A whole-home remodel lives or dies on what the house is hiding, and Kent's housing stock is anything but uniform. In the West Hill and Panther Lake homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s, opening up a floor plan often means confronting galvanized supply lines, a 60-amp panel that can't carry a modern load, and bearing walls sitting exactly where you want the space to flow. The East Hill subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s bring engineered trusses and current wiring, so those projects lean toward reworking layout and finally shedding the builder-grade finishes throughout.
We're based in Kent and run remodels across town every week — from single rooms to full kitchen and bathroom builds up to whole-home renovations — so we know how these houses behave and how the local inspectors work through a multi-phase project. When a beam shows up wrong or an inspector needs a same-day correction, we're minutes away, not driving in from Seattle.

A home remodel is bigger than any single trade — it takes tight sequencing, structural know-how, and one person accountable for the whole timeline. That's us. Here's what a Kent home remodel can cover; scope varies dramatically from project to project.
Gut renovations, multi-room refreshes, and down-to-the-studs projects, sequenced room-by-room so you can keep living in the house while we work.
Square-footage additions including primary suites, bonus rooms, mudrooms, and bump-outs. Foundation, framing, roof, and finish work all in-house.
Wall removal, structural openings, and footprint reconfiguration. We work with structural engineers to spec engineered beams when needed.
Hardwood, engineered hardwood, LVP, tile, and refinishing existing hardwoods. Multi-room flooring projects coordinated with furniture move-out.
Interior and exterior paint, custom trim and millwork, baseboard, casing, crown, and new interior or exterior doors.
New window installation, retrofit replacements, larger-opening upgrades, and trim/sill work that matches existing.
Engineered beams, post replacement, foundation repair, and load-path corrections under permit and inspection.
Kitchen + primary bath + flooring + paint in one coordinated project — sequenced so subs do not step on each other.
We file City of Kent permits for the structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work and manage every inspection through to sign-off.
A few quick questions — about 30 seconds.

Permitting Through the City of Kent
Beyond cosmetic paint and flooring, the City of Kent requires a building permit for nearly every home remodel. Structural changes, additions, window enlargements, electrical and plumbing alterations, and most layout reconfigurations all qualify, and bigger projects also trigger plan review, energy-code compliance, and sometimes separate mechanical permits.
We file everything through the Kent Permit Center, shepherd the plan review, and coordinate inspections at each phase — foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final — with complete documentation kept in your project file. Unpermitted home-remodel work is a serious resale liability; appraisers and buyers' inspectors catch it. Weighing a project just up SR 167 in Renton instead? Our Renton home remodeling page covers that city's process.
Honest Pricing
Home-remodel pricing swings far wider than kitchen or bath work — scope runs from a single room to a full addition. Kent sits mid-range for the market, and the tiers below cover the three scopes we build most often here.
One-room remodel, flooring throughout, paint and trim, door/window swaps, light electrical updates.
Multiple rooms updated, new flooring throughout, kitchen or bath included, new doors/windows, electrical and plumbing updates.
Layout reconfiguration, structural changes, full additions, whole-home gut renovations, complete systems updates.
Home remodels are scope-driven — these are honest ranges for the project sizes we most commonly build in Kent. Larger or complex additions, foundation work, or premium finish packages can move significantly above these numbers. We provide line-item estimates with allowances broken out clearly.
