Forthright Contracting is a Point Roberts–based builder specializing in custom homes, remodels, and commercial projects. Founders Nate Peterson and Philip Seel personally oversee each project from initial concept through completion, supported by a skilled team of trusted trades and specialists. The result is a streamlined process defined by clear communication, meticulous craftsmanship, and uncompromising attention to detail.

Forthright Contracting builds exclusively in Point Roberts, a community we know well and are deeply committed to. With extensive experience in the local coastal environment, we understand the permitting process and the unique demands of building near the Salish Sea—from salt air exposure to seasonal conditions that influence materials and timelines. Because our work is concentrated here, clients benefit from consistent, long-term availability. Leadership remains directly involved before, during, and well beyond project completion, with regular site presence and ongoing communication. This approach reflects a commitment to accountability, thoughtful execution, and getting every detail right the first time. At Forthright, every project contributes to a reputation built within the Point Roberts community—through lasting relationships, trusted performance, and quality that endures.
