North Kirkland’s
Working Heart.
Eyewitness account: the hills above the wetland and the village — 1960s–80s ramblers and splits holding their ground while the cranes work below. The original homes are not going anywhere; their owners are updating instead of moving, and that is our whole trade.

What Totem Lake Homes Actually Need.
Exhibit A · The Housing Stock
1960s–80s ramblers and split-levels on the hills above the wetland — original systems, solid bones, owners updating rather than moving.
Exhibit B · What Tends to Fail
Crawlspace moisture near the wetland, original panels and water heater closets, under-sized bath ventilation, and aging decks and fences.
Exhibit C · Jobs We Do Here
Bath fans and ventilation, panel and outlet work, fixture swaps, drywall repair, deck and fence triage — the update list, sequenced sensibly.
Exhibit D · Getting to You
Totem Lake anchors the north end of the Kirkland leg — grouped with Juanita and Rose Hill along the 124th corridor.

Do you serve Totem Lake, or just downtown Kirkland?
Totem Lake specifically — it anchors the north end of our Kirkland runs, grouped with Juanita and Rose Hill. The residential hills above the village are exactly our kind of streets.
Why does my crawlspace always smell damp?
You live above a wetland — vapor pressure is a fact of the terrain, not a defect in your house. The fix is ventilation and drainage done right: proper fans, corrected downspouts, and airflow where the builders skipped it. Assessment is free.
