Expert Home building in Whatcom County, WA

Building a new home in Whatcom County means working with land and weather that demand real attention to detail. The county's marine climate brings long stretches of rain, and Fraser Valley outflow winds from British Columbia can push sudden cold and high-velocity air across the region. Wooded lots, sloped terrain, and varied soil conditions are common from Bellingham to Blaine to Lynden. These factors shape every decision from site prep and foundation design to framing, drainage, and weather sealing. At Sherman General Contracting LLC, we approach each home build with the craftsmanship and integrity that have guided our work since we founded the company. We serve homeowners across Whatcom County and the surrounding region, and we treat every project as a chance to build something that holds up for the people who live in it. If you are ready to build in Whatcom County, contact us to talk through your project.

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.
