Exceptional Remodel Experience with Apex! Apex Building Services completely remodeled our condo at Lake Chelan Shores—new flooring, full kitchen, and two bathrooms.

The Apex Difference: Investing in Your Community

We’re more than just a construction crew. At Apex, we're building great people who build great homes. We are a family business founded on the understanding that integrity and quality craftsmanship are fundamental to building lasting relationships.

When you choose Apex, you're also investing in the local community. We keep our business local by partnering with specialty trades, suppliers, and craftsmen right here in the Lake Chelan Valley and East Wenatchee areas. As your general contractor, we negotiate on your behalf to secure high-quality materials at the best possible prices. Every dollar you invest in your custom home is fed right back into the Washington community you love.

Our Design Build Process

We are Custom Home Builders who Keep YOU in Mind

Our strategy for success is to collaborate with every homeowner from the initial concept and design through completion of their home construction, enabling our team to have a clear understanding of each client's needs and expectations. As your general contractors, we want you to be so in love with your new home that you don't even need a vacation home (although we can always build you one of those too). Our custom homes are designed to fit your life so perfectly that you don't need a break from your everyday.

What is Design-Build?

Design-build means that all of the key aspects of your new home build are taken care of by a single team-- from design to building to warranty. This approach eliminates finger-pointing and ensures the vision you start with becomes reality.

You only have one contract and one main point of contact, which means communication is an easy process, and that nothing falls through the cracks. As your one-stop shop to make your dream come true, we know we'll work best when we develop a caring, efficient partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does it take to build a custom home in Lake Chelan?
    The timeline varies based on the complexity of your floor plan, lot conditions, and the Chelan County permitting process. On average, a custom home build takes between 10 to 14 months from the initial design phase to move-in day. At Apex, we prioritize accuracy and quality over speed, ensuring your home is built perfectly rather than rushed.
  • Do you evaluate our land before designing the house?
    Yes. Building in the Lake Chelan Valley often involves navigating unique topography, steep slopes, and specific zoning laws. We conduct a comprehensive site evaluation before the design phase begins to assess utility access, drainage, excavation needs, and compliance with the Chelan County Shoreline Master Program for waterfront properties.
  • What are the water requirements for building in Chelan County?
    Securing a new residential building permit in Chelan County requires proving legal and physical access to an adequate potable water supply. Whether your lot connects to a public water purveyor, relies on a private drilled well, or requires navigating the Chelan County Water Mitigation Program, our team guides you through the necessary testing and approvals required by the local Health District.
  • Why should I choose a "Design-Build" firm instead of a separate architect and contractor?
    With our design-build approach, you have a single point of contact from the first architectural sketch to the final walk-through. Instead of you acting as the middleman between a separate architect and a general contractor, our unified team handles everything in-house. This eliminates finger-pointing, keeps your budget on track, and prevents costly project delays.
  • Can you build my home if I already have architectural plans?
    Absolutely. While we specialize in the complete end-to-end design-build process, we frequently collaborate with clients who already have preliminary or permitted floor plans. We can take your existing blueprints and execute the construction with the high-quality craftsmanship Apex is known for.
