Cascade Valley Construction

Was about a 2 day process and turned out well.

When they first came I was impressed by the the way that they presented themselves. Job was quoted by the hour, I thought that this would save me money but in the long run the job took longer than anticipated. Even though I told them not to do some of the work that we had originally agreed to. A piece of trim was cut wrong that lead to a window not getting finished. They did cut two hours from the bill but I thought it odd that they would not just get a new piece to finish the job. Before they left they asked me if I was happy and I said I was. It was later that I was seeing things that did not impress me on the quality of work. Some of that laminate from not snapped back together, a transition piece was installed broken, etc.

Another roofer installed a total new roof on my home 2 years ago. The first good rain the roof was leaking and for 2 years they could not seam find it. During those 2 years my home inside was being damaged by the water. I finally said no more and came on Angies list to find someone to help me and found Cascade Valley and boy am I glad I did. Mr. Yoney came out and gave me an estimate and I started sueing the other roofer. We settled out of court BUT Mr. Yoney started the work on my house before he knew any of that. They came and started with the roof and then finding all the damage under the shingles he repaired that. Then they came in the house and repaired the ceiling with new drywall and insulation, both walls beside sliding glass door with new drywall and insulation and found the sliding glass door had lost its seal caused from water damage and replaced that. Pulling back the rug they found the floor rotted and replaced that section also. All of this damage had also caused some mold which they also removed and repaired. You cannot tell where this repair started or ended. It looks like it never happened. If I ever need any kind of work done in the future I will certainly be calling Cascade Valley Construction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I canot praise the work,attitude and friendliness of his workers enough and how well they all work together. Mr. Yoney also makes frequent visits to inspect the work himself. Very friendly joking man also.

This is the second phase (after a year's break) of replacing the siding on my house. Thomas Yoney of Cascade Valley Construction was extremely accommodating in fitting this project in upon last minute confirmation from me that I wanted to go ahead. As usual, he appeared in person (always punctual) to provide an estimate and then always phoned ahead to notify me of the construction schedule . While the job was in progress, materials were stacked so as to minimize obstruction of the driveway and entry ways at all times. At the end of every day, debris was cleared up and tools/other equipment such as water hoses stored very neatly, and then at the end of the job, all fittings that had been uninstalled or anything of mine that had been moved were put back in place. I was a little worried that the new siding would not match the siding from phase 1 a year earlier, but the match is extremely good and the installation is very neat - such a big improvement in appearance, insulation and waterproofing! At the last minute, seeing that there was siding material left over, I decided that it would be optimal if an additional section of the house could be re-sided (around the double garage doors). Again Thomas was very accommodating and had his crew back on site a few days later to do this additional section. His crew were once again very efficient, friendly and accommodating of my territorial herding dog, which always wanted to greet them in the morning and then spend some time "supervising". I really appreciate the care and time that they put into the job in between much larger projects that they had in progress elsewhere, and felt confident leaving to work every day that the house was in good hands. It was also very helpful that the crew arrived at pretty much the same time every morning, and if there had been a few days break, there was always a phone call to say that they would be there the next morning. Overall, just a great experience once again, where I did not have to worry about the details!

Worked collaboratively with us to design a rather unusual front porch and walkway with concrete. Broke up and disposed of old concrete slab. Helped compensate for erosion underneath the main frame of the house that was discovered after removing the old slab. Built concrete framing and poured new slab. All workers came on time, worked diligently, were friendly, and cleaned up the site carefully after each step. The whole porch is much more beautiful than we ever thought we would have. Thomas was especially responsive to emails and phoned in questions.Even though our job was relatively small he treated us as if we were spending millions of dollars! We recommend them highly.

He came out and figured out what was wrong with the sprinkler system and then repaired it. He was very prompt, responsible, and did a good job. I believe we found him on Angie's List.

