Verum Construction Inc. Reviews

I highly recommend the professional and skilled talents at Verum Construction. They completed a two-room addition on our home and an outdoor living room, exceeding our expectations at every turn. They take great pride in their work and are greatly detail oriented, making sure the job is done right the first time. They arrived on time and worked long days to complete the project in the shortest time possible. At the end of every day, they cleaned the job site, sweeping the floors and organizing the materials. Because I work from home, I interacted with them daily. They were respectful, kind, friendly and helpful. My husband is a general contractor and is impressed with their skills and craftsmanship. They are proficient at framing, finish carpentry, cabinet installation, painting and siding, just to name a few. And whatever services they don’t provide, they have recommendations for skilled sub contractors. Dale and Bryce and the entire Verum team are a pleasure to work with and are the gold standard for a construction company.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Verum Construction on an addition to my house. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled construction company.

I can highly recommend Verum for any remodeling needs. They completed an extensive kitchen and mud room remodel on time, on budget, and the finished product is amazing. They have been great to deal with every step of the way. Their employees are exemplary, as are their subcontractors. This remodel had many challenges and we couldn’t be happier with their communication, expertise, attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Our family is very thankful for the Verum team. We have little experience with building and they were able to clearly communicate the process and any foreseeable issues that needed to be discussed. We wanted to build an additional bay onto our attached garage and they were able to do so beautifully with matching our existing home and navigating around existing electrical panels. I met with several companies to bid on the job and really appreciated Dale's honesty and knowledge when he first came out. Andy was also part of the starting process to review goals and any possible issues. Thomas led the project and was absolutely wonderful to work with as he kept us informed and updated throughout. He was quick to reach out to us or any of the subs when needed and kept things rolling. In all, Verum provided a great combination of building talent with down to earth, genuinely nice people. We strongly recommended them.

We wholeheartedly recommend Verum Construction Inc. for any project, whether it be small or large. We were guided through and made part of the team from the first CAD renderings of our two-story addition, through the budgeting and all the way to final inspection. My husband has been in the construction industry for 40+ years and agrees with me that Verum’s open, honest and transparent approach is absolutely refreshing. Each member of the Verum crew was personable and skilled well above the “average contractor” and the subcontractors they hired were excellent and provided quality work as well. Being the one working at home, I especially appreciated the on-time arrivals/departures and the cleaning up of the job site at the end of each day. We won’t hesitate to call on Verum for any future projects or refer them to those looking for a reliable and trustworthy general contractor.

Verum Construction recently designed and constructed a new home office with French sliding doors for us. Their craftsmanship is impeccable. We’re so happy with how our new office blends seamlessly into the existing design of our home. We are impressed with Verum’s extensive construction expertise, project management skills, clear and prompt communication style, and honesty. We highly recommend Verum Construction and look forward to working with Dale, Andy, Thomas, and team again on our other home remodeling projects.

Verum built us a lovely covered patio. They were very responsive throughout the project, which involved a change of design to include conversion to a flat roof and adding a balcony. They were very flexible to work with and the crew, Thomas and Payton, were very diligent and respectful. Andy, our project manager, was always available for questions. The project lasted longer than we had expected given supply chain delays, but we are delighted with the results. I would highly recommend Verum Construction.

Great people to work with! They absolutely care about the quality of the work they do.

Verum is an incredible company to work with. We are working on a large project and are currently been phase 1 and phase 2. The value that Verum brings with them extends past their craftsmanship and attention to detail; the team truly takes ownership of the work and offers their professional advice on maximizing the project. Multiple times they have addressed issues or offered their advice bringing functionality, beauty, and overall efficiency to our home. We are thrilled to have them on the project and can't wait to see how the rest of it builds out. I highly recommend them and have been since beginning to work with the team. Your project is on good hands with Verum Construction!

Our home is a 1960s rambler that was in desperate need of a kitchen remodel and opening of living area floor plan, Verum was recommended to us by several people and we hired them to take on this project. Andy, our project manager was timely, open to all of our ideas, and was able to easily implement each addition to our remodel as we created our dream design. Their designers were creative and precise and truly captured our vision. Our project was no small matter, they reframed our roof and vaulted our ceilings, built us a fireplace and created new windows in each area of our living space just to name a few things. They truly brought the outdoors inside which is just what we wanted. Through out our 14 week project they communicated with us well, responded to our requests, and picked up the pace when we really needed them to. Our appliances were ordered and ready, we had a set back with our flooring back ordered, but they were still able to complete our project in a timely manner. The overall quality of the construction is truly a work of craftsmanship. They are an excellent team of talented finish workers and ensured that we were happy with everything. There was an issue with the cabinets being drilled improperly and they promptly took them down and fixed them and brought them back perfectly. Each piece of our project was handled well, talked through and we had a major role in the entire process which was very affirming. We are so so happy with the end product. We cannot say enough good about the work done in our home and the respect we have for this company, and the mutual respect they showed us. The way this remodel has changed our life and how we live in our home has been so amazing. Thank you, Verum! Noah and Janae Foster and Family

