Build Structures That Reflect Your Vision

Deliver Remodeling Solutions Built to Last

Backed by forty-five years in carpentry and home building

Black Dog Contracting brings 45 years of carpentry and remodeling experience to homeowners across Lake Stevens and Snohomish County. Owner Tom Christie handles interior remodeling, custom structures, and small repairs — from full kitchen guts to the jobs other contractors don't want to bother with. That depth of experience means understanding what materials hold up, how to sequence work so it's thought through before it starts, and how to solve problems when the walls come down and conditions change.

You might be ready to move forward with a small repair, or you might have a bigger vision that needs to get on paper first. Either way, the approach stays the same: quality materials, careful execution, and work done right the first time. Whether you're converting a garage into usable space, needing help creating a pole barn, removing an interior wall to open up your kitchen, working on a bridge repair, or building a custom deck that extends your home outdoors, the work gets planned with your goals in mind.

Black Dog Contracting serves residential and commercial clients throughout Snohomish County — from Arlington to Mill Creek and Mukilteo to Monroe. Tom Christie and his team bring excellent problem-solving skills to every project, large or small, with free consultations and estimates available to help you understand what's possible and what it takes to get there.

Tom Christie provides free consultations and estimates so you can share your vision and get clear answers before committing to the work. Whether you're planning a full kitchen redesign, structural changes, or tenant improvements, the process starts with understanding what you're asking for and what conditions exist. As one recent client put it: Tom was patient and flexible as we worked through unforeseen challenges that resulted in several changes along the way — communicative, respectful, and clear about what each decision meant for the timeline and outcome.

The work itself stays clean, neat, and orderly. Flooring gets replaced without leaving debris scattered through your home. Windows get added without compromising structural integrity. Walls come down only after the framing plan accounts for load and finish. You'll know what to expect at each stage, and when adjustments are necessary, you'll understand why and what the options are.

That kind of coordination matters whether you're tackling one room or multiple spaces across your property:
