Owner-operated whole-home and multi-room remodels for Renton homeowners — from quick refreshes to full gut renovations across the Highlands, Kennydale, Talbot Hill, and downtown Renton. Licensed, insured, and 15–20 minutes north on Highway 167.
Renton's housing stock is what shapes every remodel decision here. Renton has some of the oldest housing stock in South King County. The Renton Highlands and Earlington areas are full of original Craftsman bungalows and 1940s–50s post-war homes — beautiful bones but often with knob-and-tube wiring still hiding behind walls, cast-iron drain stacks, and lath-and-plaster surfaces that need careful demo. Kennydale and Talbot Hill mix mid-century homes with newer infill construction.
Our Kent base is about a 15–20 minute drive north on Highway 167, putting Renton site visits and material runs squarely in our daily route. 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 Renton 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 Renton permits for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work and schedule every inspection.
Renton Permits & Considerations
The City of Renton 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 Renton 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. Renton sits in the upper-mid range of the market. Below are typical ranges for the three common scopes we build.
One-room remodel, flooring, paint, trim, door/window updates, light electrical work.
Multiple rooms, new flooring, kitchen or bath included, new doors/windows, electrical and plumbing updates.
Major layout changes, structural work, additions, whole-home gut renovations, full systems overhaul.
Home remodels are scope-driven — these are honest ranges for the project sizes we most commonly build in Renton. 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.
