$18,000
typical Seattle range
Typical ranges for Seattle-area single-family homes, built from local cost data and public permit valuations. Every job differs — always get three itemized bids and verify the contractor's WA license (L&I) and insurance. Estimates only, not a bid.

1Get three itemized bids — labor, materials, permits, and haul-away broken out. A single lump sum hides scope gaps.
2Verify the license and insurance on the WA L&I contractor lookup. Unlicensed work can void your insurance and complicate a future sale.
3Suspiciously low bids usually mean missing scope, change orders later, or uninsured labor — treat them as red flags, not bargains.
4If the project needs a permit, make sure the contractor pulls it. Unpermitted work surfaces at inspection when you sell.
