Constraction reviews in Seattle, Washington

I couldn't possibly express in a short paragraph how impressed I've been have the crews from Complete Trenchless out to install a new water service line. Very polite, professional, and quality work. I would recommend this group to everyone needing this type of service. Definately a thumbs up to Cesar, his brother, and their crews!

I hired Complete Trenchless to install a new water line from the meter to my house (under my driveway). They gave me a bid one afternoon and came out the next day to do the work. The work was great - it passed City inspection the first time - and they did it for a great price. I would definitely recommend them.

Cesar and his team are a step above the rest! They replaced my water line from the street to the house (using their trenchless technology). Their communication, efficiency and quality of work was impeccable. I'm recommending them to my friends, colleagues and clients. Thank you Cesar for a wonderful experience!

I called on a Saturday for an emergency water main break at our home. Cesar came Sunday, gave us a very reasonable bid and the crew came Monday. They did the full line replacement in a matter of hours . Great Customer Care. I’d give hime more stars if I could!

Cesar and his crew - Ignacio and Armando did a great job of replacing my main water line. Took more time to find the second shut off valve then the repair. Commend them on leaving the wok site tidy and communicated well on the progress. I really appreciated their responsiveness to all of my questions.

Complete Trenchless replaced a 270 ft water main to our home, tunneling under landscape, two driveways, and a garage floor, and you can’t even tell that they were there. Amazing work! Their bid was significantly less than our other four bids, too, and they scheduled the work quickly and completed the work in 1.5 days. Highly recommended! Fantastic company!

I hired complete trenchless in Oct to replace a leaking water main connecting water meter from the street to my house, which is about 50 yard long. After talking to several contractors, their price is the best. Initially, I had some hesitation since the company is relatively new. I think previously, the company's name is full bore. Cesar told me that he changed the name because he wasn't in this business for 2 years due to some personal reasons. Nevertheless, I decided to give them a chance.

They arrived on time and the whole job took about 6 hours. It is December now, no leak so far. Today, seattle has the coldest weather, and the waterline wasn't frozen. Now, I feel more comfortable to write a review as I want to see if their work can endure the test of time.

Overall, I am happy with their work. The only downside is it is a bit difficult to communicate with the workers during the day of the work. Cesar told me he would ensure at least one of the crew speaks English, but in reality, very limited. It is not a big concern to me since the work is solid.

In the end, I also got my paid invoice so I can be reimbursed from the utility company due to the leak.

Few things I learned along the way if you have a water main leak:
1. If it can be done trenchlessly ( drilled ), don't do it with manual digging. Trenchless is always cheaper and better.
2. Hire drilling contractors directly. Hiring someone that will subcontract the job will always cost you more.

Cesar and his crew were AWESOME! The job was WAY harder than what they had anticipated. They had to drill over 1000 feet to install a correct water line to the house that was 3' deep. They ran into rocks which made the drilling very difficult. What they thought would be a one day project turned into a 4 day project. They showed up with positive attitudes and smiling faces. I would refer them to anyone. You can't go wrong with these guys :)

I had my outdoor water pipes replaced by Complete Trenchless, Inc. I researched other companies and selected Trenchless because of good reviews and best price. The supervisor and crew were wonderful. My landscape was put back in its place. Also, my water pressure was greatly improved. My neighbor had her pipes replaced as well, and we are recommending this company to all our neighbors in our Homeowner's Association.

Great experience with Cesar and Complete Trenchless Inc. Cesar and crew were prompt, very professional. Cesar quote was very reasonable and competitive. I had main sewer line with multiple holes in it with roots coming through. Cesar and crew workmanship was top notch and it was done on schedule including approval by city inspection. I was very happy to hire Complete Trenchless and I will recommend to all the people that I know.

Our main water line broke on a Friday evening and we had to shut our meter off. We gave Complete Trenchless a call Saturday morning and Cesar came to give us a quote within a few hours. He evaluated our situation and even went into our crawlspace to make sure they could hook up our indoor plumbing to the new line. Even with the short timeline, we received 4 quotes, and Complete Trenchless was the least expensive and able to complete the work the soonest. The crew came out first thing the next day (Sunday morning) and quickly got work. They installed the new line, got it inspected before hooking up to the meter, and had both ends connected within a couple hours. They tested the new lines for leaks and made sure we were back in business before covering up the small holes at the start and end of the line. After they left you wouldn't have even known they were there.

The main water line from our home to the street meter was leaking and needed to be replaced because our water bills were outrageous. Complete Trenchless was able to repair within a couple days and completely replaced the water line with minimal disruption to our daily routine. The team was professional, friendly, and extremely considerate when entering the house. The value they provided was head and shoulders above the competition when compared to the other 3 companies we had out to bid for the job. I'd definitely hire these guys again in the future.

