▸ Why a family of trades
Most remodels mean juggling five companies. This one doesn’t.
Painters, flooring crews, roofers, and handymen, each on their own schedule, each pointing at the next when something slips. You end up the project manager you never signed up to be.
King Tides puts one contractor over a family of specialist trade companies. You make one call. We line up the right crews and stay responsible for the result.
The problem. A whole-house project pulls in several trades. Hire them separately and you are the one chasing callbacks, holding the schedule together, and sorting out who owns a mistake when it happens.
How the family works. Each trade is its own company that does only that work, and King Tides is the contractor over all of them. Most have their own website now, including Bellingham Paint Pros and Bellingham Floor Pros. The rest of the family is reached through King Tides, all on the same standard.
What you get. An expert on every part of the job and one person who answers for the whole thing, from the first walk-through to the warranty. From interior painting and flooring to roofing and exterior work, the right specialist company handles each trade across Bellingham, Fairhaven, Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine, Birch Bay, Sudden Valley, and the rest of Whatcom County.
What it costs. Most projects fall inside published ranges, not a mystery quote. Find your planning range →
▸ Before you hire anyone
A remodel is a lot of money and a lot of trust.
Here is how to check any contractor in Washington before you sign, ours included. Good ones make this easy.
02
Ask who is responsible
On a job with several trades, ask one question. Who answers when something goes wrong? With King Tides, one project owner runs the crews and owns the result.
03
Get the scope in writing
A real estimate names the work, the materials, and how change orders are handled. You get all of that before any demolition starts.
04
Watch the deposit
Be careful with a large payment up front. Ask how the payments line up with the work as it actually gets done.
▸ Our Companies
One contractor.
A family of specialists.
Each trade is run by people who do only that trade. They came to work under one standard. Most have their own website. The rest of the family is reached through King Tides, on the same standard.
