Friendship Builders

Nathan remodeled our bathroom and did an outstanding job. We really cannot say enough good things about his work! He took the time before we were even under contract with him to speak with me on the phone to thoroughly answer my questions and explain the work that he would do. His excellent communication skills, both over the phone and text, were very much appreciated! Once he began work on our bathroom, he was punctual, pleasant, and hard-working and got our bathroom done in a very timely manner! We would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a remodel from a professional. 5 stars!!!

Excellent. Nate is fantastic to work with. He brings years of experience and knowledge to the table and really helped us decide between options and different materials. The end result was beautiful.

They were above and beyond. Nate worked with me and helped me decide on what we needed to do. He worked within my budget and I can't say enough about how great they were to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

They did an excellent job and were very professional. I would use them again.

It went very well. He replaced everything in our bathrooms. We were very happy with all of his work. He gave us suggestions on different details in our bathrooms to help us in the future. They were very professional and considerate of our family routine, and really. Friendship Builder is considerate, detail oriented, and very professional. I would recommend them.

Wonderful and ver reliable.Show up when they gonna be there . Work is perfect and no complaints.

He helped me make arrangements for everything I wanted to get done. He helped me find a cabinet builder and someone for the countertops, mirror and floors. Even though I was a little confused on what to do at first, he was great to work with and really helped explain things. He was very good about keeping in touch in regards to timing and when he would be arriving. He was even able to get the job done ahead of schedule and well within my requested time-frame.

He did a great job.

I was so happy with his service. He was fabulous! He picked up the project after the first provider was unable to complete it. He was within budget, prompt, punctual and professional. I have recommended him, used him, again and referred him to family.

Excellent, he worked around the family needs and completed the work in a timely fashion and it looks great

Scared to death to remodel your old bathroom!?! 
We sure were.  Looking back now that it is done, I wish we
had called Friendship Builders many years sooner and saved ourselves the grief!
Our over one hundred year old home has only one bathroom,
and it had not been remodeled in decades. 
We knew we needed an entire restoration, but were very afraid of what else
we would find needed repair once the demolition began.  One Contractor who bid the job would not give
hard numbers, would not list specific products he would use, and when asked
what happens when we find the unexpected, said it was all going to be on
us.  In contrast, Friendship builders?
bid was clear, easy to follow, it listed the scope of the project, all work to
be done, all products that were to be used, what the home owner would supply,
and a hard bottom line total that we could budget for and rely on.
The Owner Nate is the perfect combination of a great skilled
craftsman himself, who also has the respect of lots of tradesmen in town who do
things he prefers not to.  Thanks to
Nate, we also found our Electrician, who has since upgraded nearly our entire
home?s electrical system, and because Nate does not ask for a percentage of
that future work like many contractors would, you can get his tradesmen to do
additional work for you at the prices they would give other tradesmen, so we
got lots more electrical done than we hoped we could for the same expense.  We would recommend all his subcontractors.
Before the work began, I realized what I was really trying
to find was a competent Carpenter who would be honest if anything went wrong or
he found something bad, and who would stand behind his work and that of his
subcontractors.  The truth is, I knew I
had to trust the person to be honorable, to tear it all out gently, to build it
back correct, and not cut corners. 
Remembering the old adage that ?Fast, Cheap or Good, you only get 2 of
the 3? I wanted to find someone who takes pride in their work, so I did not
dicker about price, or squabble about when he could fit us in. 
We were happy to learn his price was reasonable, and he
dedicated his efforts to our house once he started the job, we felt he gave us
his undivided attention and was invested in getting it right for us.  Our bathroom needed everything redone, from
the studs up, and there were over a hundred small decisions we had to make to
get everything to match and look stunning, which Nate was more than helpful and
patient throughout, and it does look stunning beautiful.
After all those choices, we did have a few hiccups, but Nate
handled everything for us, returning the tub with a blemish happily, we had a
manufacturing defect in our window that caused him to have to undue and redo a
portion of his work, all of which he did to his uncompromising standards and
with a smile.  Turns out, the business
name is more than just a name, it?s a Mission Statement.  Thanks Nate, if I had more bathrooms, I?d ask
you to rebuild Every One.  Tell your
friends folks, there is still an honorable guy out there who won?t rip you off
or leave you hanging.  To a grey hair
like me, that means something.

We received three bids on the main bathroom, all from Angie's List providers. Nate came in at about the middle on price. What we liked about Nate was that he was easy to communicate with, meticulous, and friendly, so we went with his bid. We have been very pleased with his work. You can also add flexible to his positive attributes, because every project has its quirks, and he rolled with each individual wrinkle with grace. Being remodeling newbies, my wife and I weren't prepared for several aspects of the project, but Nate worked with us, and always communicated clearly. He would recommend materials at a range of prices, leaving choices with us, but if there was something he strongly recommended, he let us know.
Each project took approximately one month, give or take a few days. At times we each needed some scheduling flexibility, and that was fine. We are very pleased with the main bathroom, so we hired Nate again for the master bath. The 2nd project needed subcontractors, and they were just as great as Nate in both quality and friendliness. 
The main bathroom was a tub and shower combo. We had a marble top vanity from Costco we really liked, and Nate worked with that very well. For the master we went with the same style vanity, but with a double sink. Nate was flexible and helpful. If I could do everything over again, one thing I would do is be better prepared for design before working with Nate. We had no idea how to go into these projects, and while Nate was helpful with design aspects when we asked, I learned it's better to be design prepared going into the project. Another thing to be prepared for is that the cost listed above means that those costs involve some things that Nate purchased, for example, he basically chose the tub and the door for the shower. Nate is very clear about what is your purchase responsibility is, and what is his. None of these things represent an issue with Nate, only that you have awareness of how you might need to work with Nate.
We are very pleased in our experience with Friendship Builders (which is why we hired him twice), and would hire him again. We're pondering a kitchen remodel, and Nate would be on a short list to consider for that project.

To keep it short, he was wonderful. I would definitely hire him again and again. He is the epitomy of 'friendship', honesty, quality, true service, considerate - - couldn't ask for a better experience.

Our experience was excellent.. Nate's work was quick, affordable and very high quality - plus he he was friendly and professional. I'd happily recommend him, and would hire him again myself.
