The Great Wide Open has an excellent reputation building in San Juan County for the past six years, almost exclusively on Henry Island. My work there has been for a small community of friends and neighbors I’ve known most of my life, where honesty and professionalism is vital to my business. Recently moving to San Juan Island I'm now open to work other than on Henry. I specialize in unique builds including saunas, decks, outdoor furniture, and gardens constructed with locally reclaimed lumber, but am no stranger to new construction. I also remodel decks, roofs, and outbuildings, and enjoy building walking paths through beautiful forests. Interested to hear what you need built!
"I live in, and was primary owner / builder on a remodel addition to an old 1970’s A-frame on Henry Island near Roche Harbor. Brian was on time, focused eager to work and stay late if needed. He brought a huge amount to the table on this very tricky custom build. He did an awsome job in all respects. And was a pleasure to work with. He listened to what my vision was, offered suggestions for design, and was critical in executing the project. I trust Brian to get the job done right no matter how “custom” or complicated a design or location."

Attention to customer care missing... Rule #1: NEVER argue with customer / client, specially when you the contractor are wrong! Would not process through Angi Pay, because they are afraid of fraud?

We are a new local business with 30 years of experience in the industry. We can act as General contractors on a large project or take on smaller sub-contracts. Depending on the job we bill for time and materials, or a lump sum total with 40%-50% due at signing of the contract
"Paul Burlingame (and team) constructed a basement garage and attached ADU on the side of our 100 year old house - no small feat at all. Initially we were a little guarded because of all the horror stories you hear about shiesty contractors, but our experience with Paul has been nothing but positive throughout the entire build. He has a keen attention to detail and values good quality work. For example, there were a couple crucial details that were not described by our engineer, and Paul worked hard to determine the right course of action. In the end, what he came up with was better than we could have imagined. Not only is he personable and a knowledgeable contractor, he has an eye for aesthetic which was a delight as we discussed design options, from trim details to pergola hardware. In the end, Paul and his team built us a stunning 800 sf 2 story ADU and 400 sf basement garage, that feels spacious and contemporary while beautifully tying together with the exterior of our existing 1920s Tudor Revival home. I can not recommend Burlingame Contracting enough! Thank you Paul!!"

While building a wine cellar requires a significant investment, it can increase your home's resale value over time. Although you might not see an immediate return, the long-term ROI benefits can be substantial. Because they're often built in areas that would otherwise be unused, wine caves can add to your home's resale value. Storing a bottle of wine in a controlled environment for five years can increase its value. Once you build the space, you can strategically buy an increasing number of vintages as an investment that pays off down the road.
A wine cellar doesn't need to be underground; you can build it in any suitable area of your home. An above-ground cellar offers easy access and integration with your living spaces, while an underground cellar provides stable climate conditions and energy efficiency. Proper insulation and climate control ensure your wine maintains optimal conditions in any location.
Yes, wine cellars need ventilation to ensure optimal air circulation and precise climate control. A proper system regulates temperature and humidity, preserving your wine collection's quality. Good ventilation prevents air stagnation and moisture buildup, keeping your wine in ideal conditions. Without adequate airflow, mold and mildew can develop, potentially damaging labels and corks. Ventilation systems also help eliminate hot spots that could prematurely age your wines.
Yes, any home can have a wine cellar installed if the space is properly prepared. A dedicated area with a solid foundation, proper insulation, and reliable climate control—whether in a basement, walk-in closet, or converted crawl space—can support a wine cellar. This flexibility allows you to enjoy optimal wine storage in any type of home.
