Why Hiring a Local Small Builder Makes All the Difference

Pride in Quality and Reputation

Aug 15, 2025

At 9Point9 Construction, we know that building a home isn’t just about materials and plans—it’s about trust, care, and bringing your vision to life. As a small, local builder on Bainbridge Island, we put our heart into every project because each home we build is a reflection of our reputation and our love for this community.

For us, every project is personal. We don’t measure success by the number of homes we complete each year, but by the quality of the work and the satisfaction of the families we build for. Our reputation in this community is everything, and that’s why we put extra care into every detail of your home. Choosing us means choosing a builder who is as invested in your project as you are—and who will still be here in the community long after the last nail is in place..

Personalized Attention and Communication

When you work with us, you’re not passed off to a series of departments or managers. You deal directly with the people actually building your home—our team. That means quick answers to your questions, honest conversations about your options, and the confidence of knowing your ideas are heard and valued. We’re here to walk you through the entire process, step by step, so your build feels exciting, not overwhelming.

Local Knowledge That Matters


Because we live and build right here on Bainbridge Island, we understand the local building codes, the permitting process, and even the unique climate challenges that affect construction in our area. More than that, we know what makes a Bainbridge home feel at home—whether it’s designing for natural light, working with views of the water, or creating spaces that fit the lifestyle of this island. That local knowledge helps us avoid delays, make smarter design choices, and create homes that truly belong here.

The information we’ve provided here is only a fraction of what you need to know to start your design journey well-prepared.
