Remodels in Everett
The work that keeps the pipeline — and your home — moving.
Everett is the county seat and an economic engine — Boeing, the waterfront redevelopment, a growing core. That mix drives demand for townhomes, multifamily, and commercial buildouts, which is where Svensen’s cost control really shows.
Not every great project is a ground-up build. Remodels and additions let us bring the Svensen standard — real materials, clean detailing, accountable craft — to the home you already love.
It is also our steadiest work: the projects that keep our crews sharp and our pipeline full between flagship builds, which is exactly why we treat them with the same care.

Older Everett houses, brought up to how people live now
Everett has a deep stock of solid older homes with plans that no longer match the way anyone lives. Separate kitchen, one bathroom, bedrooms that were generous in 1955 and are not now. The bones are usually good, which is exactly why a remodel here tends to be worth doing.
The work is often a combination: open the main floor, add a bathroom, and either dormer the upstairs or extend at the back for a bedroom. Each of those is straightforward on its own. Sequencing them so the household can stay in the house is the part that takes experience.
Older houses do surprise you, and we would rather find out early than mid-demolition. Knob-and-tube, undersized service, a previous addition framed optimistically. We look for those before pricing so the number we give you is the number, not an opening position.

Remodels in Everett: FAQ
Do you do home additions in Everett?
Yes — additions and second-story builds are some of our steadiest work in Everett. We bring the same materials and craft standard as our ground-up custom homes.
Can I live in my Everett home during the remodel?
Usually, yes. We sequence the work and control dust and access to keep you living in the home wherever the scope allows.
Can you add timber features to my existing Everett home?
Absolutely. Exposed beams, structural openings, and timber feature elements are a natural fit for a Everett remodel — and we mill them ourselves.
Can we stay in the house while you work?
Often, and it changes how we sequence the job. Keeping a kitchen or a bathroom usable through the work takes planning rather than luck, and it is worth deciding up front because it affects the schedule and the price. For some scopes it is genuinely better to move out for a few weeks, and we will say so.
Our house is from the fifties. What might you find?
Usually good bones and a few surprises. Original wiring, a service that was never upgraded, or a previous addition framed with more enthusiasm than skill. We look for those before pricing rather than after demolition, so the number you get holds up.
