Home Remodeling in Snohomish, WA
Looking for a home remodel, kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel in Snohomish? We come to you — travel is handled in how we schedule, not added to your estimate. One of the best collections of Victorian and early-1900s housing in the region — and it needs a contractor who knows the difference between restoring and replacing.
In Snohomish, knowing what to keep is most of the job.
The historic district in Snohomish holds housing that simply does not exist in most of the Puget Sound — Victorians and early-1900s homes with original millwork, tall windows, and detail that was hand-run rather than ordered. Some of it has been maintained beautifully. A lot of it has been through three or four rounds of updating, each of which removed a little more than it needed to.
The single most important skill on a house like this is restraint. Knowing which trim can be matched and which has to be replicated, when a floor should be refinished rather than replaced, and how to open a space without erasing the thing that made you buy it. Matching original profiles is millwork, not stock material — it is slower and it prices differently, and it is usually worth it.
Beyond the historic core, Snohomish has plenty of newer and rural property where the work is more conventional. Both are welcome; they are just different projects and we scope them differently.

Snohomish questions we get
Do you work in Snohomish?
Yes, in the historic downtown and throughout the surrounding area including Pilchuck, Cathcart, Three Lakes, Machias and Clearview. We come to you.
Can you match original trim and millwork?
Often, yes. Matching an original profile means having it run rather than buying stock, which is slower and prices differently from standard trim. We separate it in the estimate so you can decide where it earns its cost.
What's behind the walls in a Victorian?
Frequently knob-and-tube wiring, plaster over lath, framing that is not dimensionally standard, and plumbing that was added long after the house was built. None of it is a disaster; all of it is a reason the estimate should be written after we look.
Should I restore or replace original windows?
It depends on condition and on what you want from the house. Original windows can often be restored and weatherstripped effectively. We will give you an honest read rather than defaulting to replacement, which is the more profitable answer and not always the right one.
