Living room taken down to the subfloor and finished.
Most remodel horror stories start with a vague scope
Seattle homes are often 60–100 years old. Without a clear plan, what’s inside the walls turns a remodel into an open-ended bill.
No written scope or fixed price
“Time and materials” with no itemized plan means you find out the real cost at the end.
Too many subcontractors
When framing, drywall, flooring and paint are all different crews, each one waits for the last.
Walls removed without a plan
Removing load-bearing walls or adding rooms without engineering and permits causes trouble at inspection and resale.
Finishes over old problems
New floors over a sagging subfloor and drywall over rot look good for a year, then fail.

What Seattle-area homeowners say after the job
Very professional, excellent work ethic, clean job site, great staff, and nothing changed on the agreement on price. The quality of the work was perfect.
Roof vents, meeting code for crawl space, painting deck and a bunch of other work. Responsive and demonstrate huge ownership of their work. Hard to find such contractors.
Project was completed quickly and on budget. They refaced a dated fireplace and installed two picture windows. Really high quality job in record time.
I was especially impressed by how thoroughly they protected the floors before getting started. Once the job was complete, they left the place spotless.

What homeowners ask before booking
How much does it cost to remodel a house in Seattle?
A whole-house remodel in Seattle typically costs $150–$350 per square foot depending on scope and finishes. Smaller interior updates of 1–3 rooms often run $15,000–$50,000, and basement finishing $40,000–$100,000. We give you a fixed, itemized price after a free walkthrough.
How long does a whole-house remodel take?
Most whole-house remodels take 3–6 months of construction, plus time for design, engineering and permits. Smaller interior projects take 2–5 weeks.
Do I need a permit to remodel my house in Seattle?
Permits are usually required for structural changes, new or moved plumbing and electrical, additions and basement conversions into living space. Cosmetic updates like paint and flooring usually do not. We pull the permits your project needs.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall?
Yes. We work with an engineer to size the beam, pull the permit, and our own crew does the framing, drywall and floor patching.
Can I live in my home during the remodel?
Often, yes. We phase the work, contain dust and keep at least part of the home usable. For full gut remodels, many clients move out for part of the project.
Are you a general contractor?
Yes. We are a registered Washington general contractor and manage the whole project, including coordinating licensed plumbers and electricians.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. The walkthrough and written estimate are free and yours to keep.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Inreal Construction is registered as INREAL INC with Washington State L&I, contractor registration #INREAI*784MG, with a $30,000 contractor bond and $1M/$2M general liability insurance.