In January, we received notice from our tenants of three leaks in the house. After having roofers out on three occasions, we ascertained it was not a roofing issue but likely due to missing flashing or poorly installed windows and doors on the house. We subsequently had Thomas out to the house to inspect and recommend a course of action. We found him through Angie's List. From the very start, Thomas was kind, informative and scrupulously thorough. That was evident in my first conversation with him. He promptly (the next day) went to the house. At that point, we all thought it was some flashing that needed to be replaced but he gave the caveat that he would not be able to fully determine what was going on until he took the siding around the windows (that were leaking) off. It turned out that, once he took down the siding, the house had been built out of code and without any rain barrier behind the siding. Thus, large portions of the siding and framing were moldy and rotted. What started as a small repair quickly became a very large project. Thomas guided us through every step of the way, took pictures and emiled them each day, keeping us apprised of the work, aptly managed our expectations and made a nightmarish experience as good as it possibly could be. His work is beyond reproach and exceeded my expectations. He bent over backwards to work with our tenants and make the situation as easy as possible. It was clear he takes great pride in his workmanship and this shows in the quality of the work performed. We had a wonderful experience with Thomas and would work with him again and recommend him to anyone. I've never encountered a more responsive and communicative contractor. Above all, though, I felt he really CARED about us and our situation.

This was a small job, but we received million dollar attention from this company. The work was professional, high quality, and at an almost embarassingly low cost. They have a work ethic and attention to detail not often seen anymore. We recommend them without reservation.

Thomas and his team were excellent. Straight forward with the estimate. Also provided suggestions on solutions and ways to cut costs. Quality of work was very good and the guys took care to not leave a mess and do a thorough post-job clean up. Delivered on time and no surprises in the final cost.

We bought an older MH and knew the roof needed replacing. However, right after we closed on the home there was a downpour and we came into the home to find two skylights had leaked a great deal of water into the kitchen, living area and bathroom. I had already called Cascade Valley Construction to give an estimate on the roof repair. When the owner, Thomas, arrived and saw the problems we were having, he immediately got to work to stop our leakage that day. At that point he did not know whether we would use him to do the repairs or not. In fact he told me it didn't matter whether we used his firm for the roofing or not, he would stop our leak on this temporary basis until we made a decision. He did a great job with this. Thomas brought his crew to the site as soon as he got the necessary supplies and they worked for four straight days, sunup to sundown to strip and replace the roof and skylights. I really appreciated his crew. They were extremely courteous and were willing to do anything that needed to be done. We did have a couple of small accidents, a broken light fixture for instance, but everything has been repaired or replaced to my satisfaction. I need to state that although the amount I paid was above what we had originally thought, there was a great deal of plywood dry rot that had to be replaced so needless to say, it increased the final cost. If I had one complaint it would be that the cleanup of the property around the home was good but could have been better.

Job took longer than expect but quality of work preformed was exceptional.

This company is wonderful. I remolded an old storage bldg for an office at my home and Thomas came in and mud and taped the drywall for me. Thomas showed up Saturday morning at 8 am and did not stop working until after 10:00pm that night. He was back the next day to put the second coat on and finish up. Again he came around 8 am and did not leave until late. He used hot mud to do the job. I have a beautiful office today with his help.

He was very nice and very talkative. gave me a very porfessional itemized quote. I decided not to go with them because their price was a bit too high for me.

We contacted Tom on a Saturday after our son identified previously unrecognized water drip stains on the drywall beneath the skylight. Tom was in Vancouver that morning, but lucky for us, he was traveling down towards Albany and was willing to come by our house in Salem to inspect the skylight for leaks within 3 hours of my call. He quickly inspected the roof and the inside wallboard area and identified the water stains as condensation rather than being the result of a leak. He let me know the roof was generally in good shape and that the moss I had seen there was minimal and could be removed with a product I could buy from Home Depot for $10. He did not charge for the visit even though I offered to pay him for his help. But, not only that....as we talked about his background as a general contractor, I remembered the standing water in our crawl space over the past winter and I had been mildly paranoid about it as a problem. He traveled with me under the crawl space and educated me about the nature of the problem. The water was seeping from under the house due to the earth being saturated. He pointed out what I would be looking for if there was a foundation problem. Then he looked at the outside of the house's foundation and also found no problem. But, not only that...he took a look at the soil runoff from last year's rains due to a neighbor building a retaining wall, which redirected water towards our house. He told me how he would fix it and how a landscaper's plans to fix it would likely only fix the problem partially. He gave me a bid if I wanted him to perform the job, but also told me how I could do it if I was willing to do the labor. Tom was remarkable, generous with his time, and knowledgeable about his craft. I didn't pay him a dime for his time and effort, though would have been willing to do so for the peace of mind he offered me, as well as for the home maintenance education he provided. When the next project that turns up, I will absolutely call him first.

