Framed in Old-Growth.
Standing on History.
Eyewitness account: one of Seattle's oldest neighborhoods — Victorians and Craftsman boxes framed in old-growth fir, with new townhomes filling in between them. Every block holds a century of remodel decisions, and every wall remembers most of them.

Exhibit A · The Housing Stock
1900s–1920s Victorians, Craftsman, and boxes — old-growth fir framing, plaster and lath, and remodel layers from every decade since.
Exhibit B · What Tends to Fail
Original wiring pockets, settling foundations, hundred-year doors and windows, weather-side trim, and the surprises that live inside layered remodels.
Exhibit C · Jobs We Do Here
Electrical assessment and panel work by a master electrician, plaster and drywall repair, door planing and rehanging, trim matching, and fixture swaps.
Exhibit D · Getting to You
A straight shot from the shop — across the canal and down 23rd or MLK. CD jobs group with the Capitol Hill and Washington Park runs.
Sound familiar? Most Central District jobs get diagnosed over the phone — and you get a final price before anyone touches a tool. No hourly guessing game.
📞 (206) 614-0001The framing inside a surviving 1890s Seattle house was cut from trees that were centuries old when they fell — wood so dense and resinous that modern fasteners complain going in. It does not exist commercially anymore.— The City That Wood Built, Era I · After the Fire · Read the full history of Seattle’s houses →

Do you actually serve the Central District?
Yes — it rides the same runs as Capitol Hill and Washington Park, straight down 23rd from the canal. Century homes are the core of what this shop has worked on since 1991.
My CD house still has old wiring. Is that an emergency?
Usually not an emergency — but it is a priority. Early-1900s wiring was not built for modern loads, and the signs are warm outlets, flickering fixtures, and breakers tripping on ordinary days. A master electrician can assess what is actually behind the plaster and fix what needs fixing without gutting walls that do not.
What does a handyman visit cost in the Central District?
You will know before anyone touches a tool — pricing is discussed on the first call, and estimates are free with no obligation. CD jobs group tightly with neighboring runs, which keeps smaller jobs economical.
