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

Renton offers one of the most diverse and dynamic remodeling markets in the greater Seattle area, with housing stock that spans nearly a century of architectural styles. The historic Renton Hill neighborhood, perched above the Cedar River with views of Lake Washington, features charming 1940s and 1950s bungalows with original hardwood floors and compact kitchens that beg for modernization. Along the Rainier Avenue corridor and in the Highlands neighborhood, you'll find 1960s and 1970s ramblers with the classic single-bathroom, galley-kitchen layout that today's families find impractical. The Landing at Renton and nearby Southport development have brought modern condos and townhomes to the waterfront area, while the sprawling Benson Hill neighborhood in the south features more affordable 1980s-era homes. Renton's role as home to Boeing's 737 manufacturing facility and the Renton IKEA — one of the largest in Washington — gives the city a blue-collar-meets-suburban character. With a median home value of approximately $600,000, Renton represents a sweet spot for homeowners who want quality remodeling work without Eastside prices. The city has seen tremendous growth with the arrival of tech companies and its proximity to both Seattle and Bellevue, making kitchen and bathroom upgrades essential for homeowners looking to build equity.

We know Renton well — from the 1940s-1950s bungalows homes to the 1960s-1970s ramblers, we've worked on them all. With homes in Renton 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 Renton — from Renton Hill, Highlands, Benson Hill to Cascade/Benson, Kennydale, The Landing and everywhere in between. We understand the quirks of 42-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.
