It went very well, Encore came in with the lowest bid. Encore has won numerous awards for quality homes.. John was organized and really knowledgeable. The addition was completed in what I thought was a minimal amount of time. The workmanship was excellent. There were no snags. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Hiring Encore was one of my better ideas.
Description of Work: Enlarged my basement, and added a room upstairs.

We hired Encore Custom Homes (aka Newhall Jones and Stackman) to build an addition on the second floor of our house. They were the lowest of 3 bids we received. From the beginning, I was impressed with them because they brought in their main subcontractors to look at the project pre-bid, rather than just relying on the plans. This allowed us to recommend some key design changes to improve the constructability of the project, and allowed them to see possible future pitfalls before they happened. This led to very few change orders, and kept our costs down. They communicated well and completed the project in a timely manner, despite some understandable delays. We had to live in the house while the work was going on, and the workers were all respectful of our space and kept the area as clean as possible.
Description of Work: Added a bathroom on to the second floor of our 1920's home in North Seattle. This involved extending a shed dormer across the back of the house and routing plumbing to the 2nd floor (only bathroom was on the 1st floor prior to this). They also re-sheeted and replaced the entire roof.

These people were honest and they did excellent quality work. I had spoken to nine contractors and Encore Builders gave the second lowesrt price and knew how to do a good job. The quality of the building was excellent, they tried to be coocerative and if tiny things had not been done at the end; they fixed them. The contractor in charge was John Stackman. (206) 229 9311. Most of the other contractors I had talked to saw a single woman and just added 30% because they thought I did not know the difference. Being a cautious soul, I has not signed with anyone untill I had learned at least a little. I am happy with the house, others speak well of it and I am glad that I worked with Encore Builders.
Description of Work: Remodel that included removal of most of the house and rebuilding house on the same lot

I'll add here that the cabinets, which came to the house already painted with our trim color, were prepared offsite by Bayview, a regular supplier for Encore Custom Homes, John's also-entity. Ginny Miller, with Bayview, is a friend, and she told me that if she ever gets to build her dream house, John will get the job. That was a hefty referral from someone who works with contractors regularly. My thanks go, too, to Bayview for beautiful built-ins, as well as to Ginny for the original dynamite referral to John Stackman. I am hereby paying it forward to all of you!
Description of Work: The project was to remove the masonry fireplace wall of (ugly) porous white stone, to remove and replace the non-working fireplace with a bigger one, to install new masonry hearth and fireplace wall to the 10 foot ceiling, to install new electrical including uplighting above the two, new flanking custom bookcases with large lower cupboards. AND, to do it all in time for the Christmas tree to go up! In other words, destroy and replace everything on the fireplace wall in the living room. We have relatively new hardwood floors which John Stackman carefully protected before any work began. He had an elaborate plastic sheeting arrangement enclosing the room before the demo began. Even so, the dust got out some, though surprisingly little. "I'm not going to charge you to custom fit the new the hole for the new fireplace because I feel badly there's some dust." His respect for our home was obvious. I'm telling you, John Stackman is a magician. He had masons, electricians, painters, fireplace special installers, cabinet installers and clean up help scheduled with the precision of a Marine General, and he does it in the nicest possible way. It's very obvious that his subs are vetted and respectful of the quality of work he expects. I've NEVER had an experience like this! Frankly, I thought I was saving in the past by hiring somewhat off the grid workers. Never again. This went fast, it was minimally invasive on our household, and it was John himself on the last day being sure that everything was cleaned up. He was here to help move the furniture back in before he left like Santa in his big red truck! I'm not inclined to be effusive, but not only do I think it was full value for the cost, it's more beautiful than I expected. "I'm in it for the longhaul. I want your experience to be fantastic so you'll remember me for your next project, and maybe tell your friends." John, consider it done. HUGE recommend, Girlfriends. HUGE!
