West Seattle craftsman remodel: before

“Because your experience throughout the project is just as important as the end result,”

Founder/Owner Gary Potter.
“It always helps to do some homework before we meet—collecting photos from magazines and pointing out things that appeal to you for whatever reason will help us pick up on your taste and certain trends. This simple task saves you a considerable amount of time and money in the long-run.”

Gary Potter, President
“We are the ultimate recyclers, doing an addition is a great way to use the existing structure and bring it to today’s standards.”

Gary Potter, President
“Winning the NKBA Design Competition for Kitchen Design award is a real honor, especially considering the design skills of the surrounding Puget Sound area. What’s more is our client’s satisfaction. It brings us great happiness to know we’ve designed something this family will enjoy day after day.”

Project Designer, Catherine Thompson
“Doing an addition is a great way to create a new, more personalized living environment without having to uproot your family, move locations, and make new friends and neighbors.”

Gary Potter, President
“Everyone wants their addition to look like it was always there, so it’s our job to bring in elements of the home’s existing design to make the transition between old and new.”

Roshele Allison, Senior Designer
“Potter is professional and very quick to return calls. Gary knows the best subcontractors to work with and he helped the remodel move right along.”

Melissa Glerum
“Potter was extremely helpful in doing our cabinetry work—using a 3D auto-cad program to make changes to our designs right then and there showed us exactly what those changes would look like before doing the work.”

Loretta Johnson
“I am most impressed by the caliber of people Potter employs. There wasn't a carpenter or subcontractor that I wouldn't be proud to have at my dinner table.”

Stu & Marianne
"We lived in the house during the entire project and we developed a strong trust with the Potter on-site personnel. Potter used quality sub-contractors and managed those sub-contractors well. They kept the site clean and respected our living space." Gordon Buchan
"Each person we dealt with at Potter Construction, as well as your subcontractors, was a true professional in their area of expertise and we felt comfortable in relying on them for their contribution to the overall success achieved. We expect to return for continuation of the work in the basement when the timing is appropriate." Norm & Pam Widitz
"It's a good company, they did what they said they would do and we'll use them again. Painless." John & Connie Hassell
"Potter Construction has a professional staff and attitude and does high quality work. It was a very satisfying and pleasant experience." Tom & Sharon Clark
"Thank you so much for your fantastic work. Every problem had a solution and the quality of work was excellent. We enjoyed working with Harry who is a gem."

Vicki Pardee & Leslie Loeb
Just wanted to send a quick email saying "thanks again" for the great remodeling work you did for us in our living room/study/patio/deck! The work you did definitely brings the "wow" factor into it and is what everyone who sees the house is impressed by!

Sandra Lipo
"We would definitely use Potter Construction again if they continue at this level of performance. We think highly of all the employees. They were pleasant to be around, as well as very competent." Don & Dori Ferrell
"We have recommended Potter Construction to several people. We'd encourage them to use our house as a kind of template. We would use them again!" Steve & Judi Finney
"It's been a year now since completion of our remodel and we continue to love it! We feel it's a real credit to, and positive recommendation of, Potter Construction that everything is as appealing and enjoyable to see and use now as the day it was completed." Norm & Pam Widitz
"We had previously done a major house remodel that was very unpleasant and completion was only minimally satisfactory. It only we had known about Potter Construction. Gary Potter and his staff will be the first company we contact should we need any work done in the future. Without hesitation we have, and will continue to, recommend them for any remodeling project." Tom & Sharon Clark
"We have used Potter Construction for two home remodel jobs. We are most please with the results. Their employees were efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a pleasure working with them in our home. We've heard many horror stories about remodeling and we are most grateful that we used Potter Construction." Dick & Donna Clarke
“The entire process was enjoyable. It was a pleasure working with such detail-oriented professionals.”

McElvain Family
“It is wonderful to have the home we always dreamed of.”

The Simmons Family
“Everyone was very nice during our project and extremely easy to work with.”

Genny & Mark
“I am most impressed by the caliber of people Potter employs. There wasn't a carpenter or subcontractor that I wouldn't be proud to have at my dinner table.”

Stu & Marianne
“Potter understands that doing an addition is somewhat of an imposition so they were very conscientious of our privacy and our situation in general.”
