Remodeling and home building in Kirkland in King County, WA
Kirkland homes are valuable, and remodeling one well protects that value. TimberCrest Homes renovates kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes and builds ADUs and decks in Kirkland, from the mid-century homes of Finn Hill, Juanita and Kingsgate to houses closer to downtown and the lake.
Kirkland homes
North Kirkland, which joined the city in 2011, is full of 1960s and 1970s ramblers, split-levels and daylight-basement homes. Closer to downtown and Houghton, older homes sit on valuable lots where owners weigh a remodel against a rebuild. Either way, a thoughtful remodel can modernize a home without losing the neighborhood scale people like.
What these homes often need
- Whole-home remodels of mid-century homes
- ADUs, attached or detached
- High-end kitchen and bathroom remodels
- Deck rebuilds and outdoor living
Permits in Kirkland
The City of Kirkland issues its own permits and has detailed rules for tree retention and, near Lake Washington, the shoreline. Plans are reviewed carefully, so complete drawings save time. We prepare permit sets with the engineering each project needs and track them through review.

Kirkland questions
Should I remodel or rebuild my Kirkland home?
It depends on the house's condition, what you want from it and your budget. A remodel keeps the foundation and much of the structure, which usually saves money and permit time; a rebuild makes sense when the house can't be adapted. We'll walk through both with you and give you numbers to compare.
Can I add an ADU in Kirkland?
On most residential lots, yes, attached or detached, and Washington's ADU law has widened the options. Lot size, setbacks and trees decide what fits. In 2026 a new ADU usually costs $200,000 to $400,000.
