Posted on Google Patrick Gallagher19 August 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with LYD Construction with a bathroom remodel was superb, I don’t think I could have asked for a better experience from a contracting team! From the quote which was in the ballpark of 2 other quotes I had received to the help Arie provided with recommendations and guidance for tile, vanity, countertop and fixtures, decisions were easier to make. A general items list was provided from the onset as to LYD’s responsibilities to the project which they adhered to the entire time. With Stephen scoping out the steps of the project and Tim here every day of demolition or construction the process flowed smoothly and I never felt that I was left out. I was impressed with the professionalism and skills of all the crafts people from the demolition person, plumbers, electricians, carpenters and the handy work to wrap up the final details.Posted on Google Christina Kwong7 August 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend! I am very impressed by LYD's team and attention to detail. They are truly one of the best, and extremely communicative and reliable. I love businesses that care about their clients and they are one of them. I feel that they are able to bring my remodeling vision to reality and more. I will proudly refer LYD construction to anyone in my network.Posted on Google Lane Kuhlman4 August 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. LYD completely remodeled the kitchen and bathroom in our 1943 home in 6 weeks. We initiated talks with Lior prior to Thanksgiving and got in their schedule in just a week. They started Dec 15th and completed the work over Christmas and New Year's while we lived in a nearby apartment since we only had one bathroom. They went down to the studs and replaced insulation and some rotting beams from the original build which had newspaper clippings for insulation from WWII era. They provided great recommendations for cabinets and fixtures and were very hands on with helping us select things. We didn't even need to hire a designer. They recommended free ones from Floor & Decor and Free Design in Bellevue (for cabinet layout). We especially loved their tile guy who did a custom bench and nook for soap in our shower During the project they found a leak in out garage roof we hadn't noticed prior and added the repair with only one extra day of work We are very happy with the outcomes! ♥️Posted on Google Daniel Pilat13 July 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Its beautiful!Posted on Google Debbi Gray6 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bothell. Kitchen, deck, interior flooring, painting. Outstanding experience with this company. They cared about our vision and were committed to quality work. Communication was excellent with texts first thing each day outlining what was scheduled and who to expect. Appreciated Lior's knowledgable help in picking out cabinets, tile, etc. Additionally someone was always available should we have questions. Their crew was professional and caring about the projects. Our backsplash was a challenging detailed tile and it was done expertly. I appreciate the quality literally daily. Amazed at the scheduling--there were no down days and the projects were completed in good time. We have worked with other contractors and this company spoiled us for any other. They truly take pride in their projects.Posted on Google Beverly Coghlin8 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

LYD construction was greatPosted on Google Reba Swartz20 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so very pleased with my new bathroom by LYD. My house is almost 100 years old and has been through a LOT of DIY mistakes. LYD took everything down to the studs repairing a surprising amount of hidden issues, making everything new, functioning and exactly what I wanted. I purchased the materials with their guidance and specifications so there was no mark-up which really helped to keep costs down while also making sure I got the tile and fixtures I wanted. Other companies required full design services and said what I wanted would cost at least twice as much or they didn't bother to ever call me back. As a facilities and project manager in my professional life, I have a lot of experience with contractors and the team I worked with at LYD Construction did a fantastic job while also having their hearts in the right place. For anyone looking for remodeling help, make sure you are clear about what your priorities are, put everything in writing so you and your contractor always have something to refer to and make sure you have the same understandings, and make sure this company is one of the ones you interview for your project.
