Remodeling Homes to Work Better for You

Remodeling and Renovation Services in Gig Harbor

Older homes in Gig Harbor often include layouts that no longer match how families use their space, finishes that show decades of wear, and systems that need updating to meet current performance standards. Remodeling means working within existing walls while improving function, durability, and visual appeal without tearing down the entire structure.

Icon Consulting & Construction, Inc. handles whole-home and partial remodeling projects with structured planning that coordinates demolition, framing, mechanical updates, and finish installation. The work includes addressing outdated wiring, plumbing, and insulation while improving layout and flow. Projects are common in older neighborhoods throughout Mason County, most of Kitsap County, and some of Pierce County, where homes were built decades ago and now need thoughtful updates.

What Happens During a Remodeling Project

The process begins with evaluating your home in Gig Harbor to identify structural issues, outdated systems, and spaces that no longer serve your needs. You receive a plan that outlines demolition, framing changes, mechanical upgrades, and finish selections, along with a timeline that accounts for permits and inspections.

Once work begins, you will see walls opened to expose framing and wiring, old fixtures removed, and new systems installed to current code. The result is a home that functions better, uses energy more efficiently, and includes finishes that hold up under daily use without constant maintenance.

Icon Consulting & Construction, Inc. coordinates all trades and inspections, so you are not managing multiple contractors or tracking down permits on your own. Remodeling services are available in surrounding cities, and the work includes everything from single-room updates to full-home renovations that change layout, improve insulation, and modernize mechanical systems.

Why is durability emphasized in material selection?
Durable materials reduce the need for repairs and replacements over time, especially in wet climates where moisture exposure accelerates wear. Selecting finishes and components that hold up under use means lower long-term maintenance costs.
