Residential Construction Services in Sequim

Your home should support the way you live today.

You may own an older property with a closed kitchen, small bathrooms, or rooms that no longer serve a clear purpose. You may need another bedroom, a larger living area, a private suite for family members, or an ADU that creates rental income.

You may also own land and want to build a custom home designed around your lifestyle and long-term plans.

CKS Builders LLC works with homeowners at different stages of the construction process. Some clients already have detailed plans. Others are beginning with a general idea and need help determining what may be possible.

Owner Steven Frerichs works directly with clients to review the property, discuss the desired result, and explain the steps that may be required before construction can begin.

Whole-Home Remodeling in Sequim

A whole-home remodel can improve how the entire property functions.

Many older homes were built with smaller, more divided rooms. The kitchen may be separated from the dining and living areas. Bathrooms may be too small for the current household. The laundry room may be inconveniently located, or an upstairs layout may waste valuable space.

CKS Builders LLC can help with whole-home remodeling that includes:

Complete interior tear-outs Removing finishes down to the studs Opening kitchens and living areas Removing or relocating walls Modifying load-bearing structures where appropriate Reconfiguring bedrooms and bathrooms Relocating laundry areas Opening enclosed staircases Replacing windows and doors Installing flooring and trim Completing finish carpentry Coordinating plumbing, electrical, drywall, and other specialty work

The goal is not simply to make the home look newer. The layout should make better use of the available space and reflect how the homeowner wants to live.

Home Additions in Sequim

A home addition can provide needed space without requiring you to move.

CKS Builders LLC can help homeowners plan additions such as:

Bedroom additions Bathroom additions Primary suites Guest suites Family rooms Kitchen expansions Home offices Laundry areas Flexible living spaces Second-story additions

A successful addition should feel connected to the original home. The roofline, windows, siding, interior trim, ceiling heights, and room transitions all affect whether the completed project feels intentional.

CKS Builders LLC considers how the new space will connect to the existing floor plan and how it will be used over time.

ADU Construction in Sequim

An accessory dwelling unit can create valuable secondary living space on the same property as a primary home.

Property owners may consider an ADU for:

Long-term rental income Housing for parents or adult children Guest accommodations A private home office Flexible future living space

CKS Builders LLC can help with attached and detached ADU projects, subject to the property, plans, utilities, permits, and applicable requirements.

A typical ADU may include:

One or two bedrooms A full bathroom A kitchen A living area Laundry space Storage A separate entrance Efficient windows and exterior doors Durable interior finishes

Because ADUs are generally smaller than traditional homes, the layout needs to use space carefully. Kitchen placement, storage, bedroom privacy, bathroom access, and natural light all affect how comfortable the unit feels.

CKS Builders LLC helps clients evaluate these practical details before the project moves into construction.

Custom Home Construction in Sequim

Building a custom home allows you to create a property around your priorities rather than adapting to an existing floor plan.

CKS Builders LLC works with clients who already have plans and clients who are still developing their ideas.

Approximately 60 percent of the custom construction clients Steven has worked with began without completed plans. They knew they wanted to build but needed help understanding the steps required to move forward.

A custom home project may involve:

Early planning Plan review Engineering coordination Permit coordination Site layout Clearing and grading Erosion control Underground utilities Foundation and concrete coordination Framing Roofing coordination Windows and doors Siding Plumbing and electrical coordination Cabinetry Countertops Flooring Tile Interior trim Finish carpentry

Steven reviews how the design will work in daily life. A floor plan may look good on paper but still create problems with kitchen workflow, furniture placement, storage, or room access.

Early construction input can help identify those concerns before they become expensive changes.

Kitchen Remodeling in Sequim

A kitchen remodel should improve how the room functions, not only how it looks.

CKS Builders LLC can help with kitchen remodeling that includes:

Wall removal Structural openings Kitchen islands Peninsulas New cabinetry Quartz countertops Tile backsplashes Flooring Lighting Appliance upgrades Plumbing fixture updates Windows and doors Interior trim

Many homeowners want to open the kitchen to the dining room or living area. This can improve natural light, create more room for seating, and allow the kitchen to feel connected to the rest of the home.

Not every wall can be removed without structural planning. Load-bearing walls may require engineering and new support.

CKS Builders LLC can help evaluate the existing space and coordinate the professionals required for structural work.

Bathroom Remodeling in Sequim

Bathroom remodeling often begins with a tub or shower that no longer works for the homeowner.

CKS Builders LLC can complete:

Full bathroom tear-outs Walk-in showers Tub-to-shower conversions Glass shower enclosures Tile shower walls Tile flooring Vanities Countertops Fixture updates Lighting Storage improvements Layout changes

Many clients prefer a complete bathroom renovation rather than replacing a single fixture. The shower, vanity, flooring, lighting, and storage all affect how the room functions.

When the bathroom is part of a larger remodel, there may also be opportunities to relocate fixtures, expand the room, or create a new bathroom in another part of the home.

Our Background

Experience Built Over a Lifetime in Construction

CKS Builders LLC was established in 2025, but Steven's experience began much earlier.

Steven Frerichs, owner of CKS Builders LLC serving Sequim, WA
Crested Butte, Colorado

Steven grew up in the trades while his father operated a painting business in Crested Butte, Colorado. He became involved in the work at a young age and was running crews by approximately age 18.

Montana & Alaska

After moving to Montana, Steven expanded into carpentry. He later worked in Alaska, where he managed crews and completed remodeling and custom construction projects.

The Olympic Peninsula

After moving to the Olympic Peninsula, Steven spent approximately five years working with a high-end homebuilder and running construction crews.

What Clients Value

Clients have appreciated Steven's knowledge, honesty, communication, craftsmanship, and ability to see possibilities within a property or floor plan.

Budgeting

Clear and Detailed Project Budgeting

Construction costs depend on the property, scope, materials, structure, and finish selections.

01

CKS Builders LLC usually begins with an initial conversation and a property visit. Steven learns about the project, reviews visible conditions, and discusses the homeowner's priorities.

02

For many remodeling projects, CKS Builders LLC can provide a preliminary budget range. This helps determine whether the proposed scope and available investment are reasonably aligned.

03

Once the client is serious about proceeding, Steven develops a more detailed estimate. He uses spreadsheets to explain the different project costs and clearly identifies overhead and profit instead of hiding those amounts within subcontractor pricing.

04

If the original plan does not fit the budget, CKS Builders LLC may be able to discuss alternatives. The project may be simplified, adjusted, completed in phases, or focused on the highest-priority work.

Communication

Communication Throughout the Project

CKS Builders LLC typically organizes routine communication through email.

This creates a written record of:

Selections
Pricing
Approvals
Questions
Project changes
Important decisions

When a response is needed quickly, Steven contacts the homeowner by phone.

Clear communication is especially important on larger projects because one choice can affect several parts of construction. Cabinet selections may affect plumbing and electrical work. Window decisions may affect framing and exterior finishes. Wall removal may affect structure, flooring, and trim.

CKS Builders LLC helps keep those details connected and organized.
