Ethos Builders LLC.

The workers'-comp classes Washington insures Ethos under line up with what it advertises: wood frame building construction, interior finish carpentry, and building repair and remodeling. That is framing through finish work on houses. The firm also holds a Washington Commerce lead-safe renovation certification, which matters on older Spokane homes where painted surfaces may contain lead. The company says it has been building since 2018 and describes itself as family-owned. The state lists Joseph Sokil, Joseph Ciuriuc and Parker Stinebaugh as principals since 2023. Ethos is built around full-scale residential projects: a custom home, an addition that changes how a house works, a gut remodel, or rebuilding after fire damage. Most of its work comes through referrals and repeat customers. Commercial buildings sit outside its residential framing and remodeling focus. So do small handyman fixes, since the business is set up for whole-house construction rather than quick one-off repairs. On a new house, an addition or a fire rebuild in Spokane, Spokane Valley or the county, expect building permits and a run of inspections covering foundation, framing, insulation and final. Structural remodels, moved walls, new windows in new openings, and electrical, plumbing or mechanical changes usually need permits too. On a fire rebuild, the inspection record also matters to the insurer and to any future buyer. The general contractor should pull the permit and schedule the inspections, so the work is checked by the jurisdiction at each stage and the liability sits with the builder rather than the homeowner.
