Artisan Design Build Inc

Description of Work: Nothing. Failed to show up for 2 appointments.

Description of Work: Artisan gave us a bid for the remodel of our 2 condos. They installed cabinets in the kitchen, installed flooring throughout the condo and framed in doorways. They did a great job and were on time with the work done and very professional. I would use them again for other remodels.

Description of Work: Artisan did some remodeling and repair job around my house.

Description of Work: Replacement of large aluminum windows (garden window) in our kitchen area. This entailed pulling out the old windows/frames, and re-framing, re-glazing with some interior and exterior finish work. The windows were @ 80 x 80 and included a 2 foot section of the roof in a 'garden' style. There had been some wearing away around the frame and some minor water damage to the wood frame.

Description of Work: Remodel on bathroom. Very professional. Bill and Jackie are a top notch team. Old fashion business ethics and service.

Description of Work: Early in 2008 my wife and I were contemplating a remodel of the kitchen in our late 70s tri-level in Kent, Wa. We thought of a number of configurations and possibly even an addition. In February we went to the Seattle Home Show and talked with a number of designers/contractors including Artisan Design Build Inc. In the summer we had several of the contact come out to talk with us and provide us their designs and estimate. We were astonished at how unprofessional some of these companies were who represented themselves among the elite in their business. (Just to let you know, we aren't new to remodels or additions. In 2003 we added on a 2,4oo square foot addition that it wasn't a great experience and was extremely delayed. Enter Bill Rowe of Artisan Design Build Inc. He came in and ask about our needs, requirements, budget and general family lifestyle. We discussed several options and he returned with two designs. One within our current house structure and one with a ten foot addition to the back of our main floor. With slight modifications, we decided on the 250 square foot addition, and work commence in early September, 2008 and since we always have a large Thanksgiving, Bill promised the work would be complete by then. For your information, this addition project required full build work including demolition, excavation, foundation framing, trusses, roofing plumbing, electrical, HVAC, sheetrock, floors, cabinets, finishing, painting, etc. The complete package. Bill at Artisan Design Build Inc. and his subs handled it all extremely well and professionally. He even handled the demanding Kent building inspectors with special consideration and obvious respect. His wife, Jackie, assisted us in choosing the granite (3 slabs and over 90 square feet installed), the cabinets (27 boxes and 74 linear feet) and heated flooring (over 445 square feet). The extra 250 square feet allowed us to not only get our dream kitchen with 2 eating bars but larger living and dining rooms as well.

Description of Work: I have had work done by Artisan Design Build on three seperate occasions from 1999 to 2009. I'm sorry that I no longer remember the amounts paid for these jobs but they were always very reasonable. Although there was one lower and three higher bids for the first job, I chose Artisan Design Build because they so clearly had a much better grasp of the design problems and solutions. I have never been sorry. The first job was removing a chronically leaking (and many times unsuccessfully repaired) glass ceiling and turning it into a plastered ceiling without leaks. I added some other incidental projects during the job as I saw how good they were. The next job came several years later and consisted of reworkng the roof of an underground garage where there was landscaping on top of the roof. We gave them the house key, went on vacation, and said see you when the job is done. There is no other company of any type that I trust enough to do that. When we got home, the job was done perfectly. The third job was several years after that and involved re-doing decks which had developed dry rot. For this job, Artisan came on an emergency basis the day after I called them to prop up the decks. Because our house painter noticed the problem only a few weeks before he was scheduled to paint, and repair needed to be done before painting could begin, we had to get going fast. I didn't have time to bid out this job and just asked Artisan for a ballpark figure because we weren't sure exactly how much trouble we would find when we got the area totally exposed. I know they will never pad the bill or cheat me. I have never done this with any other company and never would because you are setting yourself up for trouble, except with Artisan. The final bill was below the estimate. Artisan's job was done in time for the painters to get their painting done on schedule before our daughter's wedding. Atrisan Design Build has uniformly done an outstanding job of fine craftsmanship with reliable and professional workers at a very fair price. The company owners, as well as everyone who works for them, are a joy to work with. They accommodate special needs (such as making sure our indoor cat never escaped). They even sent a bouquet of flowers when my father died during the first project in 1999. They are easy to talk to and they listen to your ideas. If a suggestion I made wasn't wise, they explained why and how to achieve what I wanted in a safe and sound way. (I wish our architect, when we first built the house in 1976, had told me not to put in a glass ceiling set in wood beams or build a composition roof over the garage and then landscape over it. Artisan Design Build would have told me a better way to go in the first place, if they had been around then, and then I would have never needed them to fix up the bad design.) I have never had a single problem with Artisan. I did with many other contractors who tried to fix leaks before.
