Home Repair, Olympia

“We are pleased to recommend Phil Petersen of Petersen’s Affordable Home Repair for your home repair needs.

Phil was recommended to us by our house painter because our home required some repairs before it could be painted.

We asked Phil to do a myriad of repairs; he did the following:

• Installed heavy-duty hinges on a garden gate

• Replaced and installed a new bathroom sink with faucet

• Repaired the leaking toilet

• Fixed roof flashing

• Fabricated and repaired trim and sills of 2 windows

• Removed dry rot, repaired, insulated one of the two windows

• Fabricated and installed flashing above three windows to prevent water intrusion

What was really great about Phil’s work with the windows is that he was able to fabricate sills and trim to make sure all three windows matched!

Phil is meticulous and thorough with his repairs. His is also familiar with the building code requirements and makes sure that the repair meets these codes.

Phil is very easy to work with. He told us exactly what he would do and gave us an estimate before he began his work. We told him that we would be glad to be a reference for him. He is our “Go to Guy” now whenever we need a repair done inside or outside of our home.

Please call us if you have any questions.”

“Recently my husband and I hired Phil Petersen to complete a home improvement project at our residence in Lacey, WA. He had come highly recommended by someone we trust and admire, so we took a leap of faith. I’m glad we did. Phil was a pleasure to work with. He was skilled, knowledgeable and paid attention to detail…all things that are very important to us. We plan to hire Phil again for our home improvement and repair projects in the near future and endorse him to anyone else who is considering working with Phil. ”

Renovation- Lacey, WA

Phil– I am mostly settled and Sellwood is great. Now that things are slowing down for me, I wanted to thank you for the all the hard work you did in helping me get the house ready to sell.

Replacing the bath/shower surround was a lot of work and the result was excellent! Everyone who saw the renovation loved it! I particularly valued your presenting me with good information about the various options. I felt more confident about making choices. You also made the project easier for me by coordinating with the plumber who had to replace the very old pipes and fixtures.

As the home sale progressed, it was a huge help to be able to call you to attend to some additional work on the foundation and installing handrails. Again, the work was done well. The handrails looked great and the appraiser was very pleased with the results. I especially appreciated your being willing to take on that project on very short notice so that sale could go forward on time and that you were willing to build handrails that looked good and were affordable.

A real bonus was your connections with other workmen who could handle very specialized home improvements. Like you, they did excellent work, were very responsive to my concerns and provided quality services at affordable prices. Again, this made the process of getting the house ready to sell much easier for me.

Lastly, I appreciated your friendly and calm style as we worked together. Selling a home is very stressful–at least it was for me–and it really was a huge help to talk with you about the process. Your calmness and clarity about the process helped me to stay grounded.

I would highly recommend you to people who are looking to make quality improvements to their home. Feel free to give them my contact information.

Cheers!

Cabin Remodel, Olympia, WA

Philip Petersen — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:21:27 +0000

“My husband and I moved to Olympia in May and bought a small, older cabin on a lake. We loved the house but knew it needed plenty of work. I had a vision of what it could become. The first time I met with Phil I knew he understood what I wanted.
During the next two months, Phil removed walls, scraped popcorn ceilings, laid down hardwood floors, installed extensive trim work, repaired drywall, created the perfect kitchen (with Trivonna’s help) and MADE MY DREAMS COME TRUE.
If Phil needs help, he has a network of very capable contacts. He always “knows a guy.”
Not only did we achieve the home we wanted, but hopefully we gained a life-long friend. Phil, you need to come by because Sydney (our dog) misses you.”

“Phil did some carpentry work for me; removing old Cadet wall heaters and thermostats, installing drywall and applying texture. It looks great. Phil is a craftsman, nice and easy to work with, timely and neat. I will seek his services the next time I need work done and highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional home repair or remodeling.”

New Flooring – Yelm, WA

Philip Petersen — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 20:09:18 +0000

“Phil was very attentive and informative to our needs. We knew we wanted new flooring but didn’t know which kind to go with. He is very knowledgeable about the products he recommended and also so helpful in our decision making. He is honest, like a friend would be. He didn’t try to sell us extras or push anything on us that we didn’t want. In fact, Phil gave us lots of repair advice & even went out of his way to check for a gas leak in our stove. We highly recommend Phil to anyone who is thinking about making any home improvements or repairs. We look forward to Phil returning for our next big home project. Thanks again Phil!”

Two thumbs up…way up to Phil Petersen who turned our dark and dank garage into a nice livable space for our son. He came up with the plan consisting of flooring, moldboard , and a new door, to design our new bonus room. He also put in a new floor in our laundry room. He is personable, prompt, and competent. He is now our “go-to” guy for small home repairs.
