JDB's Design Manager, Lisa, is a certified ADU Specialist.
"ADU Specialists are trained to provide valuable expertise to help meet the increasing demand for properties with ADU potential. They understand planning and building regulations, property eligibility, development process and costs, and the return on investment of ADUs in order to better assist their clients.
ADU Specialists comprise a network of over 850 accredited professionals across 21 states. These building and real estate practitioners have completed and passed robust training in order to display their ADU expertise to the market."
License or Registration?
Did you know that Washington is a state with no licensing requirements for contractors? Instead, we have contractor registration, which means that anybody who can afford insurance and a bond can register with the department of Labor and Industries (L&I).
We are working with our state builders association to create licensing requirements to "raise the bar". Until that happens, "licensed, bonded and insured" doesn't mean as much as you think.
So how do you determine if your contractor is a skilled, experienced professional or a guy with a dog and a truck? Ask if they have any industry designations or if they belong to any industry organizations.
We also have links on our "Renovation Resources" page to various sites where you can check up on contractors to see if they are legit.
Remember that we are the sister company to Sound Seismic, Seattle's best trained and most professional earthquake retrofit specialist.
"Thank you to all of our colleagues who have helped make us more professional remodelers."
