  3. Full-service, in-house

    “Design, materials and construction under one roof — no unnecessary middlemen.”

  4. Our own design team

    “We carry every project from concept to finished space without losing a single detail.”

    Kitchen Remodel

    "We worked with the Armada Design-and-Build team for a remodel of our Green Lake home and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Timely communication throughout and the quality of work was fabulous. Greg (Sr. Project Consultant) was a fantastic partner during the initial intake and design process."

    "Armada helped us build a two bedroom addition. It is a challenging project for regular homeowner with zero pre-experience like us. Jacob and Ryan are super helpful throughout the process. All the workers are super friendly and respectful. It is a job well done and we love the quality and professionalism of Armada."

    Home Addition

    "I had a great experience with Armada for my mom's kitchen updates, they were insightful and explained the process in the beginning which made me feel more confident working with them and letting them handle the job. I usually hire sub contractors but with time and project management I couldn't do it myself."

    "We recently worked with Armada on a home build project in Bonney Lake. From the start, Chris and the team guided me through material selection, helping me pick high-quality, durable options that fit my budget without compromising on style. Having Armada's help along the way helped us create a house we're proud of and love living in."
