Our People
Crew leaders on any Washa Construction, Inc. project have a minimum of 20 years of remodeling experience. From owner Steve Washa to our lead carpenters, you have remodeling knowledge on top of remodeling knowledge.
Steve Washa
Owner
“The impossible only takes longer.” This is the one promise that Steve has always felt comfortable putting behind his company. Steve has been in construction since he was at the young age of 14 and he is doing the one thing that he knows best and loves to do. 40 years in construction has taught him a thing or two, but there is one thing that experience can’t bring you, friends. Steve always strives for customers that are friends. Steve has one decree of advice; his one key to success for everybody he meets. “Always be honest, with you self and with others.” But when it’s all said and done all, all Steve truly cares about is that when you see your finished product, whether it is a new kitchen, bathroom, basement, etc., you say only one simple word, a word that so many of his customers have said before….. Wow.
