Gorman Construction.

Public-works filings run from 2020 through 2025. The agencies include Ephrata, Pasco and Moses Lake school districts, the City of East Wenatchee, Quincy Valley Medical Center, Samaritan Healthcare, Lake Chelan Community Hospital, Mid-Columbia Regional Library, Benton County Fire District 4, The NATIVE Project and the state Department of Enterprise Services. On those jobs Gorman Construction worked under a prime contractor. The state lists Jonathan Gorman as a principal since 2019, and puts the crew at one to three people, so the owner is doing the carpentry. That makes Gorman a fit for trim and finish work on a residential remodel, or for a general contractor looking for a carpentry sub on a school or municipal job. It's a finish trade, not a framing or structural outfit, so a homeowner planning an addition would bring Gorman in after the walls are up. Much of the work comes trade to trade rather than through consumer channels. Spokane's housing runs from early 1900s Craftsman and foursquare homes on the South Hill and in Browne's Addition to tract houses in Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and Mead. In older houses, trim work often means matching profiles on wide casings and baseboards, and dealing with walls and floors that are no longer square or level. Newer homes usually carry paint-grade MDF or finger-jointed pine in standard profiles, which goes faster but shows gaps and seams when the dry winters shrink wood. Ask a finish carpenter how they'll handle both.
