Boonebuilt LLC.

Coeur d'Alene is the base, and a radius of about 25 miles from there takes in Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, Dalton Gardens and Hayden Lake on the Idaho side. Boonebuilt has held its Idaho registration since 2010, so the business has been working this part of Kootenai County for well over a decade. Its registration is with Idaho, and its work stays on that side of the line. Before comparing general contractor bids, put the job in writing first. List the rooms or areas involved, what gets torn out and what stays, and the finishes you want, down to cabinet style, flooring type and fixture brands where you know them. Note who pulls the permit with the city or county, who handles debris and cleanup, and whether any allowances are included for items not yet chosen. Ask each bidder to price the same list so the numbers line up, and to call out anything they'd change. On older homes around Coeur d'Alene and the lake towns, ask how each contractor handles surprises behind walls, since that's where quotes for the same project tend to drift apart.
