My father was a general contractor, so you can say I grew up building and remodeling houses.

Jake grew up in West Virginia where he developed an early love and respect for building while watching and later helping his father and grandfather work in their woodshops.

In 1996 he moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan and joined a semi-custom building company where he met his future bride who managed their marketing department.

Later, he operated his own building company before joining a leading design/build firm in Ann Arbor specializing in sustainable building. As a Project Manager there he supervised large scale projects and custom homes that were built to LEED standards and managed the firm’s first Passive House Project.

Jake has 29 years of construction experience. A Master Level Carpenter with projects featured in The Ann Arbor News, Our House Magazine and The Washington Post, Jake is a natural leader, known for his professionalism, calm demeanor, and can-do attitude. He has conducted guest lectures on design and woodworking at several Michigan colleges and served on guest panels for Remodeler’s Advantage – a national peer-advisory service for builders.

Jake’s dream of living and working in the Pacific Northwest finally became a reality in 2016 where he first joined a Corvallis, Oregon builder as a Production Manager, before moving to Seattle to team up with Eakman Construction.
When not at work, Jake can be found tinkering in the woodshop creating live-edge furniture, and spending time with his bride or chucking tennis balls for his two Labs, Violet and Tulip.

Mike’s life-long interest in building started early. His mother worked for a southern California architect and brought house plans home – Mike loved trying to figure out how they became finished homes. Building things from Legos and Lincoln Logs was also a favorite pastime. In high school summers were spent hanging drywall with his basketball coach and working as a finish carpenter’s assistant.

After 2 years in Europe he started a pool and landscaping business while pre-med at UC Irvine. He met his future wife and after their first child decided that medical school was going to be a difficult choice so he decided to build their house in Carlsbad CA, then sold it before completion. After building and selling several more Mike formed his own full-service building company. He and his crew did their own foundation work, framing, electrical, tile and finish carpentry. For 20 years in California he built spec and custom homes, as well as light commercial projects.
During this time Mike and his wife raised 6 daughters and 1 son. The family moved to Idaho in 2002 when land prices became prohibitively high in San Diego County. Mike continued the same business model of custom and spec home building. Then in 2007, when the economy slowed, he went back to school and completed a degree in Construction Management from BSU.

After moving to Seattle 4 years ago Mike worked for several fine companies, building everything from a multi-million-dollar waterfront home on Mercer Island to an extensive remodel of a 1920’s home in the Broadmoor neighborhood in Madison Park to a hillside stabilization project in Medina protecting a $10 million waterfront estate.
Mike loves exceeding customer’s expectations and seeing great structures coming to light. He enjoys golf, boating, and spending time with his family and 13 (and counting) grandchildren.