Wow, I don't even know where to begin... Cesar is responsive, available, reasonable, professional, trust worthy, etc... I could go on an on, but instead will try and remain factual. I have two issues (1) I share a main in Greenwood (peat settlement or bog) - the PVC gives into a cement/iron section from the street before it connect into the city main and (2) because of the peat settlement the area doesn't absorb water so after heavy rainfall water pools in our backyard... I tried calling numerous plumbers and other trenchless companies... they were unreliable, didn't show up, quoted me unreasonable amounts incl. traffic plans/city permits w/o really doing the investigative work... in short never ending excuses to justify their absurd prices... I luckily found Cesar - he came out multiple times, I was always able to get a hold of him, he amended the contract to capture our agreement and agreed to do the work at reasonable price... so much so that I was skeptical! Don't be - these guys are the real deal! They are super reliable and professional and incredibly hard working! Within a week of signing the contract, Cesar had the city permit, his crew showed up and worked relentlessly to solve both my problems... dug out w/o needing to reroute traffic and injected a liner & installed a french drain, and restored everything - you could barely tell they were even here! And this was serious work that no one else would take on! Cesar and Complete Trenchless THANK YOU!! You are simply the best and I would recommend you any time!

Cesar was very prompt in returning my initial inquiry. The estimator was on time and gave a very competitive price. I got other estimates but theirs was the best. They performed the scope of work on time and with excellence. I found the entire staff to be very friendly, accommodating, skillful and efficient. I liked them so well that I asked for business cards so I could refer them to others (including some real estate agents I know) VERY HAPPY !!

Do not give a 50% deposit! We were going to hire this company to do pipe bursting for a sewer main upgrade. It was specialty work and the owner claimed he had experience doing this exact type of job. A few days later I found out from the equipment rental company that he had never rented this type machinery before and they are the only ones who supply it.

I called the owner stating we no longer wanted to work with him and told him NOT to deposit the check I had written him. I then notified the bank to put a stop payment on the check. Three days later I get a notification from my bank stating he tried to deposit my $20,000 check! Thankfully, we stopped it in time but he is a crook and is misrepresenting his capabilities. We ended up renting the equipment and doing it ourselves...should have done that in the first place.

Cesar was quick to quote and very responsive to any questions. They replaced a waterline that was leaking using trenchless methods. I am very happy with there work as you would never know the work was completed. Every areas was restored to as found.

I ultimately chose Cesar due to his promptness and his method only required his company versus me having to hire out 4 different contractors which would take a lot more time.

Highly recommended!

We hired COMPLETE TRENCHLESS INC to put a new water service line using their trenchless technic. Cesar and his crew certainly master the task and did a very good job. The equipment they choose fits perfectly for the scope of a residential project, meaning it's cost-effective without losing much of the tunneling accuracy. Some other contractors we interviewed proposed using a boring machine, which to me is overkill and waste of $$. The new line was about 65 feet, went in within a day, along with a new shutoff at the location we preferred. The new line comes with a 25-year warranty on labor and materials. We are very pleased with their work and have recommended them to our neighbors, and whoever needs to replace their residential service line.

Very happy with the sewer line repair that Cesar and his guys did for me. They were responsive, positive, and hard-working. Weather unfortunately added some delays, but the work got done. They offered me a very competitive price compared to other quotes I had received in the area. 100% would recommend to others.

I am extremely pleased with my experience with Complete Trenchless.
At the beginning of December, I was informed by the water company that there was a leak between the meter and my house. I called on January 2nd, and Cesar Lara came out in less than two hours to give an estimate. He described how the work would be done to minimize the amount of disruption to our landscaping, including walls, and I had an email estimate minutes after he left. I called the next day to schedule the work, and the following day his crew, Bruce and Tomas, arrived on time. They had to wait for the underground utilities to be marked before digging, but started to cut away the cement floor in the garage where the old water line entered the house. The utility marker guys arrived mid-morning, and then Bruce and Tomas worked for six hours straight until the new water line was installed, pressure tested, and the water was back on. They had to leave the holes at both ends of the project open, until the new line could be inspected, but were back the next day to fill everything in, and to patch the cement floor in the garage. These guys are rock stars, and except for the cement patch, I can’t tell anything was disturbed. As a side note, I knew I didn’t want to have to dig up our landscaping, so was looking at trenchless options. Google search brought up lots of plumbing companies that said they could do the work (in addition to normal indoor plumbing jobs), but in the end I decided to go with a company that specializes in trenchless work. And I am so glad that I went with Complete Trenchless. The whole process was turn-key, thanks to Cesar and his crew, and I couldn’t be happier.

Update:
Cesar reached out, apologized and rescheduled for another day. This time the team arrived and made a great job replacing the water line.

Original review:
From the other reviews it seems that this company does a decent job.

However, in my case they didn't arrive at all.
Two days before the scheduled appointment, and a week after they provided me with the estimate and a start date, Cesar stopped replying to my emails, and they never arrived. Now I need to find another contractor, and a week was lost.

Complete Trenchless did a great job replacing my home waterline that had burst. The Program Manager, Cesar was easy to work with and knowledgeable. His crew was very skilled and efficient with all aspects of the job. Victor ran a line across my yard, under my driveway and had it come out within inches of the cutoff in my garage. Kudos to Complete Trenchless for a job well done. I’d recommend them to anyone.
