General contractor in Birch Bay

Birch Bay's homes sit close to a shoreline where salt air and winter king tides wear on framing, siding, and fasteners. Many houses date from the 1970s through the 1990s, so roofs, foundations, and decks often need attention. Our crew handles repairs and upgrades built for that wet, salt-exposed setting.

Birch Bay

General Contractor

Built for Birch Bay's Salt Air and Tides

Salt air corrodes standard steel fasteners, trim, and flashing faster than inland weather does. We specify coated fasteners and replace old flashing at windows, doors, and roof-to-wall transitions during every exterior job. This prevents rot from returning under new siding.

Birch Bay's older housing stock was often built with original mortar and framing that have seen decades of coastal exposure. Our exterior structural repairs and masonry work target those weak points before water reaches the wall substrate. Our foundation and concrete work also accounts for the saturated soils common along the bay.

Winter king tides have flooded homes and roads in Birch Bay in recent years. Our erosion control construction and grading work help manage runoff and slope stability on properties near the water.

We loved working with Sam and having him build this wheelchair ramp! He came in under other bids in time frame and cost. Great communicating when he would be on site and when different materials would be available. Respectful of our home and cleaned up really well at the end of the job. Sherman contracting is our new go-to for any contracting job.

Sam came and took a gigantic cottonwood tree down for me at my front driveway. His services were prompt, quality, and affordable. Would recommend to 10/10. Thanks again Sherman General Contracting 🍻

Sherman General Contraction did some significant work on our home. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. Their lead carpenter was a very skilled craftsman at the highest level.

Look no further. Sam is your guy! We just had a full bathroom remodel done and have nothing but great things to say about Sam and his crew. My husband and I have had one bad contractor experience after another for the last 4 years and Sam restored our faith in the industry. All of them are kind, respectful and skilled at what they do. They did absolutely beautiful work; they paid attention to all of the small details and noticed everything before we did so we didn’t have to point out any touch ups. We had a large amount of tile work and it was executed flawlessly. They finished on time and slightly below the estimate. We couldn’t be happier.

General Contractor FAQ for Birch Bay

Common questions from Birch Bay customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Coated or stainless fasteners, corrosion-resistant trim, and properly sealed flashing resist salt exposure better than standard steel. We recommend these materials on any exterior job near the water.

Yes. Erosion control construction and site grading can direct stormwater away from slopes and foundations. Slope stability is checked before any excavation near the bluff edge.

Salt air speeds up mortar softening, and many homes built from the 1970s to 1990s still have original joints. Repointing early keeps moisture from reaching the wall behind the brick or block.
