Home Remodeling in Lakewood, WA
Looking for a home remodel, kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel in Lakewood? We come to you — travel is handled in how we schedule, not added to your estimate. Substantial midcentury housing and lakefront property that most contractors overlook.
Lakewood has better midcentury stock than its reputation suggests.
Lakewood holds some good midcentury housing — well-proportioned 1950s and 60s homes on generous lots, plus lakefront and near-lakefront property around American Lake, Gravelly Lake and Steilacoom Lake that would cost several times as much thirty miles north.
The classic problem in these houses is the same one midcentury housing has everywhere: excellent bones, a compartmentalized floor plan, and finishes from an era that assumed a closed kitchen and one small bathroom per floor. Opening the main level and rebuilding the baths properly transforms them, and the structural question is usually answerable quickly in construction of that period.
Lakewood also has significant rental and investment property given the proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and turnover work has different priorities — durability, speed and cost per unit rather than bespoke finish. We do both and scope them differently.

Lakewood questions we get
Do you work in Lakewood?
Yes, throughout Lakewood including the lakes district, Oakbrook, Tillicum, Lake City and Springbrook. We come to you.
Is a 1960s Lakewood house worth remodeling?
Often it is one of the better values in the region. Good proportions, generous lots, sound framing, and the problems are layout and finish rather than structure.
Do you do rental turnover work?
Yes. Turnover has different priorities from an owner-occupied remodel — durability, speed and cost per unit rather than bespoke finish. We scope and price it as a different kind of project.
Can you open up a compartmentalized midcentury floor plan?
Usually. In construction of that era the load-bearing question is generally quick to answer, which keeps the design phase short and the estimate honest.
