Washington Division · Office

General Contractor in Spokane, WA

Serving the Inland Northwest with the same in-house, all-trades crew — custom homes, remodels, and additions across Spokane and the Valley.

What we build in Spokane

  • New Construction

    Custom homes designed for a true four-season climate — frost-protected footings, snow-load roof framing and a build schedule that puts concrete and framing in the spring-through-fall window.

  • Additions & Renovations

    Updating 1900s Craftsman homes on the South Hill and in Browne's Addition means tying new framing into old and bringing dated mechanical and electrical up to current code.

  • Basement Conversions

    Daylight basements are common in Spokane, and finishing them is one of the projects we're asked for most — we handle the egress, moisture and ceiling-height issues that make basements tricky.

  • ADUs & Garages

    Shops, garages and pole buildings on the larger lots north of town and out in the Valley, engineered for Inland Northwest snow loads.

  • Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels

    Kitchens and baths in Spokane's older homes often need plumbing and electrical rework; our own crew does the rough-in, tile and cabinetry, with a complimentary 3D model up front.

  • HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical

    Real winters and hot summers call for right-sized heating and cooling — self-performed by our crew, so the mechanical schedule is ours to keep.

  • Pavers & Concrete

    Driveways, walkways and patios placed for freeze-thaw cycles, with proper base prep, drainage and control joints so they don't crack and heave.

  • Roofing, Siding, Windows

    Roof, siding and windows installed as one system to shed snow and meltwater and keep the envelope tight through a Spokane winter.

Permits and codes in Spokane

Where you submit depends on the address: the City of Spokane's Development Services Center handles permits inside city limits, Spokane Valley's Building Division covers the Valley, and Spokane County takes everything in the unincorporated areas north of town and in the rural lots between. Each office has its own plan-review process and inspection scheduling, and we carry plans through all three.

All three jurisdictions build to the Washington State Building Code and the Washington State Energy Code, with Inland Northwest snow loads and frost depth setting the structural requirements: frost-protected footings, roof framing sized for the snow, and envelopes insulated for a four-season climate. Our in-house engineering and permitting team produces the drawings and the structural stamps, so a Spokane permit package goes in complete the first time.

Building in Spokane: what to know

Spokane is a true four-season market, and our Inland Northwest pricing reflects it: labor and material costs run well below Puget Sound, but frost-protected footings, snow-load roof framing, and a build season that favors spring-through-fall scheduling all shape how a project is planned. Permits go through the City of Spokane's Development Services Center, Spokane Valley's Building Division, or Spokane County depending on the address, and we carry plans through each of them.

The work we're asked for most here is a mix of old and new — updating 1900s Craftsman homes on the South Hill and in Browne's Addition, finishing daylight basements, and building shops, garages, and pole buildings on larger lots north of town and out in the Valley. Our crew self-performs the concrete, framing, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical, so a Spokane project has one schedule and one accountable builder from the first inspection to the last.

Neighborhoods and nearby cities we serve

From our Spokane office we cover the South Hill, Browne's Addition, the North Side and the larger lots toward Mead and Nine Mile, plus Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and Cheney. Coeur d'Alene is 30 miles east on I-90, so the same crew serves Post Falls and the North Idaho corridor between the two cities.

Spokane remodeling and building FAQ

Yes for all three. Finishing a basement adds habitable space and almost always involves egress, electrical and plumbing; shops and pole buildings are structures with their own foundations; and additions change the footprint. Permits come from the City of Spokane, Spokane Valley or Spokane County depending on the address, and we handle the submittal.

It varies by jurisdiction and season — a straightforward remodel permit moves faster than a new home or a large shop, which can take several weeks to a few months in review. We submit complete plan sets with the structural engineering already stamped, which is the single biggest factor in avoiding correction cycles.

Washington's updated middle-housing rules apply here as they do on the west side, and Spokane's larger lots make detached shops, garages and ADUs practical. We check your parcel's zoning, setbacks and lot coverage before design — our ADU rules by city guide explains how the state rules work.

Labor and material costs in the Inland Northwest run well below Puget Sound — our estimate tool prices Spokane work roughly a quarter below our Federal Way baseline. The estimate calculator gives you a range for your ZIP in about 90 seconds, and the cost guides show typical project costs by state.

Yes. Our Spokane office schedules free, no-obligation advice visits across the city and the Valley; you get a scoped estimate and a complimentary 3D design model from the builder who prices the job.
