We are a local Whatcom County family run business who specializes in residential remodels and additions. No project is too big or too small. We can do anything from siding, decks, fences, to bathroom and kitchen remodels. We also do ADU's DADU's and can help facilitate the permitting process.

"Paul Burlingame (and team) constructed a basement garage and attached ADU on the side of our 100 year old house - no small feat at all. Initially we were a little guarded because of all the horror stories you hear about shiesty contractors, but our experience with Paul has been nothing but positive throughout the entire build. He has a keen attention to detail and values good quality work. For example, there were a couple crucial details that were not described by our engineer, and Paul worked hard to determine the right course of action. In the end, what he came up with was better than we could have imagined. Not only is he personable and a knowledgeable contractor, he has an eye for aesthetic which was a delight as we discussed design options, from trim details to pergola hardware. In the end, Paul and his team built us a stunning 800 sf 2 story ADU and 400 sf basement garage, that feels spacious and contemporary while beautifully tying together with the exterior of our existing 1920s Tudor Revival home. I can not recommend Burlingame Contracting enough! Thank you Paul!!"

Looking to transform your home? Let's work together to get your ideal home remodel design dialed in and bring your vision to life! Whether you're looking to update your kitchen, bathroom, or even remodel your entire home top to bottom, I can help you create a functional and aesthetically pleasing design that meets your needs and fits your style. The design process is often the toughest part of remodeling a home but my 5 step procedure will ensure you get a high quality lovable and livable design that will make you fall in love with your home! The process: 1. Consultation to dial in your overall remodel goals. 2. I take 3D scans and measurements of your home (or areas that will be remodeled) which will be used to digitally recreate your home for the redesign process. 3. I create 2-3 remodel floorpan blueprints. This allows you to choose from multiple design options and see different ways your space can be used. All floorpans are designed according to current architectural building standards and include all of the measurements needed to start the building process. I will also create high quality 3D renderings so you can get a better idea of what each design will look like. 4. All blueprints are printed on 11x17 paper and delivered to you along with a 3D virtual tour and digital files. During this step, we can also work together to revise the designs as needed. 5. You can now take your floor plan blueprints to a home builder to start the permitting and construction process. About me: I have professional training in both architectural design and interior design. I have personally designed over 900 custom built homes located in Washington, Oregon and California. Today, I use my design talents to bring existing homes to the next level! Cost: Flat Rate $1.50 Per Square Foot for initial design. Flat Rate $.75 Per Square Foot for Design Revisions 30% Deposit Required Let's work together and bring the fullest potential out of your property!

Architects questions, answered by experts

Arched windows used to be most prevalent in more traditional home styles, like Spanish colonial and Gothic, but they are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. You’ll often find arched windows in new home builds across many styles, including farmhouse and contemporary architecture. This represents a more general trend toward more unique houses with interesting features.

In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.

Universal design is a design concept that states that products, spaces, and general environments are designed to be used by everyone, with an emphasis on accessibility for those with limited mobility or other special needs.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.
