From our clients and colleagues

“It’s a rarity to find the level of quality and beauty in homes that are designed and built by implementing true, Old World craftsmanship. But that’s exactly what Custom Home Builder Todd Parmenter and his team does every day at Parmenter Homes, Inc. Since opening its doors in the early 1990’s, Parmenter has earned a reputation as one of the Northwest’s premiere builders. They specialize in traditional homes that are designed and built at the highest caliber. Each one features timeless design and classical, textural elements such as shingle siding, shutters, heavy trim work on walls and ceilings, the use of fine hardwoods, massive fireplaces, and an extensive use of stone – all of which have become part of the signature style of the company.”

“For the past two Seattle Street of Dreams events, in 2003 and 2005, the title of best of show was given to Parmenter Homes. When the 2006 event was announced, design/builders in the Seattle area were gunning for the title that Parmenter Homes has held since 2003. Architects Northwest and Parmenter Homes challenged themselves to design and build a house that stood out from what they’ve created in the past.”

“Parmenter Homes' Chatham House won 17 of 21 awards, including Best in Show, at the Seattle Street of Dreams.”

“But realty agents and the public went for the splashy — and enormous — "The Retreat" at Water's Edge. At more than 11,000 square feet, it was the largest house ever for the Seattle Street of Dreams. The Retreat" also claimed Most Livable and Best Kitchen from Realtors; Best Interior Design from professionals; and Best Landscaping, Best Interior, Best Outdoor Living, and Best Architectural Design from the public.”
