The people behind the trucks

Meet the Farwest crew

Customer reviews of Farwest read like a roll call, because people remember who showed up. Here is that roll call, department by department, from the owner to the electrical apprentice. The story of how a one truck shop got here is on the about page.

Leadership

Burt Ross owns and runs the company. Nate and Tyler are the Comfort Advisors you meet first, at your kitchen table, before a crew is ever scheduled.

Install department

Jaime plans each project, Zack and Ryan lead the installs, and Luis and Wyatt set the equipment. They are the ones tearing out the old system and leaving the new one clean.

Ask for someone by name

If a neighbor told you to ask for Nate, or you want Payton back out for a follow up, say so when you call the office. We would rather send the person you already trust. Browse what the crew does on the services page, or contact the office at (509) 457-5346 to set up a visit.
