From BuildZoom:

Seattle Design Builders at 3131 Western Ave, Seattle, WA 98121, held a General Contractor license (#SEATTDB905L1) with the Tukwila contractors license board with an expiration date of 06-21-2022. We last verified the license was expired on 03-26-2026.

Their BuildZoom score is 0 because we haven’t been able to verify an active license. As a result, they’re not ranked in the top 50% of 128,670 Washington contractors.

If you’re thinking about hiring them, we recommend double-checking their license status with your local licensing authority. Alternatively, use our project planner to be easily matched to qualified, licensed professionals in your area.
