Cedar Builders Inc.

The workers'-comp classes Washington carries for Cedar Builders describe a firm that handles a job from the ground up: digging and site prep, framing, then painting and finish. Those classes also cover project superintendents, estimators, drafting and property and building management, which points to a business that plans and runs its own projects rather than only supplying labor. The state lists Richard Naccarato and Donna Naccarato as principals since 1977. Work tends to come through referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising. That mix suits a homeowner or building owner with a project that touches several stages at once, such as an addition that needs excavation, a wood frame and paint, or a commercial space being reworked inside and out. Painting and wallpapering jobs fit as well. Someone who needs a dedicated plumber or a specialty electrician for a single system is better matched with a contractor in that trade, since the electrical work on record here is general building wiring and floodlighting. On a Spokane home, repair versus replace usually comes down to what's under the surface. Older houses in Spokane and Spokane Valley often have sound framing behind tired finishes, and a good repaint or patch can carry them for years. Freeze-thaw cycles are harder on exterior wood and foundations, so rot at sills, soft siding or settling near the footing is worth opening up before deciding. Ask a general contractor to show you the condition of the structure first, then price the repair and the replacement side by side.
