Burien sits just south of Seattle along the Puget Sound coastline, where the community's mid-century heritage and ongoing revitalization create a compelling remodeling market. The neighborhood surrounding Three Tree Point — a quiet residential peninsula jutting into Puget Sound — features waterfront and water-view homes where premium kitchen and bathroom remodels are common. The streets radiating from the Burien Town Square along SW 152nd Street showcase the city's 1950s and 1960s core housing stock: modest but well-built ramblers and Cape Cod-style homes with original kitchens that feature linoleum floors, metal-edged countertops, and painted wood cabinets. The Gregory Heights neighborhood offers slightly newer 1970s construction, while the Seahurst area near Seahurst Beach Park draws families with its combination of natural beauty and reasonable home prices. Burien's diverse community — with significant Latin American and East African populations — has transformed the city's culinary landscape along Ambaum Boulevard, and this diversity extends to kitchen remodeling preferences with homeowners requesting features suited to various cooking traditions. At a median home value of about $525,000, Burien represents excellent remodeling value for homeowners looking to modernize older homes without the price premium of Seattle or the Eastside.
We know Burien well — from the 1950s-1960s ramblers homes to the cape cod style, we've worked on them all. With homes in Burien averaging $525,000, homeowners here typically invest 10-15% of their home's value in a kitchen remodel — which means most projects fall between $53,000 and $79,000. Bathroom remodels typically run about half that range.
Our crews have worked in neighborhoods across Burien — from Three Tree Point, Seahurst, Gregory Heights to Boulevard Park, North Burien, South Burien and everywhere in between. We understand the quirks of 55-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.
