A small residential remodeling company based in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, Swanberg Carpentry has been in business since 1997. Our service area is the City of Seattle. We can do smaller projects for you that larger contractors may not want to tackle, such as drywall, painting, rot repair, siding and trim, single window retrofits using vinyl or clad windows, and other handyman type tasks. We also do larger additions to homes including kitchens, bathrooms, attic dormers and offices, basement bedrooms and bathrooms, and other related work.
We build new porches and decks, repair old ones, and rebuild structures to suit new purposes. We screw down decking with stainless steel screws that will last a lifetime. In addition to the projects on this page, we have completed more extensive projects that include a deck adjacent to an expanded kitchen and a front porch built as part of a new entryway. Maximize the enjoyment of your home with features that make it yours. This deck is made from Trex decking and the screen from clear cedar with stainless steel screws for a lifetime of service.
Transform your kitchen, bathroom, attic, or basement into a brand new space. We can install beautiful new cabinets, lighting, tile, and appliances. Many older Seattle homes can benefit from replacing older galvanized water lines and knob and tube wiring with new copper and PEX plumbing and Romex wiring. For cozy warmth, we can add in-floor heat under a bathroom tile floor. Oh, what a difference a happy kitchen can make. This improved kitchen has the functional work areas and needed storage space that were lacking before the remodel.
Do you need more space to enlarge a kitchen or to add a new bedroom or bathroom? We can work with your design ideas or with your architect plans to create a beautiful new space, either on the main floor or in the basement or attic. We can also add seismic retrofitting to the basement, bolting the house down to the foundation to safeguard it in the event of an earthquake. Most homes built before 1962 in Seattle do not have any bolt attachments to the foundation. We expanded and remodeled the kitchen in this house and built an additional room as well, providing practical cooking space as well as a comfortable gathering area near the kitchen.
