Blackwood Homes started with a friendship and a shared vision.

​

Lifelong friends Aaron Mounsey and Trevor Johnson were running their own painting and contracting companies when they realized they worked better together than apart. In 2014, they joined forces and launched Blackwood out of a small Seattle-area warehouse. That first year, they delivered four homes with just six employees. Today, we build closer to 50 homes annually, each one crafted with intention, care, and the belief that the best homes are the ones built together.

​

From the beginning, our goal has been simple: build homes that feel good to live in. That means creating spaces that are well-designed, thoughtfully built, and rooted in community. It means building with skill, being hands-on, and staying closely connected to every part of the process.

​

We take inspiration from the Pacific Northwest, its landscapes, its weather, and its people. You’ll see it in the architecture of our homes and the materials we use. But what matters most isn’t just how a home looks. It’s how it feels. We believe a home should create connection: to yourself, to your people, to your neighborhood, and to the place you call home.

​

At Blackwood, we’re not here to be the biggest. We’re here to be the best and to raise the bar for what a home can be. We move with purpose, adapt quickly, and bring everything we’ve got to each project.

​

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. Because at the end of the day, we’re not just building houses. We’re building something that lasts. Together.​
