About Us

Drew Barquist, Owner and Builder

I started my journey in construction as a teenager, building houses with my Dad over high school summer breaks, and continued while in college as I completed my B.S. in Physiology at the University of Washington - Seattle.

After college, realizing how much I enjoyed hands-on work, I steered away from a career in medicine and coached CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, and worked in construction, all while competing in CrossFit and eventually making it to the CrossFit Games in 2017.

After trying out various trades in construction and spending a couple years as an EMT, in 2020, I started my own construction business with a focus on integrity, honesty, and continually improving my methods and solving problems for homeowners.

I never looked back.

I love building decks, patio covers, gazebos, and other outdoor living spaces because I appreciate building beautiful spaces that people are going to truly enjoy and make memories in.

And I’d love the opportunity to build yours.
