What You Should Know About Any Contractor You Are Considering:

The status of businesses certified in Washington State is public knowledge. We strongly recommend researching the remodeling company you choose to perform work in your home before signing any agreement. A quick and easy way to do this is to go to the Labor and Industries website www.lni.wa.gov. At the website, click “look up a contractor” in the right corner, then simply key in the license number or the company name when prompted. This access was designed for you to determine whether the company you are about to allow into your home:

 Is certified to have a business in Washington State
  • Is insured and for how much
  • Is in good standing with L&I (Labor and Industries) and current in employment fees
  • Has ever been cited by L&I or DOSH (Division of Occupational Safety and Health) inspectors and if so for what violation and at what cost
  • Has had any complaints by past clients, and for what cause(s)
  • Has ever been sued and the results of any such lawsuit(s)

Our Safety Consciousness Saves Time and Money

Tenhulzen Remodeling was one of a handful of companies chosen to participate in an ergonomic field study with the University of Washington. The results of this program improved correct body mechanics in the construction industry to decrease strains and soft muscle tissue injuries.

Our employees respect our safety program and our Safety Committee continually generates new ideas and improvements for the company. All employees are required to attend an annual CPR/FA certification class and regular safety training.
A site-specific safety plan is prepared for your project at the pre-construction meeting. Before the construction begins, we ensure our job site projects follow all safety regulations required by the State of Washington. For example: job site safety plan, weekly job site meetings, weekly job site safety walk-throughs. We also hire a professional safety contractor to visit job sites once a month to perform surprise inspections and audit similar to a DOSH inspection.
By ensuring safety on our job sites, the number of accidents and injuries is minimal to none. Injuries generate claims which raise the amount of costly fines and insurance premiums. Our low claims history enables us to pass on the savings to you.
