Sehome's 1910s-to-1960s bungalows sit close to Western's campus, and a lot of our work here ties into rental conversions and ADU projects. Basement and kitchen gut-outs ahead of an added unit are the bread and butter, clearing out old finishes, walls, and fixtures so the new space can be built. These are older homes, so the regulated steps matter.
Most of these bungalows predate 1980, so we schedule the required asbestos and lead survey before any demo that disturbs material, and we coordinate the permit where the work needs one. We protect what you are keeping, control dust around tenants or neighbors, and haul everything off cleanly.
