Inland Home Improvements Inc.

The state insures the crew under roofing, wood frame construction and glass installation classes, with estimators and office staff on the payroll, and lists seven to ten workers. Recent Spokane County permits cover reroofs paired with windows and siding in Colbert and Cheney, plus residential alterations in Spokane. Between 2022 and 2024 the business also worked public jobs for the Washington State Department of Commerce and Spokane County, usually as a subcontractor. It holds a state lead-safe renovation firm certification, and the company says it's family-owned and has been at this since 1999. The state lists Daniel Schimke and Judy Schimke as principals since 2005. The mix fits a homeowner with an aging house that needs a new roof, replacement windows or egress windows for a basement bedroom, or siding repair, especially when those projects overlap. The company also advertises decks and fences. Ground-up framing for new construction and specialized industrial work sit outside what the shop is set up for; its focus is improving existing residential buildings. In Spokane County and the cities around it, a full reroof, window replacements that change an opening, egress windows and most siding or alteration work typically need a building permit, and in many cases an inspection before the job is closed out. Egress windows draw particular attention because they're a safety requirement for sleeping rooms. A contractor doing this work should pull the permit under its own license, which ties the job to someone accountable and leaves a clean record when the house is sold. Ask who is pulling it before work starts.
