Ballard is a neighborhood in transition where Scandinavian fishing village heritage meets rapid modern development. The original streets north of Market Street are lined with modest Craftsman cottages from the 1920s-1940s. South of Market, modern townhomes and condominiums dominate. This creates two distinct remodeling profiles: Craftsman homeowners updating century-old plumbing, and new-build owners upgrading builder-grade finishes.
We know Ballard well — from the craftsman cottages homes to the scandinavian-style bungalows, we've worked on them all. With homes in Ballard averaging $875,000, homeowners here typically invest 10-15% of their home's value in a kitchen remodel — which means most projects fall between $88,000 and $131,000. Bathroom remodels typically run about half that range.
Our crews have worked in neighborhoods across Ballard — from Old Ballard, Loyal Heights, Whittier Heights to Sunset Hill, Adams, West Woodland and everywhere in between. We understand the quirks of 60-year-old homes in this area: the plumbing situations, the electrical panels, the load-bearing walls. That local knowledge saves you time, money, and surprises during your remodel.
