleased he called and was expecting him to apologize for all of the issues and run around I have had with his staff…instead he insulted me, curse at me and said they were sick on my constant follow up to my service call with him. I quietly listened to him and when I started to reply, he cut me off and said he did not want to hear it….and he said he had just decided he no longer wanted to repair my dishwasher. He continued to berate and belittle me, I asked if I could respond and talk to him, he said no, he didn't want to hear anything I had to say and continued. So I did what any person would do when faced with such rudeness and unprofessionalism…I hung up on him. I have called Samsung back, they are aware of the issues and Samsung is sharing it with their Procurement and the Contracts Administrator.
I now have a new company who actually seems very eager to assist me, has called me to schedule my service call sooner than originally scheduled and voluntarily told me they would also call the day before to confirm service and when they are 30 min out.
Having spent over 15 years working in the service industry as an Account Manager and Sales for major accounts such as Hilton, Sears and commercial highrise buildings, just to name a few; I can tell you communication is where customer service starts. Yes, technicians and office staff make mistakes and get sloppy, but you NEVER CALL A CUSTOMER TO BELITTLE AND BERATE THEM FOR YOUR COMPANY'S POOR JOB.
I realize NWA makes very little money doing warranty work for manufacturers, but they do the work as a way to introduce their company to the end consumer in hopes that sometime down the road when that consumer has a problem that is not covered under warranty, you, the consumer, will call them back. My husband and I will never, ever call NWA for anything. In fact we have already made certain our friends are aware of this company and avoid them. Very foolish business decision NWA....did you forget you live in a very small community?
If you want no communication, no follow-up and lousy, sloppy service then NWA is your company.
UPDATE ON NORTHWEST APPLIANCE AS OF JANUARY 17, 2014 - Not only is this company rude and has absolutely no follow up or communication skills; but their technicians are incompetent! Turns out my problem was not a "cracked" drain line (which is now shredded courtesy of how their technician shoved it back into the wall)....but it was a bad sensor! Thank goodness a company who knows what they are doing came out....if NWA had continued on the problem would still be going on! Good Riddance Northwest Appliance!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/id/priest-river/northwest-appliance-heating-and-air-conditioning-reviews-4898086.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Precision builders international inc.","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MT","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Willow C."},"reviewBody":"Called for an estimate.

Mitchell recently transformed our old and tired looking concrete patio with artful stain work and a durable sealer. The project was completed promptly and competitively priced. We found Mitchell to be honest, knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend you talk to...

Contractor did not honor his Bid .of$2400 for concrete pad and sidewalk beside the house. Due to the need to get the job done before hot tub is delivered I settled for $2000 for patio only. When project was done the employees put extra concrete in the common area and covered it up with bark...

The crew of 4 got right to it and removed the trees by climbing in them and cutting back the limbs and trunk foot by foot... using ropes. This was delicate because the two trees were 4 ft from a block wall and a pool fence and hung over a pool. It was not a job to saw off the limbs and have...

Andrew Kerr's staff is excellent. We've had his company stain our backyard fence. Now we had him power wash our brick wall leading down the driveway. We liked the work SO much we had his guys come back to do the same for our brick patio. Excellent work.

"We were looking for someone to pour a large patio slab and it's always a roll of the dice when looking for reliable and competent craftsman today. We wanted someone who who was honest (of course), who knew what to do, and how to do it, and communicated reliably. Logan was all of that AND polite, easy to deal with, punctual (and texted if he was going to be delayed), just a good all around human being. We will be calling him again soon to have another job done by him. Better book him soon before the word gets out and the wait times get long."

"I cannot recommend Founders Contracting highly enough! There are a lot of skilled contractors out there who do outstanding work. Once in a while you'll find a contractor who is also a good communicator and returns phone calls and emails. And occasionally you'll find a contractor with great prices who finishes on time and on budget. But it is rare indeed to find all these important qualities in one person, which is the case with Joseph Beatrice, the owner of Founders Contracting. Joseph converted a large walk-in closet into a bathroom for our home in Whitefish and completed the task on time, UNDER budget, and with attention to detail that demonstrates his pride in his craft. His quoted price was lower than other quotes we received, and he actually completed the project UNDER budget due to some negotiating he did with the City of Whitefish, as well as some electrical work that required less effort than anticipated. Joseph is truly the most business capable, customer-centric contractor we have ever worked with. He works seamlessly with subcontractors when necessary, and takes great care with meticulous finish work. The results are fantastic."

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Bigfork, MT
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
