About this company
Encore Construction is a restoration contractor based in Arlington, Washington, serving Snohomish County and surrounding areas. Their main differentiator is that they handle the full arc of disaster recovery — water extraction, structural drying, mold removal, and the rebuild — under one roof. They bill insurance carriers directly and claim most jobs cost the homeowner nothing out of pocket.
On the equipment side, they use truck-mounted industrial pumps for water extraction, LGR dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers for structural drying, and thermal imaging cameras to find hidden moisture. For mold work, they build negative pressure containment zones with HEPA air scrubbers and apply antimicrobial treatments followed by encapsulation coatings. Having in-house reconstruction means they can tear out damaged drywall and put it back without handing you off to a second contractor.
The company has been in business for 12 years. Dimitri (also referred to as Dimitry or Dima in reviews) appears to be the owner or lead operator. Long-term clients describe using him for everything from small repairs to major renovations over the past decade. The team includes Arko, Joshua, and Efim, all named in separate reviews.
A perfect 5.0 stars across 53 Google reviews is rare for any restoration company. That said, the review volume is still modest, and a significant cluster of brief reviews appeared on a single day, which inflates the count without adding much detail. The substantive reviews — particularly from Local Guides like Grace, Andrey Tsarenko, and Judy Carrell — consistently praise fast response times and clear communication.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Arlington, Washington. Lists coverage across eight counties: Snohomish, Skagit, King, Island, Whatcom, Kitsap, Pierce, and Chelan. Specific cities named include Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, Marysville, Mount Vernon, Bellingham, Lake Stevens, Monroe, and Stanwood. The Chelan County claim is notably far from Arlington — confirm response time for locations outside Snohomish and Skagit counties.
Review consensus
Dimitri is named in at least eight reviews and praised for attention to detail, fast response, and clear communication. One long-term client (Kathryn Widell) reports using him for projects over the past 10 years. Arko is called out by Mark Datskiy as "awesome," and Joshua is singled out by Jordyn Vaughn for knowledge and customer service skills. Efim is praised by Paul Hryncewicz for fast attic cleanup. Across the substantive reviews, the most common themes are speed of arrival (multiple reviewers mention same-day or middle-of-the-night response), insurance handling, and the convenience of having one team do both mitigation and reconstruction. Kris Nikitsin describes a 1 AM extraction after a first-floor flood, with reconstruction handled by the same crew. Nikhila Manjunath confirms an overnight biohazard response.
0 found across 53 total reviews at 5.0★. No complaints to report. Zero reviews at 3 stars or below in the last 18 months.
On October 21, 2025, approximately 15 reviews were posted — many from accounts with only one review and several with no text beyond "highly recommend." This is a common pattern when a business asks friends, employees, or associates to leave reviews on a single day. It does not invalidate the company's quality (the detailed reviews from independent accounts are genuinely strong), but it does mean the perfect 5.0 rating rests partly on a batch of low-information entries. No owner responses exist because there are no negative reviews to respond to.
Dimitri/Dimitry/Dima (owner or lead — praised across 8+ reviews for responsiveness, detail, and long-term reliability). Arko (team member — praised for being "awesome" by Mark Datskiy). Joshua (team member — praised for knowledge and customer service by Jordyn Vaughn). Efim (team member — praised for quick attic cleanup by Paul Hryncewicz).
The substantive reviews paint a strong picture: Dimitri runs a responsive operation that handles emergencies fast and follows through on reconstruction. Ask for Dimitri directly if your project involves insurance coordination. Because the review count is still modest and includes a batch of brief same-day entries, request references from recent customers in your area before committing to a large job.
Keep in mind
- They do not perform mold testing or air quality sampling. You will need a separate testing company to confirm mold presence before remediation and to verify clearance afterward.
- Their service area claim spans eight counties, from Kitsap to Chelan. From their Arlington headquarters, some of those locations are 2-3 hours away. Confirm response time for your specific city before booking.
- The company is relatively young (12 years) with 53 reviews total. While the rating is perfect, the review volume is still small compared to larger restoration firms in the Seattle metro.
- About a third of their reviews are brief or text-free entries posted on the same day by single-review accounts. The detailed, substantive reviews are consistently positive, but the review profile has an unusual shape.
