"Pete and his crew gutted our kitchen and bathroom. Designed new kitchen layout, moved sink and gas stove location, installed new drywall, electrical, recessed lights in kitchen and living room, new counter tops, new plumbing to gorgeous apron sink with disposal, tile floors, subway tile backsplash in kitchen, subway tile in bathtub surround, new windows installed in kitchen and bathroom, new bathtub installed, new cabinets, installed appliances, and pendant lights, expanded the entry to the kitchen, and added support to a structural beam that spanned that entryway. It went fantastic! We bonded with Pete immediately. He is such a great guy and genuinely cares about his work and his client's happiness. We have a 1945 cape cod style home that had a very outdated and oddly shaped kitchen, and a bathroom with rotting drywall and a full size window in the shower (God knows why). Pete gave us the bid for labor only and gave us an estimate on material costs. We worked it out to be exactly to our budget. We liked paying for materials separately because it allowed us to control costs and not pay any mark-up a contractor may have added. Once we accepted Pete's bid he and his guys were able to start within 10 days or so. Project Start: Like most projects, the demo went quickly. His guys were extremely clean and took great care to make sure dust was contained within the confines of the kitchen and bathroom. They put up plastic sheets and had an industrial air purifier to help with the dust. They had a large trailer in the driveway to haul away all the debris (which there was plenty of). Middle of Project: During the project the work went smoothly and Pete communicated well at each phase. As with all projects like this you find a few surprises. For us these were minimal and Pete was always willing to ensure what needed to be done was taken care of the right way. As we were discussing ways to make the kitchen as efficient and spacious as possible, we decided to expand the entryway to be wider than it was originally. During this process Pete found that the beam spanning the boundary between the kitchen and living room would need some additional support to ensure it was safe. Many contractors would have simply glossed over this and done what was cheap and easy. Pete does it the right way, even if it slows down the project. End of Project: Wow! What an amazing new kitchen and bathroom we have. We are so thrilled with the space Pete created for us. Almost 1 year after the job was completed we couldn't be happier with our kitchen. It is beautiful! And the scrap pile on the patio was cleaned up so well you couldn't even tell it was ever there. We LOVE the remodel! It's not often people hug their contractor, but both my wife and I gave Pete a hearty hug at the end of this project. We will definitely call Pete for our next project!"

"It is with pleasure that we write this letter of recommendation for Pete's Construction. We have been enjoying our new kitchen and bathrooms for a few weeks now... thanking our lucky stars every day for helping us find Pete. Pete and his professional employees have a very high level of integrity. Pete kept his promises no matter what challenges arose. He met his project completion date as well as the estimated cost for the project. He went the extra mile to make us happy. The very first day, in response to our concern for being without a kitchen sink for five weeks, Pete ran to the store and brought a utility sink which we had wanted for a long time, and he installed it in our laundry room that same day. As a result, we were able to comfortably manage during the construction period. Pete and his team had an amazing level of positive attitude no matter the size of our expectations/requests. For example, when we asked if a light switch could be moved to more convenient location, although it wasn't an easy change, they didn't hesitate to take the extra time to do the needed-work to make us happy. Another example: We had dreamed of having a gas stove since we bought our house in 2005. Other contractors didn't want to promise that it would be possible without having us jump through extra hoops, and they were not willing to give us a solid quote for this particular task. Pete, on the other hand, said, "Sure, we can do it." We were skeptical at first; however, their attention to detail was extraordinary. We felt they worked on our home with the same level of care as if they were working on their own home. Overall, we don't think we could have been happier with our remodeling work. We finally have our dream kitchen and two of our three bathrooms are seriously upgraded. We highly recommend Pete's Construction to anyone considering remodeling their home."

"Kitchen Cabinet Installation - multiple-tiered cabinets. Granite Countertop Installation. Remodeling (bathroom and hallway) (in process - he's waiting for me!).(note: the project cost above was for kitchen remodeling labor only.) Pete's Construction did a BEAUTIFUL job on my kitchen installation! Not only did he do a fantastic job, he was a pleasure to work with. Having worked with other contractors on my condo, I value his EXCELLENT communication. I already had the plan for all the cabinets; he came in and walked through the details of it, inch-by-inch. Guess what-my plan would not have worked...YET, he was patient, respectful, helpful, and detailed. During the process, his crew came ON TIME EVERY TIME, were respectful of me and my family, CLEANED UP, were cheerful about MODIFICATIONS I requested, and I am delighted. Granite countertops-I wanted to choose the product by hand, and Pete met me at the countertop wholesalers in town. 3 TIMES! (Tough to get 3 matching pieces my size). His subcontractor came twice to measure and install, both with Pete's oversight. Beautiful. Bathroom remodel beginning now. Demolition was fantastic and CLEAN. A great start, and wouldn't want to hire anyone else."

