For something as big and important as a major commercial, industrial or public works project, you need the confidence going in that you have hired the right construction company. Too many companies have ended up wasting millions of dollars by failing to deliver the quality, details, organization and innovation required of a major job. 

So when making the key decision to hire a company to build a bridge, school or office building, one of the best indicators to look for is repeat business. After a thorough background check and placing numerous phone calls to former customers, we found one in Snohomish County firm Moon Construction in Lynwood WA. Again and again, customers with major projects come back to Moon Construction when they want the job done right for everything from small office remodels to churches and day care facilities, to new tilt-up concrete commercial structures and public works projects like the remodel of a waste water treatment plant.

Moon Construction in Snohomish County: More Efficient, More Cost Effective

Moon Construction started off doing custom homes and saw their work featured in Sunset Magazine and others, but long ago moved into commercial, industrial and public works projects. At Moon Construction, customers get owner Cliff Moon and his 42 years of experience, as well that of the entire management team. There are five owners at Moon Construction, each a licensed contractor with the ability to lead their own job. This means Moon Construction has more capacity than many others.  Cliff Moon says, "Because each owner can run a project by themselves, we can take on five different jobs effectively at one time, or all of our five owners can work together on one single job, to meet client demand."

The crew at Moon Construction are also highly qualified so that the company can do much in-house that other companies have to use subcontractors for. Cliff Moon explains, "For example, the same guys that do the framing and the sheetrock also do the painting or the finish work. This means better quality control and flexibility. For instance, if the client changes their mind once they see the paint color being applied, we can adjust immediately in a way that's tougher for companies using all subcontractors."

Public works projects are often forced by law to go with the lowest bidder, with the result being a high rate of incompetency, cost overruns and missed timelines. But those who have hired for commercial and industrial have seen how expensive it can be in the long run to always choose just the lowest bidder. For example, some small upgrades in materials can save thousands of dollars over the years. Cliff shares, "For instance, you can get a cheap toilet for $85 but because the sides are not as smooth, it's going to stop up more. A small upgrade there repays itself many times over in saved maintenance and labor costs, or potential rent revenue lost from unhappy commercial tenants."

 
The Company of Choice By Those Who Know: Moon Construction in Lynnwood WA

Unlike other companies whose poor work results in vows of "never again" from unhappy clients, or worse, the decision maker who chose that company getting fired, the people who chose Moon Construction reporting being so happy with the good results that they go back to Moon Construction again and again.

Like one local school district customer named Forrest who we called as research for this article, who said, "They have done quite a few jobs for us and continue to work with us. We find them to be a competent and a good contractor that we will do repeat business with."  And another named John from an adult care home who told us, "I used Cliff Moon for at least four jobs with Community Homes. I was very pleased working with Cliff and that's why we used him four times."

One of the many reasons for the repeat business Moon Construction enjoys is that they give honest, accurate bids and sticks to them unlike companies that are content to bid too low, knowing the price will go up later. Cliff Moon tells us, "We can foresee changes that will be necessary and we include those in the original bid, so you don't have to go through a change order process. We're able to anticipate what the client is going to run into and can prepare them."

Cliff Moon lives in Lake Forest Park WA and is a father of five children, and grandfather of five. He he an interest in building at a young age, something he might have inherited from his engineer father. He started in the remodeling trade while in college and showed an intuition for the right way to put things together and now holds a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering.

Today Moon Construction in Snohomish County is the local company of choice among those who know, including experts like architects, whether it be for remodels in owner-occupied spaces that require a minimal amount of noise and dust, to a wide variety of commercial, industrial, and public works projects.

One client of Moon Construction named Steve at BPH Architects might have summed it all up when he told us, "BPH Architects has done a lot of projects with Moon construction. They've done a lot of remodel projects and additions including our own office building remodel. They did a remodel for Woodland Park Presbyterian in Seattle and are currently working with us on a project called Boulevard Park Presbyterian Church. We're very happy with their work. We would definitely recommend Moon Construction for your project."
