Pathway Design & Construction

Our search for a quality partner to remodel our home with universal design principles ended with Pathway Design & Construction. Our initial engagement with Paul to understand our project needs and what our budget could support allowed us to gain immediate confidence in Pathway. The design partner that Pathway engaged, C. Hoki Designs, is excellent. The care taken with our mother to understand her design needs to support ageing-in-place was evident in every discussion and recommendation.
One we moved into the build phase, Mike and Steven from the construction team met the same standard established by Paul, Carli, and Lars. The team exhibited professionalism and competence at every step and opportunity. In a project of our size, there are always complications. The Pathway team worked these issues with us to satisfaction in a timely and cost effective manner.
The finished product from Pathway exceeded our expectations. The engagement with the entire team was a pleasure. These are good people. I recommend the Pathway team without reservation.

When I think of Pathway - I think of quality. We worked with Pathway on three different phases of our complete home remodel (hired them 3 times). They consistently delivered quality work and stood behind the work and making sure that all issues were addressed. We were especially impressed with their ability to deliver solutions to the challenges associated with our 1935 home, including addressing structural issues such as placing a 20+ foot beam to support the ceiling of the great room without impacting the coved ceiling, determining how to build an elegant fence/moving gate which we get compliments on daily that also met the Seattle engineering requirements, and making sure that while we had the driveway ripped up we addressed all plumbing issues including sewer line issues and prepared for future electric cars with appropriate wiring to the shed.

Pathway did a great job from start to finish. Pathway's quality was excellent. Communication was exemplary and attention to detail very high. They were responsive to questions and concerns and pleasant to work with.

I have nothing but superlatives for Pathway. My downtown Seattle high-rise condo was flooded, so I had damage repairs as well as custom upgrades to do. Pathway contributed marvelously to the design and specification portion of the project, as well as creating successful documents for my insurance company. Among many other great ideas from Pathway, they introduced me to a wide range of quality flooring alternatives, including a European import which was beautiful, 'green', and indestructible all at the same time! I was impressed with everyone I worked from Paul, the President of the company, to the subcontractors including electricians, fireplaces & HVAC, flooring specialists, and custom carpenters. It's hard to find excellent construction people who will come to downtown Seattle with the qualifications and licenses to work in high-rise condos. Mine is one of many excellent recommendations from Escala residents. I highly recommend them.

We had a great experience with Pathway. They diligently handled a major issue with us after a burst pipe flooded our basement. They put together a very thorough work estimate with lots of documentation which was a huge aid in dealing with our insurance.

After our house flooded and was destroyed from a burst pipe, Pathway was an indispensable partner in repairing and rebuilding our house - from assisting with insurance issues, coordinating countless subcontractors, providing expert advice and expertise, and above all top quality workmanship, they were there every step of the way. They were always extremely professional, personable, and transparent, and solved challenges with no drama. Highly recommended without reservation.

The team at Pathway Design and Construction was fanatic to work with. This was our first time going through a remodeling project and could not be happier with the outcome and process.

We had an amazing and hassle-free experience working with Pathway construction for a nine month project. The contractor, Mark, was very well experienced and thorough in his implementation. He handled ambiguity very well and kept great communication with all parties involved throughout the project and delivered high quality results. The company handled minor change requests holistically and we didn’t have any major complaints with them during the whole project. The architect who works with their company was thorough and knowledgeable. We did have issues with flooring as their vendor messed up installing LVP on cement floor and try to fix the original installation unsuccessfully. Pathway was eventually able to order whole new flooring material and get the vendor to reinstall the floors which delayed the project by three months due to holiday season falling in between this process. However we felt this was excusable considering the larger part of the project which they delivered with great quality and the professionalism they displayed on site on daily basis for many months.

We have had the pleasure of working with Pathway on several projects and are always impressed with their level of quality, attention to detail and communication during the remodel process. Their skills are top notch!

Pathway turned our old unfinished craftsman basement into an ADU. We had no prior experience with home renovations. The process could not have been more smoother and transparent from the design phase and throughout the construction phase. They worked closely with our architect to find innovative design solutions that met our goals while staying within our budget. Everything was detailed out in the scope of work, so there were no major surprises. Our lead carpenter was amazing to work with and we have been extremely impressed with the quality of his work and the trade partners. He was exceptional in problem solving and paid great attention to every detail. We appreciated the high standards of health and safety protocols that were put in place (very important for us because of the old lead paint in the house and we have little kids and it was also during the pandemic). Throughtout the construction, they were very responsive and was easy to communicate with and helped to address any unexpected issues or questions promptly. We felt our project overall was handled with a lot of care and we highly recommend Pathway.

We are on our third project with Pathway at our home. We keep coming back because of their attention to detail and project needs and highly finished end product.

From start to finish Pathway made our 4 month project stress free and fun. Paul and his entire team were professional, reliable, accountable, and true craftsmen.

I can not recommend Pathway enough. We can't wait to start phase 2 with them.

Pathway did a major remodel/addition for us in 2013/2014 and the end result was fabulous.

There were no unpleasant surprises, they were great to work with, they met their estimates.

What more can you ask?

We'd hire them again today.

I found them easy to work with - paid attention to my requests and tried to create what I envisioned - even when a little odd

We had an excellent experience working with Pathway for our two-story addition in Mt. Baker. First of all, our house is BEAUTIFUL. We could not have asked for a better finished product. Everyone at Pathway was responsive, helpful, kind, and had amazing attention to detail. We would highly recommend this company for any project, large or small. Plus, they finished on-time and UNDER BUDGET. Basically a miracle.

The entire Pathways team exceeded our expectations at every turn. Not only were they easy and fun to work with; each member of the team knew their stuff, was prompt and courteous, and delivered high-quality products. Was our remodel more expensive than we thought it would be when it was just a dream? Sure. But the value of working with true professionals was worth every penny. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

We had an excellent experience with Pathway. They were professional, kept our home clean after they were done working for the day, and gave us the beautiful end result we were looking for. They turned our dark, old lawnmower-storage shed into our bright, clean master bathroom. We will recommend them to everyone!

Our basement project was a great success. It was done on time. Workers were very professional and had excellent suggestions for making the overall project go smoothly even with changes. Have recommended Pathway to friends and neighbors.

Pathway was on time, on budget, and on schedule. They proactively helped us resolve all those difficult design decisions and helped us source the appropriate materials to meet our design, budget and eco-friendly aspirations. After hearing many horror stories our renovation was fast and relatively painless. We would strongly recommend them.

Pathway's level of care and communication exceeded our expectations. They maintained a clean job site and respectful schedule so we could live at home during a very extensive project, meeting with us every morning to check in and ask questions. We trusted them to make good recommendations on materials and methods, and when we wanted to do a part of the project ourselves, they left instructions and lent us tools. We were additionally impressed by the way they maintained relationships with our neighbors. When we wrapped up the project, they brought us a binder of all the related subcontractors, warranties, and contracts. We loved working with them and would highly recommend Pathway for any sized project.

After having several remodels on my home by a different contractor who retired, I gave Pathway Design & Construction a try when I needed my kitchen and deck remodeled. The overall experience with Pathway was outstanding. They were extremely receptive of my feedback and went out their way to resolve any issue that I brought to their attention. The quality of their work and craftsmanship was excellent. There was always good communication from the initial planning stages to the final project review. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

I have enjoyed working with Pathway Design & Construction and would be happy to refer them to anyone looking for quality work at an affordable price.
