"I had DH West Coast Construction remove and replace the double front doors. They arrived at 0930 and finished by 01600. They were very professional and kept the construction area clean. They are highly recommended by this home owner."
"Richard is professional, cordial, and experienced. I appreciate his willingness to take on a small project (replacing old countertops with new laminate and tile backsplash) with as much professional attention as bigger projects. He's also good about advising what kinds of materials fit the age of the house, keeping what I'd call the historical integrity in mind. They work efficiently and quickly, checking with me as questions arose. The kitchen and outdoor "workshop" areas were tidied up at the end of the day. I worked with other contractors on a big project (significant repairs after a huge tree fell on my house six years ago) and that was an awful experience including overcharging, non-existent change orders, lack of communication, and, ultimately, poor workmanship. Richard and Trimco have re-established my faith in his profession. Trimco is a great small company! I recommend them with no reservations at all and look forward to having them do other projects for me in the future."
"While I did not hire this company ultimately, I remained very impressed that they came to the site fully prepared (they did a ton of research on my property) and were ready to go day one had we chosen to go with them. In the end, we only decided to go with another contractor due to their existing familiarity with the current neighborhood we were in however, Empirevue are a top notch professional company judging by our initial interaction and I will be reaching out to them again for our other projects"
"John did a complete remodel of our master bathroom and added on a closet for us. His experience showed through the whole remodel! He had great design ideas and helped walk us through all our decisions. We also appreciated his attention to details, All while finishing the big project in a timely mater. 10/10 recommend for any project!"
"Contractors have great communication flexibility and overall great customer service. I was indeed satisfied with the work they provided to get the dream job done."
"Great experience. We purchased fixtures, flooring/tile and lights in advance to minimize any downtime. Good work, very reasonable, and easy to get along with."
"Excellent! Phenomenal contractor!! You cannot beat his prices! Plus he does some in house financing, so you don’t have to put off projects ❤️ in our economy he makes it possible for people to get things done, I highly, highly recommend Chris!"