DETACHED SHOP/GARAGE BUILD: When you are looking for a contractor to work on your major or minor projects, and trust them with your HOME, MONEY, and DREAMS, there are a couple of key points of service that will make or break your relationship: 1. Communication 2. Patience 3. Jobsite cleanliness/property management 4. Timeline Management 5. Professionalism Verum Construction, and the entire team of employees, and their sub-contractors hit 100% of the mark. We began discussions with Verum in late 2021 for contracting to build a detached shop/garage in the city of Bothell. After working with Dale Loukusa, their lead estimator, and going through a couple of bid revisions and subsequent negotiations, we signed paperwork in January of 2022. There was a budget, a timeline, and a possible order of events for those metrics. We started construction EARLY!! on June 20th of 2022 and the race was on. From the beginning of the bidding process, to the start of ground breaking, to virtually every step of the way...the Verum Construction team was amazing to work with. Our "General" or supervisor, Mr. Andy Wittenberg, was a joy to work with. He was always on time, managing the sub-contractor flow, and keeping us informed of any progress, or delay, as soon as he knew of them. He even did so during family vacations, as well as away time. Amazing customer service!! When we wanted to see slight revisions of plans, or add to the project scope there was great workability, and an eagerness to help us see our vision. On that note we added quite a large "change order" to the last portion of the project and added a covered living space. We came to an agreement on price, with both parties wanting to see the project happen...and Verum Construction rose to the task. Even with the "change order" of good sized magnitude Verum Construction still finished our project within a couple of weeks after the estimated timeframe!! The project was pretty much finished around November 10th. We are 100% satisfied with our working with Verum and could not imagine getting the results we did with any one else. We will look to them for any next major project, because they have hit the mark!

Six stars. This was a great experience and the finished product is something me and my family will enjoy for years to come! I recommend anyone looking for excellent quality, honesty and transparency -- to choose Verum! The team went above-and-beyond.

The year I spent as a member of the Verum team has been one of the most impactful times of my life. Each member of the team leads by example, inspiring each other to lead lives of integrity and personal growth. I never once felt that I was treated unfairly, and found that when I gave feedback for the employee experience, it was honestly considered and put into place when applicable. The team has helped me cultivate positive habits for both my personal and work life that will stick with me forever. Every project was completed to the highest standard I have ever seen from a contractor, and the team prides themselves on doing the right thing. I am proud to have been a member of the Verum team, and I thank them for the memorable experience. There is no contractor I would trust more than Verum, and none that I would more confidently recommend.

Great team to work with. Professional and courteous and they truly live up to their name. We would and have recommended them.

I would highly recommend Verum Construction when considering a contractor for an outdoor patio. We had reached out to them after they completed a project nearby for a large covered outdoor patio. From the beginning, Verum was extremely professional and hardworking. The collaborative effort and adaptation to mid-project design changes led to the patio of our dreams. The Verum team was extremely responsive to our many questions and inquiries throughout the building process. They were extremely adaptable to mid project deviations. The quality of the work is terrific and has been positively noted by many. Additionally, we have had excellent experiences with each subcontractor used (Mike Dold with Koldson Electric and Evan with ProMax Water Heaters and Plumbing. Evan was able to quickly address a separate minor issue that arose while he was here finishing the contracted work. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the finished product. The space has already become a place for our children to grow and enjoy in addition to a parental respite when needed.

