"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 We have a 1945 cape cod style home that had a very outdated and oddly shaped kitchen, and a bathroom with rotting drywall and a full size window in the shower (God knows why).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!"

"This was a complete interior remodel of a 1978 tri-level home (2300 sq ft) including: removal of the popcorn ceiling throughout the house (Pete had it tested for asbestos ahead of time) complete kitchen remodel including raising the ceiling, new cabinets, granite counter top, tile back splash, adding an island, pendant and canister lighting installed gas line for new gas stove and above-stove microwave with new venting opened up the main level by removing one wall and making a half wall between kitchen and living room removed old brick fireplace, replacing with slate tiles and hand crafted mantel former master bedroom had a vanity area that was open to the bedroom; attached to that was a small room with a small shower and toilet; Pete designed and built a bathroom with a large beautifully tiled walk-in shower (2 shower heads); required major replumbing; also framed and finished a walk-in closet; remodeled 2nd floor bathroom, replacing old tile and plumbing fixtures, raised the ceiling, new vanity and lighting remodeled laundry room and 1/2 bath in lower level, adding a tiled shower to bathroom and closet to laundry room; shower required major plumbing work given floor is concrete beautiful hardwood floors being installed in about half the house and carpet in other half; tile floors in the 3 bathrooms installed new windows throughout new lighting throughout - canister and ceiling lights installed new floor molding and 6-panel doors throughout house painting entire interior of house We have found Pete to not only be a great person to work with, but a great person in general. He is pleasant, always smiling, has high work standards, and takes pride in his work. He truly wants us to be happy with his work. He provided us with what we believe to be a very reasonable estimate for labor, much better than a bid we received from a larger company who subcontracts much of their work. Pete helps keep costs down by passing on his costs of materials without mark-up. He purchased materials, provided us the receipts and then we reimbursed him. We also wanted to keep our hands in the project so he has no issue with us helping shop for materials (e.g., various tiles, lighting, paints, plumbing fixtures, etc). He also regularly suggests less expensive ways of doing something or provides alternative suggestions to our design ideas to help us save money. We have changed our mind on a few things as the project has progressed and Pete gladly makes the change or redid the work with little or no additional charge. His guys are hard working and skilled, doing most of the work themselves, saving a lot of money on work that might otherwise have to be contracted out. Pete is very responsive - we are calling him regularly, including weekends, and most of the time he picks up immediately; if not, he calls back promptly."

"High-end waterfront entire house interior remodel including custom kitchen, three designer bathrooms, hardwood flooring, adding second kitchen, laundry room and wet bar. Pete came highly recommended, he always communicated very well and always gave his honest opinion. The quality of the work was outstanding and he was always professional. I feel like I have made a new friend. We started with kitchen remodel and after seeing the outstanding craftsmanship and value we decided to remodel the whole house. Pete's estimate was the lowest and the quality of the work got rave reviews from all my friends many of whom are or have family in architecture and building industry."

"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 remodeled my kitchen, put a new mantle over my fireplace and baseboard heating in the living room and the bed room. He also put in some new lights, countertops (granite) and a new floor. He also knocked out the false ceiling and a nice new paint job. He did some electrical work as well which included some new outlets. Pete also put in a new stove hood! He did a great job, I would highly recommend him! Pete is a wonderful person that is extremely easy to work with, he is very outgoing and punctual! I would certainty use him again. The clean up was amazing as well."

"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."

"We were planning on doing a complete overhaul of the kitchen, including cabinets, island, hardwood floor, granite, tile backsplash, move cooktop from island to the wall and set up new ventilation through the pantry. We contacted 4 contractors plus Homedepot and Costco. Among all, all things equal, Pete gave us the best quote. He was great to talk to. He made us feel he's on our side, sincerely cares about the final result of the project as well as saving money when we should. We ended up not going forward with the project because eventually what Pete told us upfront was correct. He told us that we should not waste money tearing down the current kitchen. It looks great as it is and no need to change, unless we insist. We did insist, and he gave us a ballpark quote on the spot. We also contacted others. All were great to work with and very professional. Still, for the same list of work items, Pete has the best price. Others are anywhere between slightly more expensive to absolutely insane. After taking appliances cost into consideration, another $20K, we have decided to put aside the kitchen project and start thinking about bedroom and bathroom. Pete is the very first person on our to-call list."

"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!"

"Pete gave me a very reasonable bid on a kitchen project but I decided to work on it myself instead. Meanwhile, he saw my brick siding and told me he had some identical material at his house if I needed more. Since it was somewhat rare and I was planning additional exterior work, this was quite a find. I offered to pay him something but he wouldn't take it and gave it to me for free. Pete is a great guy, very friendly, and It seems that he is dedicated to making his customers happy w/ high integrity. I would use him on a future project, and recommend you talk to him for your project."

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."

