Remodeling in
Seattle, WA

Seattle is not an easy place to remodel. The housing stock is old, the lots are steep, the rain is relentless, and the permitting process rewards contractors who have been through it before. Luna Park Construction LLC has worked in this city since 1996 — long enough to know that a Craftsman in Admiral, a mid-century split-level off Delridge and a 1990s townhome in Ballard each hide a different set of problems.

That local knowledge is the whole point of hiring a neighborhood contractor instead of a regional outfit driving down from the north end. We know which permits your project needs, which inspectors want what, and what typically hides behind the plaster in a house of your vintage. It goes into the estimate up front, which is why our numbers tend to hold.

We work throughout Seattle proper and the closest Puget Sound communities. Most of our jobs are within a short drive of the shop:

Not on the list? Call us anyway at 206 396 7362 — if we can get a crew there, we will quote it.

Structural changes, moved plumbing, added circuits and any basement conversion to living space all require permits from Seattle’s Department of Construction & Inspections. As your general contractor we file, schedule and carry the project through inspection. Unpermitted work is a resale problem you inherit, and we will not create one for you.

Knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized supply lines are routine finds in pre-1950 Seattle homes. Both are far cheaper to address while walls are already open, and both get flagged during the walkthrough rather than discovered mid-project.

Seattle basements need drainage, vapor control and proper insulation detailing before anyone hangs drywall — otherwise the finish work fails within a few winters. Bathrooms need real waterproofing membranes and exterior-vented fans, not a fan that dumps into the attic. We build for the climate we are standing in.

Much of West Seattle sits on slope. Additions, decks and foundation work on grade often need engineering and specific footing details. We plan for it instead of discovering it at inspection.
