Questions

Takeoffs in Eastside

Do you do takeoffs for houses in Bellevue?

Yes: any house in the Eastside (Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland and Medina), and anywhere else. You upload the plan set; nothing has to be built yet.

Which trades can I order?

Metal and shingle roofing, siding, framing, electrical, plumbing, exterior and interior painting, flooring and finish carpentry, one trade or the whole house, all measured off the same 3D model.

Does it cost more in Eastside?

No. The price is the same everywhere and you see it before you pay. The 3D model is included, and each trade after the first in the same order is half price.
