Custom homes and remodels, built around how you live
Custom homes, additions, kitchen and bath remodels, and ADUs across Spokane, Spokane Valley, and North Idaho. Fixed bids, a weekly schedule you can plan around, and our own crews on site.
Residential construction and remodeling across the Inland Northwest
Most of our residential work falls into a handful of project types. If yours looks like one of these, it’s worth a conversation.
Custom homes
Ground-up custom homes designed around how your family actually lives, from first plans through the final walkthrough.
Home additions
Bump-outs, second stories, and in-law suites that add the space you need while blending into the home you already have.
Kitchen remodels
Layout changes, cabinetry, and finishes that make the hardest-working room in the house work the way you want.
Bathroom remodels
Primary suites, guest baths, and full gut remodels, with the tile and plumbing detail done right the first time.
ADUs & guest suites
Detached and attached accessory dwellings for guests, family, or rental income, permitted and built to last.
Whole-home remodels
Top-to-bottom renovations that modernize an older home without losing what made you fall for it.
Willowhaven
The owners wanted room for family and guests without the house feeling cavernous. Four baths, a home office, and a gym cover the daily routine. The butler’s pantry keeps the kitchen clear when they entertain, and out back the pool anchors the yard. Willowhaven took Best Overall at the 2025 Fall Festival of Homes, along with Best Kitchen, Best Architecture & Design, Best Primary Bedroom Suite, and Innovative Technology Leader.
Planning first, then a schedule you can count on
Most home projects go sideways before anyone picks up a hammer. We front-load the design, the budget, and the schedule so the surprises show up on paper, not on site.
Design & budget
We help shape the plans, price the work, and flag long-lead items before drawings are final. Most budget problems get solved here, at the table, not in the field.
Fixed bid, not cost-plus
You get a line-item bid with the inclusions and exclusions spelled out. The price holds unless you change the scope, or material costs jump more than 10 percent, which we’d bring to you in writing.
Schedule & selections
A realistic schedule, your selections locked in on time, and, if you’re living in the home, exactly how we work around your family. Long-lead ordering starts here.
Build with in-house crews
Our own carpenters run the work, so less of your schedule depends on subcontractor availability. Written updates every week.
Walkthrough & warranty
A final walkthrough, your punch list handled, and a two-year workmanship warranty. That’s double the regional standard.

Where we work
Spokane & Spokane Valley

Most of our work sits within about a two-hour radius of our office in Spokane. That’s why our superintendents are on your site daily instead of driving in once a week.
What homeowners ask us first
What kinds of residential projects do you take on?
Custom homes, additions, kitchen and bath remodels, ADUs, and whole-home renovations across Spokane and North Idaho. If your project is a small handyman-style fix, we’re probably not the right fit, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we live in the home during a remodel?
Usually, yes. We plan the phasing, dust and noise control, and which spaces stay usable during preconstruction rather than on the fly. For bigger whole-home projects, some families choose to move out for part of it. We’ll talk through what makes sense for yours.
How firm is your bid?
We bid fixed price, line item, with the inclusions and allowances spelled out so you can see exactly where the money goes. The number holds unless you change the scope. The one exception is written into our contract: if material costs move more than 10 percent between signing and buyout, we come back to you with options rather than absorbing it quietly or surprising you on an invoice.
How does payment work?
Most residential projects run on a draw schedule tied to milestones: a deposit to start, then progress payments as the work moves. Bank-financed builds follow a schedule built around your lender’s inspections. You’ll see the whole schedule before you sign, not after.
What is not included in your bid?
Every proposal lists its own exclusions, but a few are standard. Architectural design and engineering usually sit on your side, though we can point you to people we trust. Permits and any required testing, like for asbestos or lead in older homes, are typically the owner’s responsibility. Finish selections beyond your allowances are extra. If anything looks ambiguous, ask before you sign.
Tell us about the project
The more you can tell us up front, the faster we can tell you whether we’re the right builder for it, and give you a real number instead of a range.
If it’s easier, just call. You’ll get a person who can actually talk about your project.
