General contractor in Seattle, WA

Seattle's older homes were framed well but wired, plumbed, and insulated for a different era. Before we open walls, we check electrical service, drain lines, and foundation condition. That keeps remodel scopes realistic from the start.

Seattle's permitting runs through the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, and DADU projects need full building permits with design review. Typical standard reviews take several weeks, so we plan submittals and corrections into the schedule.

Many Seattle lots are narrow and steep, which limits where a backyard cottage or addition can sit. We check setbacks, lot coverage, and rear yard requirements early. Our goal is a design that fits the parcel and passes review on the first round.