The short version of my review is that I highly recommend Verum Construction Inc for remodeling and additions. Dale, Andy and the rest of the Verum Team were great to work with. Prior to starting our remodel we knew enough and had enough of a plan to be dangerous but not enough to know what we wanted or how to make it happen. After several tragic meetings with contractors that ran the gamut of "hard pass" to "don't call me, I'll call you" we sat down with Dale from Verum. After a long conversation about what we were looking to accomplish I asked him what he thought. Dale laid out an idea, an idea that we nearly copied to a T in the long run, that took into account our goals for utilizing space as well as where we can grow in the future. I would learn that when they say they are a family company they mean they are a FAM-I-LY company. They understand completely how a family with young kids, teens and older will use space. That experience would shine through for the entirety of the project. After a process, which we learned a lot from in finding an architect and timelines for blueprints etc, we came back to Dale with drawings in hand. As I mentioned before, utilizing nearly all of his ideas. We had questions... a lot of questions about how does this happen and what about this other things and why is X better than Y? The questions were answered in stride. They were articulate and patient. My wife and I are both managers, planners and quiet control freaks so when I say they were patient, I mean they earned the title. If you've never gone through an addition just know that there is a lot that goes into setting the stage before you even break ground, a point that Dale was great at helping me understand in spite of my nervous phone calls and emails. When we broke ground and really got to see them in action I was always pleased with my interactions with them and their subs. Everyone was respectful and pleasant. My kids were interested in what was going on and appropriate time was taken to engage them. Not to the point of distraction rather it was evident that they understand families and they understand a child's interest. I never felt a moment of concern that my family's interests weren't being considered at every step. As with any project there are changes, set backs, issues etc. It's unrealistic to assume that there wouldn't be. Whenever one arose Verum was quick to address it and were transparent with my wife and I. Ever respectful, patient willing to take the time to ensure we understood what was happening. And now for the sentimental, personal note. For most of my childhood my family lived in rental houses. When that's your reality you learn to not get attached to a house because you're only a month away from the landlord upping the rent or deciding to sell it or whatever may happen. Even with the house that we added onto and remodeled, it didn't feel like my home. Thanks to Verum's diligence, understanding, vision, knowledge, humor and workmanship I finally feel like I'm home. I have a place that I look forward to building a full childhood of memories for my kids as well as a place of refuge and rest for my wife and I. I'll take this moment to mention that this is my 5th draft of this review as I couldn't quite find the words to describe my positive experience. I can't thank Verum enough for being such a key component in the addition. I wish you all the success and good fortune in the future for you and your families! Now about that outdoor living space...

In short, I highly recommend Verum when considering a contractor for a home remodel or any construction work. Everyone at Verum were straightforward, hardworking, and highly collaborative people. I believe the result of my remodel shows the ability and product that Verum can achieve. See below for a more detailed description of my remodel. Remodel Time frame: November 2020 - March 2021 (start to closeout) Remodel Scope of work: (2) Bathrooms & Basement area remodel. Project location: 1950s Seattle house The basement area was just about completely unfinished and aptly nicknamed "the dungeon". We would only go down there to do laundry. Verum met with me, walked through my house, gathered information in how I hoped to remodel my basement and make it more useable. Verum gave great advice and worked with me to complete a very successful remodel. The bulk of the work done for the remodel occurred in the basement. The foundation was cut and existing plumbing was removed/replaced/added for the bathroom fixtures. Windows were replaced throughout the basement, vinyl plank flooring was added, an exterior door was replaced, and walls were finished and painted. They also enclosed my furnace/water heater area and used antique bamboo sliding doors to make a custom closet so that the equipment was no longer exposed. Another custom touch was the wood shelf over the washer/dryer. The entire bathroom was added to a space that was previously just concrete. After tile/electrical/plumbing/wall finishing, the result of the added bathroom was incredible. The idea was to make it more of a spa type of space, and that was perfectly accomplished. See the pictures for proof! For the main level bathroom, everything was demoed and redesigned with Verum's guidance and creativity. A hallway closet was absorbed to allow the bathroom to gain more space. A lot of tile was added and all fixtures were replaced. The main level bathroom transformed from what felt like a narrow hallway to a truly comfortable and luxurious bathroom. Verum's hard work & talent made my house is a completely different space compared with the prior conditions and I would definitely work with them again.

We contacted Verum to design and build a covered outdoor deck. We had a general idea of what we wanted but Verum elevated the project beyond our expectations! Our new outdoor living space is beautiful and added so much value to our home. The whole process was super professional and communication seamless! Dale, Andy, Bryce, Thomas, and Chase ensured that we were completely happy with our finished project. We highly recommend Verum and would absolutely use them in the future.

We contacted Verum to build out our master bathroom based on several very positive recommendations on a local Facebook group. We are extremely pleased with the results! Dale and Bryce were very attentive and open in their communications. Dale was very upfront during the initial consult, and was careful to work within our budget. This made us feel very confident that there would be few "surprises" along the way. Andy, our project manager, was fantastic! He kept the whole project moving, and everyone who worked under him, plus the subcontractors did amazing work. Everyone at Verum made sure to consult us at every step of the way. The subcontractors Verum used, specifically Mike the electrician and Evan the plumber were excellent and thorough. Everyone made sure to stand by their work. We cannot be more pleased with the finished project. This is a room we've been dreaming about for years, and Verum helped make it possible.

Verum is amazing! They were not only professional but very responsive and clear with the whole process. My patio remodel looks amazing and I couldn’t be happier. Andy was great to work with, adjusted to changes I requested as the project went on and I plan to have them back soon to do some additional work. Very highly recommend them!
