Branda Building & Design LLC.

The services the company lists run wide. Inside, that means kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, drywall, stairs, doors and windows, painting and wallpaper. Outside, it means roofing and roof repairs, siding, soffits, gutters, decks, metal fencing and gates, handrails, concrete patios, pavers, masonry and retaining walls. Branda also advertises restoration work: kitchen fires, leak detection and repair, wind and storm damage, and total home rebuilds. The state insures the business under building repair and carpentry, which matches that repair-and-remodel focus. Washington lists Jerry Branda as a principal since 2017, and the company describes itself as locally owned and family-owned. Branda fits a homeowner who wants one firm to carry a renovation from design through construction, or who is putting a house back together after a fire, a leak or a windstorm. It also fits exterior upgrades such as a new deck, fence line or patio. The work centers on carpentry, repair and remodeling rather than new-construction framing or large commercial development. Electrical and plumbing on a remodel are licensed trades of their own, so ask how those parts of the job get handled. Much of the work comes through referrals and repeat customers. In Spokane, Spokane Valley and the surrounding county, many jobs in this range need a building permit. That includes structural changes in a kitchen or bath remodel, decks attached to the house or built off the ground, retaining walls over modest heights, reroofs that touch the sheathing, and rebuilding fire-damaged framing. Electrical and plumbing work carry separate permits and inspections. Expect the contractor to pull the building permit in the company's name and schedule the inspections, since that ties responsibility for the work to the registered contractor rather than to you. A permit record also helps when an insurer is paying for restoration or when you sell the house.
