SEATTLE, WA - April 09, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE -
Better Builders, a Seattle-based construction and renovation contractor, announces an expansion of its home renovation services portfolio to address growing demand for accessory dwelling units and outdoor living spaces throughout the Seattle metropolitan area. The company, which has operated in the region for 35 years, has restructured its service offerings to meet evolving homeowner needs in the current housing market.
The expanded service portfolio includes increased capacity for accessory dwelling unit construction, responding to Seattle's housing density initiatives and zoning changes that permit ADUs on single-family lots. The company has also enhanced its outdoor living construction capabilities, including deck installations, patio construction, and exterior improvement projects.
"The Seattle housing market has shifted significantly over the past year, with homeowners seeking to maximize their property usage through ADUs and functional outdoor spaces," said Pete Baughman, founder of Better Builders. "We have restructured our operations to meet this demand while maintaining our focus on code compliance and project efficiency."
Better Builders' Home Renovation Services now encompasses custom home building, whole-house remodels, kitchen and bathroom renovations, home additions, basement remodeling, accessory dwelling units, outdoor living spaces, and exterior improvements. The company has added specialized teams for ADU construction to handle the technical requirements of these projects, including utility connections, separate entrances, and compliance with Seattle's specific ADU regulations.
The expansion comes as Seattle continues to experience housing shortages and increased property values. According to recent city data, ADU permit applications have increased by 40 percent year-over-year, reflecting homeowner interest in creating additional rental income or multigenerational living spaces. The company's ADU projects typically range from 400 to 800 square feet and include both attached and detached units.

Recent projects indicate a 30 percent increase in outdoor living space requests compared to the previous year, with homeowners investing in covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and weather-resistant deck installations suitable for the Pacific Northwest climate.
The company's approach to project management includes detailed timeline planning, budget transparency, and coordination with local permitting offices. Projects are backed by a five-year craftsmanship warranty, which covers structural work, installations, and finishing details. The warranty terms exceed Washington State's two-year standard for construction defects, providing extended coverage for homeowners.

The company employs licensed contractors, designers, and project managers who coordinate all aspects of residential construction projects.
