How we work

Your 6-step expert-guided journey

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, you always know where the project stands and what comes next. Scroll, and watch a whole-home remodel go up in the order we actually build it.

  1. 01

    Share your vision with us

    Every great project starts with a conversation. Tell us about your space, your goals and your ideas, including the ones you think might be too ambitious. Then we walk the house with you.

  2. 02

    Design & selections

    Our designer creates a design for your house and selects every material with you before anything is torn out. You approve a design; you don’t spend evenings in showrooms.

  3. 03

    Contract & payment

    A clear, line-item estimate that outlines every part of the project. No surprises, just transparency, with a payment schedule tied to milestones you can actually see.

  4. 04

    Preparation & coordination

    Because every selection is already made, we order everything at once. Materials land on site, the permit is posted and the house is protected before demolition starts.

  5. 05

    Construction

    Demolition, structure, rough-ins, dry-in, finish. Our team coordinates each trade in the right order, keeps the site organized and communicates with you throughout.

  6. 06

    Final walkthrough & completion

    Reveal day. We walk the space with you, fine-tune the small details together and hand you the keys, along with warranties and care notes for everything we installed.

What makes us different

Every project comes with a designer. Not as an add-on. Included.

Most contractors hand you a list of decisions and a deadline: pick your tile, pick your cabinets, pick your fixtures, and hurry. We don’t. Our design partner walks the project with you, learns what you like (traditional, modern, somewhere in between) and creates a design for your house, then selects every material to match.

Design is by Suzanne Berceau Designs. See the work at @justopulencehouse. Every house in our portfolio is hers as much as ours.

  • One idea, not a pile of choices. Cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures, paint and lighting picked to work together, so the finished house reads as designed, not assembled.
  • Your taste, not ours. Every project in our portfolio looks different because every client is different. The designer’s job is to find your version.
  • Faster build, fewer surprises. With every selection made before demolition, we order everything up front. Long-lead items arrive before they’re needed. No “the tile is six weeks out” halfway through.
  • No showroom evenings. You approve a design. You don’t spend your weekends in a tile aisle.

Our philosophy

Where quality work meets real relationships

Dream Team is a family-owned company. It started when we remodeled the basement of our first house, Suzanne on the design and Douglas on the build, and found out we were good at working together. Many houses later, Suzanne still designs every project and Douglas still runs every job.

  • Construction is a team operation. A remodel is a dozen trades who have to show up in the right order and want to do their best work. Building that team is what “Dream Team” means.
  • Nothing falls in a gap. Design on one side, construction on the other, one couple answering for both.
  • Family, literally. The same subs job after job, treated like family. By the end, clients usually are too.

What we build

Our services

We take on the big ones. Whole homes, additions, ADUs, and kitchens and bathrooms rebuilt from the studs out. Not touch-ups, not punch lists, not single-fixture swaps.

Whole-Home Remodels & ADUs

Full renovations and accessory dwelling units, the projects where sequencing and trade coordination make or break the budget.

  • Down-to-studs renovations
  • Detached & attached ADUs
  • Additions & second stories

Additions & Second Stories

  • Bump-outs & full additions
  • Second stories & primary suites
  • Garage conversions
See what’s included

Complete Kitchen Rebuilds

The room your whole house revolves around, rebuilt for how you actually cook, host and live.

What we take on

The projects that change how a house lives

  • Whole-home remodels, down to the studs or close to it, with a designer included
  • Additions, second stories and garage conversions
  • Detached and attached ADUs
  • Kitchens and bathrooms rebuilt from the studs out
  • Basements finished into real living space
  • Pre-listing renovations and inspection-driven scopes for agents

What we don’t

And who to call instead

We don’t do handyman work, single-fixture swaps, paint-only jobs or punch lists for other contractors. It isn’t snobbery. A crew set up to run a whole-house build is the wrong tool for hanging a door, and you’d pay for the mismatch.

For that kind of work, a good local handyman will be faster and cheaper than we would. If you’re not sure which side of the line your project is on, the estimator will tell you in thirty seconds, or just call and we’ll say so honestly.

Real estate agents

Why homeowners choose us

Big projects, run by a builder who’s on every one of them

Our name says it: Dream Team is the bench of veteran tradespeople we’ve built the company around. On a whole-home job, sequencing those trades is what decides whether the budget holds, and that’s exactly the part we’re best at.

  • Full-scope only. Whole homes, additions, ADUs, complete kitchens and baths. We don’t do handyman work.
  • A designer, included. Every material chosen before demo, which is why our builds run faster.
  • Line-item estimates. You see what every part of the job costs before we start.
  • Clean, organized job sites. You still live here. We work like it.
  • Homeowners first. We build for the people who live there, across the Sound.

Common questions

Before you call

How much does a remodel cost?

It depends on scope, finishes and the condition of what’s behind the walls. Anyone who quotes you a number before walking the space is guessing. What we can promise is a written, line-by-line estimate after the consultation, so you can see exactly where every dollar goes and adjust before we start.

Do I have to pick all the materials myself?

No, and that’s one of the main reasons people hire us. Every project includes a designer who walks the house with you, learns your taste, creates the design and selects every material to match. You approve; you don’t spend evenings in showrooms. Because every selection is made before demolition, we order everything up front and the build runs faster.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. During preparation and coordination we identify what your jurisdiction requires, pull what’s needed and schedule inspections around the build so the job keeps moving.

How long will my project take?

A bathroom typically runs a few weeks; a kitchen or basement longer; a whole-home remodel or ADU longer still. You get a realistic schedule with the estimate, and updates whenever something changes.

Can I live in the house during the remodel?

For most single-room projects, yes. We contain dust, protect walkways and clean the site daily. For down-to-studs renovations we’ll talk through the trade-offs honestly before you commit.

What areas do you serve?

The Greater Seattle and Puget Sound area, including King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. If you’re just outside that, call us and we’ll tell you straight whether we’re the right fit.
