The Story Behind Asher Contracting
Built by experience, driven by values, and committed to serving homeowners the right way.
The Standards Behind Every Project
Asher Contracting is an owner operated residential contractor serving homeowners across Washington State. The business is led by Josh Asher, a contractor who believes in honest work, clear communication, and treating every home with respect. When you hire Asher Contracting, you work directly with the owner from estimate to final walkthrough.
The Path to Construction
Josh did not take a straight path into construction. He worked in restaurants as a teenager, fueled commercial aircraft, worked in private security, and moved into retail management. Those roles built strong work ethic, customer service skills, and leadership. Over time, he knew he wanted hands on work, problem solving, and direct impact helping homeowners.
Built on Family Trade Experience
Construction also runs in his family. Josh learned the trade from his father, a contractor with more than 25 years of experience. Asher Contracting continues that legacy with modern building methods, strong materials, and pride in doing the job right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will my project cost?
Every project is different, just like every house. We provide a detailed estimate after seeing the space, discussing your goals, and figuring out what’s realistic for your budget — We price projects fairly — not rock-bottom cheap, not “luxury for no reason” expensive.
Do you provide written estimates & Are they free?
Yes & Yes. You’ll get a clear, written estimate that explains Scope of work, timeline, payment schedule, warranty details, and change-order procedures. We want to be on the same page before work ever begins.
Do you require a deposit?
For larger projects we do. A deposit secures your spot on our schedule and allows us to order materials. Payment schedules are clearly outlined in the contract. If your project does not require a deposit we will make that clear in our initial estimate.
Can the price change once the project starts?
Only if the scope changes — for example, if you hire us to build you a new deck & decide mid-project that you also want a pergola and a new sliding glass door installed. These changes are discussed, written out, and approved before we move forward with the changes. In the event of unforeseen obstacles such as water damage, mold, compromised structure due to wood rot or termites, outdated plumbing or electrical etc. These are situations where it is always recommended to have funds set aside in order to best address them. We will always do our best to help you know what your options are in these scenarios.
