Credo Construction

What Credo Construction does

Credo Construction is a full-service general contractor headquartered in Ferndale (Bellingham), Washington, operating across the Pacific Northwest since 2001. The firm delivers integrated design-build services spanning commercial construction, residential construction, building envelope restoration, hospitality renovation, pre-engineered steel buildings, and insurance-related damage restoration. Its work is organized into three phases — Planning, Design, and Construction — providing clients with a single point of accountability from project conception through completion, and serves commercial real estate, hospitality, industrial/manufacturing, multifamily, and residential end markets.

The company's technical capability centers on pre-engineered steel building construction delivered through an authorized dealer relationship with Metallic Building Company, specialized building envelope systems (rainscreens, air barriers, custom metal flashings, seismic upgrades, building envelope testing), and complex hospitality renovations executed while facilities remain operational. Notable project portfolio entries include a 132-room Best Western Plus hotel renovation completed in under seven months, a 34-story Crown Plaza Hotel Seattle renovation covering 418 rooms across 29 floors on a five-month schedule, multiple 50,000–60,000 SF pre-engineered steel facilities for industrial and distribution customers (Walton Beverage, Johnstone Supply, Keirton, Cowden Gravel), and a 12-building/84-unit Festival Square building envelope restoration.

Credo Construction operates as a privately held Washington corporation with no disclosed institutional capital, funding rounds, or M&A history. Revenue is generated on a quote-based, per-project basis through direct engagement with property owners, developers, hospitality operators, HOAs, and homeowners across Whatcom County, Skagit County, and greater Seattle. The firm employs 11–50 staff, is led by President Todd Lapinsky, and reaches customers primarily through its website portfolio, project inquiry form, client testimonials, and industry association memberships (AGC Washington, CFMA, BIAWC, NHAB). A Built Green Washington partnership adds an environmental certification option for residential projects.
