Get matched with top contractors in Orcas, WA

"We spent a great deal of time and energy (four rounds of interviews) researching contractors to help us remodel the home we had just bought, and we chose Burlingame Contracting. Our project was significant because we not only wanted to completely remodel both of our bathrooms but we also needed demolition and structural work, removing and adding walls, windows, skylights, plumbing, electrical and roof work.   We had very specific design ideas and a detailed parts list (different kinds of floor and wall tiles, imported lighting, large soaking tub, fixtures, etc.) and a limited amount of space, so we really needed to find someone who was flexible enough in their skill-set to get things done how we wanted them and who could communicate extremely well as there were tons of small design decisions that needed to be made along the way. Paul really came through for us. Not only did he create what we had imagined, he reliably offered improvement ideas and structural suggestions as he was working on the project. There were things that there was no way for us to know about in advance and, without Paul's forward thinking, we might have ended up with something beautiful that didn't last. His work looks good and feels solid and we trust it.   Paul often told me that he was afraid he would "bug me" too much with questions and thoughts. As someone who has been through the remodel process in the past, this was music to my ears. And Paul was true to his word, contacting us whenever he had a question, texting us pictures, explaining options and issues, and consistently letting us know where he was at with regard to the project. We also very much appreciated his willingness to take time out of his weekend to meet with us weekly at the house to go over his progress and review details in person, as we were still living in the Seattle area.   In terms of the work quality, it is excellent! Every time I walk into one of the bathrooms, I feel as though I've entered a beautiful hotel, suited just to my tastes. The only downside is that Paul’s work is so nice it now makes us want to have him update the rest of the house as well!   Paul has good attention to detail and we appreciated his experience and workmanship. He has good subs and suppliers and manages them well. He is easy to work with, has a good sense of humor, and really ensured that he understood what we had in mind and did a fantastic job making it real."

"Everything went well and Phil was very easy to work with. They redesigned the deck a bit to give it a more open look below. Phil had some ideas giving it a little more modern look that we liked. It was quite a challenge to take out 18 tons of cement but the crew handled it very well. The only real delay on the project was the sub-contractor for the railing and gutter system that put us back about two weeks. Phil's team could be counted on to be on-site when they said they would. The quality of work from Phil's group and sub-contractors was very good. Attached are some photos to get a feel for the work."

"Robert is a personable and responsive manager. His open, kind, and friendly attitude with both customers and contractors makes him an asset to his business."

"Very well they were very responsible and paid attention to detail - sought my opinion when needed"

"The service was great. It was good. they were honest and reliable."

"I made a mistake and didn't realize the company didn't actually come to the home, but did the consultation over the phone with photos."

"She was fine. We were working long distance and communication took place via phone and email. I would not ever hire someone long distance again for design work unless I see something on their website that is exactly what I like. She was very responsive though and she provided us with pictures of sample furniture and physical designs. I gave her a 'B' because she didn’t take a lot of time to customize the plan to our style. I expected her to adapt to our style, but instead she tried to make our living room fit her style. She seems to have a look that is her style and we actually asked her re-do the plan a few times before we got something usable. In the end, she is very good at what she does and she is very professional, but her design style doesn’t fit our way of living."

"Jason at Avalon made sure that the work was completed and that I was satisfied. He was EXTREMELY responsive and all of our interactions were friendly and professional. Can't ask for more in a contractor!"

"He was a great worker, reliable, always showed up and great at work"

"They did a lot of work in 4 days , they were very fairly priced for the quality of work done."
