Local context
Why Homeowners in Seattle Choose This Service
Remodels in Seattle usually start with the stair that is already there. With older craftsman homes with original stairs and split-level and midcentury homes common here, we plan layouts and materials that suit the existing architecture rather than forcing a one-size design.
Seattle's housing stock ranges from early 1900s Craftsman bungalows and Tudors to midcentury ramblers, split-levels, and newer townhomes.
We serve neighborhoods such as Ballard, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Wallingford, right here in Seattle.
