"expedient towards handling my issues and concerns produced quality work and hired them as my general contractor for other phases of my building project"
"John and the crew are exceptional! We continue to use Optimum because they do exactly what they say they will and do it the right way. We received the highest quality paint job at a fair price."
"Eric has worked with us for the last three years. We find his work, small jobs to big jobs, to be very high quality, with great attention to detail. We will always call Erik for projects around our house."
"They did a great job. They completed the job in just two days. They were incredibly friendly and polite. They were very respectful in our place. They care about their work."
We are thankful for the referral to Jim Fisher of Billionfold Paint Co. We originally hired him to paint the interior of our recently acquired Sunriver condo which was built in 1971. He helped us with so much more than paint. He was like having 5 contractors in one. If he could not do something, he found us someone who could. We used him, or one of his associates, to paint the entire interior of our condo ( including stripping an extensive stubborn wallpaper border), installing all new flooring (tile), new granite tile countertops in kitchen and bathroom, refinished older louvre closet doors, constructing an original wood frame for a mirror in the entry that matched the trim on the front door, installed new bathroom exhaust fans, installed a new dining chandelier, shoveled snow from our roof, etc, etc. We appreciated his design opinion. He had excellent follow up. He was meticulous. After any of his associates worked in our condo he inspected every detail. If he felt that one of his associates missed even a minor detail, he insisted on making it perfect. Besides the fact that his work was excellent and reasonably priced, he was trustworthy, reliable, extremely punctual, and after working in our condo, he left it cleaner than when he started! His associates were clean and polite. He responded quickly to emails and phone calls. You truly to not find contractors with this much integrity anymore. Jim Fisher is one in a "billion".
"Zach did a fantastic job replacing old doors and installing wainscoting in my home. His price was very reasonable compared to others and the finished job looked great! Zach is a skilled professional and his work is a testament to that."
"NW Builders & Renovation gets my highest rating. Max M coordinated my roofing job and was very profession, personable, with great attention to detail. Max was willing to hear me, address my needs, and come up with best solutions. I also want to mention the crew. They did a wonderful job, they were respectful of my home, tidied up every day, left the job site very clean, and were also respectful of my neighbors. NW Builders is a company that stand behind their product and work. They show pride in their work from start to finish, and beyond. They offer quality products and workmanship with an exceptional outcome. My roof is beautiful. I'm confident it is installed to last. I am a very happy customer and I highly recommend NW Builders & Renovation."
"I had a great experience with Bar T Bar. John is clearly very knowledgeable about all things home improvement and is super fair / honest. I appreciated that I was kept in the loop throughout the entire project. John and Mark were very professional and they stayed right on budget and right on time. Very impressed with them overall and I can’t wait to reach out again for our next project!!"
"We did almost the entire house through Paul. Some of his workmanship - especially the fine details like small paint splatter, garage floor epoxy coat application, and cabinet painting - was 3 stars at first. Other work he did - installing new plumbing fixtures, bathtub sliding doors, sheet metal exhaust for kitchen - were 5 stars. Paul consistently worked to get it right and make me happy. He was always responsive and available. His attitude is 5 starts. He was open about his costs. Some things dragged on but most remodel contractors suffer from this ailment. Because of the scarcity of tradesmen in Bend/Central Oregon, I recommend learning the history about his subcontractors before they start work on your house. Most were good but a couple did not have the right experience."
Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.
