By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

A kitchen remodel in Seattle can drag on for months if you pick wrong, which is why the renovation contractors below are worth vetting on more than a glossy portfolio photo. Between them these have logged over 400 reviews, and every single one sits at a 4.8 rating or higher, so the real differentiator is what each one actually specializes in, not whether the work is any good.

Short answer: Iconiq Construction leads with a perfect 5.0 across 105 reviews and a strong reputation for full bathroom and kitchen remodels. Sea Renovation (5.0, 91 reviews) is known for whole-home transformations, and Build-Up Construction (5.0, 61 reviews) gets consistent praise for kitchens and decks. Renovation costs in Seattle vary widely by scope, so get itemized quotes from at least two contractors before committing.

How we score these contractors

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually rated the business, weighted against others in Seattle. Confidence combines rating and volume so a handful of five-star reviews doesn’t outrank a deeper track record. Recency checks how current the review activity is. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a renovation cost in Seattle? (2026)

Renovation pricing depends heavily on scope, whether it’s a single room or a whole-home project, and the materials chosen. None of the contractors on this page published specific rates we could verify, so get itemized quotes for your exact project before comparing.

Serving all of Seattle

These renovation contractors work across Seattle, from Ballard and Green Lake to South Lake Union and West Seattle, and most travel to whichever neighborhood the project is in. If you’re searching for renovation contractors near me in Seattle, each of these serves the broader metro area.

What to ask before you hire a renovation contractor

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington state?
Can I see a detailed written estimate and payment schedule?
Who will be on-site day to day, and who is my main point of contact?
How do you handle change orders once work has started?
What’s your typical timeline for a project this size?
Do you coordinate directly with subcontractors like electricians and flooring installers?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these renovation contractors?

We pulled real Google ratings, review counts, and review text for renovation contractors serving Seattle, then ranked them on rating, review volume, and recency of activity.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do I need separate permits for a renovation in Seattle?

Most structural, electrical, and plumbing work requires permits from the city. Ask your contractor whether they pull permits directly or expect you to handle it.

How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel take?

Timelines vary by scope, but reviewers on this page describe projects ranging from a few weeks for a bathroom to several months for whole-home work.

The bottom line

Iconiq Construction is the safe default for kitchen and bathroom remodels given its size and consistency. If your project spans multiple trades or the whole house, Sea Renovation and Fuller Living Construction are both built for that scale. Get at least two itemized quotes before signing anything.
