Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Issaquah, WA

"I came up with some initial drawings for Pete and his architect to give them an idea of what we wanted. After some back and forth with them, we were able to settle on a floor plan very close to our imagined ideas. Pete's crew headed up by Oscar was very professional. Even though the work on the house was a major undertaking, they were able to create a temporary plywood wall in one of the old bedrooms so that during most of the project we had enough bedrooms for our kids. This was huge. As far as subcontractors go, there were a few issues with flaky people, but Pete was able to deal with them/replace them as needed and we were able to get the entire inside portion of the project done by our deadline (before the baby was here). Honestly I think this was mainly due to the boom in the housing market so there is more work than contractors to go around. There was a little outside siding work to wrap up at the end, but we were alright with that since it could happen really anytime without affecting us inside. Pete was also happy to use our painter in the project. We'd used a painter previously that we were very happy with and wanted to use him again, so Pete was ok with this. He had his own guy give us an estimate (which actually was less than our guy was charging), but we ended up using our own. Pete was fine with this - which I really appreciated. We're very happy with the finished product. The new part of our house is in perfect character with the rest of our house both inside and outside. From the outside, you'd never know we have an addition except that the scale of the house is now much grander than before. From the inside, everything flows exactly as we'd hoped, the finishes all match the rest of the house and we have sooo much more space now. We now have enough space that we'll never need to move unless we want to. Also, the new covered deck area is absolutely awesome. We now have a 3-season room that we use all the time. It's fantastic. We made the deck a separate project (the main house addition work was finished in mid-winter, so we waited 'til the summer to do the deck). I got a few bids, for this work - none of the deck companies would put up walls under the overhang the way we wanted, and Pete was able to match them on price while also doing the screen walls. We got vinyl windows that I found online delivered from an east-cost provider and he was able to integrate those into this project, which was great to have it all done by a single contractor. It gives us another ~150 sq ft of living space that we can use for most of the year and I absolutely love it. Budget-wise, we stayed right on point. Pete gave us an itemized price list for all the work, including finishing allowances, to be done from the outset and we stayed within a few percentage points of this throughout the project. We even picked up some finishing materials on our own to save a bit (we got some tile from Costco when they had a sale, other tile from Home Depot that was on closeout - saved several hundred bucks that way). Finally - and this is absolutely key - Pete 100% stands behind his work. We had a few minor issues (totally expected on a project this size) and he always had them resolved quickly. Example, very recently, we had a problem with the backing starting to show through on the mirror in the new bathroom. I called him, he came out and looked at it within a few days. There was no argument needed, Pete just said 'yup, we'll take care of that'. So he ordered the replacement glass, and we now have a replacement mirror installed. This all happened within a couple weeks, with absolutely no headache on our part. This is something that is extremely hard to find. Because of the great service - we plan on hiring Pete again to do a Master Bathroom remodel in a couple years. I'd suggest you do the same!"

"We hired Vic and his team to replace a gas range with electric. This task was complicated by the need to upgrade our electrical panel and run new cables to support the new range. We also needed to cap off the old gas line and repair and paint drywall. They made sure that everything was up to code (including correcting an existing problem they found with grounding) pulled the required permit and arranged for inspection of the completed work. We were impressed by their professionalism throughout. As well as doing quality work they also were very careful to protect our home and clean up once complete. We were very pleased with the finished job and would definitely hire them again."

"Vic Steiner is honest, experienced, meticulous yet practical. He is a problem solver and his skills are many. He has worked on numerous projects for us, all of which have been done to high standards. He approaches each project as if it were for his own home. Here are some of the projects he has accomplished for us, or for close neighbors: kitchen remodel, bath remodel, flooring (both installation and refinishing) , basement renovation, outdoor work (decking, outdoor lighting, fencing, brickwork, paths). He generally works alone, and if a project is too ambitious for him (it rarely is) he will honestly decline it. He avoids traffic by arriving mid morning and leaving later in the day than most contractors. We give him our very strongest recommendation."

"We have had the pleasure of working with **** since 2011, and over the years he has completed several projects for us that have spanned large complex remodels, new construction, and major structural repairs. The reason we have **** and Johnson Custom Builders as our sole resource for construction projects is due to his process for comprehensive planning and estimation, project management, attention to detail, project schedule integrity, excellent subcontractors, quality of outcome, his personal involvement in every detail-- and that he is incredibly pleasant to work with! We have dealt with many contractors and custom builders over the years, and **** and Johnson Custom Builders are the hands down the best."

"Great experience with a skilled contractor. Would 100% hire for another home remodeling project."

"work was flawless, 4.5 hours, but the buyer will not recognize the repairs, I was very impressed, very detailed about the work. Another gentleman was sent to re-insulated and belly bonded and worked on the crawlspace, next day came back to take pictures and bought materials for the left side of the house, rebuild it with wood beams and concrete post. 3rd day, bought new screen cover for the air vents around the house, about 8 to 10 of them. I was very pleased with their work."

"He is a great contractor. He’s considerate , knowledgeable & his prices are good. We plan to use him again for a kitchen remodel soon."

"Ballard McFarlane of GMG Construction is an amazing Contractor. He generated awesome ideas, his respectful and clean team showed up every day, they finished my project on time, and even came in under bid! His amazing communication skills helped me resolve several problems with the contractor that did work before him. It seemed like he and his team were always going the extra mile. I found Ballard because of his incredible reviews and I hope to leave him my own. I wish I had known about Ballard McFarlane / GMG Construction earlier! Thanks so much Ballard, Jane and team!"
