Justin Johnston Construction LLC.

A crew this size means the person who bids the job is usually the person doing it. That suits a homeowner who wants one point of contact and a contractor who knows the details of the work firsthand. Justin Johnston Construction is registered as a general contractor with Washington L&I and works the Washington side of the line. It finds work through direct contact and established networks more than broad advertising, so a first conversation tends to be with the owner rather than an office. Demand for general contracting in Spokane follows the weather. Exterior work, additions and anything involving foundations or framing open to the sky bunches into late spring through early fall, and small crews book that window early. Planning a summer project over the winter gives time to settle scope, get drawings ready and line up permits with the City of Spokane or Spokane County before the season fills. Interior remodels are easier to schedule in the colder months, when outdoor work slows. With a crew of one to three, each job takes a real share of the calendar, so asking early about start dates matters more here than with a larger outfit.
