"NW Outdoor Living and Landscapes recently completed a backyard and patio project at our home in Northwest Portland. We wanted to take the time to let you know how happy we are with the amazing work the team did and the excellent customer service we received. The project was fairly extensive; including replacing and extending the existing patio, renovating our pond and water feature, upgrading the retaining wall, screening our hot tub and adding outdoor lighting. From start to finish we really felt that you and your team provided excellent service. You presented us with a clear timeline and budget for the project and this was exactly what was delivered. Throughout the process, we felt that everyone remained very responsive, open to our questions and flexible with minor changes. The project finished on time and the quality of work was really great. We are very excited about the results and cannot wait to begin putting the area to use this summer with friends and family. Thank you to you and your awesome team and we will certainly spread the positive word about your company."

"Three months ago my father, who thru fifty years of marriage and home ownership had dealt with repairs himself or been the one to do the hiring if a contractor was needed, was diagnosed with dementia. He had to be abruptly placed into a care facility. My mother was emotional and overwhelmed to say the least. Walking through the house, I could see how his health had indeed been slipping: home repairs were started but not finished, areas of upkeep and home maintenance he always stayed on top of in the past had been left to fall into disarray. One of these unfinished repairs was the laundry room washtub. My mother said it had a backed up drain. I could see the piping beneath it was in pieces and that my father had started but never finished repairing it. I found Pacific Crest Plumbing and was immediately impressed. The woman I spoke to on the phone said the owner Nick liked to speak with the customers himself. He would be in touch with me about my project and scheduling. Sure enough, Nick called me back within a few minutes. He could not have been nicer and more understanding of the situation. He asked that I take a few clear pictures, then send them to him so he could provide an estimate over the phone rather than having to charge me to drive out to the house and do a diagnosis. After looking through the pictures, Nick told me exactly what he would recommend doing to repair the tub. He provided written estimates that included both snaking the drain, and not snaking the drain, since I told him I was unsure if my father had done that part of the project yet already. He was able to get us schedule the very next day. I cannot say enough nice things about Nick or Pacific Crest Plumbing."

"This is the second time I hired them since they did a good job the first time when I had my deck replaced with pavers. The problem I have with them is that the workers do not know how to plant plants. several of the of plants died. I had to replant at least 5 plants. When I was replanting (one blew out of its hole on a windy day) I found that they only dug the holes just big enough for the plant to fit then plopped the plant in. They were very sickly looking until I replanted. Also, a friend of mine just recently used them to re-do pavers, she had her dogs come in stinking of poo. She then found a spot behind her shed where one of the workers pooped and left their wipes right there. They could have at least buried it or put it in a bag to put in the garbage. Needless to say it ended up being a job of cleaning 3 dogs and the mess itself."

"We needed out front yard landscaped, but we were on a budget. The owner met with us and worked within our budget to create what is now a wonderful looking front yard. From the first phone call to completion of the project took about two weeks. They are professional, courteous and I would definitely work with them again, and recommend to friends."

"After meeting and getting quotes from 6 other contractors we felt most confident and comfortable choosing Cretec Concrete. Spencer was very prompt meeting with us and delivered a quote the next business day. We knew aster discussing our needs his company would be the right fit. Our project consisted of a complete demolition of existing concrete patio, removal of grass and regrading the area to accommodate a new drainage channel. Our new patio is over 1400 square feet that is colored and stamped. It is exactly what we were looking for maybe even better than our expectations! Spencer and his crew were very friendly and professional. They completed the job in even less time than we anticipated. We would definitely hire Cretec Concrete for any future concrete needs"

"I decided to do the minimum necessary myself.  It was a lot of work.  If I were planning to live in the home I would have gone with the full package of repairs.

"Very well. Michael arrived early, went right to work, pinpointed the two problems and made the repairs expertly. Very pleasant and professional service."

"He arrived early to evaluate the project. Took samples of the soil and decommissioned the tank after the results were received. My soil was clean so he had to clean out the tank and fill it. I got a certification stating that the oil tank was decommissioned. He left the area clean. No problems at all.

"We hired Jason to do a big job made necessary by flooding in our crawlspace. We needed grading done and drains installed to get water away from the house.
Things started out really well, and Jason seemed to really know what he was doing. I love his knowledge of native plants (though I was promised a list of what he put in and where, and have still not received this). For the most part he did a wonderful job transforming our yard into a more functional and beautiful space, though we had struggles with a paver patio, which to his credit, he did rebuild, albeit incorrectly/incompletely. 
The real problems were in the follow through. Jason became more and more difficult to get a hold of as problems arose towards the end of the installation. At one point, the email I had been using to correspond with him for months suddenly and unexpectedly started to deposit messages in his junk folder, and it was only after a pushy letter from my wife that he finally popped a reply. He made a point during the contracting phase to say that he will always stand behind his work even though it is only technically guaranteed for 1 year. This may be true, if you can get a hold of him after he has decided that he is done with his work. He did come back to rebuild our paver patio as mentioned above (due to mistakes on his part), and each time the rebuild was sloppier and sloppier. I stopped asking him back for this, afraid of what the next evolution may look like. 
On a separate but related note, We also generated referrals for him with our neighbors, who ended up hiring him to do a large job in their back yard.  They reported some of the same problems with communication and follow through, and that job was ultimately not completed. They were smarter than I was and did not pay him until the job was done. Very upsetting as this made me look bad since it was my recommendation that lead them to hire Jason.
Id say that he made it about 70-75% of the way to "complete." Unfortunately, I payed him 100%. I will be rebuilding our paver patio next summer, or paying someone else as the grade is still wrong and water ends up pooling by the house (which is the entire reason we hired him in the first place).
Im really disappointed with how things turned out mostly because I really wanted to like Jason, but Im not sure I could trust him to hire him again. This is especially true for hardscaping."

"It was fantastic. They did excellent. They've done lot of painting. I've seen them painted houses and they've done excellent work. Very professional."
