Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Battle Ground, WA

Most of the remodel work in Battle Ground is the first remodel a house has ever had. The subdivisions that went up through the nineties and two thousands are now twenty five to thirty years old, and that is exactly when the original builder-grade kitchen and the original bathrooms stop being worth keeping.

The kitchens in that housing stock were built to a price. Cabinet boxes with particleboard shelves that have started to sag, laminate counters, and a layout built around appliances that were standard then and are not now. The framing behind them is modern, consistent and predictable, which is the good news, because it means the money goes into the kitchen instead of into surprises. It also means the timeline is more reliable than it would be on an older house.

The single most requested bathroom change in these houses is getting rid of the big corner soaking tub. They were in every master bath built in that era and almost nobody uses them. Converting that footprint to a proper walk in shower is a good job and it is not simply a swap. The drain moves, the floor gets built to slope correctly, and the waterproofing under the tile is the part that decides whether it is still good in fifteen years. That is done properly or it is done twice.

The other common one is the layout that was never quite right. A kitchen half open to a family room with a bulkhead or a peninsula where an island belongs. Whether the wall or the bulkhead is structural gets determined before demo. In houses of this age the answer is often that it is not, which makes for a bigger visual change than most people expect for the cost.

Out on the acreage side, houses go from that same era back to much older, and the older ones bring the usual questions about the wiring and the supply lines. Well and septic are common out there too, and adding fixtures rather than replacing them is a different conversation because of what the drain field was designed for. That gets checked before anything is promised. Electrical and plumbing go to licensed trades. The carpentry, the tile and the running of the job are mine.

Save yourself the wait

Send me photos of the room and rough dimensions and tell me what you want changed. If it is the corner tub you want gone, say so and I will lay out what fits in that footprint.

Kitchen & Bath Remodeling questions in Battle Ground

Can you replace my corner garden tub with a walk-in shower?

Yes, and it is the most requested bathroom change in Battle Ground. It is not a swap. The drain moves, the floor is built to slope, and the waterproofing goes in as a system under the tile.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Battle Ground, WA?

On a 1990s or 2000s house the framing is predictable, so the money goes into the kitchen instead of repairs. Cabinets, counters and whether the bulkhead or wall comes out drive it. Send photos and dimensions for a layout and a written number.

Can you take out the bulkhead over my kitchen cabinets?

Usually. In houses of that age it is often not structural. That gets confirmed before demo, and it is a bigger visual change than most people expect for the cost.

Do you replace sagging particleboard cabinets?

Yes. New cabinets and counters, and the carpentry to make them fit the room you want instead of the room the builder drew.

Do you remodel bathrooms on acreage with well and septic?

Yes. Replacing fixtures is straightforward. Adding fixtures is a drain field question that gets checked first. Hard well water is worth treating before new tile and glass go in.
