McClincy's

The job went very smoothly. The owner as well as all of the workers were exceptionally cooperative as well as attentive to our needs.

Years ago before becoming an Angie's List member, I had sewer backup in a rental, I hired Mclincy's by word of mouth through my handyman to avoid a lawsuit, this was a horrible tenant always finding ways to sue a landlord. They did do a thorough cleanup job which included sanitizing the entire area, approx. 750 SF basement. They also cutted out parts of the contaminated drywall and carpet which cost more money to repaired later. This is an expensive cleaning crew! The first thing they asked for was my credit card to make sure I paid them. I hope it doesn't happen again, knowing what they do now, I'd shop around for someone less expensive.

They didn't even start on my house for 3 months. I decided to settle with insurance and McClincy's said the work they did was my fault for not letting them get more money from the insurance. The floor was put in and there is one board with scars on it that wasn't filled in with wax so my socks snag on it. The told the insurance that they would do three coats of paint, (primer + 2 coats). What I received was no primer and one coat even though they charged the insurance. The cabinets they installed were damaged and marked up and they intended on leaving them as is until I pointed out where they were broken. They even tried to repair damaged cabinets when I was told they would replace them. I got in a fight with the supervisor over replacing a certain section of base wall trim and he ensured me he would take care of me and do it right with one piece. Needless to say, it is currently in two pieces. They charged me for porta potty that never arrived and for supervisor hours that were never spent at my house. They even charged me for dealing with the bank and they never even spoke to the bank... I did. I had to hold their hands through the entire process to make sure things were done correctly. I finally got my house back after six months and 3 weeks of that was my family living out of a hotel miles away. I got soooo tired of them and their work that I handed him the final check and closed the door. Things are still not done, but it is things that I can do or touch up. Don't ever use them. They are con artists and trick you into contract with them. smooth talkers but shady work all around.

So far so good. I paid the cost of the deal. It was good, he was informative and I'm waiting on his official plan but he gave me ideas on what was possible. I heard their name locally.

It totally felt like a bait and switch-just get me to pay the $69 so I feel obligated to continue to work with them. It is impossible for him to give me an estimate if I have not chosen the materials so his visit to the home was a waste of his time and mine. I am underwhelmed.

To date I have not received the bid or any communication from them and will not proceed with this project with them.

It was great having someone as experienced as McClincy's in our corner when dealing with the insurance adjustor. They also walked us through the process of getting everything paid for. It took a total of 5 months to complete the work but our house is gorgeous now and definitely no smoke smell. Watching everything in our house get thrown away or packed up and then stripped down was difficult. Jon and Danny were continually available to answer questions and take care of details. We even got help with picking out decor and colors and it all came together beautifully. The lost items were detailed in a list which made submitting to the insurance for reimbursement much easier. Moving back in went smoothly as every box was moved back to the room it had come out of and all other items put back to where they were before. McClincy's oversaw the removal of our piano, clocks, electronics and clothing. Each company performed the cleanup well and brought back to the house in great condition.

After all was done I noticed some of the unsatisfactory workmanship. Flooring and plumbing was right on. The problem was with the workers doing the rest of the work. They added a window. The window went in well but the finishing was poor. The tiling around the whole bathtub was set fine but the grouting was inconsistent and now that is a cause for continual attention for mold and mildew control. Final caulking was marginal.

McClincy's came to my home without my knowledge, expecting me to sign a contract with them right away. I could sense that he was very angry that I didn't want to sign the contract. They also advised me not to contact my insurance company. Something just didn't seem right about the way he was running his business, so I decided not to use them.

Tim McClincy is amazing! His enthusiasm for the work he does combined with years of experience made our lives and the house so much better. He worked hard to make sure that we understood the processes and that the plans for the updates were exactly what we wanted. Tim's suggestions were valuable in making the new materials look good with what we already had in the house for an overall feeling of harmony in the spaces.Tim's showroom in Renton is a great place to get ideas and compare actual products. He has his own stone inventory and tools for making countertops at his business location and stands behind his work. The workers were knowledgeable and professional. They were on schedule and cleaned up all debris from their activity when they left each day.

