A Kirkland contractor you can look up

One company since 2019, the same name on every permit

Northwest Custom Homes & Remodel is a Kirkland-based general contractor. We build new custom homes and we renovate existing ones — kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs, decks and whole-house remodels — across the Eastside and Greater Seattle.

We have been operating under the same entity since 2019. That matters more than it sounds. In residential construction it is common for a company to dissolve after a bad job and reopen the following Monday under a new name, leaving the warranty and the complaints behind. Our license, our bond and our history all point at one company you can look up.

The company is seven years old in Washington. The man who runs it is not new to any of this: the owner has spent about twenty years in construction, the first stretch of it running his own company in another country before moving here and registering this one in 2019. That is why a seven-year-old company already has crews who have framed, tiled and finished more houses than the company itself has been alive.

We run about 20 people. That size is deliberate: large enough to keep our own crews rather than subcontracting the entire job to whoever answered the phone, small enough that the owner still walks the sites and still answers the phone himself when something goes wrong.

What we actually believe about this work

An estimate is a promise, not a hook. The oldest trick in remodeling is a low number to win the job and change orders to make it back. We write itemized estimates, we name our allowances instead of hiding them, and when something genuinely unforeseen appears behind a wall we show it to you, explain the options and put the cost in writing before anyone touches it.

The parts nobody sees decide how long it lasts. Flashing, waterproofing, blocking, ventilation, drainage — none of it photographs well and all of it is why one deck is fine at fifteen years and the one next door is rotten at eight. We build the hidden half properly because it is the half that fails.

Permits are not optional. Unpermitted work does not disappear; it waits for the day you sell. We pull the permits, we meet the inspectors, and we hand you a paper trail.

Your house is where you live. Crews arrive when we say. Dust control goes up before demolition, not after the complaint. The site gets swept at the end of the day. Someone tells you what is happening tomorrow. None of this is remarkable — it is simply what we would want in our own homes, and it is rarer than it should be.

How we are set up

One project manager owns your job from contract to closeout — the same person, not a rotating cast. Our own crews handle the core carpentry and site work, and we use long-standing specialty trades for electrical, plumbing, mechanical and stone, most of whom have worked with us for years. We do not hand your project to a subcontractor and disappear.

We are registered as a general contractor in Washington State, bonded and insured. We will send you our license number, our bond and our certificate of insurance before you sign anything, and we recommend you verify any contractor you consider — including us — through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.
