Owner-operated whole-home and multi-room remodels for Auburn homeowners — from quick refreshes to full gut renovations across Lea Hill, Lakeland Hills, West Hill, and downtown Auburn. Licensed, insured, and 12–15 minutes from our Kent location.
Auburn's housing stock is what shapes every remodel decision here. The mid-century ranches and split-levels around downtown and North Auburn were built between the 1950s and the 1970s — that usually means undersized 1970s plumbing, original 2-wire electrical to the kitchen, and load-bearing walls that limit easy "open concept" knockdowns. The newer subdivisions in Lakeland Hills and Lea Hill are typically 1990s–2000s builds with engineered floor trusses and modern panel service, where the bigger upside is replacing builder-grade finishes.
We're based in Kent, about a 12–15 minute drive up Highway 167 or down West Valley Highway, so site visits, material drops, and inspection coordination across Auburn are part of our normal day. That proximity matters — when materials show up damaged or an inspector needs a same-day correction, we are not driving in from Seattle.
Talk to Us About Your ProjectWhat's Included
Home remodels are bigger than any single trade — they require sequencing, structural awareness, and one person who owns the whole timeline. That person is us. Below is what's typically included in a Auburn home remodel; scope varies dramatically by project.
Gut renovations, multi-room refreshes, and "down to the studs" projects. Sequenced room-by-room when you need to live in the home during 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 pull City of Auburn permits for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work and schedule every inspection.
Auburn Permits & Considerations
The City of Auburn requires a building permit for virtually all home remodels beyond cosmetic paint and flooring. That includes structural changes, additions, window enlargements, electrical or plumbing alterations, and most layout reconfigurations. Larger projects also trigger plan review, energy code compliance, and sometimes mechanical permits.
We pull every required permit through the Auburn Permit Center, manage plan review, coordinate inspections at each phase (foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, final), and keep complete documentation in your project file. Unpermitted home remodel work is a serious resale liability — appraisers and inspectors catch it.
Honest Pricing
Home remodel pricing varies far more than kitchen or bath work — scope ranges from a single room to a full addition. Auburn sits in the mid-range of the market. Below are typical ranges for the three common scopes we build.
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 Auburn. 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.
