We are a small company with4-9 employees. Our focus is on new custom construction, kitchen and bath remodel, additons, concrete stamping and coloring and tiling. License and bonded subcontractors are used in new construction and major re-models. We offer free estimates, and prefer to work with our customers in all design work. We have an excellent line of reasonably priced cabinets and granite counter tops. We are customer oriented and aim to please.
"Our project was a home repair project. We contacted Paul Haugen Construction ,LLC, and met with Jared Lord the company owner. Based upon construction plans, he identified the work that needed to be completed and once we agreed to the work prepared a contract for the project to complete it in a timely manner. Jared agreed to serve as our General contractor on the project. The parameters for the project were to replace our current lower patio with a reinforced concrete slab, reconstruct the support structure that sat on the patios slab and supported an upper porch/ deck, replace a cathedral window wall, and replace the existing porch/deck railing and construct in its place a stainless wire/cedar railing system. The existing lower concrete patio had cracked which caused movement in the supports f9r the overall porch/deck support structure to move which in turn caused the glass window wall next to the upper porch/deck to crack. They needed to realign and replace the main window mullions holding large window panes, then work with the commercial glass subcontractor to ensure accurate pricing, ordering, and installation. Once structural plans for the project were completed by a structural engineer, we reviewed the Plans with the contractor. He spent a good deal of time reviewing the project plans with us to indicate how he would proceed with the project, making sure we understood the required work. Most importantly he explained how he and his crew would coordinate with us, and the work his team would perform, and the work to performed by the subcontractors. He went over the payment process and how he would make payment requests at several stages in the project. Once they started, we met his crew who were excellent to work with and kept us informed about the work as they went along. They also kept us informed all along the project and about any changes. The crew was very friendly and went out of their way to answer any questions we had. When on the job site they informed us of and any delays that we might expect. Jared also worked with our Insurance company to ensure the work met insurance requirement for covered portions of the work. We are very satisfied with the results of the project which remained within budget and gave our home more structural integrity and significantly improved the appearance ofvb the house. We have had nothing but compliments about the project. I would recommend Jared’s company to anyone who needed residential remodel or repair work. Total Project cost : $ 45,000.00"

My family has been in the construction industry for nearly 100 years in this state. I personally have nearly 30 years of hands on experience. I have lived in WA state my entire life, my wife and I currently live in Olympia WA. My goal is to give a very high quality of craftsmanship for a fair price. I take the utmost pride in my craftmanship. While I have a (206) area code cell phone number please know that we are local (98516) and live off of Johnson Point Road in East Olympia. Please look at my photos here on Angie's List and also look me up on Facebook under Vanderlip Construction to see more. Thank you and please keep me in mind for your next home remodel.
"Vanderlip Construction brought our ideas and vision to a reality on a master and guest bathroom remodel in our 1961 rambler. Eric is both an organized contractor and an experienced craftsman. He is a thoughtful and very responsive communicator who we could always count on to perform the tasks he scheduled throughout our project. He brought in very skilled team of subcontractors who he made sure didn’t disrupt our home life and office work activities. Eric was generous with sharing his expertise and insights that helped us make decisions on key details. We had about an 80 percent design and selected all the tile, fixtures, and custom cabinets but Eric’s attention to detail brought it all together, especially on our counters and master bath shower. Always patient and friendly, he wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the progression and the outcomes. He’s also committed to backing up his work. I suffered a serious leg injury after the remodel and Eric kindly went the extra step to come to our house and install a new light fixture in our bedroom. He scored an A+ on both bathrooms and we made a new friend."

Magnetrons burn out when their magnets crack, terminals overheat, or internal connections loosen. Excess heat does most of the damage, so make sure the vents stay clear and the unit has breathing room on all sides. Good airflow and routine cleaning go a long way toward keeping the magnetron alive.
Microwave diodes wear out after years of electrical stress or a sudden short. Telltale signs of a failed microwave diode include a loud hum or a sharp burning odor during a cycle. Catching those symptoms early and calling an appliance repair pro for replacement keeps the rest of the circuitry safe and the microwave heating properly.
Warning signs include no heat, sluggish cook times, sparks, odd noises, burning smells, or a unit that keeps running with the door open. A glitchy touchpad or a door that won’t latch also signals trouble. If the microwave is past its 10-year mark, those symptoms usually mean it’s time to repair or replace it.
It makes sense to fix a microwave if the repair costs less than a new unit and the appliance isn’t past its prime. Built-in or high-end models are good candidates for repair, while a budget countertop unit over 10 years old is usually cheaper to replace. Compare repair quotes with new‑purchase prices before you decide.
Wiping down the cavity weekly keeps grease from clogging vents and trapping heat around key parts. A quick steam‑clean with lemon, vinegar, or baking soda loosens stuck‑on food without harsh chemicals.
Sticking to a simple schedule reduces overheating, extends the microwave's lifespan, and helps it reach its full potential. Seeking advice from an appliance repair technician on maintenance tips can help you prolong the useful life of your microwave.
