A Design + Build Company
See what others think about us Review by Shawn from Seattle, June 09, 2015 Maltom, Inc. is highly recommended. Maltom is a design/build firm, but we had most of our design work already done and they have been able to bring the design to reality. Tom Lakomski is the owner and he has done a wonderful job managing the project, keeping to an aggressive schedule, working within our budget, and communicating with us on almost a daily basis. The project permitting got started in early February, we moved out in March, and we are scheduled to move back in early August. The team and sub-contractors have been timely, professional, clean, and the work is impeccable. Remodeling is a daunting experience, and there are countless decisions to make and materials and labor are so expensive. But Tom has been an incredible resource, understanding our budget and working with us to build a sleek, modern (transitional style), high quality house that we will be able to enjoy for decades to come. We would highly recommend Maltom with no reservations, and you can expect to get high quality work within your budget with clear communication and adherence to schedule. I will note that my husband and I have been extremely organized and very focused and clear about our design, scope, and budget - and this style has worked very well with Maltom. We have had only a few change orders (Cat 6 in the house instead of cat 5/canned lights in basement/nest thermometer/tile shower in guest bath instead of tub). Although our contract specifies a 12% change order fee, Tom had told us that the fee would be waived if the changes were discussed in advance and did not impact schedule or cause major changes etc. We have found that to be the case for all of our change orders (that the fee was waived). At the beginning of the project, Tom created a shared google calendar with us for all of the stages (permitting/demo/foundation/electrical/HVAC etc.), and has also given us written weekly progress reports and an ongoing task list. Tom understands that we are building our dream house, and often has suggestions about not only the infrastructure, but material finishes, fixtures, and modern design ideas. For example, last week he asked us how we wanted the front of the house to look (we are doing hardie board siding), and suggested that in the gable area people often add a contrasting shingle or shake to add interest. We ended up going with cedar shakes due to his suggestion, but truthfully we would not have even thought about it until all the hardie board was up. Just one example out of many that we have worked through - since we have not been working with an architect, his suggestions and advice have been invaluable. Review by Monique P. in Mill Creek, WA 5 STAR CRAFTSMANSHIP!! From the moment we determined we were going to use Maltom, Inc. to remove our outdated vinyl, tile, & hardwood in our kitchen, laundry, front entry and fireplace we couldn't have made a better choice! (installed Travertine). Tom (owner) and his crew were so incredibly talented in their craftsmanship, very thorough through demo, install/cleanup that they surpassed our expectations after reading reviews! I'm incredibly meticulous, and won"t settle for less, but I have never felt more confident throughout the scope of this project than I did working with these guys!!! Top notch service, craft and professionalism! Hands down, we would refer them to anyone looking for an impeccable end product for their remodel...they do everything you can imagine so you're not hiring out multiple people to get the job done. We're already trying to determine when we can have them back to install granite in our kitchen and remodel our bathrooms!! AMAZING WORK!!!!! Review by Marcia J. in Bonney lake, WA Maltom turned our master bath into a fantastic spa retreat with their great quality workmanship. Their work ethic and patience made them a pleasure to work with and the results are AWESOME. I definitely recommend them and would not hesitate to use them on any future project. Review by a Neighbor in Sammamish, WA Great work, professional, kept work area neat, arrived on time each day, and kept me well informed of project details throughout the project. Review by Corbin B. in Seattle, WA Stellar work, done on time and within budget. You guys did a great job! Review by Andrea C. in Puyallup, WA Great work at an affordable price. Professional and quick. Would absolutely use them in the future and plan to. Review by a Neighbor in Kent, WA Our experience with Maltom, Inc. was excellent! The workmanship is top notch. Tom was great to work with; arriving on time, working hard, answering questions, and cleaning the project area each day. Review by a Neighbor in Auburn, WA Tom is a prompt and good worker and met his promised completion date, going out of his way to do so. He documents what he will do and delineates the parts and labor costs for each listed task. Review by Venus K. in Tacoma, WA Tom did a wonderful job on our basement, we couldn't be happie!. The peace of mind that came with knowing we picked the best man for the job was evident in his work-ethics and craftsmanship. His creative vision went into his work, not into our pocket-books. We are so delighted with Maltom Inc. that we have set-up future projects with this company and wouldn't think of going with anyone else. Review by a Neighbor in Seatac, WA Work was done well and on time. Estimate was spot on for final cost. That is amazing. The price was much lower than the other estimates. I will be using them again and recommend them to friends and family. Review by Robert J. in Seattle, WA I got a bid and service guarantee contract from Tom. His bid was the same as what I ended up paying! Tom went above and beyond and went to Lowe's with me to make sure we got the correct materials. I was able to get my condo listed for sale on schedule because Tom was so accommodating and professional. The kitchen floor looks great, down to the trim pieces. It will definitely help me sell faster and for more money. Thanks Tom! Review by Valerie K. in Tacoma, WA Not only was Maltom, Inc very fair on the price but also very nice, punctual, clean and very helpful. I do have to say Maltom Inc has made a customer for life out of me and I will use them for all my future projects. The floors Maltom Inc installed look very nice and Maltom Inc really made my day, my week and my year. Thanks Maltom Inc, you are incredible and your work is fantastic....!!!! Review by Jessica M. in Seattle, WA Maltom, Inc. was extremely professional, always on time or early for scheduled work, and only recommending only what was necessary to repair the skywall and ensure it no longer leaked. The job was done very well, and I am extremely happy. Review by Mario M. in Seattle, WA He did both my bathrooms in 2 days. He was wonderful and I am satisfied with his work I would highly recommend his work. Review by Jeff L. in Seattle, WA Tom and the guys from Maltom did an outstanding job on the project. Tom's bid was very competitive, he and his crew arrived on time every day, and they quickly completed the project without problem. Tom also had no problem with changes to the project, including those that we brought up while the remodel was on-going. On top of that, Tom did not use the changes as an opportunity to allow the final bill to go through the roof. In fact, the bill was surprisingly under the estimate. The bathroom looks awesome. Highly recommended contractor! Review by Alexander C. in Seattle, WA Tom was very professional and easy to work with. He was very accommodating to our requests and changes. His work was done ahead of schedule and with quality craftsmanship. His bid was detailed and fair. I would not hesitate to use him again.
