Quality work is the lifeblood of Five Quarter Construction. This means realistic expectations, fair and transparent pricing, clear communication, and of course, good old fashioned skilled carpentry and project management.
We use quality materials and build with a “belt and suspenders” mindset, where durability is a primary goal. While this is a job, it’s also our craft and we take it seriously.

Testimonial
“I worked alongside Five Quarter Construction for 8 months while building my rammed earth house and I would recommend Walker without hesitation. He’s an honest contractor, does excellent work and takes pride in it. He was consistent in his effort and communication for the duration of a long, taxing project and does what he says he will. He’s extremely reliable, punctual, and pays attention to detail. I’m very pleased with the outcome of the work and look forward to working with him again!”
Residential framing
As the framing contractor on this custom home build, we handled the structural phase that creates the “bones” of a house. When we arrived on site the foundation was both out of square and level. We took the time to work with what was there and with a few tricks of the trade built a plumb, level and square house.
Key features:
Moving and lifting heavy structural beams
Coordination with mechanical and electrical rough-in phases
Quality lumber selection and precise cutting to minimize waste
On-schedule delivery of structural framework
Project Type: Custom Home
Location: Bellingham, WA
Testimonial
“Five Quarter Construction framed our new 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3-story home in Everson, Washington. This was an extremely complicated wood framing layout that had some very vague details in the drawings. Walker and his team worked with our designer, truss company, suppliers and structural engineer to cut through a lot of the ambiguity for us and took care of all ordering and deliveries. I’ll be hiring Five Quarter Construction again with some more carpentry work related to the kitchen, baths, fireplace surround, wet walls and soffits as we continue to finish up the plumbing, electrical, HVAC work inside the home. They are honest, of high integrity, always showed up, worked on our project everyday - not leaving to work on other projects. The result is a beautiful home that is framed to stand the test of time.
Do not hesitate to trust Five Quarter Construction with your residential construction projects. You’ll have a stellar result in the end with very low stress throughout the project.
