Founded by a Northwest Builder

Kristian Nunnelee, the owner of Northwest Contour, is a Seattle native who is a third-generation carpenter. Working side-by-side with his father, he learned how to operate a skill-saw and swing a hammer at the age of ten. His love for construction continued as he worked as a carpenter throughout college and young adulthood. After receiving his BA from the University of Montana he came back home, to Seattle, where he honed his skills in carpentry and craftsmanship. In 2007 he started Northwest Contour Building Company. After several years of focusing on residential and small commercial remodels he found his niche in new construction and real estate investment, pouring his passion for artistry into unique custom homes. Kristian lives in Ballard area with his wife and three daughters.
