Yes — WA L&I number SPIVEBC764M4. We're licensed, bonded, and insured for every project we take on.
Depends on size. 3–4 months is fairly common; homes above ~2,500–3,000 sq ft may take 6 months or more. From the very first conversation to keys, plan on 6–9 months total.
As of January 2026 we are a fixed-fee company — what you see in the estimate is what we charge. No cost-plus, no surprise markups.
No, not really. If construction starts more than 6 months in the future and material or sub costs shift, yes — but that is very rare.
You won't. If financed, lenders include a 5–10% contingency for the unexpected. If paying cash, we recommend keeping 5–10% above the build cost for the same reason. Our estimates are thorough — no blindsides.
Yes — one year for labor defects. And because we're a local company, if something wasn't done right, we'll make it right.
Almost always. Our construction manager is on-site 1–2× per week, designer 1–2× per month. You're welcome to visit anytime — just give the crew space to keep working.
Generally, yes. We have preferred subs who know our pace and quality. We've substituted for an owner-preferred sub in special circumstances.
