Q: How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Maple Valley or Kent, WA?
A cabinet-refresh kitchen with new countertops, backsplash, and paint usually runs $20,000–$35,000. A full cabinet replacement on the same footprint typically falls between $40,000–$70,000 depending on cabinet grade and countertop material. Layout changes — removing walls, moving plumbing, adding an island — add $10,000–$25,000 on top of that. We give itemized written estimates so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Q: How much does it cost to finish a basement?
A basic basement finish (framing, drywall, flooring, lighting, trim, no bathroom) usually runs $35,000–$60,000 for an 800–1,200 sq ft space. Adding a full bathroom adds $15,000–$25,000. Adding an egress window for a legal bedroom adds $4,000–$7,000. Sewage ejector pumps, if needed, run another $2,000–$3,500. We’ll walk through all of this with you on the estimate visit.
Q: Do you do shower remodels only, or just full bathrooms?
We do both. A standalone shower remodel — replacing tile, pan, glass, and fixtures while keeping the rest of the bathroom — is one of our most common smaller jobs. Usually $7,000–$14,000 depending on tile choice and whether we’re replacing the pan. We also do tub-to-shower conversions, which most homeowners want when an unused tub is taking up space.
Q: We’re in Kent (or Renton, Covington, Auburn, etc.), not Maple Valley. Do you really come out here?
Yes. Our shop is in Maple Valley, but most of our crews work somewhere in Kent, Renton, Covington, or Black Diamond on any given week. We also serve Issaquah, Hobart, Ravensdale, Auburn, Federal Way, and Enumclaw. Travel time isn’t a charge — it’s part of doing business in King County. The only thing geography affects is which days we can fit in an estimate visit.
Q: Are you licensed and bonded in Washington?
Yes. License #FIRMRRL783PU. We carry general liability and workers’ comp. We can send you a certificate of insurance before the job starts if you want one for your records. We pull all required permits with the city or King County and schedule inspections.
Q: Can you handle a whole-home remodel, not just one room?
Yes. We’ve done several whole-home renovations where homeowners wanted to update bathrooms, the kitchen, flooring, and paint at the same time. Whole-home projects take more planning up front — finish selections, scheduling, sometimes a temporary kitchen — but they’re usually more cost-effective than remodeling one room a year for five years.
Q: How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Maple Valley, WA?
It depends on the scope. A basic bathroom refresh — new vanity, tile, and fixtures — typically runs $8,000–$15,000. A full gut remodel with a new shower, layout changes, and all new finishes usually falls between $18,000–$40,000. We give free in-home estimates so you know exactly what you’re looking at before committing to anything.
Q: Do you offer free estimates for bathroom remodeling near me?
Yes. We offer free, no-pressure consultations for homeowners in Maple Valley and the surrounding area. We’ll come see the space, talk through what you want, and put together a written estimate. Call us at (206) 773-8264 or fill out the form on this page.
Q: How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most bathroom remodels we do in Maple Valley take two to three weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Larger bathrooms or projects with custom tile work can take four weeks. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Q: Do you remodel kitchens and basements too?
Yes. Kitchen remodeling and basement finishing are both big parts of our work. We serve homeowners throughout King County — Maple Valley, Covington, Kent, Black Diamond, Hobart, and the surrounding areas.
What Working With Us Looks Like — From First Call to Final Walkthrough
Step 1: The Phone Call or Form
You call (206) 773-8264 or fill out the quote form. We ask a few questions about what you’re thinking — bathroom, kitchen, basement, whole house — and book a time to come look at the space. No charge, no obligation.
Step 2: The In-Home Visit
We come to you. Usually 45 minutes to an hour. We measure, look at plumbing and electrical, ask about your timeline and budget, and talk through options. You don’t need to have everything figured out — most homeowners don’t, and that’s fine. We’ll walk you through what’s realistic.
Step 3: The Written Estimate
Within 3–5 business days you get a written, line-itemed estimate. Demo costs separated from materials, separated from labor. No “miscellaneous” charges. If something’s an allowance (like tile, where you haven’t picked yet), we’ll note it as an allowance with a dollar figure attached so you know what you’re working with.
Step 4: Contract and Schedule
If the estimate works, we sign a contract, you pay a deposit, and we schedule the start. Lead time is usually 3–8 weeks depending on the season. Bathrooms in summer book fast.
Step 5: The Build
Crews show up when we said they’d show up. We protect your floors and contain dust to the work area. You’ll have a single point of contact (usually the owner or the lead carpenter) for the entire project. If something changes mid-project, we put it in writing and get your sign-off before doing the work.
Step 6: Inspections and Walkthrough
We pull permits and schedule inspections through the city of Maple Valley, Kent, Renton, Covington, Black Diamond, or whichever jurisdiction the property is in. After final inspection, we do a walkthrough together. Anything you want adjusted, we adjust. We don’t ask for the final payment until you’re satisfied.
That’s it. No call center, no project manager handoffs, no surprise charges in week three.
