After purchasing a town home in the summer of 2013, we hired Phil Check and Associates to just about gut it and bring it to it's full potential. He and his team delivered more than I had imagined this home could be.
Phil and his team are more than qualified & capable to design and execute a remodel from start to finish with little to no involvement from the homeowner yet they welcome above normal input from the homeowner as well, as was the case with us. Through the entire process we felt like part of the team. We could not be happier with the results!
There were many times along the way that Phil made suggestions for alternate choices that were a savings to us and we appreciated that especially because the scope of our project was rather large. Together we blended the perfect amount of savings and splurges. His creative flair shines throughout from the sprinkler system line hidden within a beam to a half bath with motion controlled lighting on an antique mermaid. Phil creatively solved our lack of a 'pet area' by creating a hidden under-staircase area for a litter box. Problems solved one day after another. Some of the work Phil did for us included:
New kitchen remodeled from a peninsula to large island
New wood floors & carpet
Fireplace removal & replacement, relocated within the room
Remodeled 1/2 bath
New floor to ceiling stone accent walls on two floors
Build in office desk and hutch cabinet
Garage shelving
Remodeled laundry area and added barn doors
New doors throughout
New lighting throughout
Product selection throughout
Furniture & textile purchases
Phil's attention to detail and schedule are a huge asset to his company. He is up with the roosters planning the day and sub schedules for his clients. He truly keeps his company moving ahead and on task almost round the clock. He's a gifted man surrounded by a very talented team and I can not say enough about them. Our project was huge and lasted approximately 4-5 months. We did not have a single negative experience.
If we have another remodel project, large or small in the future, the one and only call will be to Phil Chek. They really are the best!"
Sincerely,
Jon & Mair Blatt

"Phil and his staff have orchestrated each project from start to finish. Some of the projects have included a business remodel, our home bathroom remodel, picking paint colors, a complete kitchen make over as well as wall texture, furniture design, and sofa reupholstering...
Phil is always very patient and attentive to my ideas regarding our family's needs, regarding space design and working within my budget.
He is a master at color and design.
I really love working with this firm and will continue to work with Phil on future projects."

"Your name has come up more than once in the past few weeks as our house got its first repaint since you helped us with this grand project that still thrills us every day!
We stayed true to the colors you chose; and the house once again looks like the jewel that it is! Our painter was excellent, and he really prided himself in doing a first class job for us, often commenting on the design and choice of colors!
Just wanted you to know that we continue to be so happy in the house you designed for us! It still exceeds what we though could be done with the "dog" we orginally bought, but that with your talented help turned out to be a very admired house, and a cherished home for us!
Stop by with Glynnis anytime. We'd love to see you!"

"I can't believe it has been so many years, but I'm here to stay in the beautiful home Phil Chek helped create. Phil has provided beautiful, innovative, period-appropriate designs and contracting for three large remodeling projects for me. My frist was a 1960's 1100 sq ft home. He made every inch of space (inside and out) livable and beautiful.
Then I moved to a 1926 bungalow in Portland, Oregon, and Phil again, completely transformed a 1960's master bed/bath remodel, into a luxurious, yet period-true master bed bath suite. Phil has a HUGE creative vision of the future of a home.
Our final remodeling project of the 1926 bungalow was a kitchen, family room, dining room and outdoor living space...they were all connected. The final wrap was siding and roof. He changed each living space so instead of feeling comfortable entertaining a few, we could easily entertain more than 30.
My homes were relatively small projects on his radar, but I never felt unimportant. He has designed large commercial projects, NBA player's homes, well-known artists, etc. His vision is unlimited..."

"Dear Mike, Although we have met, I am Dan Heine, former Founder and CEO of The Bank of Oswego. I resided on the perimeter of our Country Club and was a social member for years. I am now retired and live in Naples, Florida. When I was talking to my friend, Phil Chek the other day, he was telling me about the possibility of being selected to remodel our Country Club. Being a great fan of Phil, I offered (unsolicited) to write a letter of reference to you and your Committee.
I have known Phil for about 10 years through a business relationship which also became a great trusting friendship. I offer two words of recommendation...."Hire Him"! What gives me such confidence in his creative talents is work that he has done for me and also being his banker with several upper end (and demanding) clients in Portland and Lake Oswego. I also state that I have been involved in Board and Strategic Planning & Building Committee service in three out of state country clubs over my 45 years in business. Allow me to relate three specific examples backing up my recommendation:
1. My Chandler Rd. personal residence was completing renovated by Phil in the original style of the home (Pietro Belluschi). His office provided the architectural drawings, interior finishes, and Phil was the project manager. He selected excellent Subs and they performed on time in a very professional and competent manner; and importantly under budget. A noteworthy mention.... was impressed with the creativeness of how he modified our spaces and brought the 50-year old architectural style of the home to the 21st century with the latest, state-of-the art finishes. Many visitors to our home always complimented us the uniqueness and quality of our finishes.
2. When I was President of The Bank of Oswego, our bank donated a healthy amount of money to redo the lobby of Lakewood Center for the Performing Arts in celebration of their 60th anniversary. The only condition was that the design and work had to be done by Phil Chek & Associates, which was graciously accepted by their Board of Trustees. The existing space was really outdated and the new remodel has become a very impressive and distinctive statement of eloquence for those who enjoy the theater and other special events at Lakewood. Phil Chek & Associates provided a traditional yet updated design with new finishes, beams, fireplace, paneling and furniture; thereby creating an intimate and inviting environment. I still can't believe how they met our short time schedule with such quality workmanship; while working around the staff's daily activities.
