Home remodeling in Bothell.

Bothell’s ’80s and ’90s subdivision homes have solid bones, good lots, and floor plans drawn for a different decade — kitchens walled off from the life of the house, builder-grade baths, rooms that don’t match how the family actually lives. Go Far Construction remodels Bothell homes whole: kitchens, baths, systems, and living spaces in one coordinated project, from a family-owned, licensed Washington general contractor based fifteen minutes west in Lynnwood.

Straddling the King–Snohomish county line with a revived Main Street and some of the region’s fastest household growth, Bothell has become a remodel-and-stay market — and its housing stock is built for it. A whole-home remodel here usually means opening the main floor so the kitchen joins the living space, rebuilding the builder-grade baths with real waterproofing, and refreshing finishes throughout so the house reads as one home instead of a decade of one-off projects that never quite match.

On budget: a full interior remodel — kitchen, bathrooms, and the main living spaces reworked together — typically lands between roughly $100 and $250 per square foot in this market, so a 2,000-square-foot home usually falls somewhere in the low-to-mid six figures. A down-to-the-studs renovation that moves walls and replaces systems runs $250 to $400+ per square foot. Our whole-home remodel cost guide breaks the ranges down, our remodel ROI guide covers which projects hold their value, and our financing guide walks through how owners fund projects this size. Every project gets an itemized written estimate before demolition.

Every remodel is permitted through the City of Bothell — whichever side of the county line you’re on, building permits run through the city — and we prepare and track the application, carry fees in an itemized written estimate, and meet every inspector on site, as on all our Bothell projects. It’s the same stock we work in on our Bothell kitchen remodeling and Bothell bathroom remodeling projects. If the plan calls for a rental unit instead, our Bothell ADU & DADU page covers backyard cottages up to 1,200 square feet; for more square footage, see Bothell home additions.

Bothell home remodeling questions

How much does a whole-home remodel cost in Bothell?

A full interior remodel — kitchen, bathrooms, and main living spaces reworked together — typically runs roughly $100 to $250 per square foot in this market, so a 2,000-square-foot home usually lands in the low-to-mid six figures. A down-to-the-studs renovation that moves walls and replaces systems runs $250 to $400+ per square foot. Every project gets an itemized written estimate before any work begins.

Can we live in the house during a Bothell remodel?

It depends on scope. Owners often stay through phased work that tackles the house one zone at a time; a full down-to-the-studs renovation usually means moving out for the heaviest months, because the kitchen, baths, and systems are all open at once. We sequence the schedule around your situation and tell you honestly, before work begins, which stretches are livable and which are not.

Do I need permits for a remodel in Bothell?

Yes — remodels that move walls, add circuits, or relocate plumbing need permits through the City of Bothell. We prepare and track the application, include fees in your itemized written estimate, and meet every inspector on site.

Are Bothell’s ’80s and ’90s homes worth a full remodel?

Yes — they’re some of the most practical whole-home candidates in the region. The framing is solid, the lots are good, and the systems are reaching mid-life anyway, so remodeling the kitchen, baths, and finishes in one project brings the whole house to a current standard at once — usually for far less than the cost of trading up in this market.
