Modernbuilds LLC.

The service list is short on purpose: deck construction and pergola installation, done consistently rather than spread across a broad lineup. The company says it covers a wide stretch of Spokane County, including Spokane, Airway Heights, Liberty Lake, Colbert, Green Acres, Rockford, Fairfield, Latah and Spangle, along with its home base in Chattaroy. The state lists Ivan Yevchenko and Julia Yevchenko as principals since 2017, the year the business was established. This is a carpentry outfit for outdoor structures. A new deck off the back of a house or a pergola over a patio fits squarely in its lane, especially for homeowners in the smaller towns outside Spokane who want a small, owner-led crew rather than a large general contractor. Jobs that need new-construction framing, or licensed electrical or plumbing work such as wiring for lights or a hot tub, call for other trades alongside or instead. Deck work splits into two kinds of job. A quick fix, like replacing a few boards, resetting a stair or tightening a loose rail, is small enough that the main question is whether the carpenter shows up. A new deck or a pergola tied into the house is a different project: footings below frost depth, a ledger attached so water doesn't get behind the siding, and a permit from the city or county. For the bigger job, ask who pulls the permit, how the structure attaches to the house, and whether the person quoting will be on site during the build.
