Graded building site with erosion control in Whatcom County, Washington

Ferndale, WA

General Contractor

Built for Ferndale's Ground, Weather, and Lot Types

Ferndale's river-bottom soils and high winter rainfall make drainage and grading a first priority on most sites. Our site preparation and erosion control work starts with that water in mind, before any concrete is poured.

Ferndale's housing stock spans several eras. Newer subdivisions from the 2000s and later sit alongside 1970s to 1990s homes and a smaller number of pre-1940 houses. Each era calls for different work, from tying in new additions to updating aging framing, flooring, and bathrooms.

Lots here vary widely, from city parcels to properties that span 50 acres or more. Larger rural parcels need pole buildings, ADUs, driveways, and tree removal coordinated with access and site conditions.

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.
