Our Clients Love Us
  • Serhii K.
    Project manager
    Gold Standart remodeled our master bathroom in Bellevue, and the transformation is unreal. They built a custom walk-in shower, upgraded all plumbing, and installed heated floors. The crew was polite, clean, and very organized. Easily one of the best contractors we’ve worked with in this area.
  • Yana S.

    Creative director
    We hired Gold Standart Building & Remodeling, for a full bathroom upgrade in Kirkland. Old tub out, new tiled shower in, plus a new vanity and lighting. What I liked most was their communication. They told us exactly what was happening each day. Quality work and a great experience overall.
