Pacific Northwest
Experts in Residential Exteriors
Making your property the best it can be.
As our name implies, we specialize in the outer layer. Doing exteriors well in the Pacific Northwest requires a special understanding weather and materials. But we believe it also means understanding history and relevant architecture.
To that end, we provide an overall design vision, thoughtful execution, and durable, long-term quality. From decks, patios and porches to extensive exterior redesign and restoration, we enhance aesthetics, expand utility, and increase the value of the properties we work on.
Enhanced Outdoor Living
Matching the DNA of your property, and you.
Outdoor Living means something different to everyone. While one of our clients was focused on entertaining and watching sports, another wanted an indoor/outdoor space to enjoy a car collection. Another wanted a dry and cozy space that would enhance the experience of living in the woods.
At Husk, we design for more than lifestyle. We look at the property as a whole, and design for architectural integration through style, materials, size and form.
Bringing the Vision to Life
We aim to design and deliver the best in exterior home improvement, and doing so takes more than just a vision. When you work with Husk, you also get the best in project stewardship.
Our tradesman are experts in their individual areas of focus, and your designer/project manager is on site every day, keeping an eye on the big picture, answering questions as they arise and helping to solve problems as they come up. We ensure that the work keeps moving forward and that the end result is exactly what you were originally looking for and more.
Thoughtful Design
Quality Construction
Beautiful Finish
I can’t say enough good things about husk exteriors and Daniel. We’ve now hired him twice for two separate large projects. The first project was a two story deck to replace a poorly built deck. I had no idea what I wanted and was completely overwhelmed by the project. After I went over the project with him and told him I didn’t really know where to start, he showed up to our house to show me the most stunning hand drawn sketches of multiple different ideas at different price points and worked with me to come up with what worked best for the space. I was blown away by his incredible attention to detail, vision, and talent for designing and constructing outdoor spaces. Our deck is now a HEAVILY used space by our whole family and everyone who visits (we get endless compliments). A few years later I came to him with the same issue, our front yard was a dirt slope and I just had no idea where to start (truly this time I didn’t even give him an idea to go off of - I was stumped). Again he came to me with stunning sketches and a whole vision for our yard to make the slope feel usable and intentional, while leaning into our natural forested yard. He added winding paths, stairs, beautiful boulders, a firepit area, and so much more. Our yard is now something I couldn’t have even dreamed of. When you hire Daniel you hire someone who cares deeply about his work and not only does things right but does them exceedingly well. We cannot recommend him enough.
Husk just put up a beautiful timber patio cover structure for us! In order to do that they needed to move a medium sized cedar shed to a new spot, which they made look easy :) That shed was then stained the same color as our choice for the patio cover's timber. There was clear communication from the get go at our first meeting, another virtual meeting, and updates/texts throughout the process leading up to install. It was a real pleasure to work with Daniel and his crew. The craftsmanship is amazing and is a testament to their obvious passion to not only make the structure sound but to make them gorgeous, like it was meant to be there. Looking forward to using this reclaimed space in rain or shine and I would definitely call on Husk for other projects!
Daniel did an amazing job! Great communication, and finished on time and budget. We love how the project turned out, and will happily contact Husk for any of our future projects.
Daniel of Husk Exteriors recently repaired my front porch deck which had dry rot. Out of 4 bids I got he was the first to respond to my request, the first to arrive for an onsite estimate, the only one to look UNDER the porch to see if the framing also had dry rot and one of the lowest price bids. He said he could start in two weeks and he started exactly two weeks later. He said it would take two weeks total and it took exactly two weeks. He texted me photos every day of the work he had completed and was an excellent communicator, unlike so many contractors. He discovered dry rot in a support pillar and we looked online to see it would cost $1700 for a new one. He said, "That's ridiculous! I can make you a new bottom to the existing pillar," and he DID! It looks exactly like the other three and you cannot tell it has been repaired by looking at it. A true craftsman! He also cleaned up incredibly well at the end of each work day - even sweeping and mopping the porch deck! I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough - he is my new go-to contractor for all my exterior home repair!!
We hired Husk after interviewing 3 other firms. Husk (Dan) shared and added to our vision. Dialogue was positively focused on achieving the end goal while addressing issues along the way. His pre-assessment of his capabilities/able to handle issues was spot on...any new issues uncovered were due to the usual "unknowns" with construction. He handled the permit process nicely...and we discuss findings from the city and resolutions along the way. Always asked permission to work weekends and the M-F start/end times were reasonable. Billing was standard. The end product looks great...4 month out. The attention and follow through we got from a smaller operation like's Husk exceeded our expectations.
