Kitchen renovations typically take 3-6 weeks depending on the scope, while bathroom projects usually run 2-4 weeks. Deck construction varies based on size and complexity but generally takes 1-3 weeks. These timelines assume normal permit processing and no major structural surprises. We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Seattle’s permitting process can add time, which is why we handle all permit applications early in the process and factor potential delays into our initial timeline estimates.

Yes, we handle all permit applications for Seattle, King County, Snohomish, and Pierce County projects. This includes pulling the necessary permits, scheduling inspections, and ensuring all work meets current building codes. Permit requirements vary by location and project scope, so we evaluate each job individually. Having permits pulled properly protects your investment and ensures the work adds value to your home. We factor permit costs and timelines into every project estimate so there are no surprises later in the process.

We focus specifically on kitchens, bathrooms, and decks rather than trying to be everything to everyone. This specialization means we understand these spaces thoroughly and know what works best in Seattle’s climate. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured, which isn’t always the case with every contractor. Our crews are reliable and communicate regularly throughout projects. We also offer military and first responder discounts because we believe in supporting those who serve our community. Most importantly, we stand behind our work with solid warranties and actually show up when we say we will.

We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and permits so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Before starting any work, we discuss potential issues that could affect pricing and include contingency planning in our estimates. If we encounter unexpected problems during construction, we stop work and discuss options before proceeding. Our goal is to deliver projects on budget, but we believe in transparency when issues arise. We’ve found that thorough upfront planning and honest communication prevent most budget surprises that frustrate homeowners with other contractors.

We provide comprehensive warranties on all our construction work, with specific terms depending on the type of project and materials used. Kitchen and bathroom renovations typically include warranty coverage on workmanship and installation, while deck construction includes protection against structural issues and material defects. We use quality materials that come with manufacturer warranties, and we honor those as well. If something isn’t right, we come back and fix it properly. Our warranty isn’t just a piece of paper – it’s our commitment to standing behind the work we do for Seattle area homeowners.

Absolutely. Many Seattle homes were built decades ago and present unique challenges like outdated electrical, plumbing modifications, or structural quirks. We’re experienced with older home renovations and know how to work within existing constraints while bringing spaces up to current standards. This often requires creative solutions and sometimes affects project timelines, which we discuss upfront. We’re honest about what we find during the assessment phase so you can make informed decisions. Our experience with Seattle’s older housing stock means we rarely encounter surprises we haven’t seen before.
