General Contractor in Tukwila, WA
Tukwila is small, and its housing is mostly older: 1940s to 1960s homes on hillside streets in neighborhoods like Foster, Allentown and Riverton, plus apartment buildings and one of the region's biggest commercial cores around Southcenter.

Many of the houses have been worked on by several owners over the decades, so a lot of Tukwila jobs start with undoing someone else's repair before doing our own.

Older houses with a history
Houses that several owners have remodeled themselves tend to share a few traits: walls that aren't square, framing notched or cut to fit a pipe, wiring spliced in places it shouldn't be, and rooms built to odd dimensions. Before we price anything, we measure carefully and look behind what we can, so the estimate reflects the house you actually have. Where stock parts won't fit, we'll show you the options, like custom sizes or reframing a wall a few inches, each with its own price.

Rentals and multi-unit buildings
Owners and managers of Tukwila rentals call for turnovers, water-damage repair, bathroom rebuilds and exterior fixes. We schedule around tenants, keep units usable where we can, and choose durable finishes that hold up to the next lease.
Commercial spaces
With Southcenter and the industrial and office space along the river, a lot of Tukwila's commercial space changes hands. We build out retail, office and service spaces for owners and tenants, handle repairs and punch lists between tenants, and work as a multi-trade subcontractor for general contractors, after hours when a space is occupied.
Hillside lots and drainage
Many Tukwila houses sit on hillside streets above the river valley, and water management matters there. Downspouts that dump next to the foundation, failed drain lines and patios that slope toward the house cause damp basements and crawl spaces and rot at the bottom of walls. When we work on these houses, we look at where water goes before we close up any wall, and we'll tell you if drainage work should come first. Retaining walls and stairs from the street are often part of the same water problem, so they're part of the walk-through too.
Permits in Tukwila
Permits come from the city's Department of Community Development. Swapping a fixture in place usually doesn't need a permit. Moving plumbing, changing walls, re-siding or a commercial build-out usually does.
