Bathroom, Kitchen & Home Remodeling Contractor in Kent, WA

If you live in Kent, Maple Valley, Covington, Black Diamond, Ravensdale, Hobart, Renton, Issaquah, Enumclaw, Auburn, or Federal Way and you’ve been putting off that remodel, this is the page for you. We’re Firm Remodeling LLC, a licensed home remodeling contractor based out of Maple Valley (about 15 minutes from downtown Kent), and we work on Kent homes almost every week.

Most of the homes we remodel in Kent were built between the 1970s and the early 2000s. That means we know the quirks: the drop ceilings in the basements off East Hill, the cast-iron tubs in the older Mill Creek homes, the cramped galley kitchens in the Lake Meridian builds. We’ve worked around all of it.

What we do, in plain English:

Bathroom Remodeling

Full gut jobs, shower-only remodels, primary bath additions, and ADA-friendly walk-in showers.

Kitchen Remodeling

Cabinet swaps, full layout changes, island additions, and the occasional wall-removal that turns three rooms into one.

Basement Remodeling

Finishing unfinished basements, adding bedrooms, building out home theaters and home gyms, sometimes adding an ADU-ready space.

Full Home Renovations

When “while we’re at it” turns into the whole house.

Tile Installation

Showers, floors, backsplashes, fireplaces. We bring our own tile setter; we don’t sub it out.

We pull our own permits with the City of Kent and King County. We carry our own insurance. We don’t disappear after the deposit. If you’ve been burned before, ask for references — we’ll give you three.

Bathroom Remodeling Kent WA

We’re bathroom remodelers first. It’s the work we do the most of, and the work we’re best at. Whether you’re in Kent, Covington, Maple Valley, Renton, Auburn, or Federal Way, here’s how a bathroom remodel actually goes with us:

What a typical Kent bathroom remodel looks like:

• Week 1: We meet at your house, measure everything, and walk through what you want. You’ll get a written estimate within 3 business days — not a “starting at” number, an actual scope.
• Week 2-3: We help you pick tile, fixtures, vanities, paint. We have a small showroom and we’ll come with you to the slab yard if you want stone counters.
• Week 4: Demo. The dust is the worst part — we hang plastic and run negative-air machines to keep it out of the rest of the house.
• Week 5-7: Plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile. Inspections happen here. We pull the permits.
• Week 8: Final fixtures, paint touch-up, walkthrough, punch list.

Most full bathroom remodels in Kent run 6 to 8 weeks from demo to done. Shower-only remodels run 2 to 3 weeks. Cost depends on the scope — a primary bathroom remodel in Kent typically lands somewhere between $25,000 and $65,000 depending on tile, fixtures, and whether we’re moving plumbing.

Shower remodels in Kent WA

About a third of the bathroom jobs we do are shower-only. Tearing out the old fiberglass surround, building a curbless walk-in, tiling the walls and pan, putting in a frameless glass door. If that’s all you need, we don’t try to upsell you into a full gut.

Why people in Kent hire us instead of the other bathroom remodel contractors near them:

• We’re licensed, bonded, and insured (Washington State LIC# FIRMRRL783PU).
• We don’t sub out the tile work — that’s where most bathroom jobs go sideways.
• We give you one project manager. You’ll have his cell number.
• We finish on schedule. If we don’t, you don’t pay the final draw until we do.

Kitchen Remodeling Kent WA

Kitchens are the second thing people call us for, after bathrooms. Most of the kitchen remodels we do in Kent fall into one of three buckets:

• The cabinet-and-counter refresh. Same layout, new cabinets, new counters, new appliances, new lighting, new floor. Usually 4 to 6 weeks. Typically $35,000–$60,000 depending on cabinet line.
• The wall-down remodel. The old kitchen is closed off from the dining or living room and you want it open. We pull a permit, engineer the beam, drop the wall, then redo everything. Usually 7 to 10 weeks. Typically $55,000–$95,000.
• The full kitchen rebuild. Plumbing moves, gas line moves, structural work, sometimes new windows. 10 to 14 weeks. Typically $90,000 and up.

Those numbers are real numbers from real Kent kitchens we finished in 2024 and 2025. Your house may come in higher or lower; we’ll tell you straight after the walk-through.

Why kitchen remodels in Kent get expensive — and how we keep yours from getting worse:

• Cabinets are the biggest line item. We work with three local cabinet shops in addition to the standard semi-custom brands, and we’ll show you which gets you the best look for your budget.
• Plumbing relocations add up fast. If we can keep the sink and dishwasher on the existing wall, we will.
• Permits with the City of Kent take 2 to 4 weeks. We submit early so it doesn’t hold up your demo date.

We do kitchen remodels in Kent, Covington, Maple Valley, Black Diamond, Ravensdale, Hobart, Renton, Issaquah, Enumclaw, Auburn, and Federal Way. Same process, same crew, same warranty.

Basement Remodeling Kent WA

Most basements in Kent and the surrounding King County neighborhoods are unfinished — bare concrete, exposed framing, the furnace humming in the corner. Finishing one out adds 600 to 1,400 square feet of usable space to your house, and in this market it almost always pays back at sale.

