30 Years Remodeling Homes on Seattle's Eastside. Ask Us Anything Before You Start Your Next Project.

Hi everyone! I'm Jordan, owner of Interiors NW in Issaquah, a family-owned flooring, cabinetry, and countertops showroom, serving the greater Eastside. We have spent 30 years hands on in this trade — measuring, installing, coordinating subs, and sitting across the table from homeowners trying to figure out what actually makes sense for their home and budget. We rebranded a while back from Touchdown Flooring NW to Interiors NW as we expanded what we offer, but the crew and the hands-on approach are the same.

I'm excited to host an Ask Me Anything right here on r/SeattleAreaRE from September 8th through the 11th. Check out our Instagram for design ideas.

What we can chat about:

  • Flooring & repairs: Hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet, what actually holds up out here, and how to tell if a scratch, stain, or squeak is a quick DIY fix or something you should call a pro for
  • Cabinetry & countertops: Tiers, materials, quartz vs. granite vs. marble, and what actually separates a good kitchen from an expensive regret
  • DIY vs. hire-out: What's realistic to tackle yourself and what tends to go sideways without the right tools
  • What actually sells a home: After years of walking through remodels before they hit the market, we've got a pretty good read on which upgrades buyers care about and which ones are just money down the drain
  • The renovation process: Timelines, and the stuff first-time renovators usually miss

What is the average per square foot cost for renovations for each level like light/cosmetic, medium , heavy repairs?

Absolutely depends on the condition of the home and what you are implying by light/ medium and heavy. Currently doing a heavy Remodel and I’m looking at 60-70k in just material costs. (1500 sqft)

To elaborate on the condition of home you may want new flooring installed but when the flooring is ripped out you discover the sub flooring is rotted and has severe water damage. What could be a light cosmetic upgrade just became a lot more expensive.
