Ascent is a custom home builder with deep roots on Lopez Island.
As full-time islanders, we’re invested in our community, and in honoring the natural beauty that defines our home. Communication and collaboration are at the heart of our operation, and the quality of our work is a direct reflection of the care we put into our craft and our people.
Based on Lopez, Ascent serves the full island community. Everything we make is built to be cohesive with the land and climate of the San Juans, to endure the elements, and to last for years to come.
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2004, Ascent is a family owned and operated residential construction business from Lopez Island. We’re deeply embedded in our community, both as residents and business owners. We have a dedicated local crew of skilled craftspeople, as well as an extended network of trusted tradespeople that make our work possible.
OUR VALUES
While we are known for the elevated craftsmanship that defines our work, we’re loved for being wonderful to work with. Whether you’re on our crew, an architect partner, or one of our clients, we believe it’s critical to maintain a healthy dynamic that’s positive and collaborative. We make this happen by communicating clearly and acting with integrity — always.
WHAT WE DO
From full builds to remodels, Ascent brings the same level of curiosity, quality, and attention-to-detail to everything we touch. Our best work happens when we’re involved early in the design process, where we can ensure that our clients’ goals and budget are in alignment, while also facilitating innovative solutions for the most unique challenges.
