Renovating a Kirkland home
Kirkland is a largely residential city, and many of its houses are split-levels and two-storey family homes now ready for their first or second major update. The projects we see most often here are opening up a closed kitchen to the living area, turning a basement into usable living space, and replacing original windows to cut heating costs.
In a split-level, a kitchen opening often means moving or reinforcing a load-bearing wall. We assess the structure before quoting, so the price you get covers any beam work and the engineer’s plans that may be needed.
Permits in Kirkland
Kirkland is an independent city, so permits are issued by the City of Kirkland’s urban planning department, not by the City of Montreal. Interior work that changes the structure, plumbing layout or the use of a room generally needs a permit, and so do window and door replacements that change the size of an opening. We prepare the application and the drawings and coordinate the inspections with the city.
Bathroom renovation in Kirkland
We remodel complete bathrooms in Kirkland: removing the old fixtures, updating plumbing and electrical, waterproofing the shower, then tiling, vanity, toilet, lighting and ventilation. We also convert bathtubs to walk-in showers, add a second bathroom or powder room, and redo tub surrounds when a full remodel isn’t needed.
- One contractor for demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling and finishing
- Waterproofing behind tile and a properly vented fan, so the room stays dry
- A written estimate and schedule before work begins

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen in Kirkland?
If you are only replacing cabinets and countertops in the same layout, usually not. If walls, plumbing or electrical circuits move, a permit from the City of Kirkland is normally required. We confirm this with the city before work starts.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most full kitchen renovations take four to eight weeks of work on site, plus time beforehand for design, ordering cabinets and getting the permit.
Can you finish a basement that has had moisture problems?
Yes. We find and fix the source of the moisture first, whether that means exterior waterproofing, a French drain or a sump pump, and then insulate and finish with materials suited to basements.