"Pete's company fully remodeled our master bathroom. They gutted it and brought it back to life. The project included a new custom shower pan and full tiling with a pebble floor and 3-D glass accent. They also put in a new toilet, heated tile floor throughout, sinks and cabinets. They installed a custom cabinet and window seat area. Pete is a wonderful man who has great workers working for him. They were all very easy to have in the house and around my children. Pete is extremely conscientious and truly cares about the clients and the finished product. I absolutely LOVE my bathroom. There isn't one thing I would have done differently."

"Complete redo of the only full bath on the main floor. He took it down to the studs, pushed out a wall, installed a shower, and moved a window. Since we were going to be going to be working with the wall against the main staircase, I also had him add in stair lights. Pete and his team (Fernando) did an amazing job. This was my first remodel, and I was a bit nervous about taking all this on, even having gone so far as to invest in an architect to draw out the plans (turns out this wasn't necessary, as Pete has a great eye, and helps the home owner with all these decisions). Pete deeply cares about the contractor/homeowner relationship, so trust plays a big role in the success of the project. For instance, Pete quotes you a price and he sticks to this, regardless of what he uncovers during the process of the renovation (he had to reroute my plumbing, and upon opening up the floor, found the previous homeowner's redo of the plumbing was a complete mess. Even though it took a few more days than anticipated, he never quibbled on the originally set price). Trust on the homeowner side comes in when you sign a very basic contract. Don't expect a big legal document, etc - that isn't Pete's style. We worked out the details over the phone if not in person. He and his team are very professional and were quite conscientious about cleaning up and removing tarps at the end of each day. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience, and I'm already thinking about my next project with Pete and his team."

"The job consisted of completely gutting my small kitchen and replacing everything (flooring, cabinets, counter-tops, sink, appliances, and lighting. In one bathroom I needed a new vanity, lighting, and fresh paint. The other needed a new shower and fresh paint. I needed to update my kitchen and bathrooms on a budget. I started with 8 or so contractors. 4 got back to me with interest in the project. Of these two gave me bids that were significantly higher than Pete's. All of them took longer than Pete to put together their bid and generally think things over. Pete gave me the initial estimate on the spot. Between the two similarly priced bids Pete's bid gave me more flexibility to choose materials to better fit my budget. The other one locked me into some higher priced materials. I knew I could find better deals. This ended up saving me a couple thousand dollars. I am sure the other contractors would have likely done a fine job. But, they kept trying to upsell me into my dream house. Pete did a good job actually listening to what I wanted and why. Pete went above and beyond to find me deals and do the little things like replacing by base boards in the bathrooms, a larger slab of granite, and other odds and ends even though they were not in the quote. I could always reach him when I needed to. The whole project took two weeks and they never left to run off to another project. Pete had a large selection of stock cabinet and granite options. If I needed something custom (I did not) that would not have been a problem either. The big worry with construction projects like this is that you will get a good bid and then get nickle and dimed when something goes wrong or any small change is made. It is quite the opposite with Pete. He helped me to save money as the project went along and added extras at no charge. Pete and his employees are completely trustworthy. I would use them again without a doubt. I was looking for high quality and a great value for my money. Pete delivered on both fronts."

I interviewed several contractors, and Pete had the best ideas and suggestions for the project. He saw possibilities I had not imagined and made me feel very comfortable that the job would be done right. Throughout the project he was open to all the ideas I had. Some we incorporated others we did not and every time I was happy I followed his advice. His team was always on time without exception and were always professional and courteous. The job was done on time and on budget and there was even a refund check I was given because some materials "didn't cost as much as estimated" The bathroom turned out great and Pete exceeded my expectations, he was always available via cell phone and was very patient with my questions and accommodated a change to the schedule which became necessary on my part. I have built five houses and done numerous remodels this has been by far my best experience and I would recommend Pete to anyone without reservation."

"I want to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you during the construction. I was so happy that everything was done in a professional and thorough manner and on schedule! I have received so many compliments on my new kitchen and master bathroom!"

