What We Remodel
Remodeling Services for Lynnwood Homes
Whole-Home Remodeling
Renovate several connected rooms, layouts and finishes under one coordinated plan.
Kitchen Remodeling + Custom Cabinets

Kitchens + Cabinetry
Kitchen Remodeling and Custom Cabinets in Lynnwood
A kitchen remodel should change how the room works, not only how it looks. Cabinet sizes affect appliance locations, countertops, plumbing, electrical outlets, lighting and walking clearances, so CHC Remodel plans them together from the start.
Cabinets and countertops are coordinated as one decision. Planning can include a larger island, pantry storage, deep drawers, pull-outs, appliance integration and built-ins sized to the room rather than to standard catalog dimensions.

Connected Planning
Whole-Home Remodeling in Lynnwood
When several rooms need work, one coordinated renovation usually makes more sense than a series of separate projects. A whole-house remodel can combine the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, storage, interior finishes and layout changes.
Planning it together helps transitions between rooms and catches conflicts early. A new kitchen layout, for example, can affect wall openings, plumbing, flooring and the living area next to it.
Bathrooms often belong in the same scope. Plumbing, waterproofing, tile and ventilation are easier to sequence when they are planned with the rest of the house.
More Living Space
More Space: Basements and Room Additions
A finished basement can turn underused square footage into a family room, home office, guest space or media room. Moisture control, ceiling height, egress and lighting decide what the lower level can become.
When the existing footprint is not enough, a room addition can add a bedroom, primary suite or larger living area. An addition has to tie into the existing structure, roof, utilities and circulation, which is where engineering and design planning matter most.
Layout Changes
Opening Up Your Floor Plan
Many homeowners want a kitchen that connects to the living area, a wider opening between rooms or a reworked layout. Removing a wall is a structural decision first. It may carry loads from above, and it can hide wiring, plumbing or ductwork.
For Lynnwood interior remodels that involve structural changes, the City asks for structural drawings stamped by a Washington-licensed engineer. CHC Remodel’s CEO is a structural engineer, so structural questions are part of planning from the start, not an afterthought.
Check Your Jurisdiction
A Lynnwood Address Is Not Always the City of Lynnwood
Many properties with a Lynnwood mailing address sit outside city limits in unincorporated Snohomish County. That changes who issues the permits and which rules apply.
Before permits are planned
The City provides a “Do I Live in Lynnwood” map for checking an address. CHC Remodel confirms the property’s actual jurisdiction before planning permits, so the project starts with the right authority.

Permits
Remodeling Permits in Lynnwood
Inside city limits, the City of Lynnwood handles building, plumbing and mechanical permits through its Online Permit Center. Residential remodels often need several permit types, depending on the scope.
Some small projects are exempt, including painting, fences under six feet and decks of 200 square feet or less. CHC Remodel reviews which permits apply during planning, before construction is scheduled.
Lynnwood issues its own electrical permits
Unlike many nearby cities, Lynnwood also issues its own electrical permits and inspections for work inside city limits, rather than Washington State Labor & Industries. Electrical permits are submitted separately before residential plan review begins.

After moving to Kirkland, I decided to do a full home remodel. This professional team impressed me with their organization and attention to detail. They finished the job within the correct timeline, actually even sooner and always oversaw their crew’s work, checking every detail. I didn’t even need to double-check anything because they were so accurate. The results are excellent, and my home feels brand new. Thanks guys!

Siamak did an excellent job in remodeling our house in Redmond. It was major one which included removing a wall to make it a great room, removed pop corn ceiling, added brand new kitchen, cabinet installation, backsplash, new flooring, carpet in bedroom area, bathroom remodeling, interior and exterior painting and added a sliding back door to the yard. Recommended good quality materials with reasonable price. Overall very good work!!!

I recently hired Contemporary Home Construction for a bathroom remodel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. They helped me choose the perfect design, kept me updated throughout the process, and finished on schedule.

CHC restored our first floor after damage from an external flood had been mitigated. CHC replaced and painted new drywall and baseboards, installed new carpeting, and hauled away the disposables. CHC is friendly, efficient, and timely.

CHC turned our underused garage into a beautiful guest suite. The design blended seamlessly with the rest of the house, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. We’ve already recommended them to family and friends

I don’t leave reviews unless they’re very positive or very negative… My experience with CHC and Siamak were far better than I expected going into this project. I had a few estimates where companies were trying to take advantage of me (or very poor estimators) as they were 5x the proposal CHC provided. Siamak was a great communicator, timely in responses, helped provide suggestions to make the project as cost effective as possible while maintaining my vision. His team was very respectful and did a tremendous job. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

Common Questions
Lynnwood Remodeling FAQs
Is my Lynnwood address inside city limits?
Not necessarily. Many properties with a Lynnwood address are in unincorporated Snohomish County. The City’s “Do I Live in Lynnwood” map shows whether an address is inside city limits, which determines who handles the permits.
Who issues electrical permits for a Lynnwood remodel?
For properties inside city limits, the City of Lynnwood issues electrical permits and conducts the inspections. That is different from many nearby cities, where electrical permits come from Washington State Labor & Industries.
Does a whole-house remodel need engineered drawings?
Only when the scope requires it. If the remodel changes structural elements such as walls, beams or shear walls, the City asks for structural drawings stamped by a Washington-licensed engineer. Cosmetic updates do not need them.
Should we finish the basement or add a room?
It depends on the house and how you plan to use the space. A basement uses square footage you already have, while an addition can put new rooms exactly where you need them. Both can be compared during the existing-home review.
Can you coordinate cabinets and countertops in a kitchen remodel?
Yes. Cabinet dimensions, countertop layout, sink and appliance locations, and backsplash are planned together so everything fits and lines up before installation begins.
Do small projects like painting or a low deck need a permit in Lynnwood?
Some do not. The City lists painting, fences under six feet and decks of 200 square feet or less among exempt work. Larger or structural projects usually need permits, so check the City’s exempt work list for your specific scope.
