Batt & Lear

Jul 2018

We had a very positive experience working with Batt + Lear. We presented them with the challenge of adding a downstairs powder room to our home built around 1900. Space was very limited and it was difficult to find a placement that wouldn’t take away part of our view of Lake Washington. But their creativity helped to find a way. Jason and Jan took us through various designs which helped us to determine what would be the most worthwhile solution and keep to the architectural integrity of our bungalow house. We did end up spending more than we had originally anticipated but there was considerable more remodeling done in our kitchen, family room, and an upstairs bedroom than we had anticipated. And, it was well worth it as the end results have not only been more enjoyable to us but have increased the value of the house. The crew was amazing! The quality of work from Greg, the project lead, and Paul the carpenter was outstanding. As well, each and every worker or contractor was pleasant and did impeccable work. They matched the details of a house and cabinetry that is over 100-year-old which we view as no small feat. We set a budget with them before the project began and time frame. There were some additional expenses but we were able to discuss our concerns and come to an agreement. And what was so important to us, the work was finished on time! No delays and no downtime. We have received many compliments on the remodel and comments from our neighbors about how nice all the workers were. Although we were away when our interior chimney was deconstructed, we heard that it was quite the neighborhood event! We highly recommend Batt + Lear.
