A whole-home remodel in Federal Way lives or dies on how well you read the existing house. The city filled in through the 1970s and 80s, so we're usually working with split-entries, ranches, and tri-levels — homes with load-bearing walls and dated systems that reward opening things up carefully. Twin Lakes and Mirror Lake bring larger lots with room to reconfigure or add on, while the newer subdivisions around Redondo and West Campus more often call for multi-room refreshes than structural change.
Running the job from Kent keeps your Federal Way project close — 15–20 minutes down I-5 or Highway 99 — so a delayed delivery or a same-day inspection fix doesn't idle the whole crew waiting on someone from Seattle. We manage Auburn home remodels on the same footing, and whole-home scopes here often fold in a Federal Way kitchen remodel and a bathroom remodel under one contract.

A home remodel is far more than any single trade — it takes careful sequencing, structural know-how, and one party accountable for the entire timeline. That's us. Here's what a Federal Way home remodel typically covers, though scope swings widely from project to 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 Federal Way permits for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work and schedule every inspection.
A few quick questions — about 30 seconds.

Federal Way Permits & Considerations
For nearly every home remodel beyond cosmetic paint and flooring, the City of Federal Way requires a building permit — that covers structural changes, additions, window enlargements, electrical or plumbing alterations, and most layout reconfigurations. Bigger projects also bring plan review, energy code compliance, and, in some cases, separate mechanical permits.
We take out every required permit through the Federal Way Permit Center, shepherd the plan review, and coordinate inspections at each phase — foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final — with full documentation kept in your project file. Unpermitted remodel work is a real liability when you sell, and appraisers and inspectors do catch it.
Honest Pricing
Home remodel pricing swings far more than kitchen or bath work, since scope runs from a single room to a full addition. Federal Way sits mid-range in the market, and the ranges 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 driven by scope — these are honest ranges for the project sizes we build most often in Federal Way. Complex additions, foundation work, or premium finish packages can push well past these figures. Either way, you get a line-item estimate with allowances broken out clearly.
