Sockeye Homes

What Sockeye Homes does

Sockeye Homes (legally Sockeye Construction Corp.) is a privately held residential design-build construction company founded in 2007 by Tod Sakai and headquartered in Kent, Washington. The company designs and builds custom homes, additions, remodels, ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), and DADUs (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units) throughout Western Washington (King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Thurston Counties) and select Eastern Washington areas, completing 60-70 projects per year with signed backlog extending into 2025.

The company's product portfolio spans four categories: (1) Custom Construction Services including fully customized homes, additions, and remodels with design-build methodology; (2) Fixed-Price Package Construction for kitchens ($50K and $80K tiers) and bathrooms ($30K and $60K tiers) with guaranteed 30-50 working-day completion in multiple design styles; (3) Pre-packaged DADU series (Alta, Breckenridge, Crystal, Deschutes, Emerald) priced from $218,000 to $368,000 covering feasibility through permitting and construction; and (4) Triple-S, an exclusive recurring handyman membership service for past clients. Supporting infrastructure includes a cloud-based project management system providing 24/7 client access and a Package Express Program (PEP) for fast-track pre-move-in renovations.

The business operates on a sales-led, direct-to-consumer model with revenue primarily from project-based contracts (one-time project fees) supplemented by the Triple-S recurring membership stream. Lead generation occurs through home shows (Seattle and Tacoma Home Shows), the company's Idea House model home, DADU/remodel showcase events, Houzz portfolio presence, and client referrals. Sockeye Homes leverages a SkyDADU financing partnership embedded in the DADU sales motion. The firm has accumulated 179 industry awards with 35 at the national level, including the Chrysalis Decade of Excellence Award (one of only 7 nationwide recipients) and the 2017 Washington State Remodeler of the Year. Founder Tod Sakai maintains NAHB Certified Builder credentials and was instrumental in passing HB-1337 legislation expanding the ADU/DADU market in Washington State.
