We serve Edmonds, Washington, a thriving coastal city of 42,853 residents that has seen remarkable growth since its founding in 1876. As experts in home conversion, we help homeowners in this 15-mile north Seattle suburb adapt their spaces for modern living. Our team specializes in transforming basements, attics, and garages into functional rooms, typically completing projects within 4-8 weeks. With Edmonds' median home value of $825,000 and an average household size of 2.26 persons, we understand the importance of maximizing living space.
We bring 15 years of experience working in the unique architectural styles found in Edmonds' diverse neighborhoods, from the historic downtown district to the State Route 99 corridor. Operating since 2008, we've completed hundreds of conversions while strictly adhering to local building codes.
Our projects have contributed to the city's housing evolution, particularly in areas like the Bowl district and Five Corners neighborhood, where many homes date back to the mid-20th century suburban development. We work with homeowners across all of Edmonds' 8.90 square miles, helping them adapt their properties to meet changing needs while preserving the character that makes each area unique.
Understanding Home Conversion
We can change any unused space into a room families will love to use. Many homes in Edmonds were built between 1960 and 1990 when the city grew the most. These homes often have basements, attics, or garages that can become new living spaces. We know how to work with the different styles of homes found in places like the Bowl district and the hills near Puget Sound. Our team has special tools and skills to handle any type of conversion project. We make sure each new room matches the style of the rest of the house. Our most asked-for projects include:
Converting unused areas increases home square footage without expanding the footprint. In Edmonds' competitive housing market, where the population has grown by 7.9% since 2010, our conversions typically boost property values by 20-30%. We help homeowners adapt to changing needs while maintaining the architectural character that makes Edmonds' residential areas distinctive.
Design and Planning
We start every project by making a careful plan that fits each home's special needs. Our team looks at things like where the sun comes in and how people move through their homes. We think about how to add storage in smart ways that save space. Since Edmonds gets 192 sunny days per year, we like to add windows when we can to bring in natural light. We work with the slope of your land, which is important in Edmonds' hilly areas near Puget Sound. The plans we make show exactly how the new space will look when it's done.
Making new rooms work well takes more than just building walls. We think about how to control the temperature in the new space all year long. With Edmonds' mild climate that ranges from 40 to 75 degrees, good insulation is very important. We put in proper wiring for computers and phones since many people work from home now. We make sure air flows well through the new space. We add good lighting to make the room bright and cheerful. The new room will feel like it was always part of your home.
Cost and Value
Our projects in Edmonds usually cost between $30,000 and $100,000, depending on what needs to be done. The average home value in Edmond is $825,000. And these changes often add much more value than they cost. We help people find ways to pay for their projects that work best for them. Local banks often give loans for home improvements at good rates. We make detailed plans that show exactly what things will cost. Most projects pay for themselves when homes are sold later.
We know that spending money on your home is a big decision. We give clear price lists that show what everything costs before we start. Our team looks for ways to save money without cutting corners on quality. Being close to Seattle's building supply centers helps us keep costs down. We use good materials that will last a long time. The value these changes add to homes often reaches 20-30% of the project cost.
Our Process
We follow clear steps that make sure every project goes smoothly from start to finish. First, we visit your home and talk about what you want to change. We measure everything carefully and check what's behind the walls. We look at things like electrical systems and plumbing to see what needs updating. We create detailed drawings that show how the new space will look. We get all the needed permits from Edmonds' building department, which approved over 500 home improvement projects last year.
The actual work happens in a careful order that makes sense. We start by making any big changes to walls or floors that need to happen. Then we update things like electrical wires and pipes to meet current Edmonds building codes. We add insulation and put up new walls. We install floors, lights, and other finishing touches. Most projects take 4-8 weeks from start to finish. We clean up completely when we're done.
Quality and Standards
Every project must meet strict rules about safety and quality. As a city founded in 1890, Edmonds has special building rules that protect both old and new homes. We know these rules well and follow them carefully on every job. We use materials that will last a long time and look good for many years.
