Whole-Home Remodels in Seattle
Seattle’s housing stock is beautiful and old. A whole-home remodel is your chance to fix what the last 80 years left behind — layout, envelope, structure and systems — in one coordinated project.
Built for Seattle’s older homes
Most Seattle homes are pre-1960 Craftsman, bungalow or box houses with knob-and-tube wiring, under-insulated walls and original single-pane windows. A whole-home remodel lets us correct all of it at once — rewire, re-plumb, insulate to current energy code, and open dated floor plans — while preserving the character that makes your home worth keeping.
Moisture & seismic, handled together
A down-to-studs remodel is the right moment to add the two upgrades Seattle homes most need: a proper moisture-managed building envelope (flashing, drainage, rainscreen, ventilation) and a seismic retrofit (foundation bolting and cripple-wall bracing). Doing them during the remodel costs a fraction of doing them later.
One team, one fixed scope
We design, permit and build under one roof, so there’s no finger-pointing between architect and contractor. You get a fixed-scope bid before work starts and weekly updates throughout — not a stream of change-orders.
Typical Seattle pricing
| Option | Typical Seattle range |
|---|---|
| Partial / single-floor remodel | from $120,000 |
| Full down-to-studs remodel | $250,000 – $600,000+ |
| Add seismic + envelope upgrade | typically +$15k–$40k |
Prices in USD. Every project gets a written, fixed-scope estimate after a free in-home consultation.
Whole-Home Remodels — your questions
Can we live in the home during a whole-home remodel?
Sometimes, for phased projects — but most down-to-studs Seattle remodels are easier and faster with the home vacant. We’ll help you plan the timeline either way.
How long does a whole-home remodel take in Seattle?
Most run 5–10 months including SDCI permitting, depending on scope and structural work. We give a realistic schedule with your fixed bid.
Do you preserve the original character?
Yes — we specialize in keeping the Craftsman details (trim, built-ins, proportions) while modernizing everything behind the walls.