"our experience with the owner, pete, was great. he was professional and he is a professional. it is obvious he really knows what he is talking about. there is no area of contracting that he doesnt know inside and out. pete also speaks several languages and easily communicated with his guys (who were fantastic). it was so nice to able to deal directly with the owner as opposed to have to deal with a lot of middle men or managers who then communicated with the workers. pete was on site frequently and really watched over the project. we initially wanted his company to do our kitchen remodel, but we also asked him to put up lighting for us. done. we needed new electric wiring put in to accomdate for our new speed oven. done. requests for different styles and colors for our cabinets, done. there was never a call made that was not returned. pete even guided me with some home improvement projects I was working on and was very helpful in teaching me some basic home maintenance. we didnt shop around a whole out but with the bids we did receive, pete's was very competitive. remodel itself was tastefully done and the quality of the work I thought was done very professionally. overall, I highly recommend pete's construction and will be definitely considering them for our master bath remodel in the spring."

"I contacted Pete to install granite counter tops in my kitchen. He was wonderful in every way; making helpful suggestions and going well beyond expectations in terms of the work he did, the timing of his work, the professionalism of both he and his workers. I was especially impressed with his honesty and integrity and would highly recommend him. Pete came to my home at the appointed time, he measured my counter tops, showed me many samples of granite from which I could choose, and made helpful suggestions. We scheduled a date for his workers to remove the formica tops and another day for his men to install the granite. They did an excellent job, were very tidy and completed the work in a timely manner, just as Pete had promised."

"When we first called Pete, we were over our heads trying to manage all the details of remodeling our kitchen. Pete's friendliness and confidence immediately put our fears to rest by assuring us that he could handle anything that was needed. Every small complication that arose (as they do with older houses) was quickly and expertly handled by Pete and his crew - from building the base for the new countertops, to moving outlets and switches, to fixing wall surfaces, to venting exhausts. Pete was very respectful of our needs and wishes, as well as he added his helpful suggestions. Pete made the whole job worry-free, affordable and easy. The work was accomplished quickly and expertly, with a minimum of disruption. His crew completely cleaned up after finishing, right down to hand-polishing the beautiful new countertops they installed. Pete called a couple days later to make sure we were completely satisfied with the work. We have done a number of remodeling projects over the 28 years we've owned our home, and we have never had any part of it go as smoothly as with Pete, nor have we ever been as pleased with the results. His honesty and integrity are excellent."

"Pete and his crew tore out the old kitchen, appliances and lighting. They put in two skylights and new lighting. They put in new cabinets and a granite counter top. After we painted, they stripped the dark color off the existing oak floors and resealed them in an environmentally friendly varnish-- or sealant. We are extremely happy with our new kitchen and family room. From the minute I spoke to Pete on the phone, I felt he was going to be the one we went with. He was personable, outgoing, and knowledgeable, He came and gave us an estimate, which was lower than two other bids we had come in. I had wanted to raise the existing level of the kitchen ceiling to match the adjacent family room, Pete said no problem, to do it, but actually it couldn't be done on our budget, so we went with just installing skylights, which look great. But I would have liked to know that before we started (not that it would have changed my mind). Anyway, Pete was able to take us on short notice and fit us in, which we appreciated! We wanted Pete to transform our 70's style kitchen into a light modern room. Pete listened well to our ideas and was able to put what was in my head into the room! It looks amazing. I love my island! The granite countertops are spectacular-- although I thought they were sealed when they were put on, and they weren't, so I had to do that myself. Pete kept us under budget for the cupboards and countertops so that we were able to redo the existing flooring. We had constant contact with Pete, even though we weren't on site every day. His crew were respectful, and did a great job minimizing the impact on the rest of the house. The cabinets and countertops are fantastic. Stripping the floor, and resealing it in a natural color really makes to room pop! I would recommend Pete to anyone wanting a quality job done, within budget.

"For as long as I am living or for as long as Pete is working I will be using him for any and all work in the future. I have never had a more pleasurable experience as I have had with him and his crew. He came in below budget and did a beautiful job on our kitchen remodel, I would highly recommend his company and his services!! The bathrooms are next, can't wait!! Crew was timely, work progress was steady, they removed the whole kitchen and replaced flooring, granite counter,cabinets, trim, sink, faucet, then painted. Plus they added lighting, and upgraded to all GFI outlets. I am still agog at the sight of our new kitchen."

"We are in awe of how Pete and his crew transformed our kitchen. This project was a complete demolition of the old kitchen and starting over. Pete, Fernando and Andy did everything without bringing in subcontractors, and all in less than seven weeks! We knew every day who would be in our home and the progress of the project. They did electrical, plumbing, gas lines, dry wall, installed three windows, cabinets, granite countertops, flooring, lighting and so much more. Pete was very conscientious about the cost and we were always kept informed about how the money was being spent and cost projections for completion. Pete's 28 years in the business was invaluable. His suggestions were so insightful. His "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" philosophy saved us a lot of money. Thank you Pete!"

"Pete removed and replaced existing baseboard moldings throughout including closets. His workers did a superb job. The kitchen countertops was replaced and Pete's workers removed carpeting to expose a hardwood floor covered with staples that needed removal by hand. Pete arrived promptly to give me an estimate and set a date for the project. He and his workers arrived on time and worked until the job was completed. They cleaned up each area as the project moved forward. Pete is courteous, fair, honest and just generally a delight. Though this was a small job, Pete treated it with care and offered me advice on materials and scope of project so that it would not involve significant cost. I plan to use Pete's services in the future and am happy to recommend him."
