Customer, Toni G
Ornate chandelier

I had Steve install a very intricate parlour lamp. He enthusiastically took on the task, only to realize half way into the project the lamp needed to be rewired. Steve tirelessly stayed with the project to see it through. It is now the centerpiece of my home. He is very patient and honest. I trust him in my home and appreciate his skills.

Customer, Charlene W
Kitchen faucet

Steve did a great job replacing my kitchen sink faucet. He was professional and very nice to work with. I was impressed with his work so I hired him back to help me with some trim work in my tv room. The trim was originally installed incorrectly, but Steve was able make the necessary changes to make it right.

Steve’s done several projects for us over the past few years. Most recently he reinforced/rebuilt our deck structure, which was in dire need of repair. He also built gates for our dog run. We also had him install a stone hearth behind our free-standing stove and he built a craftsman style mantle on top. Steve is very meticulous. We will certainly use him for future projects!

Ceiling fan
Client, Sally M

When I moved to Cle Elum, I had Steve hang all of my artwork, change almost all of my light fixtures, install new ceiling fans, and put up new window coverings. Steve also put in a new kitchen faucet and replaced all the under-sink plumbing. I also had Steve put in a new sprinkler contoller and fix several of my irrigation lines and sprinklers for my lawn and landscaping. I am very particular and Steve never fails to do the job to my satisfaction!
