Home Remodeling

Cornell's Quality Construction has served Seattle homeowners for over 30 years, bringing attention to detail to neighborhoods throughout the city. From Capitol Hill to Ballard, Queen Anne to West Seattle, we understand the unique character of Seattle homes and the specific needs of remodeling in the city.

Seattle is home to a diverse mix of architectural styles—from classic Craftsman bungalows and Tudor revivals to mid-century modern and contemporary new construction. We've worked throughout the city, adapting our approach to honor each home's character while incorporating modern systems, materials, and design. Whether you're updating a historic home or renovating a newer property, our high-quality construction standards ensure quality work that lasts.

Common remodeling projects in Seattle include kitchen and bathroom updates, whole-home renovations, additions, and ADUs. The city's zoning allows for accessory dwelling units in most residential areas, and we regularly help homeowners navigate the design and permitting process for these valuable additions. Seattle's building codes are thorough, and we maintain strong relationships with the city's permit departments to move projects through approval efficiently.

Many Seattle homes are 50+ years old and present unique challenges—from knob-and-tube wiring and outdated plumbing to structural quirks and deferred maintenance. We approach these older homes with appropriate care, often discovering and addressing hidden issues during renovation. Our experience with Seattle's housing stock means we can anticipate common problems and budget appropriately for surprises.
