Planning a remodel, addition, ADU, kitchen, bathroom, basement, structural change, or larger property improvement? Seattle General Contractor helps homeowners, landlords, investors, Realtors, property managers, and property owners coordinate general contracting, remodeling, additions, ADUs, framing, drywall, flooring, tile, painting, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing-related repairs, permits, design-build planning, and project coordination throughout Seattle and Puget Sound.
A strong general contractor project should bring the scope, trades, schedule, materials, permits, and finish details together in the right order. Whether you are opening walls for a remodel, adding square footage, converting a basement, building an ADU, or updating several rooms at once, the goal is to reduce rework and keep the project moving from planning through completion. Send your city, photos, plans if available, and a short description of what you want to build, remodel, repair, or change.

🏗️ SEATTLE GENERAL CONTRACTOR
General contractor services may involve planning, demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertops, tile, painting, trim, doors, roofing-related work, exterior repairs, permits, inspections, and final punch-list items.
HOME REMODEL
A home remodel may update one room or change how several areas of the house work together. Projects can include kitchens, bathrooms, basements, bedrooms, offices, laundry rooms, flooring, lighting, walls, doors, storage, trim, paint, and layout changes. Home remodel planning should focus on function, sequence, and the systems behind the finishes.
HOME RENOVATION
Home renovation can range from finish updates to major construction. Some projects involve cabinets, counters, flooring, paint, tile, doors, and lighting. Others require wall changes, framing, plumbing, electrical, structural work, additions, or complete interior renovation. Defining the scope early helps determine which trades, permits, materials, and sequencing may be required.
WHOLE HOME REMODEL
A whole-home remodel can combine several rooms and systems into one coordinated project. Work may include kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, bedrooms, flooring, drywall, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, doors, trim, paint, stairs, storage, structural repairs, and layout changes. Planning the home as one project can reduce repeated demolition and help create more consistent finishes.
🍳 KITCHEN REMODEL
Kitchen remodel projects may include cabinets, countertops, islands, backsplash, flooring, lighting, plumbing, electrical, appliance layouts, pantry storage, drywall, paint, trim, ventilation, and open-concept changes. The best kitchen remodeling projects improve storage, prep space, traffic flow, lighting, cleanup, seating, and the relationship between the kitchen and surrounding living areas.
OPEN CONCEPT KITCHEN
Open-concept remodeling may involve removing or modifying walls between kitchens, dining rooms, and living areas. Projects can require framing, beams, posts, electrical relocation, plumbing changes, flooring transitions, lighting, drywall, cabinets, islands, and finish work. Walls should be evaluated before demolition because some may carry loads or contain plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems.
KITCHEN CABINETS & COUNTERTOPS
Cabinet replacement can improve storage, appliance placement, pantry space, island design, and the overall kitchen layout. Countertops depend on accurate cabinet installation and may include expanded prep areas, island counters, sink cutouts, and backsplash coordination. Cabinets, counters, plumbing, electrical, appliances, and flooring should be planned together.
🚿 BATHROOM REMODEL
Bathroom remodel projects may include walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, tile, waterproofing, vanities, flooring, lighting, ventilation, plumbing, mirrors, storage, drywall, paint, and heated floors. Bathroom remodeling should address water control, ventilation, plumbing locations, electrical needs, and daily function before decorative finishes are installed.
WALK IN SHOWERS & TUB TO SHOWER
Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions may involve demolition, plumbing changes, waterproofing, shower pans, tile, benches, niches, grab-bar blocking, fixtures, glass, lighting, and flooring transitions. The shower should be designed around safe entry, drainage, cleaning, storage, and the available bathroom space.
BASEMENT REMODEL
Basement remodeling can create bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms, offices, laundry rooms, wet bars, storage, gyms, guest areas, or ADU-style living space. Basement planning should consider moisture, ceiling height, stairs, egress, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, lighting, drywall, and flooring before new finishes are installed.
🏠 HOME ADDITIONS
Home additions may create bedrooms, primary suites, family rooms, offices, expanded kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, second stories, garages, or other living space. Addition projects may involve design, permits, foundation work, framing, roofing, windows, siding, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, and interior finishes. The addition should connect naturally to the existing home.
ADU & DADU PROJECTS
ADUs and DADUs may provide flexible space for family, rental use, guests, offices, aging parents, or long-term property value. Projects can include bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, utilities, framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, doors, and finishes. Efficient layout, access, storage, utility planning, and permit requirements should be considered early.
DESIGN BUILD
Design-build planning connects the project idea with the construction scope. Remodels, additions, and ADUs work better when the layout, framing, structural conditions, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cabinets, finishes, and construction sequence are considered together rather than one trade at a time.
BUILDING PLANS & PERMITS
Some projects may require plans, structural information, permit review, inspections, or jurisdictional approvals. Additions, ADUs, structural changes, major electrical or plumbing work, new bathrooms, basement conversions, and larger remodels may trigger permit requirements. Understanding the likely permit path early can help reduce delays after construction begins.
