Black River Builders did an excellent job installing our new stair case and siding. They were punctual, polite, and incredibly efficient. The finished work is exactly what we envisioned, and I was impressed with their attention to detail. I highly recommend them

I am grateful for John at Black River Builders for replacing/repairing my small deck area. He kept in contact with me before and after he made the estimate. He dud the job quickly and didn't put me on his schedule weeks down the road. He did the work just as requested and that means alot as not all contractors will pay attention to how a woman wants something made. Also,out of 4 contractors contacted he was the only one that showed up to make an estimate and was willing to do the job. Thank you Black River Builders!!

Black River Builders just completed a siding job for me. Owner John Martin made a very good impression on me during the bidding process. The job had some twists to it that John quickly addressed and outlined a plan for dealing with them. His bid was not the lowest, but it was very strong, especially considering my special requirements. My choice was a no brainer. John and company worked tirelessly and the work was outstanding. There were no surprise increases to initial quoted amount. In short, I couldn't be happier with the Black River's work and the manner in which John runs his company. He has earned my highest recommendation of five stars.

We had Black River Builders, Rochester, Washington build a covered front porch for us, and I just couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Their craftsmanship was excellent, and they listened to my ideas, wants and needs and did everything the way I wanted it. Many people walking by and even the UPS and Amazon guys comment on how nice our porch looks and how well constructed it is. The building inspector even said these guys have done a great job. I highly recommend Black River Builders.

John and his team at Black River Builders are our go to contractors. They have done multiple jobs for us, and the experience has been the same each time - John is easy to work with, even helping us mold and shape ideas and has never shown anything other than friendly interest, confidence, and understanding when we want to change things during the project. He even brought us a refund that was forgotten on the printed contract - which we had forgotten too! We have also been impressed with his sons who expertly work long and hard with the same polite friendliness. We are so happy with each job he and his sons have done for us. They take the time to make you feel that you and your job is important whether it is as small as moving a faucet, or creating a personalized cement lighted patio (we know because we have done both :) ). We can't reccommend Black River Builders enough!

Very satisfied with the work completed by Black River Builders. They installed metal siding and repaired the trim of an exterior window.
Quality work performance, on schedule with the timeline planned and communicated throughout the process.

We are very pleased with the covered porch John, Bradley and Joel built for us. It looks like it has always been a part of the house.
The final bill was pretty much what John originally estimated (which has been rare in my experience) and worth every penny. The quality of their work is top notch. Their work ethic and professionalism is impressive. We will be hiring them again.

Black River Builders did a very lovely back porch for me. There were delays and issues, however they were very good at letting me know what was going on and why there were delays. I appreciated the transparency. The finished product was beautiful. A few months later one of the posts cracked in a weird spiral, when I reached out to ask if they could fix it and how much it would cost me. They told me that it was under warranty and had it fixed within a few weeks. I would highly recommend this company!

Black River Builders built our small home in Olympia, WA. John and his entire crew are the most professional, kind and polite people we have ever worked with. The whole team has integrity. They understood our vision, and respected our wishes. They are very good listeners, and put quality first in everything they did on our build. We were fortunate to contract with them during a very busy time in the construction industry. We turned away other contractors that we felt were not a good fit, and are so happy we did. We will use Black River Builders for any future projects we have. We can't recommend their services highly enough.

I contracted with Black River Builders to build me a 32x50 garage/shop. I had no garage; I had a shop that I couldn't do anything in. It was bursting at the seams for space with equipment, materials and misc. I drew my vision of what I wanted on a piece of paper; John Martin made some immediate suggestions regarding size, man doors, and windows. John and I began talking in mid February, by mid March the slab was poured and then about May 29th the project was 99% complete.

John has a fantastic crew they are polite, know their business, kept me well informed, answered any question I had. John was always available via cell phone, email or on the job. He responded quickly to all inquiries. He was easy to work with throughout the whole project. If he said he would do something you can guarantee it would get done. He takes pride in doing first class work and he is as honest as the day is long. You won't find a better contractor in this area, big or small John Martin and his crew can do it all! John is a very easy going guy I liked him when I first met him, he was timely, any commitments he made he kept, he was flexible.

What do I think of John’s work, it was outstanding! I'm sorry I didn't have him build this shop/garage years ago it came out great. I’m really proud of the facility I planned; John brought my vision to fruition. There are so many custom touches in this building it came out better than I envisioned.

I’ll never have to scrape ice off my windows again either! The reason I say that is because this past winter, I was scraping ice off my vehicle window in the cold and asked myself why am I doing this?! That’s when I got the idea for the garage/shop. I haven’t had my vehicles under cover for over 35 years that I’ve lived here, now I will.

John did an excellent job and installing a new roof on my house! His crew took care of everything from tear off to clean up. John himself took extra care to ensure the sheeting and valleys were prepared before installing shingles. John went the extra mile to install drip edge, sealing skylights and etc, and even fix up some trim on the back side of the house. When living in the PNW it is a peace of mind to have someone like his crew making sure every detail is done right. Thanks to John and the boys, they'll be no leaks to worry about this winter!!!!!

Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
