Moving to Kitsap county Washington - farm contractors?

[PonyRiderMom]

I feel like there used to be some people here who lived in Kitsap County. We’re hoping to move out next year. We already have the property, but it needs some work before we get there. At the very least we need perimeter fencing, and I’d also like a dry lot / arena and cross-fencing. The barn also needs remodelling.

Does anyone have a company or person they’d personally recommend to do any or all of this work?

Thank you!

PS I’m also looking for vet and farrier recommendations.

Since noone with IRL knowledge has posted, I’d suggest visiting farms in the area & ask for referrals. Both private & boarding/working places
A local feedstore might know a contractor or vet, farrier.

My barn building company sent a salesman with a prospective customer (after asking me) & I was glad to let them see my place.
Even today, I’d be happy to recommend them.

For fencing, I went with a big local company that did a good job - for $$$.
But, when I called for repairs some 19yrs later, I got brushed off with “too busy”.
So they won’t get a referral from me now.
After sweating some bullets, I found a guy with his own small company who did a great job, fir a good price.
I’ve already passed his name along.

Reach out to Bainbridge Island Saddle Club. They would have some reliable and good contacts.

I also live in Kitsap County! Can’t help on builders as my husband is a contractor he’s done all our remodeling himself.

But I did hire someone to do the arena. Can also recommend my vet and happy to chat about anything else you’re looking for

Check at the local farm supply stores like Wilco or TSC that are up there. They usually have free advertising boards that have names on them, and staff can probably help too as a lot of them are farm owners and know people.