STRUCTURAL CHANGES
Some remodeling projects involve removing walls, enlarging openings, changing stairs, repairing framing, adding beams or posts, correcting floor conditions, or connecting additions to an existing home. Structural questions should be identified before demolition goes too far. Cosmetic finishes should not cover a condition that needs structural review.
FRAMING
Framing creates the structure for new walls, openings, rooms, ceilings, soffits, additions, and remodeled areas. Framing should reflect the final kitchen, bathroom, door, window, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cabinet, and finish plans so later trades are not constantly modifying completed work.
DRYWALL
Drywall work may follow demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, structural repairs, and wall changes. Projects can include new drywall, patches, ceilings, texture matching, water-damage repairs, and finishing around new openings. Good drywall preparation makes paint, trim, cabinets, and final finishes look cleaner.
FLOORING
Flooring is frequently part of kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, basements, additions, and whole-home renovation. Projects may include luxury vinyl plank, tile, hardwood-style flooring, laminate, repairs, subfloor correction, and transitions between rooms. Flooring should be sequenced with cabinets, doors, trim, and other finish work.
🧱 TILE
Tile may be used in showers, bathrooms, kitchen backsplashes, floors, entries, fireplaces, laundry rooms, and other remodeled areas. Tile projects depend on good substrate preparation, waterproofing where needed, layout, grout, trim, and coordination with surrounding cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and flooring.
PAINTING & FINISHES
Interior painting, trim, baseboards, doors, hardware, and finish details bring a remodel together. Painting usually follows drywall repair and should be coordinated with flooring, cabinetry, tile, and finish carpentry to reduce touch-up work.
CARPENTRY & TRIM
Carpentry may include framing, baseboards, window and door trim, shelving, built-ins, storage, blocking, cabinets, stair details, and repairs. Finish carpentry is often one of the final stages that makes a project feel complete.
PLUMBING DURING REMODELING
Kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement remodels, additions, and ADUs often require plumbing changes. Projects may involve sinks, faucets, toilets, showers, tubs, drains, dishwashers, water lines, laundry connections, or relocated fixtures. Plumbing locations should be planned before cabinets, tile, flooring, and walls are finalized.
ELECTRICAL DURING REMODELING
Remodeling may require new circuits, outlets, switches, lighting, appliance wiring, GFCI protection, panel upgrades, EV chargers, bathroom electrical, kitchen electrical, or changes caused by new walls and room layouts. Electrical planning should happen before drywall closes walls and before cabinets or finishes limit access.
HVAC & VENTILATION
Home remodels can affect heating, cooling, ductwork, ventilation, supply registers, returns, thermostats, and equipment loads. Kitchen remodels may require ventilation changes. Bathroom remodeling may require improved exhaust. Basements, additions, and ADUs may need new heating and cooling solutions. HVAC should be coordinated with the final layout before ceilings and walls are finished.
🏚️ OLDER HOME REMODELING
Seattle has many older homes with framing, wiring, plumbing, flooring, walls, and previous renovations completed over several decades. Remodeling may uncover outdated electrical, older plumbing, uneven floors, damaged framing, multiple layers of finishes, hidden water damage, limited insulation, or previous changes that affect the new plan. Existing conditions should be evaluated before they are covered with new finishes.
💧 WATER DAMAGE, MOLD & MOISTURE
Some remodels begin because of roof leaks, plumbing leaks, failed showers, appliance problems, or other moisture conditions. Water can damage drywall, insulation, cabinets, subfloor, flooring, trim, and framing. Musty odors, staining, soft drywall, peeling paint, or mold-like growth should be addressed before new finishes hide the problem. The moisture source should be corrected first, and larger or testing-dependent mold conditions may require specialty remediation professionals.
OTHER REMODEL PROJECTS
General contractor projects may also include garage conversions, primary suites, offices, laundry areas, storage improvements, and other spaces that need framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, flooring, doors, trim, or finish work. These areas should be coordinated with the larger home plan so utilities, access, and room layouts work together.
RENTAL PROPERTY REMODELING
Landlords and investors may need kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, flooring, drywall, paint, doors, lighting, handyman repairs, damaged finishes, or larger property improvements between tenants. Rental remodeling should focus on durability, clean appearance, function, maintenance, and getting the property back into service efficiently.
🔧 HANDYMAN SERVICES & PUNCH LISTS
Not every project requires a full remodel. Handyman services may be appropriate for drywall patches, trim repairs, doors, shelving, hardware, minor carpentry, paint touch-ups, assembly, punch lists, move-in repairs, and smaller home improvements. When the work involves licensed plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or larger remodeling, those portions should move into the appropriate trade or remodel scope.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
General contracting involves connected stages. Demolition may reveal hidden conditions. Framing needs final layouts. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC happen before walls close. Drywall comes before paint. Cabinets affect countertops. Waterproofing comes before shower tile. Flooring, doors, trim, fixtures, and final punch-list work depend on earlier trades being complete. Project management helps keep those stages moving in the correct order.
PROJECT SCOPE DEVELOPMENT
A useful project scope identifies what is included before work begins. Depending on the project, the scope may include demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertops, tile, paint, trim, doors, permits, and final cleanup. A clearer scope makes estimating, scheduling, and contractor communication easier.
