Learn About Our 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 Makes Our Work Different
Beyond superficial finishes, every renovation requires precise structural, mechanical, and thoughtful 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.
What Our Customer Say About Us
I have just two words for this company, and those are beyond amazing. I was guided properly from the very first call. I contacted them for a quick price estimate, and they took their time to provide me an accurate quote based on materials, time, and things like that. I ended up booking their service, and I wasn't disappointed at all.
To be honest I was very surprised by their commitment to excellence because I wasn't expecting such a smooth experience. They arrived right on time despite the morning traffic in Kirkland and immediately went to work. My new kitchen looks exactly how I imagined it.
I was having issues daily with my bathroom as it had several old plumbing issues. I contacted multiple companies but was left disappointed by the cost and time but Stonewell explained everything clearly before starting. I was informed of every decision, and the crew made sure the house was clean before they left, which I really appreciated.
After years of neglect, we finally replaced our outdated bathroom, and the difference is incredible. I was afraid of the cost, time and effort but one phone call to Stonewell cleared all my doubts. I was presented with several options according to my budget and was clearly explained about everything. We again hired these guys for our kitchen later on which also turned out great.
My wife wanted a modern kitchen while I preferred something practical. We decided to do a consultation with Stonewell and was presented with multiple options that were the perfect balance of what both of us wanted.

They respected our home and answered every question with respect.
i am glad that my previous contractor canceled on me because it led me to these people.

Stonewell has one of the most professional civilized crew. They remodeled our bathroom sooner than the quoted time and added custom storage at no additional charge. They measured everything carefully, and every shipment arrived without delaying the project. I am already considering my next project with them.

i am not too familiar with this remodeling stuff but I appreciated how organized their crew and everything was. They confirmed material deliveries in advance after my approval and communicated with me at every step and completed our bathroom remodel exactly like they promised.

Common 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 and a midrange remodel from $50,000–$95,000. At Stonewell Remodel, 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 permits. 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.
