My family has been in the construction industry for nearly 100 years in this state. I personally have nearly 30 years of hands on experience. I have lived in WA state my entire life, my wife and I currently live in Olympia WA. My goal is to give a very high quality of craftsmanship for a fair price. I take the utmost pride in my craftmanship. While I have a (206) area code cell phone number please know that we are local (98516) and live off of Johnson Point Road in East Olympia. Please look at my photos here on Angie's List and also look me up on Facebook under Vanderlip Construction to see more. Thank you and please keep me in mind for your next home remodel.
"Vanderlip Construction brought our ideas and vision to a reality on a master and guest bathroom remodel in our 1961 rambler. Eric is both an organized contractor and an experienced craftsman. He is a thoughtful and very responsive communicator who we could always count on to perform the tasks he scheduled throughout our project. He brought in very skilled team of subcontractors who he made sure didn’t disrupt our home life and office work activities. Eric was generous with sharing his expertise and insights that helped us make decisions on key details. We had about an 80 percent design and selected all the tile, fixtures, and custom cabinets but Eric’s attention to detail brought it all together, especially on our counters and master bath shower. Always patient and friendly, he wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the progression and the outcomes. He’s also committed to backing up his work. I suffered a serious leg injury after the remodel and Eric kindly went the extra step to come to our house and install a new light fixture in our bedroom. He scored an A+ on both bathrooms and we made a new friend."

We are a full service Flooring Company specializing in Hard Surface Flooring such as: Installaion of Hardwood Flooring - Prefinished and Unfinished. Sanding and Finishing of your existing Hardwoods. Installation of Cork, Bamboo, and Laminate Flooring. Tile and Natural Stone, including Mud Pans and Shower Surrounds. Concrete Floors - Staining, Sealing, and Leveling. We also install Heated Floors.
"We are in the middle of our 2nd project with Dallas Watson, both with Laura VanBrunt as our designer. We were very happy with the guidance and high quality work on our first project, so went straight back to DW the next time we needed flooring & tile. We have recommended them to family & friends. Two especially notable parts of our experience: 1) Excellent customer service. Laura was always available for us by email/text/phone, and met us in person at the DW showroom, our project site, and our residence- whatever was needed. 2) Conscientious installers. The folks who installed our flooring & tile took pride in their work and made suggestions on a few details that we didn't think about but probably would have regretted afterwards had they not brought them to our attention. I think that's a true tell for what you're getting with DW: everyone, through all parts of the business, is working to ensure a great end result. Project #1: updating downtown condo prior to selling Laura helped select wood flooring, carpet, countertops and paint that all coordinated with each other and uplifted our 8-year-old unit to the look prevalent in brand new buildings. This was our first time working without a general contractor, but Laura made it easy by coordinating schedules for everything, including with our painter. As unexpected details popped up during the project, Laura helped us figure out the best design choices and the finished product was really quite stunning. Our home sold very quickly for a great price, and we are confident that the high quality work on the upgrades was key to that outcome. Project #2: updating 100-year-old Capitol Hill condo Laura helped us with all major rooms: wood flooring in the living room & bedroom, tile flooring in the bathroom & kitchen and a new bathroom tub/shower tile surround. As in Project #1 she also helped us think through paint colors to coordinate with all the new wood & tile surfaces. The bathroom tile work is finished and looks fantastic, helped along by the installers pointing out some tile pattern issues that we had not fully thought through."

"I want to start off by thanking Alex, (Installer) his craftsmanship, thoughtful approach and attention to detail was the main reason for such a successful outcome to our project. I do like that Alex works for, (is employed by) the company, and was not a sub-contractor. This is important when it comes to accountability, if there’s an issue, it’s the companies issue, not the sub-contractors issue. I am a very high touch client, meaning I was very involved with all phases, and with that said, things still slipped through the cracks, details were missed. Again, lucky for us, Alex was able to stand tall and right the ship in the moment. He always had a fantastic solution or idea to make sure we were completely satisfied. Be sure to finalize all details and I mean think of every little thing before signing. Make sure all materials are covered, right down to the garbage disposal, otherwise additional charges will add up. Our kitchen turned out absolutely beautiful, on time, and we’re completely satisfied with the end product. And when it comes to working with a design/build company like this one, you’re not going to find many better. Especially if you can secure Alex as your installer."

"James and his crew at Cox Custom Remodeling did a great job with our bathroom remodel. Our house was built in 1900 and the nonstandard framing made things more complicated. His lead, Dan was particularly great, taking the extra time to understand components we picked that were new to him. James always had a positive attitude, showed up when he indicated and got things done. Low dust, protection for floors and respect for the rest of the house while the construction was going on. James also provided the best tile guy, Eugene, that did a fantastic job with natural stone and the complicated very fragile mosaic. We would definitely use Cox Custom Remodeling again. Great job guys!"

Travertine is a natural limestone cut into slabs and processed into tiles. In contrast, porcelain tiles are a form of ceramic made to mimic the look of natural stone. Travertine is porous and less durable than porcelain, which is extremely hard and resistant to scratching and water. Natural stones like travertine are also more expensive than ceramic tiles. Porcelain tiles cost between $3 and $6 per square foot.
To maintain travertine tile, avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that may damage its porous nature. Use warm water, gentle cleaners, and a soft microfiber rag or mop to wipe the surface. Then, dry your floors with another clean rag or mop. You should mop weekly and wipe up spills as soon as possible to keep your travertine looking its best.
Hairline cracks in travertine tiles often originate from cracks or voids in the concrete subfloor. You can avoid this kind of damage by applying an elastic fracture-guard coating on top of the concrete slab before installing the tile. The coating provides the added benefit of locking away any moisture that might otherwise creep up from the concrete slab.
Travertine tiles last between 75 and 100 years when installed correctly and maintained with the proper care. By regularly cleaning with the right products and handling furniture moves carefully, you ensure the tiles retain their natural beauty and strength over time. Consistent maintenance, including proper sealing, keeps your travertine floors durable for decades.
To reseal travertine tile, start with a thorough steam cleaning of the tile and grout to remove dirt and debris. After cleaning, apply a high-quality sealant to protect the tile surface. Sealants cost between $30 and $40 per quart, and professional resealing services charge $1 to $2 per square foot, ensuring your tile remains protected and visually appealing.
