“Ben with Arbor Construction did a lovely job remodeling our condo. He completed the work very nearly soup to nuts, everything from flooring and baseboard, to kitchen counter and cabinets, to bathroom and tile. Along with doing all the skilled work, he also helped us research and select materials. Working with Ben was smooth and easy. He was communicative, friendly, and eager to help. I am 100% satisfied with Ben’s work and I enthusiastically recommend him.”

How much does it cost to add a tiny home in Seattle?
Tiny homes in Seattle can be very economical or extravagant depending on your design, the size, and the utility set-up. These accessory dwelling units can range from $250,000 to over $400,000.
What are the benefits of an ADU in Seattle?
In Seattle, ADUs offer many benefits. You can add a rental income stream to your property, increase the value of your property, create a space to care for loved ones at home, add a private studio for work, or have separate space for guests.
