The team at Chuckanut Builders is absolutely top notch. They performed a small remodel at our home that turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were on time and on budget (almost unheard of in this industry) and everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. There is no doubt that if we ever have another building project, Chuckanut will be our first call.

A couple of years ago I was wanting to add a bedroom onto my small 1920s house, and a friend recommended Chuckanut Builders as a company that did quality work on small as well as large construction projects. After talking with Ian Rae about my ideas, I decided to go for it. Due to the hidden problems and eccentricities of the house, however, my small project quickly turned into a larger and more complicated one. This was my first home renovation, and I so appreciated the intelligence, patience, and sense of humor with which Forest, Ian, and the rest of the crew explained the steps of the process to me. Given that I was on a limited budget, I was also grateful for their willingness to explore options in order to keep costs manageable. And finally, with all the complications, I was really impressed that they miraculously managed to finish the project within the expected time frame. I've lived in my renovated house for two years now, and I've been so please with the results. The house is both safer and more enjoyable as a result of all the hard work that went into it. I recommend Chuckanut Builders to friends who are considering renovations and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I feel fortunate to have had the experience of working with them.

I am a residential designer and have worked with Chuckanut Builders several times. I have been very impressed with their construction, energy conservation knowledge and expertise, finished projects, team collaboration, and communication. They are on the top of my list of builders to refer to clients needing a quality builder. They have a high standard and they stick to it.

I have found Chuckanut Builders to be an energetic value-oriented contractor with the ability to adapt to a wide range of client needs. They work very hard to create a high-quality project with happy customers. I particularly appreciate their collaborative design and building process with expert, friendly and communicative subcontractors and suppliers. They are full of good ideas and are very invested with providing their clients the best possible product within the budget. I refer Chuckanut Builders to my design clients with great confidence.

Questions & Answers

What is building performance? Why does it matter?

We think of building as systems and as such when we build or remodel a home we consider how all of the smaller systems (such as ventilation, heating, and water systems) work together. By considering these elements both independently and as part of the whole, we build more durable buildings that are healthier, more durable and comfortable for its occupants.

My home is in the watershed. Do you have experience working in the watershed?

We have experience working in the watershed and would be happy to talk about your project.

I'd like to remodel my kitchen, can you start next month?

The short answer is no. The majority of our projects take between 5-8 months to plan. Giving a project enough lead time is essential to creating a low stress, well planned project.

We are thinking about some tenant improvements to our business, what other projects have you worked on around town?

We love working on tenant improvement projects. Our tenant improvement projects to date include: Vocare Pilates Studio, Birthroot Birth Center, 3 Oms Yoga Studio, Camber and Pure Bliss Desserts.

I see that you are a "green builder' what does that mean?

Chuckanut Builders (Owner) | Aug 14, 2022
Chuckanut Builders (Owner) | Aug 15, 2022

When we talk about green building what we're really talking about is building durable, healthy homes. We do this by using time tested building techniques; installing high performance building systems; and by selecting authentic, durable materials. Green building projects don't necessarily look different than traditional building projects, however they work better. Buildings are a system and we know how to make the system work better, last longer and use fewer resources in the process.

Do you only work on new construction?

Our bread and butter is full home remodels and custom new homes in Bellingham’s core neighborhoods. We also complete a few tenant improvement projects each year.
