Lakeside Home Renovation in Houghton, WA

A retired couple in Houghton had spent decades enjoying their lakefront home’s breathtaking views of Lake Washington, but the interior hadn’t kept pace with their vision for retirement living. Their 1980s kitchen felt cramped and outdated, the master bathroom lacked the spa-like retreat they dreamed of, and the deck, despite its prime waterfront location, was showing serious signs of wear with splintering wood and faded stain. They wanted to age in place gracefully, transforming their beloved Houghton home into a modern sanctuary that would carry them through their golden years while maximizing those stunning lakeshore views they’d cherished for so long.

Gold Remodeling designed a comprehensive whole-home renovation that opened up the kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large island perfect for entertaining visiting grandchildren. We transformed their master bathroom into a luxurious oasis with a walk-in shower, heated floors, and a soaking tub positioned to capture lake views. The aging deck was completely rebuilt using premium Trex composite decking that would never need staining again, with integrated lighting and glass railings that preserved their panoramic water views.

The project took four months, and throughout the process, our team maintained clear communication and kept the lakeside property immaculate. The couple now hosts family gatherings in their stunning new kitchen and starts every morning watching the sunrise over Lake Washington from their beautiful new deck. Their Houghton home is finally the retirement haven they’d always imagined.
