Who We Are
Built on Strength. Defined by Precision.
Purpose
To build more than homes - to build the foundation of thriving families, stronger communities, and lasting legacies.
Mission Statement
At Dark Horse Construction Group, our mission is to transform the construction industry through craftsmanship-driven excellence, unwavering integrity, and a relentless commitment to the families and clients we serve.
"We bring disciplined project management and skilled trades together to get the job done right. No shortcuts. No excuses."
How We Lead Every Project
Craftsmanship
If a framing square is off by an eighth, we fix it. Shortcuts show up later in a cracked tile or a door that won't close right, and we don't want our name on either.
Integrity
You'll hear it straight from us — what a change order actually costs, when the lumber's late, and why we're recommending one approach over another. No surprises at the invoice.
People First
The same crew that starts your job finishes it. We pay fair, we train on the job, and we look out for the guys on site — because good builds come from people who plan to be here next year.
Long View
We'd rather turn down work than rush it. Reputation in this trade is built one referral at a time, and we'd like to still be doing this in twenty years.
Good Neighbors
We clean up at the end of the day, we keep the noise reasonable, and we wave at the folks next door. A jobsite is someone else's street too.
A New Name.
Decades of Experience.
Dark Horse is a new brand, but our foundation is built on experience. Edgar Contreras, our owner and lead contractor, has been operating in construction for over 10 years.
We aim to build a long-term reputation in the Kirkland and Eastside market as a dependable general contractor known for consistency, transparency, and high-quality results.
How We Build
Walk the Site
We come out, look at the space, and talk through what you're after.
Real Numbers
A line-item bid you can actually read. No padding, no vague allowances.
Lock the Plan
Permits, subs, and a start date that holds. You'll know who shows up and when.
Build It
Clean site, same crew each day, weekly updates so nothing sneaks up on you.
Hand Off
Walk the job together, punch list closed out, keys in your hand.
