Jake Thornton

Jake Thornton is a Washington State licensed general contractor with a background in landscape construction and outdoor living spaces. He has built decks, patios, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens across Seattle neighborhoods including Queen Anne, Magnolia, and West Seattle — areas where lot grades and drainage require careful engineering.

Jake combines structural knowledge with an eye for how outdoor spaces connect to interior living areas. He works with homeowners on deck design, material selection (composite vs. cedar vs. pressure-treated), permitting, and long-term maintenance planning.

His guides cover deck construction costs, flooring for Seattle's weather, and the specific challenges of working in historic Queen Anne homes where original hardwood floors require special care.
