Home Remodeling Spokane Valley

We handle both the small, contained projects and the large, multi-trade builds -- often for the same clients over the years as their homes and needs evolve. Below is the full scope of what we cover, with more detail on each further down the page.

• Kitchen remodeling -- full gut-and-rebuild kitchens, cabinet and countertop replacements, layout reconfigurations, and appliance integration.
• Bathroom remodeling -- primary suite renovations, walk-in shower conversions, tub-to-shower changeouts, and full accessibility retrofits.
• Basement remodeling -- finishing unfinished space into livable square footage: family rooms, home offices, guest suites, and egress-compliant bedrooms.
• Home additions -- bump-outs, second-story additions, in-law suites, and expanded living or dining space.
• Custom home building -- ground-up construction on your lot, built to your floor plan and finish level.
• Decks -- new deck construction, replacement of aging or unsafe decks, and covered/multi-level deck builds.
• ADUs (accessory dwelling units) -- detached and attached backyard units for rental income, aging parents, or adult children.
• Garage construction -- new detached garages, garage additions, and conversions of existing garage space into living area.
• Commercial remodeling -- tenant improvements, office buildouts, and renovations for retail and small commercial spaces.

Every one of these projects, big or small, runs through the same estimating and scheduling process described below -- so a $12,000 bathroom gets the same documentation rigor as a $250,000 addition.

Bathrooms combine tight square footage with a high concentration of plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing work, which is why cost per square foot in a bathroom often runs higher than almost any other room. We handle everything from a straightforward tub-to-shower conversion to a full primary suite renovation with a curbless walk-in shower, double vanity, and heated flooring.

A large share of our bathroom work also involves aging-in-place modifications -- widened doorways, grab bars, curbless shower entries, and comfort-height fixtures -- for homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term rather than move. These retrofits are quoted the same way as any other bathroom project: itemized, with the accessibility-specific components broken out separately so you can see exactly what that scope adds to the total.

Additions range from a modest bump-out to expand a kitchen or add a mudroom, up to full second-story additions that roughly double a home's footprint. Additions are the most structurally involved category of remodeling work we do, because they touch the foundation, roofline, and often the home's existing mechanical systems all at once.

Every addition project starts with a design and engineering phase before any construction pricing is finalized -- we need confirmed structural drawings to give you an accurate itemized number, not a rough guess. That design phase is scoped and priced separately up front, so you know exactly what the planning stage costs before committing to the build.

A deck is one of the more straightforward projects we build, but "straightforward" doesn't mean low-stakes -- a poorly built deck is a safety liability, and it's one of the first things a home inspector checks during a sale. Our Spokane Valley deck construction work covers new builds, replacement of aging or structurally compromised decks, multi-level designs, and covered or partially covered decks.

Material choice is the primary cost and maintenance driver on any deck: pressure-treated lumber costs less up front but requires ongoing maintenance, while composite decking costs more initially but needs little upkeep over its life. We walk through that trade-off with every deck client during the estimate so the decision is made with full cost information, not guesswork.

Garage projects fall into two categories: building new (a detached garage or an addition to the existing structure) and converting existing garage space into finished living area. A garage conversion is priced similarly to a basement finish -- insulation, electrical, HVAC extension, flooring, and drywall -- with the added consideration of what happens to the garage door opening and whether the space needs a foundation or slab upgrade to meet living-space standards.

The single biggest source of frustration in remodeling isn't cost -- it's uncertainty. Homeowners who've had a bad experience with a contractor almost always describe the same problem: they didn't know what was happening, when, or why the price changed. We fix that with a documented process that's the same for every project, communicated to you in writing before work starts.

1. Initial consultation and walkthrough. We visit the property, discuss your goals and budget range, and take measurements and photos.
2. Itemized estimate. You receive a written, line-by-line breakdown of costs by category -- materials, labor, permits, and any subcontracted trades -- not a single lump-sum number.
3. Design and material selection. For projects involving layout changes, we finalize drawings; for all projects, you select finishes, fixtures, and materials with our guidance on availability and lead times.
4. Permitting. We pull and manage all required permits and coordinate inspections so you don't have to navigate that process yourself.
5. Scheduled construction. Work proceeds on a documented timeline that's shared with you, including expected start and completion windows for each phase.
6. Progress check-ins. You get regular updates as the project moves through demo, rough-in, and finish stages -- not silence until it's done.
7. Final walkthrough and punch list. Before we consider a project complete, we walk it with you, document any remaining items, and resolve them.
8. Warranty documentation. You receive written documentation of your labor warranty coverage for the completed work.

Timeline varies significantly by project type: a bathroom remodel typically moves faster than a kitchen, and a kitchen moves faster than an addition or custom build, largely because of how many trades have to be sequenced and how much of the work depends on permitting and inspection turnaround. We give you a realistic timeline range as part of your itemized estimate, not an optimistic best case.
