About us

A family-owned remodeler in Ballard since 2004.

We are a small design-build team. The people who draw your plan, price it and build it all work here, and one of them stays with you from the first visit to the last.

A note from Ben

Why we stayed small

I spent my first ten years in this trade working for other builders. The work was good. What bothered me was how often the homeowner did not know who was in charge, or what the job would really cost until it was half done.

So when I started Dunmore in 2004, I set three rules. One project lead on every job, from the first visit to the final walkthrough. A written price before we build, with every change priced before the work. And our own carpenters on the core work, so the people in your house are people we trained.

We have turned down jobs to keep those rules. I would rather build fewer projects and have every one of those families call us again.
