A quick look inside our paint room! 🖌️
Kevin and Jared have refined this space to make finishing our custom cabinets more efficient. Every rack, cart, and corner has a purpose.

Installing Hallmark Organic over EcoWarm isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Floating? Glue-down?
It depends on the system, the board, and how you want it to perform long term.
Radiant heat and engineered hardwood can work beautifully together — but only when the install method matches the product.
Details matter. Especially in high-end homes.

Stair skirt systems look simple. They’re not.
Every rise, run, and transition has to be mapped out before a single cut is made. One small error compounds all the way up the staircase.
This is one of those finish details that separates average from intentional craftsmanship.

We refinished this 100 year old stair newel to be a statement piece in this home. After sourcing it online, we spent hours restoring every detail- stripping it down, refining the profile and brining the craftsmanship back to life. Details like this aren’t accidental. They’re thought out and chosen.

This barn cupola may look simple from the ground, but the changing roof planes and complex angles required careful layout, precise cuts, and serious planning before anything was assembled.

This stair newel wasn’t rushed. It was planned, measured, adjusted, and built with purpose. Because the right details don’t happen by accident 👏

Ironstead Forge progress.
Every detail matters—from matching the stone to the house to shaping a barn that feels pulled from the Scottish countryside rather than dropped into it.

Experience is more than just numbers, it’s decades of hands-on dedication.

David Hanson has spent over 50 years building in Spokane... not from afar, but working with his hands and heart. His deep knowledge can’t be learned overnight, and he’s passing it on by mentoring our team on-site, teaching them how to think and build like true craftsmen.

Hanson Carlen is a proud four-generation family business, built on integrity, craftsmanship, and relationships that last.

We don’t just bring experience,
we bring history.

Celebrating 49 years of craftsmanship, quality, and tradition.

It all began in 1975 when Dewey Hanson brought his family to Spokane, continuing a legacy of custom homebuilding that started in the 1940s. From Dewey’s humble beginnings working alongside his father, to passing the torch to his son David, we’ve always focused on one thing: building homes that last.

For nearly five decades, we’ve stayed true to our roots, blending old-world craftsmanship with modern design.
