Mu-2 Inc.

As architects and the owners of Studio Zerbey, we've worked with MU-2 on 4 projects now and all have been positive experiences. Ted is easy to work with, transparent in his approach and prompt to address questions or concerns. We recognize and appreciate that MU-2 is well-equipped to understand what the design goals/challenges are and pro-actively works in a collaborative way with both the architect and homeowner to achieve the desired result.

This project went very well for the first 95%, but over a year later, we are still struggling to close permits and the company is not responsive. I gave MU2 a 5 star review after our project was mostly complete because of the quality of the work and experience during construction. However, due to the experience over the past year trying to finalize permits, I would no longer recommend this company.

I worked with these guys on two projects. 100% honest, straightforward, good guys and crew, doing their best to build something they can be proud of and stand behind, that will exceed your expectations. Old Seattle - honest, hardworking craftsmen, like Ballard used to be full of. 2 good guys doing great work! You Betcha!

Here is the letter I wrote to Ted + Geoff...owners of MU-2... As you can see, I cannot recommend them highly enough!! HIRE THESE GUYS!!! THEY ROCK! Hey There Ted + Geoff! I’ve long wanted to write and say a HUGE THANK YOU for the creation, build and completion of The Tiny House. WE call the it The Tiny House; It’s really our fantastic, cool, warm, modern, dry upright Garage/ Studio / Cone of Silence/ Reading Nook/ Crafting Studio etc etc We are SO VERY HAPPY with it! From our earliest meetings with Ted, you guys easily assessed what we were hoping to do and had the vision and skills to quickly come up with a plan, a sketch and date to start! Once the project really got going, it all moved along with great purpose! We very much enjoyed having all of you around the house…..the NPR crackling on the radio, the air compressor running in the yard, Woodrow scratching at the backdoor! It was non-invasive and easy! We were so thrilled to see the progress every day! In no particular order, WE SO APPRECIATE ; > the slick design ….our tiny house is oh-so-cool, and came out even better than we’d hoped! > your willingness to work with us on price, on schedule, on design > that you cleaned up so nicely at the end of each day > your can-do attitude about everything/ anything. Whatever we decided on, you’d figure out how to do it! > your creative problem solving and attention to details, suggestions for products and features, ways to simplify and save money > your killer building skills; the little structure is now plumb, dry, solid and built to last. > your patience, kindness and good humor with us through the entire process THANK YOU. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making it FUN and for making it FABULOUS!! Know that we would hire you guys again to build ANYTHING for us!! I’m already looking around for the next big project ! ;) If you ever need a reference, a letter, or to have a client call us to get the download on how amazing you are…. PLEASE don’t hesitate to ask!! Hope you all are happy and good! Thanks again so much! Cherese + Rebecca

My project (installation of a kitchen in my mother-in-law apartment) was bid and completed by Ted of Mu-2. Work included installation of cabinets, under cabinet lighting, exhaust fan, tile backsplash, custom mirror to replicate existing window, and trim out of the plumbing. He did everything in a timely manner, stuck to the bid with a few changes approved during the process, and did an excellent job. The highest praise given because he "thinks"! He offered some suggestions and options that neither I nor the designer had considered, and he was easy to work with.

We hired Mu-2 after talking with several local contractors when we did a major bathroom remodel in our seattle home. They turned one oversized bathroom into two beautiful smaller bathrooms. Out of all the potential contractors, Mu-2 took the most time to understand what we wanted and the resource constraints we faced. They also provided the most comprehensive estimate which helped us feel comfortable moving forward with the project. The crew was always on-time, pleasant, and very respectable of the rest of our space. I would highly recommend talking to Mu-2 for any home addition/remodel projects you are considering.

We contracted with MU2 to renovate the kitchen of a house we recently bought in Seattle. Without question we’ve been thoroughly pleased with both the process and the final product. They are honest, talented, forthright, dependable, trustworthy and, of equal importance, good communicators. From the preliminary walkthrough (with a number of contractors), during the bidding process, through demolition and construction, up to and including project completion, they demonstrated their ability to understand what we wanted, work within our budget, explain appropriate options and meet the agreed upon timeline. They are well informed about both available products and vendors. Essentially they managed the project and managed it well. We had pre-selected a firm to provide cabinetry for this renovation and MU2 took the lead as liaison with this firm, ensuring our satisfaction. Mu2 is worthy of our highest recommendation.

We hired Mu-2 Inc in the fall of 2011 to gut a house we purchased in Georgetown, move all of the rooms in the house around, and then put it back together again. The project started in September and we moved in just prior to Christmas that year (it's a small house, it only took 3 months). Ted and Geoff were amazing to work with. Their work ethic was high - each day they showed up at the same time (early) and they worked a full day each day until the job was complete. We obviously weren't living here at the time but all of our new neighbors were impressed with the regularity of their schedule and told us so. There was great value. Geoff and Ted handled everything from plumbing to wiring - in our house both were completely replaced - to hooking up our new washer and dryer when they arrived. And everything in between. We continue to use them on new projects here long after we moved in. This year they built us a beautiful fence - and it's an 8,000 sq foot lot - that has an awe inspiring rolling gate. I bought overly complicated gate locks on the internet and Ted and Geoff figured them out and made them work. They basically built gates to work with my locks! Currently they are building a deck off our kitchen and two sets of stairs leading down to our patio. We can't recommend them highly enough. You could call us for more details if you like. 206-328-2145 Michael & David in Georgetown
