VISION
The economic climate within which we live (foreclosures, short sales, upside down loan to value ratio) could be viewed as a crisis. But, from our perspective, a crisis is an opportunity to ask some serious questions about home ownership and the wisdom of relocation when updating might be a better decision. Considerations are the comfort associated with the original home and neighborhood, the time involved in a search for another property, issues with preparing and selling an existing home, real estate commissions and closing costs, packing and moving expenses, and then discovering that there are updating issues and additional expenses. Carpentry by Elliott views remodeling as a viable alternative.
HISTORY
Lee Elliott started his career in construction after graduating from high school by joining a union and initiating a five year apprenticeship. While located in the greater Detroit, Michigan area, he received his Journeyman Certificate in1973 and established Carpentry by Elliott with a focus on residential remodeling. Literally hundreds of successful residential projects were completed while in the greater Detroit area, but, being an outdoor lover, the Pacific Northwest called.
Packing tools and bringing a host of construction experience, Carpentry by Elliott was relocated to the greater Seattle area in 1986 and expanded its focus into tenant improvement projects for new and established businesses looking to update their images and workplaces. Over the past 23 years, a host of both residential and business remodel projects have been completed in the Seattle area.
SIGNIFICANCE
Involved in remodel construction are many different trades, i.e. site preparation, including demolition, rough and finish carpentry, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and paint. The most critical skill, however, in implementing any construction/remodel project is carpentry. Experience has taught us that on any large construction project, the foreman is typically an individual with strong carpentry skills. Lee Elliott is first of all in all his projects the hands-on rough and finish carpenter. Only functioning in this capacity assures presence on site, correct steps in the beginning, and the best possible outcome.
