Remodeling & Deck Building in Sandpoint, ID

A lot of the remodel work we do in Sandpoint is about bringing an older home up to the way you live now without erasing what makes it feel like yours. That usually means keeping the proportions and the woodwork that give a place its character, and updating the parts that have aged out — drafty windows, tired doors, worn trim, a kitchen that no longer flows, a bath that's ready for a refresh.

Windows and doors are often the first move on an older Sandpoint home. Original single-pane units and aging doors let a lot of heat escape through a long winter, and replacing them with cold-rated units — properly flashed and insulated — tightens the whole house up. We talk through style and glass so the new units fit the look of the home rather than fighting it. See our windows and doors page for how that work goes.

Trim and finish carpentry are where the character either survives or gets lost. Matching an existing profile, hanging doors so they sit right in older openings, and replacing base and casing that's been painted over one too many times — that detail work is what keeps an older home feeling like itself. Our finish carpentry and trim page covers the range of that work.

Kitchens and baths in older Sandpoint homes often need a thoughtful touch. Layouts that made sense decades ago can be opened up, and finishes can be updated while we respect the era of the house. If a kitchen or bath remodel involves plumbing or electrical changes, we'll talk through how that part of the work is handled during your estimate.

When a project is inside the Sandpoint city limits, permits go through the City of Sandpoint. That's true for a lot of the work we do here — decks, structural changes, window and door openings that get resized, and larger remodels. We're familiar with what the city looks at, and we talk through what your project will need before we start.

If you're not sure whether your home is inside city limits or out in unincorporated Bonner County, that's a quick thing to sort out on the first call, and it changes which office handles the permit. Either way, you get a clear written scope that includes what's needed for your project.
