FROM OUR CIENTS
"Attention To Detail"
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Total Developments on multiple construction projects throughout the Eastside and Seattle. As an interior designer, I’m extremely particular about the trades I partner with, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Their attention to detail is truly refreshing, problem-solving and they ensure the client is 100% satisfied before the project is complete.

"Their work is excellent"
The keys to our excellent relationship with the Total Developments Team is we trust and respect each other. We’ve also become close friends. They under promise and over deliver. The quality of their work is excellent - they don't cut corners. They plan ahead and don't start until they are ready to deliver on schedule. The TD team communicates in a timely and respectful manner. We’ve always gotten to fair resolutions and they keep things moving to good outcomes for both of us.

"Would use them again in a heartbeat"
Total Developments built us our dream kitchen with top-quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. They communicated clearly with us about costs, timelines, and updates for our project, so we knew exactly what to expect. We would use them again in a heartbeat.

Does my project need permits?
Whether you will need permits or not depends on the type of project you're working on.
Projects that typically require a permit:
- Building a new house, garage, or addition
- Finishing a basement, attic, or garage into living space
- Adding or removing walls
- Decks more than ~30 inches high
- Retaining walls 4 ft or taller
- Electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work
- Patio covers, carports, or porches
- Detached sheds over ~200 sq ft
- Replacing windows/doors if it changes the opening size
Projects that DO NOT typically require a permit:
- Painting
- Flooring
- Cabinets or countertops
- Cosmetic interior work
- Small sheds under ~200 sq ft with no electrical/plumbing
- Low-voltage outdoor lighting
Should we hire the cheaper estimate we received?
It depends on why they’re cheaper. A lower price can be great—or a warning sign. Before deciding, compare contractors on a few key factors:
1. Scope of Work -
Make sure the bids include the same work and materials. A cheaper contractor might:
- Use lower-quality materials
- Skip steps (permits, prep work, cleanup)
- Leave out parts of the job that will become extra charges later
2. Reputation & Experience -
Check the following:
- Reviews and references
- Photos of past projects
- Years doing similar work
A contractor with solid experience may save you money by avoiding mistakes and delays.
3. Licensing, Insurance, and Permits -
Confirm they have:
- Proper licensing for your area
- Liability insurance and worker’s comp
- Willingness to pull permits if required
If they don’t, you could be financially responsible if something goes wrong.
4. Communication & Professionalism -
Notice how they handle:
- Written estimates
- Clear timelines
- Responsiveness to questions
Poor communication early usually means bigger issues during the project.
5. Price Outliers
If one bid is much lower than the others, it often means:
- They misunderstood the project
- Plan to cut corners
- Will charge change orders later
What seperates a great contractor from an average or below average contractor?
- Clear communication from the beginning of initial intro meeting. It sets the tone for the entire project and what the consumer gets.
- Detailed planning and organizing.
- Quality control of project of trades.
- Finical transparency.
- Problem solving ability.
- Reputation and reviews.
Do we need a designer?
Whether you need a designer or not typically depends on the scope of the project.
You probably don’t need a designer when:
- You’re doing simple updates (paint, flooring, fixtures)
- You already know exactly what you want
The layout isn’t changing
- Your contractor helps with basic selections
Example: replacing cabinets, countertops, and appliances in the same layout.
- A good contractor can often handle this without a separate designer.
A designer is very helpful when:
- You’re changing the layout
- Moving plumbing, walls, or electrical
- Doing a kitchen or bathroom gut remodel
- You want a cohesive style and material plan
- You’re overwhelmed with hundreds of product choices
Designers also help prevent costly problems like:
- Cabinets not fitting
- Bad traffic flow
- Lighting placed incorrectly
- Materials that clash
