Building Homes That Reflect the Character of Madrona
Nestled above Lake Washington, with its tree-lined streets, diverse architectural styles ranging from early-1900s Craftsman homes to contemporary infill residences, and a strong sense of community, Madrona is a neighborhood where homes are more than just properties—they're long-term investments and a reflection of the people who live in them. At Wilkinson Builders, we understand what makes Madrona special, and that understanding guides every project we take on as a trusted local general contractor.

-

New Home Construction
Our new construction services cover every phase of the process, including site evaluation, permitting coordination with the City of Seattle, budgeting, scheduling, trade management, and construction oversight. We work closely with architects and designers from the earliest stages of planning to ensure that the vision for your home is not only beautiful but also practical, efficient, and cost-effective to build. By collaborating before plans are finalized, we help identify opportunities, avoid unnecessary costs, and create a smoother path from concept to completion.
-

Remodels & Renovations
Sometimes the right solution isn't moving—it's reimagining the home you already love. As a trusted remodeling contractor in Madrona, we approach every renovation project with respect for the existing structure and a clear vision for how it can better serve your future needs. We begin by carefully evaluating the property's existing conditions, establishing realistic expectations, and developing a plan that minimizes disruption while maximizing long-term value.
-

Special Projects
Some of the most rewarding projects are the ones that don't fit into a standard category: handcrafted cedar barrel saunas perfect for Seattle's rainy seasons, dedicated home theaters with acoustically optimized layouts, custom home offices designed for productivity, and other one-of-a-kind additions. Our special projects services bring the same level of thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and craftsmanship to custom spaces designed around your lifestyle.
Home Construction Built for Madrona's Unique Housing Landscape
From lakefront estates to modest bungalows tucked into the hillside, the housing landscape in Madrona is varied. As one of the more versatile home construction companies in Madrona, Wilkinson Builders works across every home type, tailoring our approach to suit the structure, the site, and the story behind your property.
-

Historic & Older Madrona Homes
Many of Madrona's most beloved homes date back to the early 20th century. These homes have their own characters, and they deserve a construction partner who treats these homes accordingly. We bring deep experience renovating and expanding older homes, understanding their structural novelties, original materials, and the care required to modernize without erasing what makes them special. We handle permitting, structural assessments, and period-sensitive upgrades that honor the past while supporting how you live today.
-

Newly Constructed Homes
For a teardown redevelopment or building from scratch, Wilkinson Builders manages the entire new construction process with precision and personal attention. We build custom homes designed specifically for the lifestyle of the family who will call it home. Every decision, from foundation type to roofline, is made with your long-term comfort and future goals in mind.
-

Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs)
DADUs have become one of the most practical and popular additions for Madrona homeowners, offering rental income potential, space for extended family, a private guest suite, or a dedicated work-from-home retreat on your own property. Washington State's updated ADU legislation has made the process more accessible, and we are experienced in navigating the permitting, design coordination, and construction specific to Seattle's DADU requirements.

We Collaborate Before the First Nail is Driven

-

Whether we're building a high-end custom home or renovating a bungalow with careful attention to its age and qualities, the standard we apply to craftsmanship never changes. Expect the same level of precision and pride in a bathroom renovation as in how we will handle a ground-up new construction.
