We Know Kenmore Homes — We've Been Remodeling Them for 15 Years

Kenmore occupies a picturesque position at the northern tip of Lake Washington where the Sammamish River meets the lake, and this waterfront setting defines the community's character and remodeling preferences. The city's Lakepointe neighborhood along the western shore of Lake Washington features stunning view homes and waterfront properties where premium kitchen and bathroom remodels are common. The Kenmore neighborhood surrounding the historic Kenmore Air Harbor — the nation's largest seaplane base — blends nostalgic small-town character with modern residential development. Inland neighborhoods along Juanita Drive NE and 73rd Avenue NE contain 1960s and 1970s ramblers and split-levels with modest kitchens and single bathrooms typical of their era. The Burke-Gilman Trail, which runs through the heart of Kenmore, attracts active families who appreciate the city's combination of outdoor recreation access and proximity to both Kirkland and Bothell. The Inglewood and North Kenmore neighborhoods offer a mix of housing ages on larger lots with mature landscaping. With a median home value around $700,000 and a community that values both natural beauty and quality living, Kenmore homeowners invest thoughtfully in kitchen and bathroom renovations that enhance their connection to the waterfront lifestyle.

We know Kenmore well — from the 1960s-1970s ramblers homes to the waterfront and view homes, we've worked on them all. With homes in Kenmore averaging $700,000, homeowners here typically invest 10-15% of their home's value in a kitchen remodel — which means most projects fall between $70,000 and $105,000. Bathroom remodels typically run about half that range.

Our crews have worked in neighborhoods across Kenmore — from Lakepointe, Kenmore Air Harbor Area, Inglewood to North Kenmore, Moorlands, Linwood and everywhere in between. We understand the quirks of 45-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.

Permits in Kenmore: We Handle Everything

The City of Kenmore issues building permits through its Planning & Permitting Department. Permits are required for structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. Properties near the lake shoreline may require additional environmental review. Standard residential permit review takes 2-4 weeks. You'll need a permit from Kenmore for any remodel involving structural changes, plumbing relocation, or electrical work. Most projects over $6,000 in scope will trigger permit requirements.

We handle the entire permit process as part of our service — it's included in every quote. That means filing the application, responding to plan review comments, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything passes. Our crews are in Kenmore's building department regularly and know what the inspectors look for.

What We've Learned Remodeling in Kenmore

1

Kenmore Air, operating seaplanes from the north tip of Lake Washington since 1946, is a beloved local landmark — and the waterfront aviation heritage inspires unique design choices in nearby home remodels.

2

The Burke-Gilman Trail's passage through Kenmore makes the city especially appealing to active families, and many design their kitchens as central gathering spaces after trail runs and bike rides.

3

Kenmore's location at the outfall of Lake Washington means some properties experience higher water tables, making bathroom plumbing design and basement waterproofing especially important.

4

The city incorporated in 1998, making it one of the younger municipalities in King County — many homes predate the city itself, creating an interesting blend of established neighborhoods and modern governance.
