I do not show any records that we gave an estimate for this home. We are a small company based out of Vancouver WA.

We had a leak from one of our windows to the ceiling. However, a previous attempt had been unsuccessful. Alan Laffley's team did a good job to address it quickly by replacing the soggy window sill that was suspected to cause the problem. Unfortunately, the leak was back and he was prompt in tarping it till the Portland weather improved long enough to do a long term fix. We decided to address this properly by completely replacing the siding and also ensure that there were no other water damage issue. All along the process, Alan and his team were very responsive and had my interest and concerns in mind.
Description of Work: Metro construction first replaced a window ledge and caulking to address the source of a suspected leak. When that it did not work, they tarped and with a break in weather (several months later), replaced the siding to permanently fix the problem.

Description of Work: We had an addition done about 13 years ago. There was a small dip in the floor leading into the new kitchen. Over time, the dip extended the whole length of the addition. Then in the past 2 years, the ceiling cracked and started to seperate. I kept saying "the addition is going to fall off the house." I just didn't feel comfortable with it. Made calls to other contractors and it seemed to be a project no one wanted to handle. I called Metro and finally got someone willing to look at it. I remember asking Justin if he was going to go under the house and in the attic. He came prepared and they did just that. The floor was attached poorly and the ceiling-well after looking at the plans of the original conctract (which we commissioned on our own) there was a real important part missing. That was the structural beam !!! Pretty important and yes one or the other was due to fail. Thank God for these guys-we are so grateful. They added the upper structural beam, did work to shore up the floor--we are talking about 14 feet. They did the drywall, redid the floor in the bathroom and got rid of the lumps and dips and we added the ceiling texture and painting on the whole addition plus the family room. They put up with us still living here as all the drywall, tape & tecture is usually done with the homeowners gone. They did a fantastic job and now I FINALLY feel SAFE. The crew was wonderful and we would highly recommend them. It's so much harder to come in and fix someone else's mistakes, but they did it.

Christmas day we were dealing with water dripping from the top of a bathroom window onto the wood window sill below. I contacted Metro after getting their name from a window company. Alan, their estimator, called me within an hour, came out the next day and had a crew here the following day. Everyone I dealt with was professional, courteous and the work was thoroughly done. When Cody discovered addition damage on another window Alan was back out quickly to estimate the additional cost of work. Job totally completed by 2 PM that day. Fully guaranteed. I will call them again when we deal with any kind of damage or repairs. Extremely satisfied and I'm a picky customer.
Description of Work: We had water leaking around a window that was never properly installed. Flashing above window was missing. No trim around window so a 3" border was cut from Hardy plank surrounding the window. Tyvek was taped down (also missing), Flashing installed and windows trimmed out with matching wood on the rest of the house, sealed and caulked.

Overall things went fine. The house was empty so having to work around the weather wasn't a problem. Cory told me he would try not to paint the external sills when rain was due because the paint tends to run. Unfortunately, the weather prediction was not helpful and the last two sills did run onto the aluminum siding. Cory was very apologetic and did his best to remedy the situation. There are unfortunately some discolored areas left on the siding, particularly under one window. We are still working to make it better but I was especially impressed with Justin and Cory's work to remedy a bad situation.
Description of Work: Metro was recommended to me to replace four exterior window sills on my house. They had to work around the fall rain so it took a while. But they did a good job. The lath and plaster pulled away around one window but the drywall repair and paint match looked great. They also painted the outside sills.

We had a large family room with a gas fireplace surrounded by granite tile. Never liked the look of the tile, and had a difficult time arranging furniture to either face the television or the fireplace. Decided to lower the fireplace to the floor so we could mount the television above it. The finished product is exactly what we wanted. Metro's cabinet maker was easy to work with and does beautiful work at a fair price. This is the third time we have used Metro Construction and we have been pleased each time.
Description of Work: We had our old gas fireplace and tile removed, with the opening lowered to the floor. Had a new fireplace delivered and installed. Then had bookshelves built- in on both sides, including a new mantel, and the television mounted above the fireplace. Had a shallow recessed opening set in the wall behind the t.v. so the wires would be hidden and the t.v. would look flush on the wall. Had new tile installed around the fireplace and on the floor as a hearth. Installed new can lights to accent the cabinets, had a new ceiling fan installed, and the carpet replaced.
