What this listing says
Tukwila and south King County homeowners dealing with water damage who want a single contractor to handle extraction, mold remediation, and full reconstruction under one roof.
Best for
- Tukwila, Kent, and Auburn homeowners who need water damage handled from emergency extraction through full rebuild by one company.
- Insurance-referred jobs where the homeowner wants a contractor who will handle claims documentation and communicate directly with adjusters.
- Residential water damage situations where mold remediation is needed as part of the same project, avoiding a second contractor.
- South King County property owners near the Green River valley dealing with flooding or storm-related water intrusion.
About this company
DKJAY Restoration is a family-owned restoration company headquartered on Strander Blvd in Tukwila, serving south King County and the broader Seattle metro. Their primary identity is water damage restoration, but they handle the full chain: extraction, structural drying, mold remediation, and reconstruction back to move-in condition. They also do fire and smoke damage work, roofing, deck building, and fencing.
What stands out is the single-contractor model. Rather than handing off between a mitigation company and a separate rebuild crew, DKJAY keeps the project from emergency water extraction through drywall, flooring, and paint. Their website describes using IICRC-aligned procedures, HEPA filtration for mold work, antimicrobial treatments during drying, and containment for mold projects. They also do mold testing in-house, which is worth scrutinizing (more on that below).
The about page lists 12 years of experience, 5 restoration specialists, and 100+ completed projects. Deniz appears to be the owner and primary point of contact based on reviews. The company holds Washington State contractor license DKJAYRL779DZ and a BBB A rating. They are also a member of the Washington Multi-Family Housing Association, which suggests some commercial property management work.
4.8 stars across 31 Google reviews is a strong rating, though the review volume is modest. Ten of those reviews landed on the same day in December 2023, most with no text and several from accounts with zero other reviews. The reviews with actual detail are consistently positive, but the overall count should be weighed with that context.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Tukwila, Washington (611 Strander Blvd). Serves Tukwila, Kent, Auburn, Bellevue, Seattle, and Tacoma based on website and about page references. The mold page lists statewide Washington service, but detailed local knowledge and review geography center on south King County.
Review consensus
Deniz is the name that comes up most often. Reviewers describe her as communicative, hands-on, and willing to explain the process, including the difference between mitigation and restoration (Patti Nequette's review). Eva R named Josh and Eddie specifically for handling water damage repairs, singling out Eddie's carpentry work. Multiple reviewers mention that finished work looked like the damage never happened. Insurance coordination is a recurring praise theme: several reviewers say DKJAY worked directly with their insurance and helped them understand the claims process. MJ McAllen, a Local Guide with 129 reviews who has worked with DKJAY as a general contractor, endorsed them for projects of any size.
0 found across 31 total reviews at 4.8★. No 1-star or negative reviews found in the last 18 months. The single 4-star review (Deedra Torres, February 2025) noted the timeline ran longer than expected due to back-and-forth with insurance, though she acknowledged that was not entirely the company's fault and was satisfied with the roof replacement quality.
Ten 5-star reviews posted on December 7, 2023, most with no review text and several from accounts with zero or one other review. This cluster could reflect a review solicitation push. It does not invalidate the rating, but it means the 4.8-star average rests on a small base of detailed, organic reviews. The detailed reviews that do exist are uniformly positive with specific project descriptions.
Deniz (owner/primary contact — consistently praised for communication and project management). Josh (repairs — praised by Eva R for water damage restoration). Eddie (carpenter — praised by Eva R as excellent).
The detailed reviews paint a consistent picture: Deniz runs jobs personally, communicates well, and the finished work meets expectations. Ask for Deniz by name and confirm she will be your point of contact. Given the low review volume, ask for references from recent mold-specific projects rather than relying on the Google rating alone.
Keep in mind
- DKJAY does both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company finding the mold is the same one billing to remove it. Ask whether they will accept a third-party test result, or get your own independent assessment before committing to remediation.
- The review count is low at 31, and ten 5-star reviews were posted on the same day (December 7, 2023), most with no text and several from accounts with no other reviews. The genuine detailed reviews are positive, but the overall rating is thin.
- The website claims both 12 years (about page) and more than 20 years (mold page) of experience. Ask Deniz directly about the company's actual founding date and how long the current team has been doing mold work.
- They advertise statewide Washington service, but their physical base is Tukwila and their detailed local knowledge centers on south King County. If your property is outside the Tukwila-Kent-Auburn-Bellevue corridor, confirm response time and whether they send their own crew or subcontract.
