Hear from Our Customers
Your morning coffee routine becomes something you look forward to when you can watch the sunrise over the water from your new island. No more cramped spaces where guests pile up in doorways during parties.
Instead, you get flowing, open layouts where conversation happens naturally. Custom storage that actually makes sense for how you live. Countertops that can handle everything from casual breakfasts to holiday prep.
The kind of kitchen where your family gravitates without being asked. Where cooking feels less like work and more like the heart of your home.
Sea Renovation started in 2023 with a simple focus: kitchens, bathrooms, and decks. That’s it. When you’re not trying to be everything to everyone, you get really good at what matters most.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s not optional in this business. We offer military and first responder discounts because we believe in supporting the people who serve our communities.
What sets us apart isn’t flashy marketing or the cheapest bid. It’s finishing what we start, using quality materials, and backing our work with solid warranties. In lakehouse communities across Washington, that reliability matters more than anything else.
First, we come look at your space. Not to give you a quick estimate, but to understand how you actually use your kitchen. Where do people gather? What drives you crazy about the current layout? How can we maximize those lake views?
Then comes the real planning. Layout options that make sense for entertaining. Storage solutions that work with your cooking style. Materials that can handle lakehouse living without constant maintenance.
During construction, we handle permits, inspections, and all the details you don’t want to think about. We protect your home, clean up daily, and keep you updated on progress. No surprises, no abandoned projects, no excuses.
When we’re done, you get a walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards and yours. Then comes the warranty paperwork and contact info for any questions down the road.

Custom cabinetry designed for your specific space and storage needs. Not stock cabinets forced to fit, but built-to-measure solutions with soft-close hinges and full-extension drawers.
Countertops that make sense for lakehouse living. Quartz that won’t stain when you’re prepping for weekend guests. Granite that can handle hot pans without worry. Materials chosen for durability, not just looks.
Smart layout changes that take advantage of natural light and lake views. Islands positioned so guests can see the water while you cook. Windows placed to frame the best views from your work areas.
In lakehouse residences across Washington, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t. Finishes that hold up to humidity. Storage solutions for seasonal entertaining. Lighting that works whether you’re cooking at dawn or hosting evening dinners.
Kitchen renovation costs in lakehouse residences typically range from $25,000 for basic updates to $75,000+ for complete high-end remodels. The biggest factors are cabinet quality, countertop materials, appliance choices, and whether you’re changing the layout.
Labor costs in Washington are higher than national averages, but so is the return on investment. A well-done kitchen renovation typically returns 70-80% of the investment in increased home value, sometimes more in desirable lakehouse communities.
We provide detailed estimates after seeing your space because every kitchen is different. Factors like existing plumbing locations, electrical capacity, and structural considerations all impact the final cost.
Most kitchen renovations require permits, especially if you’re moving walls, updating electrical, or changing plumbing. Even cabinet replacement often requires permits in Washington state.
Sea Renovation handles all permit applications and inspections as part of our service because it protects you legally and ensures the work meets current building codes. This is especially important in lakehouse areas where environmental and structural regulations can be more complex.
Trying to skip permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell or if something goes wrong. Proper permits also ensure your homeowner’s insurance stays valid if there’s ever a claim related to the remodeling work.
Most kitchen remodels in lakehouse residences take 6-12 weeks, but larger projects with structural changes may last longer. The timeline depends on the scope of work, material availability, and weather conditions that can affect deliveries.
Projects that only involve cabinet replacement and countertops typically finish faster than full renovations requiring electrical, plumbing, or layout changes. Custom cabinetry adds time but delivers better results than trying to force stock cabinets into awkward spaces.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Weather delays happen, especially during Washington winters, but we plan for these challenges and communicate any changes immediately.
Open-concept layouts with large islands work best for lakehouse entertaining because they create natural gathering spaces while maximizing lake views. The island becomes the focal point where guests can sit and visit while you cook.
Positioning the sink or prep area to face the main living space lets you stay connected to conversations. Windows strategically placed above work areas frame lake views and bring in natural light throughout the day.
L-shaped and galley layouts can work too, but they need careful planning to avoid creating bottlenecks during parties. The key is ensuring smooth traffic flow between the kitchen and outdoor entertaining areas like decks or patios.
Quartz countertops perform exceptionally well in lakehouse kitchens because they’re non-porous and won’t stain or harbor bacteria, even with frequent entertaining. They also don’t require sealing like natural stone.
For cabinetry, moisture-resistant woods like maple or oak with proper finishes handle humidity better than particle board or MDF. Soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides are essential because they last longer in fluctuating humidity conditions.
Flooring choices matter too. Luxury vinyl plank or tile floors handle temperature changes and moisture better than hardwood, especially near sliding doors to outdoor spaces. The key is choosing materials that look great but don’t require constant maintenance.
Absolutely. Many lakehouse owners use their properties seasonally, and Sea Renovation can schedule projects during off-season periods when you’re not there regularly. This actually works better for major renovations because there’s less disruption to your routine.
Winter projects in lakehouse residences often proceed faster because there are fewer scheduling conflicts and material deliveries aren’t competing with peak construction season. We can also work around specific dates when you need the kitchen functional for holidays or family gatherings.
We coordinate timing with your schedule and communicate progress regularly, even when you’re not on-site. Photos and video updates keep you informed, and we ensure the space is secure and weather-protected throughout the project.
