About Silver Peak Design Build
Built for Major Residential Projects.
Silver Peak Design Build is a North Seattle design-build contractor specializing in whole-house builds and rebuilds, additions, DADUs, ADUs, basement remodels, and select kitchen and bathroom projects.
Our Story
Built for Bigger Projects.
Silver Peak Design Build is built around one accountable team connecting planning, design, permits, construction, and communication. The goal is a clearer path from the first project conversation through the finished build.
Founder Craig Mauer brings more than 20 years of hands-on construction experience. That field background shapes the way Silver Peak plans projects, communicates with homeowners, and makes practical decisions before and during construction.
Today, Silver Peak leads with whole-house builds and major rebuilds, followed by additions, DADUs, ADUs, and basement remodels. Kitchens and bathrooms remain part of the work, but they are considered after the larger project types and when the scope, schedule, location, and overall fit make sense.
Why Silver Peak
What Homeowners Value.
Homeowners choose Silver Peak for practical planning, clear communication, extensive construction experience, and a project process that stays connected from planning through the build.
Practical Planning
We look at the real property conditions, project goals, budget direction, and construction needs before the work moves too far.
Focused Service Area
We concentrate on North Seattle and select Eastside projects north of I-90 so site visits, communication, and project oversight remain practical.
Quality Craft
Our work is built around durable materials, clean details, and lasting value for the people living in the home.
Where We Focus
Projects We Build.
Silver Peak presents its work from biggest to smaller projects: whole-house builds and additions first, then DADUs, ADUs, and basements, followed by kitchens, bathrooms, and select specialty work.
Whole-House Builds & Rebuilds
Large residential projects that may include major structural work, full-property renovation, or rebuilding an existing home into a new residence.
Additions
Attached expansions that add meaningful living space while connecting the new construction to the existing home.
DADUs & ADUs
Detached and attached living spaces planned around site conditions, access, privacy, utilities, zoning, and permit requirements.
Basement Remodels
Substantial lower-level renovations that can create finished living areas, bedrooms, storage, built-ins, or additional dwelling space.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Select kitchen and bathroom remodels when the project scope, schedule, location, and overall fit align with the team.
Porches, Exteriors & Restoration
Selected exterior improvements, porch work, damage restoration, and detail-focused construction that complements larger residential projects.
How We Work
Project Fit Comes First.
A technical site assessment is not the first step for every inquiry. We first review the location, project type, scope, budget direction, and working fit. Qualified projects then move to an in-person technical site assessment.
- Project Review & Fit CallWe review your location, goals, project type, scope, budget range, timeline, and whether the project is a good working fit.
- Technical Site AssessmentQualified projects move to an in-person review of existing conditions, access, structure, utilities, constraints, and feasibility.
- Design & PermitsWe connect layout decisions, materials, scope, permit needs, scheduling, and build strategy before construction begins.
- ConstructionWe manage the build with coordinated communication, quality craftsmanship, and attention to the agreed scope.
Start Your Project
Start With a Project Review.
Tell us your project location, project type, scope, and budget direction. If the project fits our service area and the work we are best set up to do, we will schedule the next conversation and determine whether a technical site assessment makes sense.
Meet the Owner
Meet Craig Mauer.
Craig Mauer brings more than 20 years of construction experience to whole-house builds, additions, DADUs, ADUs, basements, kitchens, bathrooms, and restoration work. His approach is shaped by field knowledge, practical planning, and respect for the homeowner’s investment.
Silver Peak Design Build is built around one accountable team connecting planning, design, permits, construction, and communication so homeowners have a clearer path through larger residential projects.
Craig’s priority is substantial residential work first: whole-house builds and rebuilds, additions, DADUs, ADUs, and basements. Silver Peak also takes select kitchen and bathroom projects when the scope, schedule, location, and fit are right.
His approach is direct, practical, and detail focused. The goal is to understand the project clearly before construction begins and then build it with steady communication and quality craftsmanship.
Plan With Confidence
Talk With the Builder.
Have a whole-house build, addition, DADU, ADU, basement, kitchen, or bathroom project in mind? Start by sharing the location, scope, budget direction, and goals so we can first determine whether the project is a fit.
Our Process
Project Fit Comes First.
Silver Peak does not schedule a technical site assessment for every inquiry. We first review location, project type, scope, budget direction, and working fit. Qualified projects then move into site assessment, planning, and construction.
01
Project Review & Fit Call
We start with your location, goals, project type, scope, budget range, timeline, and overall working fit. One or more calls may happen before an in-person visit is scheduled.
02
Technical Site Assessment
Qualified projects move to an in-person review of existing conditions, access, structural limits, utilities, site constraints, and overall feasibility.
03
Design & Permits
We connect layout direction, materials, finishes, scope, permit requirements, scheduling, and build strategy so the project is better prepared before construction.
04
Construction
Once scope and planning are defined, construction moves ahead with coordinated communication, quality craftsmanship, and attention to the agreed project plan.
What Is Included
Qualification Before the Site Visit.
Every project starts by confirming that Silver Peak is a good fit for the homeowner and that the project is a good fit for Silver Peak.
- Project type, location, and scope review
- Budget range and working-fit discussion
- One or more fit calls when needed
- Technical site assessment for qualified projects
- Design, permits, construction communication, and sequencing
Why It Matters
Clarity Before Commitment.
Reviewing location, scope, budget, and fit before an in-person site assessment helps both the homeowner and the Silver Peak team use their time well and move forward with clearer expectations.
This process is designed first for whole-house builds and rebuilds, additions, DADUs, ADUs, and basement remodels, with select kitchen and bathroom projects considered when the overall fit is right.

Let’s Talk About Your Project.
If you are planning a project in North Seattle or the Eastside north of I-90, start by sharing the project location, scope, and budget direction so we can determine the right next step.
Core Service Area
North Seattle & Eastside, North of I-90.
Silver Peak focuses on North Seattle and Eastside communities north of I-90. Within that broader area, we prefer northern routes and communities where site visits, construction oversight, and communication can stay practical.
Primary Coverage
North Seattle and the Northern Eastside.
Our normal market is north of I-90, with our main focus on North Seattle and northern Eastside communities. When possible, we prefer projects north of SR 520 so travel, site visits, and construction oversight stay practical.
Our primary northern focus includes Bothell, Mill Creek, and Woodinville, along with North Seattle. We also consider select projects in Redmond and Kirkland when the location, scope, budget, timing, and working fit make sense.
Outside our normal service area: Projects south of I-90 are generally outside Silver Peak’s coverage area.
