Overall a good experience. We hired ACS to take down and rebuild a brick pillar supporting our front porch. Gary's crew was excellent. Although they only spoke Spanish they were helpful and did a good job communicating as much as they could about what they were doing and/or had done. We're very happy with the end product. Gary stayed true to his quote and the contract price. The project was more involved than I expected, but they came through and completed it on budget. My only complaint is that Gary was hard to get a hold of at times.

Gary was very easy to work with, and very flexible about doing even small jobs. We're already planning to do some more work with him.

Gary put a bathroom and kitchen onto my one room studio to create a small living space. Gary was very easy to work with, he explained everything he was doing, he was accomodating to my requests, he was on time and respectful. If there was any issue he immediately responded and made changes to meet my needs. He stayed within the budget I outlined. His employees were freindly and skilled, easy to work with. I would definately hire him again.

Gary is a commensurate professional. Also, he surrounds himself with a team that is responsive, diligent, and quite fun to be around. I would absolutely hire him again.

We hired ACS to put in a new bathroom in our basement. After interviewing several contractors, we chose Gary because he was honest and straightforward and we felt we could trust him right off the bat. He didn't let us down! Our project took a little longer than expected but Gary was considerate in keeping us updated on delays and timelines. Gary's crew was consistently respectful of our home and privacy. Our project turned out so much better than I had expected considering the small space that they had to work with. The bathroom is both beautiful and functional. One of the biggest things that I appreciated about ACS was the way the price their projects. They are not paid by the hour, but rather gave us a quote for the entire project from start to finish. We ended only a couple hundred dollars over the original estimate and that was solely due to some upgrades that we opted for. We will absolutely use ACS in the future and look forward to working with them on our next project!
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"We were able to turn a 6x6 pantry into a well laid out 3/4 bath with smart design. This customer was impressed with the ideas and advice to maximize utility of the space. Although it took longer than planned due to shipping and wrong materials sent by supplier the customer was happy with the communication and progress once the materials arrived."

I hired ACS to complete a closet remodel which entailed cutting into the wall to open up the closet, and adding new sliding doors. Gary was easy to schedule with for both the initial meeting and getting the work done. His crew was done in 1 day with the project and it looks fantastic. He was able to find some very pretty fir doors that make the room look even better. I would highly recommend using ACS.

There was a little trouble with scheduling- they kept rescheduling, twice I waited and they didn't show up but it was fine and it worked out and they did a good job and I think it was something to do with the material.

I hired ACS-Seattle, llc to install an underground drainage system and to replace a couple of ineffective downspouts. I also had an old concrete pathway resurfaced with new concrete. The second phase of this project was to repair the chimney, caulking the cracks on both sides of it to prevent water intrusion. ACS-Seattle's chief operations architect maintained communication with me during the project to answer any questions I had. This resulted in customer satisfaction. I would recommend ACS-Seattle to anyone who needs repair or construction work done. The price was right and I am very satisfied.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"Our expertise and experience in foundation and water intrusion will give this client peace of mind knowing her brick chimney will not continue to pull away from her home. We employ licensed engineers to aid in assessing the ground conditions so we can make the proper corrections. This customer was pleased with the continued communication and responsiveness of our project manager and field staff."

My experience with ACS was positive from beginning to end. I wanted to divide my garage into two spaces: a workshop and a pantry area. Gary (the owner) stopped by to talk with me about the project. He asked great questions and listened closely to understand what I was trying to accomplish. He generated a detailed estimate on the spot, and said that his crew could complete the work the very next day. The crew was friendly and efficient and the project turned out great. When I noticed that they had forgotten to include a couple of outlets that we had discussed, Gary sent one of his guys the very next day to take care of it.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"This project required several trades to complete and we were able to finish the transformation of this garage to a pantry/workshop complete with proper lighting and power in one day. Customer is happy with his new space and sturdy work bench fitted to his liking."

Below average framing and drywall finish. Sometime.did not show-up on days or times promised. Little to no quality control or supervision of "union" works. Seemed more interested in getting paid than quality of work.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"As you can see,from the overwhelming number of 4-5star reviews, we strive to make all customers happy. Some customers you just cannot make happy no matter how hard you try. This customer changed their mind several times during the process which required rescheduling the drywall subcontractors, causing delays. They delayed our work and later changed their mind and would not pay for the additional work. Any flaws were corrected as is normal in drywall work, customer decided to micromanage each day even before we had a chance to correct the work. Very difficult to work with plans that are not accurate and changes to work in mid stream."

