Get matched with top second story addition builders in Arlington, WA

"Friendly, competent and hardworking. Charged less than quoted after realizing the damage was not as serious as first suspected. Will hire again!"

"looks great!"

"I hired DB Construction to build my new home. First the quote purposely left out many thing that they could charge me for that I would have thought would be included, equipment needed, like truck and trailer, and excavating equipment. Plus the house quote did not quote a finished house, but just the shell with sheetrock, then everything else cost way more than a fair price. The build dragged on for about 20 months. Derek said it was the subs fault, but when I talked to the subs they had a different story. Derek was using the money I paid him for something other than my job. He said he had paid for things he had not even ordered, and when I needed them, they were not available. He was charging me for things he said he bought for my house ,but would not show me the bills. when I pushed and pushed I found that he had overcharge me on many things by adding more than a standard management markup and in some cases he charged me for things that I had already paid for. Now I'm dealing with two big issues, I have had calls from two subs saying they were getting ready to put a lien on my property for material that I paid Derek for in 2016 and they had not been paid by the end of 2017 yet. I keep trying to get Derek to provide me with lien releases for my project, but have not received them yet in 2018. I am also not getting DB Construction to fix the items I paid and they have not fixed the punch list yet. There is major cracking (1/4 inch) in many of the rooms where the roof trusses have shifted or sagged. Cracking and dropping of ceiling has caused my closet door not to close anymore. The Project is at least 1k over what it should have cost and the garage is not finished. I have had to hire someone else to finish the work. If you do decide to hire him for anything, be sure to get every detail in writing and definitely get a penalty in the contract for not completing on time. Since my project was over a year behind, and in fact never finished. Also lock down the management fee and what you will and won't pay for such as (drinking water, fixing their mistakes, tools or saw blades they need, and alway only hire him on a bid for the job, not time and material. Anything extra you want, get it in writing what it will cost and how much time it will add to the project. His worker are very nice, but don't expect to see Derek out at the project. He almost never visited the site of my project."
