A A Construction & Remodel.

The state lists Alex Artemenko as a principal since 2014, the year the current Washington L&I registration took effect under the A A Construction & Remodel name. The registration is a general contractor specialty, and the work is residential. The state puts the crew at one to three people, which means a homeowner is likely dealing with the same small group from the first walk-through to the last punch-list item. The business travels about 25 miles from its base, which covers Spokane Valley and the neighboring towns on the east side of the county. That size and way of working suit interior remodels where one contractor coordinates the pieces of a job in a single house: a kitchen, a bath, or a few rooms reworked at once. It's a residential remodeler, so it fits homeowners more than commercial building owners. Anyone who wants a crew holding a specific manufacturer's installer certification should ask about it directly. Spokane Valley's housing runs from postwar ranches and older farmhouses to subdivisions built in the last few decades, and remodeling looks different in each. Opening walls in an older house can turn up plaster and lath, undersized framing, older wiring or plumbing that has to be brought up to current standards before the finish work starts. Newer homes tend to hide fewer surprises but use engineered framing and trusses that limit which walls can move. Ask any remodeler how they handle what they find once demolition starts, and who pulls the permits.
