Small things done well.

From craftsman to Tudor to mid-century modern, vintage Seattle homes have a special appeal that emerges from local materials, traditional workmanship, and the patina of daily life. Over time, they also develop myriad issues and need regular care and modern improvements. Material Projects aims to help you transform and maintain your home inside and out via expert repairs, exceptional carpentry, and careful restoration work that gets the details right and makes a real difference.
