SFW Construction LLC

From their initial response to our RFP through conclusion of current-phase work, SFW's construction and paint professionals had the answers my association needed -- and had them when we needed them. When it became evident that scope of construction would have to expand, they worked with me to develop an effective revised project plan. They also provided the documentation I required in order to explain these changes to members of my association. More importantly, the work itself has been consistently outstanding. I look forward to re-engaging with them for the conclusion of this work.

SFW Service For Wrong Construction LLC rips us off for $4,510.44 Without doing much research, we called SFW for caulking some exterior boards and replacing a window trim. After about 3 months, they appeared one morning and the first thing they asked us was to sign some papers, and check lists. One paper was allowing them to place a lien on our property and the other was basically giving them a free pass not to worry about matching colors. We signed all papers assuming that these guys were not scammers, until we found it out later, so keep reading. After two days of work, during the final walkthrough, Jason Gwinn (their supervisor) showed me some newly replaced hardies and I saw no caulking between the boards, so I asked why? He said, “James Hardie does not recommend caulking”. I said, “But I have been calling you guys several times during the past 3 months asking for caulking, but none of you have ever told me that”. I said, “Why did you have to replace some random boards while all of them look exactly the same”, He said, “Well then we shouldn’t have been here in the first place.” At this moment, something clicked in my mind that these guys are probably trained to make some unnecessary repairs, and charge hours while staying on their phones in the truck most of the day. In conclusion, while SFW did not do the work they were originally scheduled for, they somehow managed to charge us $4,510.44. I emailed their superintendent, Jeff McCammon, scheduling manager, Philip Eskins and Billing Jordan Lopez who apologized for the miscommunication. However, all of them acted as if they were all part of this organized scam. Finally, Jordan Lopez sent me the following in an email and I had no choice (because they took my signature the first morning), but to go ahead and pay $4,510.44 right away. “In the hopes of bringing this to a resolution, I will offer you a $500.00 settlement credit on your account. This offer is valid until 3pm today, Wednesday, August 18, 2021. If this is not agreeable and your account is not paid in full by 3pm today, I will be turning this matter over to our attorney, who will be placing a lien on your home tomorrow” Note: I did not accept their $500 because I don’t want anyone else to be the victim of such an organized scam. Update: I hired a handyman, who did all the caulking and perfectly-matching paint for $1,289 only.

It is not easy to find a company to do a concentrated fix of a roof and gutter problem. Once the workers showed up and demo, the problem was quickly remedied. The supervisor was very good at communicating and explaining options. I should have contacted them long ago to fix my gable . Very happy!

The construction crew was nice enough but damaged both the internal functioning of the gas fireplace which required repair, and the exterior lighting. The light was propped back up to make it appear unbroken and not reported to me. Repairs on that are underway. I received duplicate invoices for hours of service never performed. Would NOT recommend!!!

I had the lower level of my siding replaced and flashing installed where my siding was touching the concrete patio. The two-person crew from SFW was fantastic. They were very professional, clean, and fast. They completed the project in half a day and cleaned up everything afterword’s. The workmanship was perfect and the pricing is competitive and up front. I would recommend SFW to anyone with exterior projects and I will absolutely be using them in the future.

The SFW process went smoothly from beginning to end. The workers were professional, worked hard, and did a thorough job. They had to innovate when the materials did not fit my window and did a great job! They kept me informed of the cost all along the way and helped me evaluate the various options available in terms of cost and quality.

We removed carpeting on two bedroom floors in our "new" 1910 home to find lead paint underneath. The company we had hired to refinish the floors, which we got in touch with via the Portland Architectural Heritage Center, suggested we use SFW Construction to remove the paint since they are certified lead abatement specialists. We were able to get on SFW's schedule within about 3 weeks (and it might have been quicker had it not been for the holidays). Juan Rueda and his colleague Isaiah worked really hard to get 110 years' worth of paint layers off that floor, and we were blown away by the result. Looked like new wood under there. They took pride in their work, were good communicators, and pleasant to have around. We would recommend SFW, Juan, and Isaiah to anyone needing lead paint removed.

SFW answered all my questions concerning the need for an emergency lead paint remediation. Within one day they sent a crew who vacuumed, scraped and sealed the whole house. They continually kept me updated during the two day job including when they vacuumed my neighbors yard to prevent exposure to their baby. This company really knows how to do it right!

SFW saved our kitchen! A previous contractor did a shoddy job roofing the kitchen extension resulting in water coming in through a number of different channels. SFW came in ahead of schedule, assessed the job, and got to work immediately. They knew what they were doing, were courteous and professional throughout the entire process and made sure we were informed about any decisions they had to make. No more leaks!

WHAT SFW CONSTRUCTION DID WELL SFW came out, evaluated and fixed the problem. I am relatively confident the work they did will prevent the window from leaking again. The crew that came onsite was friendly and professional. They were conscious about cleanliness and pets as well. They cleaned the job site well after job completion. OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: I did run into a few issues along the way. Jeff H and SFW treated me like their #1 customer and were willing to work with me to resolve every issue I had in a timely fashion. Much appreciated.

I had some siding corners coming loose on the house - wanted to get it repaired before the Seattle rainy season set in. Christian, the project coordinator, was very helpful and thorough in replying to my Angie's list inquiry and helping to get project scheduled. Justin and Jacob did a great job coming onsite, looking for all the problem areas on the house, and explaining what needed to be repaired and how they would approach it. Note: the invoicing will include Driver's Time- Material Pickup/Delivery, so you will have to factor that into your costs. On the day of the project, the driver was delayed by an hour or two, so Justin and Jacob could not get started right away. Once they got the correct ladder and equipment delivered by the driver, they completed the siding repair work very quickly. The onsite team was very professional and courteous, many thanks to Justin and Jacob for such courteous service, and a smooth project.

Humberto and Hector did an awesome job determining the extent of damage and removing all damaged areas. This included removing damaged siding and infrastructure, the floor and all walls in my laundry nook. All infrastructure was rebuilt, siding replaced, floor replaced, etc. They showed strong attention to detail and made sure that the entire area was properly cleaned up, appliances reconnected etc. Highly recommended. I paid a bit more for expedited response and it was absolutely worth it to have them out in about a week.
