Skinner Construction, Inc.

When I found out my existing drainage field was failing after a septic pump-out, I hired Mr. Skinner to install a brand new drainage field. Sam was awesome. From our first site visit until close out, Sam was responsive, polite, professional, not intrusive, communicated with me about what was going on, and I can't recommend him enough. Go with Skinner for septic projects! -Grady

Job well done

I am a remote landlord (property is in WA, I am in FL) and I had a septic system fail due to float issues in the 3rd tank. Sewage was backing up into lower floor (daylight basement) shower. NASTY!! I could not reach prior septic tech from a different company, and decided to go with Sam Skinner. I made the mistake of having a tenant manually turn on the pump in the 3rd tank, and he was supposed to turn it off after 30 minutes, but he got distracted and let it run all night. It pumped itself dry and burned out. Sam diagnosed my entire septic system as part of the service call, as I requested, and notified me of additional things I should plan for, e.g., ready to be pumped, and drain field pipes have some partial blockage, that should be cleaned out in the foreseeable future, and he supplied probe camera pictures showing the blockage. Sam identified the floats issue, fixed them, rerouting cords to not get hung up again, and tying them down properly. He also verified the pump had failed, and 3rd tank electrical box was having infiltration issues, so I had him replace both the pump and the box. Sam completed the work, sent me (remote landlord) pictures of the new pump and other items he had acquired to install. He completed the work same-day and I had a functioning septic system. He also improved the situation in the first two tanks during his diagnosis/inspection process. Sam was prompt, responsive, pleasant to work with, and highly knowledgeable about septic tanks and systems in general, and my setup in particular. I know more than I care to about septic systems, and Sam knew exactly how my setup worked and what was needed, and didn't try to BS me or talk down to me. He calibrated his communication quickly to my level of knowledge, just right. Sam was also prompt in getting out to the work site, and timely and clear in all his communication. I plan to use Sam for all my future septic system work at this property, aside from pumping the tank, which he doesn't do, but he was able to give me tips and contractor recommendations for the pumping. The cost was within reason; when is a septic repair like this ever "cheap"? I am satisfied that Sam provided good value for my money and he definitely solved my septic problem, and my tenants are happy there is no more poopy sewage backing up into the bottom floor shower stall. I give Sam Skinner Construction my highest recommendation for Septic System work and problem solving in Western Washington, aside from tank pumping, which of course he doesn't do.

Sam is very skilled and confident in his work. He had such a tight work space and complications hitting hard pan and demo on an unusually thick concrete patio. We so appreciated his willingness to answer all our questions along the way and he is just a really nice guy. Exactly the company youâ re looking for. Highly recommend!

Did a study for feasibility for septic. Excellent communication. Will be hiring them soon

Above and beyond customer service with a very competitive price.

Customer service and their communication is top notch.

Out of everyone who gave us quotes to replace a fence, Skinner Construction was the most professional and reasonably priced. He went out of his way to give us details and answer questions, did the work on schedule with no sudden cost increases, and left us with a fantastic looking fence. Will hire again for future projects.

Sam was very attentive to getting the job done right. Sam, and his crew worked hard to ensure we were completely satisfied with the project and the new fence turned out awesome.

Sam is great to work with very honest and hard worker.

Sam and his team were completely awesome. Great work great customer service. They did the job in a timely manner. Kept communication throughout the entire project! Honestly I will never go through anyone else but him from this day on!!! Thanks again Sam and team!!!

My wife and i are very happy with the cedar fence Skinner construction built for us. Sam was very helpful answering questions and concerns i had during the project and it turned even better than i had hoped. Excellent quality!

Sam Skinner, the owner is a joy to work with! He and his staff member replaced three gates for us and gave us 3gates that are better than the originals! At each step he checked with us to determine our preferences in design and function. He suggested a change in one that significantly improved the function. Skinner Constriction also added a rail to our deck so the wheelchair doesnâ t roll off. Itâ s strong and aesthetically pleasing and I can rest easy when the wheelchair is on the deck. Great quality work and wonderful people to work with. Skinner Construction gives you everything you could wish for to get the job done right!

We love the backyard fence Skinner Construction built for us. They did a terrific job. They were prompt, timely, courteous, and did great craftsmanship. I highly recommend them. We will hire them again when it is time to replace our decking.

I had several contractors come bid this job. Some never responded with the bid or came in ridiculously high. Same gave a very reasonable bid. This was a tricky repair and Sam and his crew did a great job. We now have a gazebo that should last for decades and itâ s extremely well put together.

They did an awesome job

Sam and his crews works hard on the project their attention to details shows on the finish product. Sam kept you inform thru out the entire process very courteous and professionalism. I will definitely hire them again for future project.

We needed to have several existing fence posts removed and then install new fence posts in different areas. We were asking for a very quick deadline for this project which made it a bit hard to locate someone who could complete the project in our timeline. Sam did not hesitate to take the project on. The only thing he warned us about was the possibility of not locating the posts quickly. But he did! Awesome job! Cleaned up after! Very professional and polite! We will definitely recommend Skinner Construction to others. Thank you!

When Sam asked me to write a review, I noticed he only had a "4.93" our of "5" rating. Just being me, I had to ding him on something although I can't think of any number of things that weren't done correctly. Sam's skill level and quality of workmanship is outstanding. He bent over backwards to make sure everything was done to my specifications. GREAT JOB!

Sam was great to work with. He came to our house quite a few times, to make sure we were all on the same page. We re super picky and wanted the perfect fence for our new home. He sent over several designs and always gave us his opinion. He was more than willing to answer any questions we had. The fence was installed in a few days, which surprised me. We have a dog, and 2 kids, so a fence is a must. So happy to see them running around the backyard in just a few short days. We were more than pleased to see the finished project. Looks great, and we would definitely recommend him to others.

Sam is very professional. He is respectful and he keeps you informed on when work begins and ends and communicates any issues throughout the job. He was also very clean on the job site with materials and such.

Very good communication.

We trusted Sam Skinner s work performance/ethics and did not track his work days; however he kept us abreast of construction details.

Outstanding company. I would recommend to anyone. Excellent at communicating, fair pricing, timely in getting the project done, clean, and flawless execution of the project.
