FAQs

 

Can you provide me with an estimate?

Yes. We provide free verbal estimates to all our potential clients in the Greater Seattle area. For itemized cost breakdown estimates, we do request a fee of $350 per $10,000 in projected project price. This estimating fee is nonrefundable but will be applied toward the total project price if a work order is agreed upon.

 

Can you help me come up with solutions for my space?

Yes! We enjoy working with clients to help them develop their vision for their homes, especially in Lake Forest Park and Shoreline, WA. Home remodels and custom builds are a journey to be enjoyed and the customer’s desires to be indulged to maximize the experience of one’s own utopia.

 

Can you help me with permitting?

Yes. Our team can operate as homeowner agents with your local jurisdiction to facilitate and navigate the processes of applying for permits, handling inspections, and dealing with any other obstacles the government may pose.
