Our purpose is to make Grays Harbor beautiful through thoughtful renovation and development of its real estate. We're a local group tied together by a commitment to our craft.
Done right, first. Quality over expediency. 100% transparency and accountability — thorough contracts, real estimates, weekly updates, and a phone that doesn't stop ringing at certificate of occupancy.



From custom homes to remodels, we guide your project from start to finish — with a clear plan, real estimates, and an in-house designer who's part of every choice.
Semi-custom and fully custom new construction. Start from a Spivey plan, tune one you love, or design ground-up with our team.
Whole-home transformations, kitchens, baths, primary suites. Bring the same Spivey craft and design eye to the home you already love.
Second-story pop-tops, bump-outs, garage conversions, ADUs. Adding the room you need without leaving the lot you love.
Detached shops, carports, accessory dwellings. From bare-bones storage to finished living quarters above.
Great design is what separates a house from a home you'll love for decades. Our in-house designer guides every choice — from floor plan flow to fixtures — so the final result is functional, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
You'll complete our Design Questionnaire early on so we understand your taste, lifestyle, and budget priorities. Her answers shape both her recommendations and our build estimate.
Four signature plans we love, plus two pathways for designing something all your own.
Signature Spivey coastal cottage — open kitchen and great room, cedar-shake roof, beach-grass landscaping. The flagship plan.
9-ft ceilings, vaulted main living, French doors off the primary, covered front porch + optional back porch. The Dunegrass spirit in a smaller footprint.
Board-and-batten farmhouse on a narrow city lot — vaulted bedrooms up, open great room and kitchen on the main, covered concrete patio. Small footprint, big presence.
A larger, darker take on the Laurel — same European-cottage soul in a moody modern-cabin skin. Black board-and-batten, deeper porches, more bedrooms, more living. The Hoquiam, grown up.

Single-story modern farmhouse — white board-and-batten, cedar-shake gables, covered front porch, and an attached two-car garage. Already through design and approval: plans are stamped, engineered, and ready to permit in Grays Harbor. If you want to skip the design phase and break ground faster, this is your plan.

Bring us a plan you love — from architecturaldesigns.com or anywhere else — and our designer will tune it for flow, climate, and the way you actually live.
A complete arc — 6 to 9 months from land in hand to first dinner in the new home. Most clients fall right in the middle.

Clear and grade the lot. Install driveway approach. Stake house location. Trench for utilities — power, water, sewer, septic. Excavate and fill as needed.

"I greatly appreciate how they came into our new house and filled in the holes left by the many, many nails from the previous owner. It was done promptly and was quality work. Thank you!"
"Spivey has been amazing to rent from! Their maintenance team, Andy, is so professional and friendly. He does make me and my teenager feel safe as he is in our home. I thank Spivey ever so much! He's a Rock Star!"
Before any drawings, dollars, or dirt — the very first step is a conversation. We'll meet you where you are: whether you're holding finished plans, scouting for land, or just starting to dream.
