We are a family owned & locally operated general construction / remodel company with over 60 combined years in the industry. Although we are general contractors and can do everything, we specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling. We have found that through proper communication and great listening our customers are more at ease and comfortable from beginning to end. It is our pleasure to provide top service in design assistance, material decisions, planning, demo and project completion. We go out of our way to uniquely tailor our service to each of our customers needs, wants and desires. We realize our customers invite us into their homes to provide the best service possible and we don't stop until we have done our best to help our customers turn their dreams into a reality. Thank you kindly for taking the time to look into Johnson and Sons Construction, LLC. We look forward to the opportunity to serve!

"I reached out to Johnson & Sons and several other contractors to discuss the possibility of opening up and completely remodeling my kitchen and bathrooms, with the addition of a shower to the former half bath off the master suite. After receiving bids and meeting with each contractor, I went with Johnson & Sons due to the transparency and consideration Vic Johnson showed when discussing the project and its challenges, as well as providing a detailed quote. Because this remodel involved the removal of walls, tiling of the kitchen/bathrooms, potential size constraints, and a re-plumbing of the house, It was very important for me that things be done correctly, to code and with permits. Once demo and construction started, things proceeded at a brisk pace with minimal lag between subcontractors, and inspections. Their tile guy, Tony was great to work with and very helpful with making the appropriate detail selections around the showers. We did have a long wait for a cosmetic piece of cabinet siding, which ended up being the final part needed to complete the project. Vic was direct with me about the issue and the delay. Such a minor issue is in my opinion, very small potatoes compared to having quality work done. Ultimately, Johnson & Sons came in slightly under their contract price - a very pleasant and welcome surprise."

Current Super Service Award Winner for 2019 seven years running! Johnson Custom Builders is a Design Builder. Our approach is simple. It all starts with listening. We work closely with our clients to understand everything from their needs to their design preferences. Then we go to work helping them exceed their goals. www.johnsoncustombuilders.com Our process is completely transparent. Our estimates are designed to provide realistic expectations not best-case scenarios. For us, communication is key and we keep you completely informed every step of the way communicating in a way that helps you anticipate and act to effectively engineer the best possible solutions every step of the way. At Johnson Custom Builders our approach is never just about managing timelines and budgets its about delivering on promises and helping you realize dreams. One look at a Johnson Custom build and you'll immediately understand why so many discriminating customers recommend us to their friends looking for a higher level of customized home building. It's not just about the attention to detail or use of the highest-quality materials or even the custom-crafted details. It's about the personalization. Personalization that comes from a builder that not only knows how to listen but also how to anticipate, communicate and most of all deliver on a promise. A native of Kirkland, Washington, founder Ryan Johnson shares the same core values as the community he has always called home: Integrity, Honesty and Originality. He's been actively designing, building and remodeling homes in the area for over 25 years. And in that time, he has earned a stellar reputation for providing outstanding results crafted with uncompromising integrity and quality. Hes also earned a reputation for delivering on his promises. A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) !

"Ryan and his crew did a great job building out Car Port. From the first time we talked to a completed project was about 6 or 7 weeks. He and his crew were very professional and, came on time, and exceeded my expectations with respect to the quality, time to finish, etc. Ryan also collaborated with another team of professionals that were contracted to place Solar Pannels onto the Car Port that was just completed. He made sure that all of their requirements and spec were addressed while building the Car Port. THANK YOU Ryan and Co!"

"Larry took on the incredibly ambitious project of renovating our 1914 Craftsman home, repainting the exterior, expanding the primary bathroom, refinishing floors, decking, stairwells, expanding and updating the kitchen, updating electrical and heating systems to modern standards, and so much more.The project is almost complete, but we were so excited that we wanted to write the review anyway! Throughout the process, Larry and his crew worked tirelessly to get things done, always focusing on quality and making sure we were happy with the work. Even partway through the project, neighbors were already commenting on how much they loved his color choices, and how much he and his crew cared about the project. Even given how large the project was, Larry and his crew tackled it head-on and got it done; he really brought out what made this home so special to us. We're really happy to have had the chance to work with Larry, and are really appreciating how wonderful our new home is thanks to him and his crew."

I am an Owner Operator with 39 continuous years in the construction field and 19 years in business as Vic Steiner Carpentry. Over these years as an employee of other construction companies and being self employed, I have mastered all of the trades that are involved in residential remodeling and perform all of the work myself. I will present a firm bid in a contract, including sales tax and payment schedule. Attached to the contract is a very detailed Work Specifications list that specifies every detail of the work I am bidding on. I am listed with Washington State as a certified Lead Paint Renovator and certified in Wedi tile substrate installation. Pictures of work I have done and a list of references are available on my web site at vicsteinercarpentry.com

"Vic does amazing finish work! The overall project went well and Vic worked with us to totally revamp our bathroom while helping us find the right level of customization to meet our budget. Vic was easy to work with and you can tell that he takes pride in his work. I would whole heartedly recommend Vic for any bathroom projects!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Call a foundation repair pro to replace a rotted support beam. Your contractor will likely install temporary support to the area while replacing the beam with new wood or steel. Load-bearing elements of your home—such as the horizontal beams that run along your floors, walls, roof, and ceilings—should be inspected by a trained structural engineer. Call these experts the moment you detect rot, water damage, or foundation issues in your home. 

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

If you’re considering buying a home with known termite damage, you can negotiate with the seller to lower the costs of the house. They might be able to make the damage repairs before handing over the keys or lower the asking price before the deal is agreed upon. It’s vital though that even if you’re winning the negotiation, a home inspection contingency might be a good idea in case of future issues.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Neglecting to repair or replace a sagging floor can expose you to the risk of injury and your home to serious structural damage. When sagging floors are caused by termites, water damage, or weak foundations, holding off on completing the work can lead to a more costly repair bill as the problem can worsen over time.
