mark palmer: General Contractor, Bellingham, WA -- Mark Palmer -- A Video - 09/03/11 06:51 AM
Being employed in the field of home inspection, I often see the work of local contractors -- new construction, repairs or major renovations. Mark Palmer, a Bellingham general contractor, has the skill, experience and the planning abilities to take any job to successful completion.

I have, previously, written about  Mark Palmer and his high quality outdoor kitchens. These are a specialty item, popular at some of the high-end homes in the Pacific Northwest.
This is an interesting sideline business. But Mark and his crew support themselves, primarily, from conventional carpentry and construction projects. His firm has incredible versatility. Mark can handle just … (4 comments)

mark palmer: Bellingham's Outdoor Kitchen Man -- Mark Palmer Licensed General Contractor - 03/07/11 02:36 AM
About a month ago, I wrote an article here about a Bellingham and Whatcom County licensed general contractor who has, along with his ongoing remodeling and building work, found an interesting niche market. Many people, especially those who live near the lakes around here, have decided that they want to have outdoor kitchens. And, as soon as our weather gets a bit nicer, I bet they will emerge again this year.

When Mark built the first of these, he and the client wanted to set up the facility with top-of-the-line barbecue equipment. As a result of that, he became the distributor in this … (6 comments)

mark palmer: Outdoor Kitchens by Mark Palmer, Bellingham,WA -- Part Two - 02/07/11 07:44 AM
 Yesterday, I discussed the popularity of outdoor kitchens in this corner of the Pacific Northwest. You can read that article here. In that post, I had said that I would be sharing two more photos of outdoor kitchens that were built here in Whatcom County by licensed general contractor, Mark Palmer.
Now, if you saw yesterday's post, at the link above, you will have seen one of Mark's larger kitchens. The two examples below are smaller, but they are clearly well-crafted and either one would be a welcome addition to any home.

 
These kitchens are custom designed to meet the homeowner's wants and needs. … (10 comments)

mark palmer: Outdoor Kitchens by Mark Palmer, Bellingham, WA - 02/06/11 03:25 AM
I often have inspection clients ask me for the names of licensed general contractors who are capable of remodeling the houses that the clients are buying. One state licensed contractor, who I have referred often in Bellingham and Whatcom County, is Mark Palmer. He has extensive building experience --  from disassembling and putting a house back together again to major remodels and designing and building complicated multi-level decks. 

One interesting and popular field that Mark is involved with is designing and building outdoor kitchens. The basic kitchen will usually include a sink, a barbecue and sideburners. Some of the kitchens will have all of … (10 comments)

mark palmer: General Contractor Bellingham, WA -- Mark Palmer - 07/13/10 04:12 PM
In my job, as a home inspector, I run into any number of electricians, general contractors, plumbers, etc. Some of these professionals I refer to others. Being an inspector, I end up getting feedback if someone is not happy with a recommendation that I make. I recommend those people who please my clients.
The contractor that I refer most of the time anymore, except for crawl space and under house work, is Mark Palmer. Mark is state licensed, experienced and a conscientious contractor. I practice what I preach and here he is working on a deck at a property that … (5 comments)
