Expert home remodeling, kitchen & bathroom renovations, ADU construction, and hardscaping for Lynnwood homeowners. Led by Christian Hannesschlaeger.
Lynnwood's proximity to the new Link light rail extension is driving significant property value increases across the city. Whether you own a classic rambler, split-level, or townhome in Alderwood Manor or Martha Lake, now is the time to invest in renovations that increase both comfort and market value.
We've completed hundreds of projects throughout Lynnwood and know exactly what buyers and families are looking for in this market. From kitchen upgrades to complete ADU construction, we handle every detail with the precision and care that your investment deserves.
Lynnwood's housing stock spans several decades. Many of the ramblers, split-levels, and townhomes built in the 1960s through 1990s have original systems that are reaching end-of-life. Kitchens with dark cabinetry, single-pane windows, original plumbing, and outdated electrical layouts are common. These homes have good bones, but they need thoughtful renovation to meet today's standards for energy efficiency, functionality, and resale appeal.
Our most common projects in Lynnwood address these exact issues:
Open-concept layouts, custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and high-end appliances. We handle structural modifications, plumbing relocation, and electrical upgrades to create functional kitchens that increase home value.
Custom tile work, heated floors, modern fixtures, and accessibility features. Whether refreshing a powder room or rebuilding a master bath, we deliver beautiful, durable results.
Detached units, garage conversions, and accessory dwellings. With Lynnwood's growing transit access, ADUs offer rental income and family flexibility while respecting neighborhood character.
Premium decking materials, built-in seating, pergolas, and hardscape patios. We design spaces that extend your home into the Puget Sound climate year-round.
Retaining walls, drainage solutions, permeable pavers, and native plantings. We solve water management issues common in Lynnwood's terrain while creating beautiful outdoor spaces.
Coordinate multiple trades across kitchens, bathrooms, structural work, and exterior updates. We manage the complexity so you enjoy the results.
Lynnwood's specific climate and building conditions require contractors who understand local challenges. We've spent years working on neighborhood staples, and we know what works here.
Lynnwood has its own permitting process with specific requirements for zoning, setbacks, and design review in certain areas. The upcoming Lynnwood Link extension is reshaping development patterns, especially near transit hubs. If you're considering an ADU or significant addition, location relative to future transit corridors can affect both feasibility and future value.
We've navigated Lynnwood's permitting landscape for years and know how to design projects that get approval efficiently. Whether it's ADU placement, setback compliance, or design review considerations, we handle the planning upfront so permits move smoothly.
Properties in Martha Lake, Alderwood Manor, and North Lynnwood may have additional homeowners' association restrictions. We review HOA guidelines before we design, ensuring your project stays in line with neighborhood standards while still delivering the results you want.

From first call to finished project
We visit your Lynnwood home to assess systems, layout, and condition. We discuss how the light rail expansion and neighborhood trends might affect your renovation strategy, whether that means adding an ADU, upgrading for resale, or remodeling for long-term comfort.
We create plans tailored to your specific home type. Ramblers get opened up differently than split-levels. We check HOA restrictions if you're in Alderwood Manor or Martha Lake, and design within Lynnwood's zoning requirements.
We submit permits to the City of Lynnwood and coordinate with your HOA if applicable. For ADU projects near transit, we verify zoning eligibility and setback compliance. Most residential permits clear in 2-4 weeks.
Older Lynnwood homes often need electrical panel upgrades, plumbing replacement, and insulation improvements before finish work begins. We handle systems first, then build out kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces with quality materials.
We complete all city inspections, walk through the finished project with you, and hand over permits and warranty documentation. Your Lynnwood home is updated, code-compliant, and built to last.
