Jackson Remodeling

Jackson Remodeling - Designing and Building healthy, comfortable, efficient renovations in Seattle since 1999.  We specialize in Seattle's vintage homes, working mostly on houses built between 1900 and 1930.  We are based in Ballard, and serve homes within Seattle city limits, Mercer Island, and Shoreline.  Our main service area encompasses Ballard, Phinney Ridge, Queen Anne, Wallingford, Magnolia, Green Lake, Ravenna, Crown Hill, Capitol Hill, Montlake, Wedgwood, Broadview, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Our mission:  to provide each one of our clients with an exceptional remodeling experience. A project is only a success when every interaction our client has with our team members (employees, trades people, office staff) is a positive experience.  Of course we do beautiful work as well - but so do many of our colleagues.  We strive to differentiate ourselves by our service: our communication, our personal attention, our timeliness, by honoring your budget, clean work areas, and otherwise treating you and your home with care and respect.  Of course, we do beautiful work, too.

Design/Build Remodeling Works!

Our design/build concept is a departure from the "old" way of doing things - hiring an architect to draw the plans, then putting the plans out for bid and hope that contractors can build it for something close to your budget.

Design/Build remodeling is one-stop shopping for design and construction. You work with us for the entire project, from concept to completion. We provide "real-world" pricing information, timely feedback on the budget effect of decisions you make, and help you design your project to get the most "bang for your buck".

Green Remodeling


What is "green remodeling"? Is it using materials that don't deplete our old-growth forests? Is it applying methods that re-use and recycle as much material as possible, and minimize the waste going into landfills? Is it paying close attention to energy use, incorporating insulation and efficient appliances to lower the ongoing energy consumption of the home? Is it ensuring a healthy indoor environment for the residents, visitors and workers of the structure? Green remodeling is all of these and more...

Our Service Area


We specialize in renovating the vintage homes of older Seattle neighborhoods.  We pride ourselves on exceptional service and minimizing our environmental impact - for these reasons we have decided to limit our work area to include only Seattle addresses north of Yesler street. 

Besides Queen Anne and Ballard, we also focus on Phinney Ridge, Wallingford, Fremont, Magnolia, Green Lake, Crown Hill, and Ravenna.  We happily work on single family homes in the following zip codes:  98102, 98103, 98105, 98107, 98109, 98112, 98115, 98117, 98119, 98122, 98125, 98133, 98177, and 98199. 

Sorry, we do not work on condominiums or townhomes.

If you reside outside of our service area, we may be able to recommend a like-minded quality remodeler who works in your neighborhood.  Call us and we'll see if we can recommend someone.

While we confine our remodeling to Seattle city limits, Sound Seismic retrofits homes in most of King County and Snohomish County.
