Lynnwood is undergoing a transformation from a mid-century suburb into a connected urban community, driven by the arrival of Sound Transit's Lynnwood City Center light rail station and substantial mixed-use development. The city's established neighborhoods — particularly those along 196th Street SW, around Daleway Park, and in the Martha Lake area — are filled with 1960s through 1980s homes with original kitchens and bathrooms that are prime candidates for renovation. The neighborhoods near Alderwood Mall, one of Washington's premier shopping centers, feature a mix of housing ages, from original 1960s ramblers to 1990s cul-de-sac developments. North Lynnwood approaching the Mountlake Terrace border contains more modest homes where cost-effective remodeling delivers excellent returns. The Meadowdale neighborhood on the west side offers larger lots and older homes with more character, while new townhome developments along Highway 99 are attracting first-time buyers. With light rail construction driving property appreciation and a median home value around $600,000, Lynnwood homeowners have strong financial motivation to update kitchens and bathrooms before the transit-driven real estate wave peaks.
We know Lynnwood well — from the 1960s-1970s ramblers homes to the 1980s two-story homes, we've worked on them all. With homes in Lynnwood averaging $600,000, homeowners here typically invest 10-15% of their home's value in a kitchen remodel — which means most projects fall between $60,000 and $90,000. Bathroom remodels typically run about half that range.
Our crews have worked in neighborhoods across Lynnwood — from Alderwood, Martha Lake, Meadowdale to North Lynnwood, Daleway, Lynnwood City Center 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.