"Our first impression of Pete was his friendly personality and great sense of humor. After meeting with him for the initial estimate, my wife and I decided to go with him and not to interview any other contractors. With all the good reviews, we knew he had the professional skills we were looking for, and his friendly personality would make it that much easier to work with him to get our 5-piece master bathroom redone. It turns out picking him was the right decision to get our dream bathroom. His crew was punctual, courteous and skillful. Each day, they arrived around 9:30 am and left around 6 pm after cleaning up. Every day they made great progress. Overall, the project took a longer time than I had expected, but they carefully followed the floorplan we generated in detail and executed everything perfectly. There was no part that they had misunderstanding or doing something that needed to be redone. To me, if they can get everything right the first time and there is no need for redos, then taking a little more time to be careful is definitely understandable. One thing that concerns me was when we were doing the estimate, we didn't discuss the possible cost for materials like pipes, 2x4s, switch boxes, etc. We went over the labor cost and other project costs like tiles, sink, tub, all the big pieces. However, when he bought all other materials (pipes, 2x4s...), we were surprised by the cost (10% of the overall cost). Since he only charged us for labor, we understood that we would cover those materials, but for the additional 10% of the cost, it was definitely not something that we had budgeted for. Originally, I thought I would put this as a negative thing in the review, but when the project was done, this actually became a positive thing of Pete's work. Why? For other contractors, they include all the materials in the estimate/cost, which means the less/cheaper materials they buy, the higher their profit will be. But Pete buys things that he thinks are necessary to get the work done properly, and he doesn't cut corners. So in a way, he has nothing to hold him back from buy anything necessary for good work that will hold up his good reputation. In addition to validating his professional skill, the part that moves me the most was his personality. A big part of getting the bathroom redone was that we wanted to get the bathroom updated so when our first child arrived, we wouldn't have to do any more construction in the house. Pete was able to start our project a lot sooner than when we had first talked about, but it was really close to our due date. So when the project lasted a little longer (over the holiday season), I was under a lot of stress. When I talked to Pete about the time concern, not only did he not take it negatively, he comforted us and sent extra crew members the next day to expedite the project. He said he doesn't usually do this (moving guys from one project to work on another project), but he knew timing was critical to us and he wanted to help. I never believed that a contractor could care about a client's personal life, but he went well above and beyond the project scope and offered his kind personality. The project finished soon after, and we still had a few weeks to get ready to welcome our first child. So a big THANK YOU to him. At the end, looking at the stunning end-product that Pete's crew created, we cannot be any happier. Not only does this bathroom add significant value to our home (which we are most likely to get back when selling our house), but we now enjoy it every day we use it. Thanks very much, Pete and your fantastic crew, and a big YES I'd recommend Pete's construction to anyone."

They did the whole new house make over. He fixed our kitchen and bathroom. He added a new bathroom, did the flooring, plumbing and the painting. It was awesome, it went great. It was a really excellent, pleasant experience. The owner, Pete, was great and had a great attention to detail. It was really, really wonderful to work with him. I'm very happy with how it turned out. He has great customer service. After the renovation was over he still came back and fixed a few more things. I highly recommend this company to anyone."

"After purchasing a 1927 built brick tudor in West Seattle i wanted to have the kitchen & living room remodeled into a large kitchen and remodel the upstairs / masterbathroom Kitchen renovation included removing of exisitng small kitchen, removing lath & plaster walls & ceiling, removing of dividing wall of kitchen dinning room, expanding arched entryway to kitchen/dining, build-up of all these areas and replacement of glass slider with french doors. The bathroom remodel included teardown and expansion of the bathroom. Building of large titled shower and replacement of windows I am extremely happy with the work that was performed. Pete and I met to review options and he was prompt in responding with a bid. I like the way that pete works as he doesn't charge for materials or have to put markup on materials as you purchase those yourself... for some this many be fun - but since i knew what I wanted in the kitchen and the bath this worked very well for me and saved me money. I love my kitchen and the bathroom! I liked working with Pete and he is responsive and involved. I look forward to working with Pete again on my next project."

"We needed a bathtub and surround that was installed in the 70's replaced. The project was somewhat challenging as the bathroom is narrow and the work had to be done in tight quarters. Pete and his crew are the best. First and foremost; they showed up on time. Pete was the first contractor I have worked with that was on the job when he said he would. We already had a good idea of what we wanted prior to the first meeting. Pete was willing to work with us and help work out some of the details of the project. Because we knew what we wanted, Pete charged us labor only. Please note; the total cost of the project reflects what we paid for labor and materials. The crew was fast and paid attention to the details. By the end of the first day everything was installed and ready for the finish work the next morning. Unfortunately, the next morning Pete found a very small hairline crack in the finish. We discussed it, I was ready to live with it. But Pete said he would pull it out and take it back to Loews for us. In fact, he insisted. I'm glad he did, it would have been one of those things I would have always seen and regretted that I didn't fix it when I had the chance. I think that is what sets Pete and his crew apart from others; he is willing to go out of his way to make sure the customer is really and truly happy with the work. As I sit here typing this, my daughter is playing the bathtub. I realize we made the right choice in having Pete's Construction install our new tub that will provide many years of good clean fun. Thanks Pete!!!!"

"Pete and his team did an amazing master bath full remodel for me. It is truly one of the most amazing master baths I have ever seen and everyone who sees it loves it. Pete and his team were a joy to have around. I have two young boys and Pete and his team were so sweet with them. My boys were always thrilled when Pete was coming over. I can't wait to have more remodeling done by Pete and his team."