Gary and the crew were a great pleasure working with. IWhen we need other work in the future Gary will be getting a call.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"This was an unusually over-built foundation and took longer than expected to remove the concrete. Even with this unexpected obstacle we continued with the project and advised the clients of the additional time it would take to complete. In the end they were happy with the level of care we took to make sure they were happy with the outcome. Egress windows are a cost effective way to add additional bedrooms to your home."

professional. personable. affordable.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"This basement bathroom addition project involved critical excavation work over 6 feet deep. In addition we completed exterior framing, windows, roofing and siding to help this client get to the interior phases he wanted to perform himself. Our wide range of in house skills allow us to tailor your contract to maximize your construction budget while saving you money for portions you may want to do yourself. He also appreciated the additional advice we gave to help him with the overall scope of the project."

Gary & his crews are great to work with. Really knowledgable, down to earth & personable.....and all at a fair cost :)
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"Although only asked to look at foundation, our in house wide range of services enabled this client to use us to excavate, frame, roof, install windows and doors, install exterior trim and deck, insulation, drywall and painting. This saved him the time and frustration of hiring several trades to complete his project. After proving our capabilities in the exterior phases, this client enlisted us to help him complete the interior work, enabling him to complete the project much faster so his family can enjoy the new space. Having our crews perform the larger tasks of your addition will allow you to complete your project on time and on budget"

Did the best he could with a post-and pier foundation.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"We installed seismic connectors to two 1908 post and pier foundation buildings. Satisfied with the price, quality, and service, he has since hired us to do the same for another building. We continue to do more work as he needs. Currently we are restoring the exterior of the Victorian which we repaired the foundation. Our deep knowledge in all aspects of construction makes us a good resource for all phases of repairs from foundation to finish work."

I contacted this contractor late at night via email. The next morning, he replied to my email, followed up with a phone call and a visit to my front yard to assess the site. It turned out that he had his equipment staged a couple of blocks away at another project, and would be wrapped up with that by early afternoon. He would be able to swing by my place afterward. When he arrived, it took only 20 minutes to do the job ( remove 14 basalt landscaping boulders). He did a great job and was able to coordinate his time and equipment between two projects with skill. What I had been planning for over a year took only 20 minutes to complete.

The overall experience was great. Gary and his team were always on time and the job (once started due to weather delays) was done in the time frame that I was given. Gary and his team are very professional and courteous and the finished product looks great. I'm very happy with the decision I made to hire ACS and will (and have already) recommend them to friends and would gladly use their service again myself one day.

Gary and his team did a great job installing new windows on our house in Ballard. Initially Gary estimated two days for the project, but brought in extra staff in order to complete it in one day. The crew was well-mannered and had good attention to detail. He did a good job showing us where we could save money on the project without compromising quality, and threw in a repair to our siding that was a concern to me for basically nothing. I appreciated the prompt and detailed communication, including detailed proposals and updates by email. The price of the job was exactly as quoted. A pleasure to work with and I highly recommend.

Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"This home was in danger of sliding down the cliff as it sits on a steep sandy lot. 18 pin piles and 5 helical anchor tiebacks were installed to stop the movement. We installed a new foundation inside the existing off level foundation to eliminate the need to demolish the home. Homeowner was happy we saved the home and pleased with the quick pace of the work. Our expertise in foundation repairs and execution of the project earned us this project and future recommendations from another satisfied customer. Don't take chances -choose ACS Seattle if you want the best professionals for critical foundation repairs to your home."

Gary has diversified experience in a lot of areas. We ended up postponing the concrete work in favor of replacing single-pane windows with low-e, double pane. And we were glad we did once the weather turned frigid. Everything fit very well. We had to do some minor paint touch ups, but for the most part, it was a successful job and his crew was fast and accurate.
Response from ACS - Seattle, LLC
"Another example of our expertise in a wide variety of home remodeling. The window replacement would provide immediate return of their investment as the weather changed. This customer was impressed as we replaced three large windows in one day. Painters followed up with the touch ups. We will be helping them with excavation,grading,concrete walkways and stair replacement. Our experienced crew average over 10 years with our company and are part of our family. Being both professional and courteous, our crew are often missed by homeowners after we complete an extensive project."
