Remodeling Bellingham’s Historic and Established Homes
Bellingham is full of character homes: Craftsman bungalows, older Victorians, and mid-century houses in neighborhoods like Columbia, Sehome, Happy Valley, and Silver Beach. These homes are worth preserving, but they often hide outdated wiring, plumbing, and framing behind the walls. We remodel them with the care they deserve, updating systems to code while keeping their character.
What Older Bellingham Homes Hide
A 1920s Craftsman in Columbia or an older home in Fairhaven looks solid from the street. The trouble is behind the plaster, and it is remarkably consistent:
- Knob-and-tube wiring, often partially replaced by a previous owner and spliced in ways that will not pass inspection
- Galvanized supply plumbing narrowed by corrosion until the upstairs shower barely runs
- No insulation, or insulation added decades ago in a way that now traps moisture in the wall
- Undersized or missing headers over openings someone widened without a permit
- Balloon framing, which changes how fire blocking and structural work have to be handled
None of this is a reason to avoid remodeling these houses. It is a reason not to accept a fixed-price bid from someone who never opened a wall. We scope older homes with the unknowns accounted for, and we show you what we find before we spend your money on it.

Bellingham Remodeling FAQ
How do you price a remodel when you cannot see behind the walls?
Carefully, and in the open. We price the work we can see as firm scope. For the parts we cannot see until demolition, we identify the likely risks during the estimate and set a contingency for them rather than burying a guess in the base number.
If we open a wall and find rot, failed wiring, or framing that has to be corrected, we stop, document it, show you, and price the repair before we proceed. You approve it or you do not. A fixed-price bid on an older home from a contractor who never investigated is not a lower price. It is the same price with the surprises hidden until you have already committed.
Do you remodel older and historic Bellingham homes?
Yes. Older Bellingham homes are a specialty. We plan for the surprises that come with Craftsman and vintage houses and bring systems up to current code.