Our upstairs toilet overflowed late evening, water soaked the upstairs carpeting, and leaked through the floor, coming out of canned lights in the downstairs hall way below. We managed to shut off the water, dry up most of the mess, and telephoned a few companies 1st thing in the morning - around 9am. We reached McClincy's, and they had their water remediation specialist at our house by 9:20. They immediately tested to let us know where water had seeped, removed the counter top, toilet and flooring from our bathroom, set up equipment to dry out the water both upstairs and downstairs, in addition, the owner stopped by to review the damage, and let my husband and I know the necessary steps to clean up the damage. They worked directly with our insurance company as well. Once satisfied the water was removed, we worked with Randy to replace the flooring, a countertop and choose paint to repair the bathroom damage. In addition, because water had seeped through the downstairs ceiling, they replaced the canned lighting, removed and replaced the drywall, and repainted the entire downstairs great room, as it was all one color and open concept. They were professional and quick, the entire process took about 2-1/2 weeks, primarily because we opted to pay a bit more and upgrade the bath room flooring which had to be ordered. I would definitely use them again.

Another great experience with the McClincy's team. Randy our project manager was excellent to work with and we got exactly what we wanted for a fair price. We know, as we compared their services with other remodelers.

We were so amazed at the McClincy organization. The pure professionalism and knowledge of restoration after our home was damaged due to frozen pipes was the best. Tim, the owner and his team was superb " a true man of his word". The workmanship, friendliness and overall customer service was terrrific. They took special care when packing and storing our items and always kept us informed of their progres, as we had to relocate our family to a hotel while they were working. We did some upgrades with them and love our new kitchen. We liked that they had a showroom so we could pick out our materials. We have found a place to shop for all our home improvement needs.

It was a horrible experience with this company. They stopped work; they demanded payment from the insurance company, while we were stuck in a hotel. It was poor project management. I would say stay away from this company if you have water damage. Our piano was ruined because they didn’t professionally move/store it. While they were fixing things, they were breaking other things. They make you sign a contract prior and the fine print says if you cancel the project, you are liable for the whole thing so you are stuck with them through the entire project. The workers themselves were great; it was the project manager and the owner that were awful.

Contacted them to come out to give estimate, came out about a week later, measured area, called next day with estimate. Estimate was more than what we wanted to spend.

The entire restoration process went great. This is the second time we have used McClincy's for wood floor refinishing. Both times they have been prompt, professional and matched the flooring well. Great attention to detail down to getting all paint needed in case they needed to do retouching of any areas.

They worked with our insurance company and they were excellent. We wanted somebody that was close by and professional. I had a baby shower planned and they said they would get it done before the shower. They had it done the day before.

We are extremely pleased with the outcome of each project. This represents the fifth job we have completed with McClincy's over the past five years. The reason we keep coming back to McClincy's is based on several reasons beyond quality of work. McClincy's does what it says they are going to do, their workers are polite, clean-up and if anything isn't right they make it right. We have recommended McClincy's to several close friends and they have received the same excellent service and quality of work. What separates McClincy's from other home contractors is that they deliver a high quality of experience.

They did a good job and cleaned up after themselves. They were on time too and I was happy with the overall service they provided.

Our kitchen pipe broke on a Sunday afternoon, and they were out to inspect and start the drying process by Sunday evening. Very impressive given this was the Sunday after the Jan floods. They had the blowdryers in there Sunday evening. The recovery process takes several weeks. Joe, our primary worker for the job, was very good and very kind and considerate. The quality of the work was high. Communication on next steps throughout the project was sketchy. We would have to call a couple of times to find out what was going on and what would happen next. I chalk some of that up to they were very busy helping Jan flood victims. The office manager/accounts person was not good. She called two days after the project ended to find out why we were "late" in paying. Apparently, we were supposed to forward the insurance check as soon as we got it. No one bothered to tell us that. We were waiting for them to bill us. She was quite snippy with me. I had signed the final paperwork. My boyfriend's name is on the insurance policy and he was supposed to sign. Again, we didn't know that and made arrangements for him to sign when we were told. But she was rather rude to me on the phone. The quaility of the work was great and the workmen were super nice. But they need to improve their communication on the work's progress and how payment and paper signing should go.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB. THEY GOT THE JOB DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. AND DID A GREAT JOB ON THE SEAMS AND ON THE BOARDER. I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY HIRE THEM AGAIN TO INSTALL A NEW CARPET.

I LEFT A KEY FOR THE WORKERS, THEY CAME FIRST WITH BLOWERS TO DRY THE WOOD FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN THEY CAME BACK TO RIP OUT AND REPLACE THE WOOD. THE WORK WAS WONDERFUL.