Things we build in basements:

• Family rooms and home theaters — pre-wired for a projector or 85″ TV, with proper sound insulation in the ceiling.
• Guest bedrooms with egress windows — code in Washington requires a window of a specific size for any room you call a bedroom. We cut the window well, install the egress window, and frame it correctly the first time.
• Basement bathrooms — these need a sewage ejector pump unless your sewer line sits below the basement floor. We’ve installed enough of these to know which is which before we start.
• Home gyms — rubber floors, mirrors, dedicated 20-amp circuits.
• Basement ADUs and MIL suites — if zoning allows it, we’ll build a full kitchenette, bathroom, and separate entrance.

Most basement remodels in Kent run $40,000 to $90,000 depending on whether there’s plumbing, the size of the space, and how finished you want the bathroom to be. We pull the permit, manage the inspections, and handle the egress engineering when bedrooms are involved.

We do basement remodeling across Kent, Maple Valley, Covington, Renton, Auburn, and Federal Way. Call (206) 773-8264 for an estimate.

Vasile is an honest, competent worker with good prices who gets the job done.  Easy to communicate with.  Definitely a five star contractor!!  My project included drywall removal, replacement, and painting (walls and ceiling) as well as exterior 2nd story painting.

Everyone we interacted with was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely focused on what we wanted for our bathroom remodel—not just trying to push a sale. We were on a tight timeline, and I was a little concerned about whether it would get done in time. But the entire crew exceeded expectations. They were prompt, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The final result is absolutely stunning—we're so happy with how everything turned out. Best of all, the project was completed on time and within budget.

We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Firm Remodeling, and the results are fantastic! The team was professional, courteous, and did a great job keeping us informed throughout the entire process. They transformed our space with a beautiful walk-in shower, new flooring, and a modern toilet. It was great to see the progress along the way, and they had no problem with us snapping photos during the transformation. Highly recommend Firm Remodeling for anyone considering a bathroom upgrade! Thank you!

We had our bathroom remodeled and were blown away by the quality—especially the tile work, which turned out beautifully. Overall, the team did an excellent job. We're already thinking about bringing them back for our upcoming kitchen renovation. Highly recommended!

I hired Firm Remodeling LLC initially to do some repair work where a shower had leaked. His estimate was reasonable, the work completed promptly, and very high quality. Vasile has also done drywall repairs, trim installation, and many small repairs for me. I plan on using his services in the future for more drywall installation and also some exterior painting. Thanks for the great work!

I had the sincere pleasure of working with Vasile to remodel our primary bathroom and repair our kitchen ceiling, both of which had fallen victim to water damage. The results he delivered were nothing short of fantastic, greatly exceeding my expectations. From the beginning, Vasile stood out with his communication and focus on doing the work right, not simply doing the bare minimum that had contributed to the problems in the first place. He addressed all my questions, went through multiple rounds of alterations to the plan, and was very patient while we worked with my insurance provider. When it came time to start the project, he was flexible with scheduling, completing the project in two phases to work around my family's holiday plans. He was prompt and communicative throughout. I felt I always knew what was going on and what to expect on a given day. Vasile took very good care of our home, ensuring floors, walls, cabinets, etc... were protected and the work was well-contained, leaving the areas pristine. He also kept the disruption to a minimum, making it easy to be in the house while work was ongoing. The amount of effort he and his crew put in and the attention to detail throughout was simply incredible. They delivered awesome results and a great experience. Pricing was very fair and fully justified. Vasile delivered exceptional results that are above and beyond what I was expecting. Both the repair and remodel work turned out amazing! It's basically impossible for me to tell that anything ever happened to the kitchen, and the bathroom looks fantastic! A significant improvement over the original. I highly recommend Vasile. He is an extremely capable and dedicated professional and I'd welcome working with him in the future. Thank you Vasile!

For many years, Vasile and Firm Remodeling has been my family’s go-to crew for our apartment and residence renovations and repair jobs. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Vasile’s dedication to understanding and meeting our needs was evident no matter the size of our projects, big or small. He listens carefully to feedback, made adjustments accordingly, and quickly recreates a space that is functional and modern. His work on our recent apartment unit has exceeded all expectations, transforming a dark and dated space into something bright and inviting that our tenants can be proud to call home. And Vasile is a super nice guy and a pleasure to work with. You won’t be disappointed with Firm Remodeling.

About us

We’re a family-run remodeling contractor based in Maple Valley, WA. Our shop and tools live at 26424 233rd Ave SE — about 15 minutes from downtown Kent.

We started Firm Remodeling because we got tired of watching other contractors disappear mid-project, sub out tile work to whoever was cheapest that week, or quote a number and then “discover” twice that much in change orders. We don’t do that. The number we give you is the number, unless you change the scope.

Licensed in Washington (LIC# FIRMRRL783PU). Insured. Bonded. Reviewed on Google, Yelp, and Facebook — go read the reviews before you call us. We’d rather you do that homework now than later.
