Expert Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Across King County & Eastside
Stonewell Remodel has completed kitchen and bathroom remodels across King County for 13 years. Our project managers on the team work regularly in 1960s and 1970s split level homes in Norkirk and Everest, and in Craftsman bungalows near downtown Kirkland and Moss Bay. Lake Washington humidity, the region’s extended rainy season, and settling patterns common in homes built before modern moisture barriers create specific structural issues in these houses. Warped subfloors, gapped seams, and moisture damage behind older drywall are the three most common problems the team corrects during a remodel.
Stonewell Remodel carries full Washington state licensing and insurance on every project. The company has completed over 340 kitchen and bathroom remodels in King County since 2013. Every remodel includes:
- A five year workmanship warranty.
- Permit submission for plumbing and electrical work in King County
- A pre-demolition walkthrough covering timeline and budget in writing
68% of new clients over the past two years came through homeowner referrals rather than paid advertising.

Safe, Code-Compliant Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels for Homes
Kitchen Remodels
Stonewell Remodel provides full kitchen remodels across King County and the Eastside. Our Kitchen service includes layout changes, cabinet installation, countertop replacement, custom finish work and others as well. Each remodel plan is built around the homeowner's actual cooking and storage habits, so the result is a kitchen with better workflow, updated finishes, and stronger resale value.
Bathroom Remodels
Stonewell Remodel provides full and partial bathroom remodels across King County and the Eastside. Services include tile installation, fixture replacement, layout redesign, and finish work rated for daily moisture exposure. Our projects range from a single fixture swap to a complete gut renovation, each planned around the homeowner's existing layout and storage needs.
What Sets Our Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Apart in King County
Beyond superficial finishes, every renovation requires precise structural, mechanical, and regional considerations. We manage complex structural modifications, local building code compliance, and moisture protection systems to ensure your remodeled kitchen or bathroom delivers lasting structural value and everyday functional performance.
Permit Compliance
We manage all municipal permitting, building code requirements, and local inspection schedules across King County from day one. Our team ensures all structural, plumbing, and electrical modifications remain fully compliant, eliminating costly delays and protecting your home long term resale value.
Structural Modifications
Opening up compartmentalized floor plans requires precise structural engineering. We handle load bearing wall removals, beam installations, and subfloor reinforcement safely. Our framing adjustments create open kitchen and bathroom layouts while maintaining the complete structural integrity of your residential space.
Moisture Engineering
Pacific Northwest humidity and ground settling require specialized wet area protection. We apply advanced waterproof membranes, sealed subfloor barriers, and commercial grade tile backer systems under every installation. This shields subflooring, joists, and surrounding framing against hidden water intrusion.
Space Optimization
Older single-story and split-level homes often suffer from inefficient floor plans. We design custom cabinetry configurations, pull-out storage solutions, and optimized room layouts. Every square foot is engineered to improve daily functional usability, workflow efficiency, and interior storage capacity.
Utility Integration
Modern kitchens and custom tile showers demand upgraded mechanical systems. We reroute aging supply lines, replace drain infrastructure, and upgrade electrical panels in pre-1980 homes. This safely supports modern high-draw kitchen appliances, dedicated lighting circuits, and multi-fixture shower valves.
Quality Assurance
Project failure usually stems from poor trade management. We perform thorough pre-demolition site evaluations, detailed line-item planning, and continuous quality inspections throughout every build phase. Our licensed specialists manage every construction stage in-house to maintain strict timeline precision and craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below, we have answered some of the most common questions we've been asked by homeowners. These answers can help you make a more informed decision about your home.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Kirkland, WA?
Costs vary based on many different factors. A cosmetic refresh typically ranges from $30,000–$50,000, a midrange remodel from $50,000–$95,000, and a full custom renovation with structural changes from $100,000–$188,000+. At Stonewell Remodels, our projects start as low as $20,000.
How do you assess structural framing when removing walls for an open-concept layout?
Before removing any wall, we perform a site evaluation to determine if it is load-bearing. If the wall supports upper levels or roof structures, we engineer and install proper support beams and posts to safely transfer structural loads. This ensures your open layout remains stable and fully compliant with local King County building codes.
What electrical and panel upgrades are required when adding modern appliances to pre-1980 kitchen remodels?
Older homes in cities like Kirkland, Bellevue, and Renton often have 100-amp or 150-amp electrical panels that cannot support modern, high-draw kitchen appliances like induction cooktops, built-in double ovens, or dedicated under-cabinet lighting circuits. During a kitchen remodel, we evaluate your existing panel, upgrade circuits to meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, and install dedicated GFCI/AFCI outlets to ensure safe operation.
Do I need permits for a home remodel?
Remodeling projects that involve plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require a permit in Kirkland. We handle the permitting process, so you don't have to navigate it alone.
How do you prevent tile cracking and subfloor moisture damage in older Eastside bathroom remodels?
In homes built prior to modern moisture standards especially in areas near Lake Washington, we install uncoupling membranes and continuous waterproof barrier systems beneath wall and floor tile. This prevents subfloor flexing from causing cracked grout or tile, while shielding the subfloor framing against long-term moisture penetration and mold growth during damp Northwest winters.
Do open-concept kitchen layout changes or load-bearing wall removals require permits in King County?
Yes. Any kitchen remodel that involves removing structural load-bearing walls, altering electrical circuits, or rerouting supply and drain plumbing lines requires building permits through your local city municipality (such as the City of Kirkland Development Services or MyBuildingPermit.com for Eastside cities). Securing proper structural engineering and permits ensures your open-concept layout is safe, meets King County building codes, and protects your home’s resale value.
How do you handle plumbing line relocations for custom kitchen island sinks or walk-in bathroom showers?
Relocating plumbing lines requires opening the subfloor or trenching concrete slabs to run new drain, vent, and water lines at proper slopes. In Eastside homes with crawlspaces or split-level foundations, we inspect the existing joist framing to route plumbing cleanly without compromising structural stability, ensuring proper drainage and leak-free connections before closing up walls and floors.
Will remodeling my home increase its value in Kirkland's market?
Major upgrades like kitchens, bathrooms, and added living space can improve both your home's functionality and its resale value. However, the exact increase depends on the scope of the project, the quality of the work, and the current market conditions in Kirkland.
