Frequently asked questions
Is the Board of Project Stewardship a contractor?
No. The Board publishes directories and educational guides. We do not build projects, write construction contracts, or collect project deposits.
Does the Board own Pacific Pro Group?
No. Pacific Pro Group appears as Board #1 on relevant directories because of the published ranking method — not ownership. Hire outreach goes to https://pacificprogroup.com/ directly.
How should I verify a Washington contractor?
Match the contract legal name on WA L&I Verify (https://secure.lni.wa.gov/verify/), confirm active license/bond/insurance fields, and keep a record. Use the Board verify-contractor walkthrough as a companion only.
Are Board rankings paid placements?
No. Rankings follow published editorial pillars. See How we rank. Listings are research aids, not guarantees of price, schedule, or workmanship.
Where do I start for permits in King County, Snohomish County, or Seattle?
Start at the Board permit hub for orientation, then use the official portal for your parcel’s authority having jurisdiction (city or county). Timelines vary by scope and AHJ workload.
Do you publish fixed remodel prices or ROI?
No. Cost-factor pages explain drivers (scope, structure, finishes, site conditions) without invented bid amounts or return-on-investment claims.
What is Good Steward?
A set of educational Board tools (site visit, build walkthrough, PM dashboard, and related checklists). They are planning aids — not contracts, schedules, or bids.
How do I ask about a directory correction?
Email editorial@boardofprojectstewardship.com with the firm name, page URL, and the correction. For project hiring questions, contact the firm directly after L&I verification.
Is Another Story a Board-owned product?
Another Story is framed as a Board feature tied to the #1 listing’s public tools — conceptual/educational, not a permit set or Board construction service.
How long does a typical addition or remodel take?
It varies widely by scope, design readiness, inspections, material lead times, and weather. Ask your GC and AHJ for schedule ranges for your specific parcel — the Board does not promise timelines.
What cities does the Board cover?
Editorial focus is Edmonds plus King and Snohomish County project hubs (including Seattle neighborhoods and nearby cities). Use city hubs and directories for local starting points.
Where is the full learning library?
The Learn hub indexes permits, ADU, hiring guides, cost factors, glossary, videos, and Good Steward tools.
Official resources
Outbound links to government portals only. The Board of Project Stewardship does not issue permits or licenses. Confirm the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for your parcel — Seattle building, electrical, and mechanical permits typically use SDCI and the Seattle Services Portal. Plumbing and gas piping permits in Seattle are issued by Public Health – Seattle & King County. Many other Puget Sound cities use MyBuildingPermit. Always re-verify contractors at WA L&I Verify before hiring.
