Many of the older houses still have most of their original finishes, and owners usually want several rooms done in one go: two or three rooms together, a lower level finished, new floors through the house. We plan those as one job with one schedule.
Common Lynnwood jobs
Kitchens and bathrooms
often in the same project so the trades and permits are shared. See kitchen remodels from counters to layouts and bathroom remodels, step by step.
Close by in Bothell, see fiberglass tub replacements and refacing and new counters. For siding and paint, see Bothell siding and paint prep.
Split-levels and ramblers
Lynnwood split-levels put the main living floor up half a flight, with a family room and often a bedroom and laundry below. The upper floor is usually closed in, and the lower level is often paneled with low lighting. The projects that change these houses most:
- Opening the main floor between the kitchen and living room, with a beam where the wall carries load.
- Updating the stair railing, which is usually the first thing you see when you walk in.
- Taking the lower level from paneling to insulated, finished drywall with good lighting and new flooring.
- Replacing original windows so the lower level gets more daylight.

Doing several rooms at once
Because a house only has so many water lines and circuits, planning several rooms together lets us size the plumbing and electrical updates once instead of reopening walls later. The trades come out once, the permits are filed together, and you live through one project instead of three.
Condos and townhomes
Condo and townhome projects near Alderwood and the light rail station run on HOA rules: approval first, work hours, protection of common areas and booked water shut-offs. We handle the coordination with your manager.
Windows and comfort
Many Lynnwood houses still have their original aluminum or early vinyl windows. Replacing them, with proper flashing and new trim, makes the house quieter and more comfortable, and it's best done before interior paint, so it often goes first in a whole-house plan. In split-levels, larger windows on the lower level make the biggest difference in how that floor feels.
Houses close to the busier corridors, like Highway 99 and 196th Street, also benefit from better windows and insulation for sound. A quieter bedroom is one of the improvements owners notice first.
City of Lynnwood or Snohomish County?
Lots of homes with a Lynnwood mailing address, around Martha Lake and Alderwood Manor for example, are in unincorporated Snohomish County. Inside city limits, permits come from Lynnwood's Development and Business Services. Outside them, from Snohomish County Planning and Development Services. We check your parcel before we file.

Questions, answered
Can you do several rooms in one project?
Yes, and it's often cheaper than separate jobs because the trades and permits are shared. We sequence the work so you always have one working bathroom if you have two.
Do you do smaller home improvement jobs in Lynnwood?
We take on single-room projects as well as larger remodels.
My address is Lynnwood but I'm near Martha Lake. Who handles permits?
Probably Snohomish County Planning and Development Services, since much of that area is unincorporated. We confirm by parcel.
Can you get rid of the paneling in our lower level?
Yes. We remove it, check the walls behind it, then insulate where needed, hang and finish drywall, and add lighting and flooring.
Should windows come before or after the interior work?
Before. New windows and their trim go in first so paint and finishes aren't damaged, and in a split-level, larger lower-level windows usually make the biggest difference.
