Testimonials
“The professionalism and knowledge of our superintendent, Doug Palmer, not only proved to provide quality construction techniques, but also kept the project on track from start to finish. Doug’s expertise and knowledge of each facet of this build was exemplary.”
“Over the years Merit Construction Northwest has consistently provided superior construction of many of our branches as well as performing a full scope for us when a remodel was requested or branch maintenance was needed. Merit was more than helpful in answering any questions prior to the start of the project and continued to educate and provide solutions throughout the building of this branch.”
“Merit has been a diligent and positive member throughout the design phase and has demonstrated a proactive approach to teamwork and problem solving. Based upon our positive experience with Merit, we would anticipate the same degree of positive teamwork and success for your project.”
“Merit Company interfaced well with school functions and provided a safe environment for the staff and students as a result of their attention to detail and their approach to communicating the message to our staff. I am pleased to recommend Merit Company and look forward to working on future projects together.”

“Having worked with them (MCNW) on many projects over the years, I have found that they are a quality contractor and strong team member. Merit’s leadership of the construction team was invaluable for the success of this project.”
“Despite owner related delays at the onset and midpoint of the project, costing you weeks of lost time, meticulous and innovative planning by you and your staff brought the project to completion in accordance with the original required deadline which allowed us to move forward with our product initiatives as planned. Thanks again for another job well done.”
“I would like to thank Merit for the excellent job you have done for us with the Evergreen Self Storage building. We are very pleased with how our project turned out, particularly, the role that your company played as general contractor. We are grateful for all you have done for us and we look forward to the next project.”
“Since moving into my new facility, I have compared the quality to other similar buildings in the area and have discovered, to my delight, that many small details were given to my project that you don’t see on other buildings. This has given me a lot of additional value. I would highly recommend Merit to any potential client.”
“The contractor was very professional and cooperative throughout the performance of the contract. They maintained active communication with all applicable Government parties while providing on-site oversight of sub-contractors throughout the project. The quality of workmanship was evident at the final inspection with multiple customer comments on the satisfaction of the facility. The contractor took a very complex project of restoration of an old facility with a detailed Statement of Work for the construction effort to success on behalf of the Government.”
“I would like to express my appreciation for all the hard work that Tom and your entire staff put into the design and construction of Kitsap Credit Union’s Silverdale Highlands building. Tom kept the project under budget and continually provided his professional expertise in solving situations throughout our project. The staff is very proud to be working in this new facility.”
“It has been said that a man who works with his hands is a laborer and a man who works with his hands and head is a builder. But the man who works with his hands, head and heart is a craftsman. You have proven that you are a craftsman. “
“This was our second contract with Merit. We awarded them the first contract after conducting a selection process involving four contractors. We went to Merit when the second project became available without using a selection process based on our experience on the first project. Merit was integrally involved with the project from the beginning. They helped value engineer several aspects of the project and they were willing to assist us at whatever level we required to design and efficiently construct the most recent project. When we undertake our next project, we will use Merit.”
“Throughout the project, Tom Motland and the entire Merit team provided a very professional project approach and excellent documentation. This organization helped us move along with the work and helped communicate critical dates to the vendors who were working for the Credit Union. Tom Motland and Tim Holberg worked especially well with the various aspects of our internal teams and provided good communication and coordination. The attention to detail and quality of work was outstanding and solutions to issues that came along were addressed immediately.”
“All members of Merit’s staff demonstrated a high level of professionalism and were always a pleasure to work with. Their ‘can do’ attitude and commitment to quality were instrumental in the success of the project.”
“Our building is located on Joint Base Lewis McChord, which understandably added extra requirements to permit processing, jobsite access, and building codes. We found (Project Manager) Neil Shaw and (Superintendent) Larry Oathout to be ready and willing to take the lead, ensuring that Seattle Lighthouse, Merit Construction Northwest and all subcontractors came into compliance with these additional, yet necessary, requirements. Their leadership gave us confidence in the overall integrity of our building project. I would welcome the opportunity to work with the Merit team in the future.”
“My experience with Merit was excellent and I recommend them for this type of work in other commercial space. They were attentive to the projects and responsive to the tenants’ needs throughout. They also administered and managed the projects well and I attended construction meetings during both that they used to complete these hands-on projects on a timely and cost effective basis.”
“If given a choice, I would not hesitate to work through a team build process with Merit Construction Northwest again. Their value as a team member cannot be understated and the built product reflects their care for and extensive experience in the design and construction process.”
“On behalf of myself and Toray Composites, I would like to thank you as well as acknowledge your teams efforts in successfully completing the TCA-6 Expansion Project on time, under budget, and with no safety incidents. I would also add that this project is yet another project that MCNW has completed for Toray with the same great results. I want you to know that Merit Construction Northwest is a highly valued partner with Toray. By demonstrating your total commitment on all projects we have had you participate in you have earned Toray’s trust and respect. You have continually produced high quality results, maintained high standards for your subcontractors, been fair with costing, and most importantly safe. I think this is a great accomplishment considering the complex nature of many of the projects you have completed for us.
Please pass this on to your team. They should be proud of the work they have done here and know that we have the utmost confidence in them. Please feel free to use this letter as you see fit and also I encourage you to have anyone considering MCNW for a project contact me as a reference.”
