Here at Rose Construction we are known for our detailed contracts. Because most contractors aren’t nearly as thorough, unless a client has worked with us before they generally haven’t heard the term “allowances” as used in our contracts. Although we provide all our clients with a description of the term allowances in the bid, I…
Every time we receive a new client we ask them where they heard from us. We’re a small company and are interested in these sort of things! This blog is new and I’m wondering how people are finding us here as well. If you could answer the following question I’d greatly appreciate it! Also, if…

One of our clients is interested in Forbo Mormoleum (in the color Donkey Island… how fun is that?!). We’ve installed it before and it’s truly a fun and interesting product: If you’re considering a resiliant floor, this is a great option.

When it comes time for the Excellence in Remodeling awards through the BIA and the BIAWC, we submit before-and-after photographs. But now that…

Recently the clients decided to change their existing kitchen lighting to can lights as well as add can lights to the addition. Here is a shot of some of the addition’s lighting taken just after the electricians…
I had the opportunity yesterday to visit one of our jobsites. The home is located in Bellingham’s Edgemoor neighborhood and has a beautiful backyard. We are renovating three bathrooms and rebuilding their deck. The deck was a collaborative design between the clients and Rose Construction. This design is larger than their old deck and features…
Though we’ve had a website for quite a while, Rose Construction has recently decided to take advantage of social media. So, feel free to visit us on Facebook, Myspace, Yelp and Twitter. I (Melissa) just set up the Twitter account this morning and FINALLY understand why everyone is addicted to it! We’re planning to use Twitter…
Congratulations to our project manager DyLon McClary and his wife Brooke, who married yesterday!
