As with the rest of the world, we have been keeping a close eye on the developing status of the COVID-19 virus. The health and safety of our staff and clients is our primary concern during this uncertain time.

As you are likely aware, on March 23 Governor Inslee issued a COVID-19 “Stay Home and Stay Safe Order,” which limits certain businesses from operating in Washington beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25 for two weeks at which time it will be reassessed. Governor Inslee followed up that directive with a written emergency pronouncement that highlights those industries and businesses that are deemed “essential” business functions, thereby allowing these businesses to remain open and individuals may leave their residences to perform any work necessary to provision, operate, and maintain these businesses.

While originally we understood that we would be able to complete the projects we had in process, Governor Inslee has clarified and stated “all non-essential businesses in Washington State are prohibited from conducting all activities and operations except minimum basic operations.”

In the midst of all of this we are available for all of our clients, whether past, current, or prospective, and our trade partners. Please feel free to call or email if you have any questions.

Some specific ways we are responding to the Governor’s statement is that our team members in the administrative, sales and design roles, have systems in place to equip them to work remotely from home.

For prospective clients, we have moved our in-person consultations to Zoom video calls and look forward to still connecting in that manner.

For our team members in the administrative, sales and design roles, we have put systems in place to equip them to work remotely from home.

We are closely monitoring and adapting our practices by following the most recent recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the guidance of local officials.

We are remodelers, not Epidemiologists. We are not sure what tomorrow brings. There will be changes and adjustments to our plans, and plenty of uncertainty lies ahead. But, we are certain that the health of our team and our clients is our highest priority. From that, we will not waver.

Be safe. Stay healthy.
