Remodeling Contractor in Port Townsend, WA
When you live in Port Townsend, you know that the same coastal charm that makes this area so special, the salt air, the marine moisture, the historic Victorian architecture, also takes a toll on your home. At Ready Remodeling LLC, we have spent 30 years helping homeowners across the Olympic Peninsula keep their properties safe, functional, and beautiful.
We are a fully licensed, bonded, and insured remodeling contractor (License #READYRL905LD), and we built our reputation on a simple idea: when you call, you should get a real answer from a real expert, not a runaround. When you reach out to us, you speak directly with John Madden. No call centers, no layers of office staff, no waiting days for someone to “get back to you.” Just a straightforward conversation with the person who understands your project and can get you scheduled fast.
Whether you are restoring a historic home near downtown, maintaining a rental property, or finally tackling that bathroom remodel you have been putting off, we bring decades of hands-on experience to every job. We take on the complex repairs and the small practical fixes that other contractors often turn away, because to us, no job is too big or too small.

Bathroom Remodeling and Renovation
Bathrooms in Port Townsend homes face a constant battle against moisture. Between the marine climate and older plumbing systems common in this area, bathrooms are often where hidden problems first show up: soft subfloors, mold behind tile, and ventilation that simply was not designed for today’s usage.
Our bathroom remodeling services include:
- Full design and build services tailored to your home’s layout and style
- Moisture control solutions to prevent mold, mildew, and water damage
- Ventilation upgrades to keep humidity from building up behind walls and under flooring
- Custom tile installation for showers, floors, and backsplashes
- Walk-in tubs and handicap-accessible upgrades that allow homeowners to age in place comfortably and safely
Whether you are updating a small powder room or completely reimagining your primary bathroom, we walk you through every step, from design through finishing details.

Carpentry Services
Port Townsend’s coastal weather is hard on wood, and exterior trim, siding, decks, and structural framing all take the brunt of it. We provide carpentry services designed specifically for the challenges of Olympic Peninsula homes, including:
- Structural framing repairs for sagging floors, weakened supports, and settling issues
- Exterior wood rot and moisture damage repair caused by coastal rain and salt air exposure
- Finish carpentry, including trim, molding, and detailed interior woodwork
If you have noticed soft spots on your porch, deteriorating window trim, or siding that is starting to show its age, these issues tend to get worse (and more expensive) the longer they sit. We can assess the damage, address the root cause, and restore both the function and appearance of the affected areas.

Electrical and Plumbing Repair
Electrical and plumbing issues rarely happen at a convenient time, and they often do not wait for a scheduled appointment. We offer responsive electrical and plumbing repair services for homeowners and property managers throughout Port Townsend, including:
- Troubleshooting for residential electrical updates
- Outlet and switch repairs and replacements
- Leak detection for hidden plumbing issues
- Emergency repairs when you need help fast
For rental property owners, we know that a plumbing or electrical issue left unresolved can quickly become a tenant complaint or a much larger repair bill. We aim to diagnose and fix the problem efficiently, with clear communication along the way.
Professional Underground and Acoustic Leak Detection
One of the most overlooked threats to homes in Western Washington is the “silent” leak: a water line break that occurs underground, often beneath soil or concrete, with no visible sign on the surface until significant damage has already occurred.
Port Townsend’s shifting soils and the mature tree roots common throughout established neighborhoods put constant pressure on buried water lines. A pipe can develop a small crack, and over time, that crack allows water to escape into the surrounding soil. The result can be a spike in your water bill, soggy patches in your yard, or, in more serious cases, foundation damage from prolonged water exposure.
Our underground leak detection services use non-invasive technology, including acoustic sensors and electronic tracking, to “listen” for the specific sound signature of escaping water. This allows us to pinpoint the location of a leak without digging up your entire yard or driveway to find it.
Underground Leak Detection Services
This approach is especially valuable for:
- Preventing foundation damage caused by prolonged, undetected water exposure
- Avoiding unnecessarily high water bills from leaks that go unnoticed for months
- Sewer line evaluation, so we can assess the condition of your sewer line and discuss repair or replacement options before heavy excavation becomes necessary
If you have noticed unexplained increases in your water bill, unusually wet areas in your yard, or simply want peace of mind before a major landscaping project, our leak detection services can help identify problems early, when they are easier and less expensive to fix.