In August I noticed degradation of the siding on the upper storey of my split-level home. When I phoned Thomas Yoney of Cascade Valley Construction, he replied to my voice message the same day (a Thursday) and arranged to come to my house to assess the damage on Friday evening when I got home from work (6 pm). He arrived several minutes early, and spent time inspecting the siding of my entire house, not just the damaged section. He told me that despite the inevitably bad situation of having LP siding, the rest of the house siding (more protected) would not have to be replaced urgently if repainted on schedule next year. I really appreciate this, because it would have been more business and perhaps more cost-effective for him if he had recommended doing a larger portion of the house. Later that same evening I received a quote by email. After doing some background research for a week, I contacted Thomas and arranged for the work to be carried out in the second half of September. Thomas then stopped by my house on the Saturday before the work was due to begin to discuss details of power and access to the front of my house while they were working. When the construction crew arrived, they were very professional, friendly and tolerant of my dog, as well as the neighborhood cat that stayed on site all day every day apparently. They checked in with me every morning to ask if I had any questions. There were a couple of hiccups due to the nonstandard installation of windows etc. This necessitated that they have access to the inside of the house. They were very careful with everything in the rooms where they had to work, and always locked up the house when they were finished for the day. Instead of rushing to finish in the first week, they made sure that everything was done as well as possible, yet still finished earlier than I had originally thought they would. On the final day of work, they were careful to replace everything very neatly at the front of my house, and left no trace of their presence. Thomas again came by in the evening later in the week and took the time to review the work with me, answer questions and discuss what I wanted to do in future. I have had many comments from people in the neighborhood about the great new siding, and am looking forward to getting the next section done! I also anticipate asking Cascade Valley Construction to do other projects ranging from decking to interior remodeling.

Overall, this was a great experience and a good company to work with. They had a bit of a scheduling problem so the work was a couple of days late starting, but once going they were prompt, clean, friendly, and thorough. If there were problems we discussed the solution. They were effecient. It was a good experience and I would select them again for a building project. They are one of the better contractors I have worked with.

I trust him. I like him a lot. I think he's great.

Thomas was able to come in and provide a crew to repair extensive damages in a rental unit. Unfortunately, the extent of the damages prevented an accurate estimate and most of the work was done on "Time and Materials" basis. Thomas made every effort to find the best quality material at the best price - using discounts when ever available. He made every effort to meet dates, even when the weather took it's toll on travel conditions throughout the state. He maintained good control of his crew and assigned the numbers required to meet the deadline to get the property back into a condition where it could be rented. He even suggested that I contact my insurance company to see how much of the damage might be covered - a good recommendation since they did cover a portion of the cost.

After calling more than six plumbers in the area, Thomas was one of the few willing to come out on a Friday evening. The valve to our main water line was spraying water and we were afraid to let it go for even one more day. Thomas kept his word and was at our door in 30 minutes. It was apparent that after meeting Thomas we made a very good choice. He is very personable, takes pride in his work, and has a work ethic that seems to be rare these days. He repaired the valve in three hours and returned the next day when it was light to inspect his work and fill the hole at the work site. He even hosed down the tarp he piled dirt on and replaced my shovel (his was on his partners trailer) even though I insisted it was already cracked. We are pleased with the results.

My husband wanted to hire Thomas right after meeting him - even before seeing the estimate - because of Thomas' personality and obvious commitment to his work. The estimate was very reasonable. Thomas indicated that he could start anytime, at our convenience, and he did. He said he and his guys would show up at 8a on Tuesday, and they were there early. Everyone in the crew was very respectful, hard-working, helpful, courteous, and punctual. They offered to work around my husband and twins' sleeping schedules and helped me with things unrelated to the actual job, such as hauling in some used furniture I had bought. The impact on our lives was minimal considering the scope of the project. The entire work area was walled off with plastic sheeting, and waterproof floor paper was laid down to protect the entry way during the remodel. The work progressed according to schedule and was completed in the estimated time frame. Throughout the process, Thomas kept us apprised of what was going to happen and when. The room turned out great; it blends in seamlessly with the rest of the house and seems like it's always been there. After the job was done, we mentioned that our porch light was broken, and Thomas repaired it free of charge. It was such a pleasure working with Thomas and his crew - special thanks to Jay, Joe, Anthony, and Mark. This was the first remodel I've ever dealt with, and I was expecting a nightmare. Thanks to Thomas and his crew, it was actually an exciting and happy experience.

