Quality Green Remodeling and New Construction

Sunshine Construction LLC is a custom residential construction company, based in North Seattle, owned and managed by Jon Alexander. Our focus is on large residential remodels, additions and custom homes.

Building only one project at a time allows us to fully focus on producing the best possible quality and providing the best possible experience for all those involved. We work in all neighborhoods in the city of Seattle and other nearby areas. Since 1991, we have specialized in green remodeling and new construction.

• History
  Conducting business since 1983, Sunshine Construction LLC began to focus and specialize in green and sustainable building and remodeling in 1991.
  
  
• Philosophy
  The highest priority for Sunshine Construction LLC is to fully understand what our customers want. We listen carefully to the homeowner’s goals, priorities, and concerns. We work collaboratively with them, their architect, and other team members throughout the project to ensure goals are met with the highest possible quality workmanship. Our goal is build beautiful homes that truly reflect their owners' priorities and goals; that provide places that enhance health and well being; and that significantly minimize impacts on the environment and lifecycle costs.
  
  
• Green Building
  In building or remodeling a home there are hundreds of decisions that the homeowners need to make. Decisions for most conventional projects are made largely based on:

  • Functionality
  • Aesthetics
  • Personal preference
  • Cost

  With green building, those same decisions are addressed by considering additional factors which lead to:
  

  • Enhanced indoor air quality,
    
  • Reduced lifecycle costs through energy conservation and the use of durable materials,
    
  • Reduction of the home’s impact on the local, regional and global environment.
    

  We believe successful green building is achieved through the effective collaboration with all those involved on a project. Our goal is to build homes that are both healthy for the residents and that have a minimal effect on the larger environment with reduced lifecycle costs. Achieving these goals occurs by fully understanding and considering our customer’s priorities and concerns and helping them find the best means to achieve them. Our approach is to help guide the homeowners consideration of green building options and opportunities that can achieve their goals while fitting their budget. And then we help to implement each of the steps chosen with the most cost-effective and high-quality approach possible.
  
  Incorporating any new material or strategy into the construction process involves a learning curve, sometimes a steep one. This also is true for green building. Sunshine Construction LLC is not at all new to green building; we have a proven track record that includes extensive experience in building highly energy efficient homes, incorporating water conservation alternatives, and using quality, low-toxic materials that are resource efficient. The 16 years we’ve specialized in green building have provided us with many opportunities to implement, and in many cases, pioneer the use of numerous green building innovations that are now standard green building practices.
  
  Having been the first to construct our local Built Green™ program’s highest rated home and, subsequently, the program’s highest rated remodel, Sunshine Construction LLC offers you confidence in our green building expertise, a proven track record of success, and a list of satisfied customers. Please see our Projects Page.
