Remodeling and home building in Lynnwood in Snohomish County, WA
TimberCrest Homes remodels and builds homes in Lynnwood, a short drive from our base in Snohomish. Much of Lynnwood was built out between the 1950s and the 1980s, so a lot of the work here is bringing split-levels and ramblers up to date: opening closed-off kitchens, redoing original bathrooms and replacing tired decks.
Lynnwood homes
Neighborhoods around Alderwood, Meadowdale and Scriber Lake are full of split-level and rambler homes from the postwar decades. They're solidly built, but many still have their original layouts: a kitchen walled off from the living room, small bathrooms, and decks that have been through decades of Puget Sound rain. Newer townhomes are going up near the light rail station, and owners of older homes on bigger lots are taking a fresh look at what else their property can hold.
What these homes often need
- Opening a split-level kitchen to the living and dining room
- Updating original 1960s and 1970s bathrooms, including what's behind the tile
- Replacing aging decks and stairs with low-maintenance decking and metal railings
- Adding an ADU, or a bedroom and bath, on a larger lot
Permits in Lynnwood
Projects inside city limits are permitted through the City of Lynnwood. But plenty of homes with a Lynnwood mailing address are actually in unincorporated Snohomish County, which has its own permit process and fees. We confirm which one applies to your property before we quote, then pull the permits and book the inspections ourselves.

Lynnwood questions
Is my Lynnwood address in the city or in unincorporated Snohomish County?
Not always the one your mailing address suggests. Areas like Martha Lake and parts of Meadowdale have Lynnwood addresses but sit outside city limits, so Snohomish County issues their permits. We look up your parcel before the estimate, so the schedule and permit costs we give you are for the right office.
Can I add an ADU to my Lynnwood lot?
Often, yes. Washington's newer ADU law (HB 1337) has cities like Lynnwood allow accessory dwelling units on most residential lots, and many of Lynnwood's older lots have room for one. Setbacks, parking, utilities and lot coverage still decide what fits, so we check those on the first visit. In 2026 a new ADU usually costs $200,000 to $400,000.
