When you build a custom home or commit to a major remodel or addition, you’re going into business with your general contractor (GC). The work you’ll do together will last a couple of months, or perhaps a year, but the end result will produce dividends for a lifetime. So when making this decision, it’s important to know who you’re going into business with.
I was born and raised in Snohomish County and quickly found my calling as a second generation master carpenter. I learned the craft and the business from my father, a builder with an impeccable reputation, and then set off to open my own GC in 1995. Ryner Homes is based in Snohomish County; we primarily serve this area, along with select portions of King County north of Seattle.
We’re a close-knit, family-oriented team. Seven of us work full time to manage and oversee your project from beginning to end. This includes: initial consultation, estimates, contract, architectural designs, engineering, permitting, construction, and the final walkthrough. We’re fully responsive throughout the process and pride ourselves on delivering world class service.
I’m often asked why I don’t hire my subcontractors to work in-house – plumbers, electricians, drywall and concrete pros, etc. While that would allow me to fully manage every schedule, it wouldn’t make sense from a financial standpoint. Only a tract home builder could keep that many people fully busy every day of the year. To provide the very best service at a competitive price, I work with a very close list of trusted subcontractors, most of whom have been delivering spectacular results with me for more than 20 years. It’s our job to manage their schedules and manage your expectations. We build our calendars with flexibility to handle delays in scheduling and materials availability.
If you are looking for a new custom home, addition, remodel, renovation or need fire / water / flood restoration work, contact us and we will arrange an appointment for a free consultation. We look forward to meeting you!

When selecting a design+build partner, trust your heart, mind, and gut. As tempting as the cheapest bid may be, “cheap” will cost you more in the long run – immediate headaches during construction, countless frustrations for the long haul, and increased risk of injury, or fire/flood damage from shoddy workmanship and cut corners.
When buying most things in life, take a luxury car for example, the depreciation begins the moment you put it into gear. When you build a luxury home, the appreciation begins immediately – in terms of equity and quality of life.
Ryner Homes delivers a great working experience (during our time together) and the greatest overall value (long after we’re gone).
