Nathan Towell Construction.

The workers'-comp classes Washington insures the business under describe the work better than the general contractor title does: wood frame building construction, interior finish carpentry, floor and counter covering installation, and building repair and remodeling. All of it is residential. That mix fits a whole-house remodel that runs from structural repair through trim, a kitchen or bathroom update with new counters and flooring, or a new wood-framed house. The state lists Nathan Towell as a principal since 2015, the year the business was established. A crew this size suits homeowners who want the same few people on site from framing to finish. Large commercial buildings are outside the residential framing and remodeling this business is set up for. Specialized trade work is outside its registration too, so electrical, plumbing and HVAC on a remodel go to licensed trades in those fields. On an older Spokane house, repair versus replace usually comes down to what's behind the surface. A sagging floor, a soft subfloor by the tub or a tired kitchen can sometimes be fixed in place. Sometimes the framing underneath turns out to be the real problem. Ask a contractor to open up and look before committing either way, and price both routes. Patching a structural problem under new counters or flooring just pays for the finish work twice. Where the bones are sound, repairing and refinishing often keeps more of the house's original character for less disruption.
