Josh Sauter acted as our staff contractor and project manager in 2001/2002 during a year and a half renovation of a 10,00 square foot office building in Lafayette, California. His tasks were overseeing all aspects of the restoration and remodel job including running our staff construction crews and coordinating the subcontractors involved in the project. He drafted specs and sourced, interviewed and hired most of our subs. Josh also devised and drafted creative solutions to the various issues that arose during the job and he coordinated these changes with our architect and engineer and acquired the necessary approvals from the building department. Given that I grew up in construction and I now run a property management and developement company, I know when someone knows their job and Josh is among the best I've seen. Even after Josh left our employ, he always made himself available to assist with problems and offer advice. I can confidently recommend Josh Sauter as a competent and dependable project supervisor who is also enjoyable to work with.

I am writing this letter on behalf of Northwind Construction. We hired them on a couple of occasions. We have been in the process of remodeling an old home here in Klamath County, Oregon. They refurbished one room in particular when we thought it couldn't be done. In addition to high quality craftsmanship, Northwind Construction was always on time and finished the project in a timely manner. We highly recommend Northwind Construction.

This letter is in recommendation of Josh Sauter and Northwind Construction. He provided remodeling of the bathrooms and plumbing in three residences here at the Fall River Hatchery in Sunriver, Oregon. I found his bid to be detailed, accurate and well organized. As work progressed, I found his estimates to reflect actual costs. Their professional work habits were to be on time, fully prepared and well organized. I found their work to be precise, complete and of expert quality. I recommend Northwind Construction without reservation.

Northwind Construction was involved in the remodel of our vacation home in Sunriver, Oregon. Joshua Sauter's involvement required not only his specialty skills in construction and woodworking but management of subcontractors and coordination of the porjects' multiple parts. From the very beginning of the project Mr. Sauter was a professional. His behavior and skills in the various mentioned areas were outstanding. He not only completed the project early but did so with the final product being of outstanding quality. He was always available and paid close attention to details. having built and remodeled a number of homes in a number of different states, I can say without any reservations that Mr. Sauter is by far the most reliable and thorough individual I have ever worked with. I would be happy to use Mr. Sauter and Northwind Construction on future projects and intend to do so.

They did an outstanding job in giving us an accurate bid and timeframe and then staying on bid and budget. Josh and his employees were a pleasure to have around and very accommodating. The work ethic and professionalism was exemplary. I would highly recommend Northwind Construction and Josh Sauter for any construction project.

We had Northwind Construction do some remodel work on our home in Sunriver, Oregon and water damage repair on a couple of apartments at a complex that we own in Bend, Oregon. We highly recommend using them for skilled workmanship. We are very pleased with them ourselves and give them a three star rating. They are people that you can rely on.

To whom it may concern,
This is a letter of high recommendation for Northwind Construction headed by Josh, Tamara and Joel Sauter.
In October, 2006, we lost our home located on the Deschutes river to fire. Even though it took a lot of time for us to satisfy various agencies' requirements, Northwind supported us by staying committed to our project and helping us obtain permits and providing planning guidance.
Thier use of superior local contractors for cleanup, site preparation, septic system placement, electrical and plumbing installations allowed them to successfully stay on the proposed construction schedule. Their extra efforts for site and materials safety and their committment, even with the challenging weather conditions, gave us confidence while we were not in the area.
Their building and design expertise incorporated our ideas to produce a very effecient, beautiful home. We were very impressed with the way they followed the contract schedule, chose materials and kept us informed about the financial aspects.
Designs for the shop and well house helped make this project a pleasing and easy to use recreation site. We feel very fortunate to have had Northwind help our lost family cabin become a reality again.
