  • "Joy and I had the privilege of acquiring A.C.T. Builders, LLC to oversee and construct our new custom home  in Kalama WA. We cannot say enough good things about Charlie Marvin and his son Aaron.  It was a pleasure working with both of them. Throughout the construction they were both on top of everything, from scheduling of subcontractors to the delivery of all the materials. We were totally impressed that Charlie and Aaron kept us informed of what would be taking place from week to week, if changes were made, they would give us the cost before they did anything, there were no surprises. With all the construction completed we were very pleased and completely satisfied with the quality and workmanship that Charlie and Aaron put into this home. Joy and I would not hesitate at all to recommend A.C.T. Builders, LLC. on any construction project.  It was a pleasure to know them and to work with them throughout the entire construction.  I feel that we had the best contractor in the country."
    Hal and Joy,
  • "Our house was recently built by ACT Builders. We contacted several builders in the Longview area for bids. We were most impressed with the flexibility of ACT. Our budget was limited and dreams unlimited. Aaron had great ideas, helping us to know where to put the extra dollars to make our home special. Charlie's creative building abilities were shown in our fireplace and cabinets, he even made our economy tile look great. ACT Builders came in under budget with quality construction. We would unconditionally refer them to anyone building a home. Follow-up has been quick on the few items we noticed needing attention."

Remodel Client Testimonials

  • I want to thank you again for the fabulous remodel that you completed in my kitchen. I have been pleased with the entire process, from the initial bid to the final install.   I cannot tell you how much I appreciated the time frame in which you completed the job. It was also a pleasant surprise when you suggested that I could add some upgrades and still land within my budget. I was able to install brand new quality cabinets for less than the price of refacing my old ones. I was also pleased to be able to install granite instead of formica, as I had originally planned.   I did not think that you could demo my old kitchen, prep, and install an entirely new kitchen in the time that you did. Initial tear out was done on a Monday and by Thursday evening of the same week I was placing my dishes back into my brand new kitchen! Amazing!   I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who was considering a renovation or remodeling project. Feel free to use me as a reference at any time. Again, thank you for the fabulous new kitchen. I am very much enjoying it!   Sincerely, Michelle Lewellen  
    Lewellen Kitchen,
  • ACT Builders, Aaron, Charlie and Isaac, recently completed a remodel of our guest bathroom, and it was more than we expected for less than we expected.  We are not 'idea' people, so we really appreciated the great ideas that Aaron gave us for a totally new look for our bathroom.  Charlie and Isaac were excellent craftsmen, and a pleasure to work with.  We are very pleased with the results, and highly recommend everyone to consider ACT Builders for any remodeling project.  
    Dean and Judy Sutera ,
  • “From the beginning through completion, working with Aaron and Charlie Marvin with ACT Builders, was a wonderful experience.  We were impressed by their desire to carefully plan for and accommodate our special needs in the remodel. They were open to our suggestions and were good at offering other options, as well.  Since we were living in our home during the remodel, they maintained a clean area every night making it as non-invasive as possible.  All of the work was beautifully done and visitors to our home are so impressed with the workmanship and attention to detail. The end results far exceeded our expectations. We are so proud to show our home and the incredible work they did for us. We confidently recommend them without hesitation.”
    Terry and Donna Scott,
  • This letter is in reference to Charlie Marvin / A.C.T. Builders.  Charlie has done quite a bit of work for us on our home.  From installing windows, completely replacing our front doors, new granite counter tops in our kitchen, installing French doors, installing appliances, removing a wet bar and building out the necessary walls for cabinetry, installing canned lighting in our kitchen and all of the finishing carpentry work.  There is not one project that Charlie has done for us that we were not completely satisfied.  Charlie is a very knowledgeable Carpenter and takes great pride in every project he does.  There is always that special touch or the extra effort that makes his work unique.  We would highly recommend Charlie to anyone and for any project.   As a person, Charlie is an incredible man.  He is honest, trustworthy, dependable, hard working, and a very likeable person.  We truly believe that Charlie would be an asset to any company that he would work for.   Sincerely,     Phil and Sandy Hart
    "Honest, trustworthy, dependable, hard working, and very likable",
  • Charlie, Aaron, Casey, and Scott, We are very happy with the kitchen and bathroom remodel that you all did for us.  An amazingly pleasant experience each and every step of the way from the beginning - through Mr. Murphy - to the end that has finally arrived. We are glad you got a referral job from us by accepting our neighbors project at the end of our street (Bruce and Pam) Thank each one of you for being so wonderful to work with. Sincerely, Dave and Ann Palenshus
    Dave and Ann Palenshus,
  • We discovered ACT Construction by word of mouth.  Aaron Marvin gave us a bid to replace our old worn flooring that was extremely competitive .  The job was more difficult than anticipated because of the way the original flooring was laid.  Aaron stuck to his bid.  His crew did a wonderful job.  A year later we are still very pleased with the outcome.  Aaron has done other small jobs for us since and he has always been fair on his pricing.  Like finding a good mechanic you can trust, ACT has been a good find for us.  We can trust them to be fair on their pricing and their workmanship is excellent.
    Gary & Diane Benson,
  • I would love to share our wonderful experience we had with A.C.T Builders. In September, we decided to take the plunge and remodel our kitchen and living room. I really didnt have a vision I just knew I wanted change. Aaron came over and shared his ides with us and we were off and running. With Aaron's guidance, we made a decision to tear out the fire place and interior walls. This opened everything thing up into an amazing great-room. His ability to visualize was extrordinary and he worked with my self proclaimed frugalness. Without a doubt A.C.T. Builders stayed on schedule and worked around our busy lives. Our home had been revitalized with the expertise of A.C.T Builders. The Beykovsky's

  • A.C.T. Builders did an amazing job on our granite kitchen counters! Not only are they beautiful but they are also very competitively priced. The contractors were also pleasant to have in our home and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. They were an awesome referral for us and I recommend A.C.T. Builders to anyone looking to build your dream home or remodel your home. Amanda
