A 1949 two-story house in North Seattle — new engineered roof, a complete electrical system and a full second-floor remodel with a brand-new bathroom. Sixteen weeks, one fixed price.
A large tree fell on this two-story home, crushing the roof, snapping a window header, exposing the framing to the weather and knocking out the electrical system. The owner needed the entire house restored — safely, and to a standard a buyer would trust.
Evercrest handled it end to end: emergency stabilization, a brand-new engineered roof, a complete electrical system from the meter in, and a full remodel of the second floor including a new bathroom. Sixteen weeks later the home was market-ready — every floor rebuilt, refinished and staged.
An emergency tarp kept the weather out while our crew and an independent structural engineer assessed the roof. The framing was displaced, insulation was down and a main window header had snapped. Tap any photo to enlarge.
An 11-sheet architectural set with structural roof framing was drawn, engineer-reviewed and approved by the City of Seattle before the rebuild started — elevations, a full cross-section and the new engineered-truss roof framing. Tap any sheet to enlarge.
Pre-fabricated engineered trusses, a hip roof under Class A asphalt shingles and R-60 insulation replaced the crushed structure outright. Outside, restored siding and fresh landscaping brought the 1949 home back to full curb appeal.
The main floor was opened up and refinished — hardwood floors flowing wall to wall, a fireplace anchoring the living room, and a warm wood kitchen with a farmhouse sink and stainless appliances open to the dining room.
Where the roof came down, the second floor was rebuilt from the studs — new framing and header, insulation, drywall, floors, doors and trim — including the room where the header snapped, now a bright, fully finished bedroom.
A floating vanity under a round mirror, a marble-look shower and tub with matte-black fixtures — plus a refreshed powder room with a pedestal sink and beadboard. Tap any photo to enlarge.
The lower level became a bright family and rec room, and a new staircase ties all three levels together — the home finished on every floor, ready for market.
One licensed crew carried the house from emergency tarp to a staged, market-ready home — with the engineer's inspection, the City of Seattle permit and every inspection along the way.
Engineered where it had to be, finished where it shows — every system replaced, not patched.
A tree on the roof is the worst day a house can have. Here is how this North Seattle project put each worry to rest.
Stabilization first — tarping and securing the structure so no more water gets in — then assessment and a full written scope. On this project the roof was tarped, an independent structural engineer inspected it, and the rebuild started from there.
Yes. We photograph everything, coordinate an independent WA-licensed engineer's inspection and provide an itemized scope of work — the documentation an insurer needs to evaluate the claim.
The whole house. Evercrest is a licensed general contractor: here we replaced the entire roof system, the full electrical system with a new meter and panel, repaired the structure and remodeled the second floor with a brand-new bathroom.
Yes. Evercrest serves Sand Point, Matthews Beach, Wedgwood, View Ridge, Lake City, Ravenna and Laurelhurst — across North Seattle and King County.
From emergency tarp to a market-ready home — the roof, the structure, the electrical and the interior, one licensed Seattle team.
