Remodeling in Kent

Building in Kent

Kent covers a lot of ground, from older valley neighborhoods near downtown to the sprawling 1980s and 1990s subdivisions of East Hill and the view streets of West Hill. The East Hill two-stories are the classic Kent remodel: solid tract construction now 30 to 40 years old, with oak-and-laminate kitchens, cramped primary baths, and bonus rooms that never got finished properly. These homes respond beautifully to focused updates because the structure is sound and the layouts are one wall away from working well.

Kent households tend to be growing households, and much of our work here is about capacity: opening kitchens for family life, adding bathrooms, and building ADUs or converting spaces for parents and adult kids under one roof. The City of Kent handles its own permitting and is accustomed to residential remodel and ADU applications, and recent state ADU legislation applies here as it does across King County. We manage the drawings, the submittal, and the inspections so a busy family never has to.

Kent's East Hill two-stories are classic 1980s-90s tract construction now carrying oak-and-laminate kitchens and cramped baths. The opportunity is capacity: opening kitchens, adding bathrooms, and building ADUs for multigenerational households.

EAST HILL FLOOR PLANS FROM THE LATE 1980S ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE AN UNDERUSED FORMAL LIVING ROOM AT THE FRONT, AND CONVERTING IT TO AN OFFICE OR GUEST SUITE IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST-VALUE MOVES IN KENT.
