Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to work with an architect for a custom home build?
You will need an architect to design your custom built house. If you do not have an architect, we can put you in touch with one. If you already found an architect, we will collaboratively work with them in order to make your new build a reality.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
This entirely depends on the kind of home, size of home, season during which the construction takes place, and many other factors. Contact us today to discuss your needs and we can give you a more accurate timeline.
Do you remodel historic homes?
Yes, remodeling historic homes is one of our specialties!. Our expert remodelers can help with all aspects of historic remodels, whether you are looking to match hand-crafted finishes or update your home with modern touches. Contact us today to learn more.
Do you remodel rented storefronts and offices?
Yes, we do! We offer tenant improvements and we have worked with a number of noteworthy businesses in the Portland and Seattle areas to create beautiful remodels.
Do you use sustainable practices during construction?
We care about our impact on the environment. We make every effort to be environmentally-conscious during our builds. We also specialize in high performance building, which is more energy efficient and eco-friendly than traditional building methods.
