These guys know feet, running, and shoes. Enough said. I have tried everyone and they not only fit you without selling you garbage you don't need, but they actually stand by their shoes. Run around...
These guys know feet, running, and shoes. Enough said. I have tried everyone and they not only fit you without selling you garbage you don't need, but they actually stand by their shoes. Run around the lake a few times and decide the shoes don't work- bring them back. They don't hassle you.

And my short list was:
A Better Roofing Company
Bruce's
The ranges in price were 5K to 12K (Jorve was the most expensive) both Bruce's and A Better Roofing Company had low bids, good material choices, and their work looked great.
I ended up going with Bruce's but I know the bids depend on their schedule and your job, so I would have both come look.
Good luck!

After getting 12 bids and doing extensive research we went with Bruce's. Their price was almsot 1/2 the in-town scam artists (e.g. Jorve) and the only other company in their league was A Better Roofing Company.
Bruce's was quick (2-3 days for a complex job, 1 for a simple one) and did a great job. Their price was almost the best and their service was top notch.

He is first rate. Dr. Isquith is a very good dentist. You won't get DVD players, cool technology, or a swank office. You will get someone who will make sure your teeth don't fall out long after you forgot how cool it was going to the dentist.
He enjoys his profession and has a very good (gentle!) team.

Then you will feel right at home.
Direct buy, famous for late night commercials, is a 35 year old catalog retailer operating out of "members only" centers where you can order items "direct from manufacturers" at "rock bottom prices".
The process: They don't divulge any details until you sit through their 2+ hour sales pitch, so I will save you the trouble. Besides a cup of tea or coffee they don't actually TELL you anything but the price of membership at the open house (it takes 2 hrs to make you feel bad you don't have one already!). Then they might give you prices on 1-2 items, usually something that is a big savings item (in theory) and hard to compare- such as flooring. They won't let you come back (or so they say) once you say no, and you have to sign up on the spot. The group I went with didn't have a single taker but there were 4+ couples shopping in the Bothell location on a random night of the week, so who knows- someone must have signed up.
The cost: $3990.00 for three years plus the option to renew for 7 additional years at $199.00 a year.
>> yes, you didn't miss a decimal, it is four grand to sign up!
The benefits: It is hard to tell because you can't actually look through their special merchandise books before signing up. They showed me a few prices that seemed good, but not great and you need to buy the brands they carry (e.g. KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Canyon Creek Cabinet Co, Jen-Weld, etc.).
What to do: If you are a major buyer of furniture, flooring, etc. then this service may be worth it to you. But if you want to do it, pick a big ticket item (like $5,000+) such as kitchen cabinets and bring it with you to the open house to get them to show you a similar item and see if it is worth it.
This is imilar to some of the benefits of using a general contractor who may be able to buy direct or using services like U-Build-It, but for me, I don't spend $4000 without proof of savings.... please post responses if anyone has actually seen the savings - or not!

You can rent their room out right on the lake. It is a great event place that is unusual and lots of added fun it you take advantage of their rowing activities! I am not sure on maximum capacity but they could certainly do 50-60 without a problem, possible 100-150 if you could use the outdoor space as well. Good luck!
