Renovations in Kirkland
Kirkland lots are tighter and steeper than Bellevue's, which pushes more projects upward rather than outward. Second-storey additions and dormers are a bigger part of what we build here.
What we see in Kirkland houses
1940s to 1960s cottages near the water, 1970s and 1980s two-storeys on the hills.
The permit desk here
Kirkland applies careful review to height, lot coverage and tree retention. Budget an extra correction round on anything that touches the roof line or removes a significant tree.

Ninety minutes in your house. We look at the crawlspace, the attic and the panel before we look at the kitchen, and you leave with a budget band you can plan around.