While the crew was working at our home, our hot water heater began to leak. Water seeped under the door of our furnace/storeroom and wet the carpet in our family room. Thomas' crew pitched in and helped us remove the many items we had in the store room, and extracted water from the carpet. Meanwhile, Thomas procured a new water heater for us and stayed late on a Friday evening installing it. We were very happy to have hot water over the weekend. On Monday, we noticed that the new water heater was defective and had begun to leak. Thomas brought out and installed another water heater and returned the defective one to the store. We were very impressed with the work done by Cascade Valley Construction. They were professional and courteous and went "beyond the call of duty".

The whole process was great. Thomas came to an Association meeting prior to starting the project to explain to all owners what was going to be done and answer any questions. Throughout the whole process all workers onsite were courteous to all home owners and worked with everyones schedule to get access to our balconies. Communication was great through the whole project. Whenever we had a question Thomas was available by phone and either him or one of his workers would check in daily about progress and what time we would expect them the next day. From the initial bid to the project completion every this was easy with Thomas and his crew at Cascade Valley Construction. We will definitely be calling them for all future projects around our condo building.

I could not have been more pleased with the experience. Thomas Yoney gave a cursorary inspection of the problem and knew exactly what the fix was. He cut me a deal on the materials as he had some in stock from a previous job. He was never anything other than friendly and professional. His crew showed up on time and I was billed for the time it took. A great experience overall. Cascade Valley Construction is where my next call will go.

Thomas is amazing. During the bid process he spent countless hours of his time going over the possible ways of building our patio cover. Thomas came up with a plan that would allow us to not only have a patio cover that matches the house perfectly but would be up to code so that if we wanted to turn the area into another living space we would just have to put up walls. The workmanship was flawless. Our house was built in the late 50's and the new patio addition blends into the rest of the house as if it was built during the time period. During the process of building Thomas spent time each day explaining the work he wanted to accomplish for the day and answered all questions even down to type of beams and brackets being used and why. Thomas also worked his schedule around my kids making sure he didn't start work until they were already up getting ready for school. Just one of the many steps he takes on his own accord to make sure the building process is a smooth and comfortable for your family. If your looking for someone who is a perfectionist and takes their profession as a craft and not a job you don't need to look any further than Thomas. I also have to add that his philosophy and work ethic transcends to his son and work crew as well who were professional and friendly. Thank you Thomas you made the whole experience fun and exciting.

We had Thomas over to check on an unusual mark on the interior wall, under our window. When we broke into the wall that's when we found water damage, dry rot, and mold. Upon investigation we came to the conclusion that the siding was improperly installed when the house was built, and would need to be replaced. Thomas used the best materials for the job, and anything we asked for we got, even if it set him back because the parts needed to be ordered. He kept us up to date with all that was happening at all times. When the old siding was removed we also found all the windows had been installed improperly. Thomas fixed all water damage, re-framed windows that needed it, and installed new ones. The insulation was of very low quality so he also removed and reinstalled a higher rated insulation for us. The original builders had installed plastic inside the walls directly behind the drywall. Thomas and his son removed this also. He reran our cable lines inside the walls for three of our rooms so that the outlets were on the correct sides of the room, thus eliminating exposed wires inside our home. Not only did he do a wonderful job on our home, he worked around our young children's schedules. They took a late lunch just so the girls could get their naps in; they started started late in the morning and worked through the hottest part of the summer days just so the girls wouldn't wake up to early to the sounds of construction. Thomas and his son Marc were a joy to work with. They are always upbeat and easy to talk to; they didn't mind taking extra time to explain what they were doing and why. By the end of the summer, and the end of the job, Thomas and Marc had not only become our go-to guys, but they felt like part of the family. My favorite memory is of Thomas replacing our back patio door and talking with our three year old who was giving him an all day lecture on all-things princess and Tinker bell. They also replace our fencing on the front of the house. It was in bad shape and Thomas found new panels on sale for us, then he built us a new gate also. The fence was done for us free of charge along with tile work in our kitchen to fix this back splash. They put in new window molding inside our house and it is gorgeous! Our house is now so much more solid our energy bills have already dropped. Not to mention it's the best looking home on the block! We had Cascade Valley Construction replace the siding on our house along with several other upgrades, which all turned out perfect. Thomas Yoney (and son Mark on this job) worked with us closely to make sure that we got exactly what we wanted, and we were very confident in their work throughout the entire process. These guys worked hard everyday and were really just nice to work with. We were very happy with Thomas’s craftsmanship and all of the precision he puts into his work, both inside and out. We will be going back to Cascade Valley Construction again for all future home improvements and repairs.,
