We're happy to show off more interior pictures of our Capitol Hill Remodel + DADU. With the all of the beautiful wood floors installed, the interior finishes can really take off. Trim, cabinets and doors are all on deck next. This is when the client's vision finally becomes truly tangible.

Carlos is looking mighty majestic today! Sparks (and sparkles) are flying as he carefully saws through some steel skirting material. Nice work, Carlos!

The Capitol Hill Remodel + DADU is in the home stretch! Exterior finishes are going up, new wood floors are in, and interior trim details are being dialed in. It's starting to feel like a home again — more photos coming soon!

Before templating our stair treads, we elected to finish the walls first — scribing the treads into the Black Walnut paneling, instead of the other way around.

To accomplish this, we had custom 1/4" panels milled with a rabbet. This rabbet joint allowed for some minor variance in flush on the front face. However, the joint also dictated panel orientation. In order to prevent book matching or symmetry, Tom mapped out the install ahead of time and worked with the cabinet shop to ensure all the pieces were oriented and milled properly. Swipe ⬅️ to see the completed install.

Our team is busy putting the final touches on Seattle Capoeira Center's new teaching space. Soon, this dance floor will be beaming with the sounds of song, dance and self defence instead of saws and power tools.

You know that feeling when you're cooking, and your family always seems to be standing right in front of the exact drawer you need? Every. Single. Time.

That's our crew right now. 😅

Near the end of a project, pinch points are inevitable — no matter how well you plan, all the trades end up needing the same space at the same time. It's in these moments that teamwork, patience, and efficiency really earn their keep. Hang in there guys!
