How much does a whole home remodel cost in Camas, WA?

Whole-home projects in Camas generally run $150,000 to $500,000+, and the useful way to think about it is per square foot: roughly $75–$150 per sq ft for a cosmetic-to-moderate renovation, and $200–$350+ per sq ft when you are moving walls, replacing systems, or adding square footage. Camas homes commonly sit between 2,000 and 4,000 sq ft, which is why the range is so wide. Every project gets an itemized written estimate broken out by phase after the free consultation.

How long does a whole home remodel take in Camas?

Six to twelve months on site is typical for a full renovation, plus design and permitting before that. Structural work and additions need plans, engineering, and City of Camas plan review — and the city notes review turnaround depends on how many plans are in the queue, so we confirm the current timeline at submittal rather than promising a date. You get a phase-by-phase schedule before demolition, and we tell you when a phase slips and why.

Can I remodel my Camas home in phases instead of all at once?

Yes, and for many Camas homeowners it is the better call. We can sequence a whole-home plan into phases — main level first, then primary suite, then lower level — under one contract with one project manager, so the design decisions stay coordinated even though the money is spread across a longer window. The important part is designing the whole house up front. Phasing without a master plan is how you end up demolishing work you paid for two years earlier.

What permits does a whole home remodel need in Camas?

A full renovation almost always needs a building permit with plan review, plus separate plumbing and mechanical permits, and an electrical permit issued by Washington State L&I rather than the city. Structural changes need engineered plans. Depending on the lot, additions can also trigger land-use review — Camas has critical-area and shoreline regulations that matter around Lacamas Lake and the steeper Prune Hill slopes. Homes outside city limits permit through Clark County instead. We identify every permit your scope needs before you sign anything.

Do you handle hillside and sloped lots in Prune Hill?

Yes. A lot of Camas is built on grade, which shows up in three ways on a whole-home project: daylight and walkout basements that were framed but never properly finished, retaining and foundation conditions that constrain where an addition can go, and access limitations that affect how material and equipment reach the site. On sloped or geologically sensitive lots the city may require a geotechnical report before a structural addition is approved. We flag this at the consultation rather than after you have paid for drawings.

Can we live in the house during a whole home remodel?

Sometimes, and honestly, often you should not. If the work is phased and there is a functioning kitchen and bathroom in the untouched part of the house, staying is workable — we seal off the active zone, run air filtration, and keep to Camas construction hours of 7am–7pm weekdays and 7am–5pm Saturday, with nothing on Sundays. For a full gut with systems replacement, moving out shortens the schedule and lowers the cost, and we will tell you when that is the case.

Which Camas neighborhoods do you remodel in?

All of Camas and the immediate area — Prune Hill, Grass Valley, Lacamas Shores and the Lacamas Lake North Shore, Camas Meadows, Green Mountain, Fern Prairie, Forest Home and downtown Camas, plus neighboring Washougal. The housing stock varies enormously between them, from mill-era downtown homes to 2000s hillside builds, and the right scope for your house depends heavily on which of those you own.

Local Knowledge

Planning a whole-home renovation in Camas

Camas housing stock splits into a few distinct eras, and which one you own determines almost everything about scope, cost and permitting. Here is how we think about it before a single drawing gets made.

Cosmetic to moderate

$75–$150 / sq ft

Flooring, trim, paint, lighting, cabinetry and fixtures throughout. Layout stays as-is. On a 2,400 sq ft Camas home that is roughly $180K–$360K.

Structural & systems

$200–$350+ / sq ft

Walls moved, kitchens and baths relocated, plumbing and electrical replaced, engineered beams. Requires plan review and often a structural engineer.

Additions

Priced separately

New square footage carries its own foundation, envelope and roof costs, plus possible land-use review. On sloped lots, geotechnical work may be required first.

1990s–2000s hillside builds — Prune Hill, Grass Valley, Camas Meadows

Two stories, 2,400–4,000 sq ft, often with a daylight or walkout lower level. The bones are sound; the layout and finishes are what date them.

Formal living and dining rooms nobody uses, opened into the kitchen and family room
Two-story entries and the soffits, bullnose corners and colonial casing of the era
Lower levels framed but never finished — the cheapest square footage you will ever add
Primary suites with garden tubs, ripe for a large walk-in shower conversion

Downtown Camas & Forest Home — the mill-era houses

Smaller, older, and full of character worth keeping. These are the projects where systems work dominates the budget.

Knob-and-tube or early wiring, galvanized supply and cast-iron waste to replace
Insulation and air sealing worth doing while the walls are open
Floors leveled, foundations evaluated, original fir trim matched rather than discarded
Small footprints where a modest, well-designed addition changes everything

Phasing without painting yourself into a corner

Most Camas whole-home clients build in two or three phases. Done right that is a budgeting decision, not a compromise.

Design the entire house up front, then build in stages under one contract
Rough in plumbing and electrical for later phases while walls are already open
Order flooring, tile and paint for the full house so nothing is discontinued mid-project
Sequence so you never demolish work you paid for in an earlier phase

Sloped lots and sensitive areas

A large share of Camas sits on grade or near water, and that shapes what is buildable.

Retaining walls and foundation conditions that constrain where an addition can go
Site access that determines how material and equipment reach the work
Critical-area and shoreline regulations near Lacamas Lake and the steeper slopes
Geotechnical reports sometimes required before a structural addition is approved

Permitting a whole-home project in Camas

A full renovation is not one permit. Expect a building permit with plan review, separate plumbing and mechanical permits, and an electrical permit issued by Washington State L&I rather than the city. Structural changes need engineered plans, and additions can trigger land-use review on top of the building permit.

Homes inside city limits are permitted by the City of Camas Building Division. Addresses in unincorporated Clark County submit through the county's electronic plan review system. We identify the right jurisdiction, assemble the submittal, and carry every inspection as your licensed contractor.

Great experience working with this company. They were professional, responsive, and the quality of their work was solid. They even took the time to treat me to lunch and go over the project details, which I appreciated. Would recommend.

The SERDEN Group did a complete remodel of our two upstairs bathrooms. Every step of the way Dennis, and his team, were communicative, kind, timely, and productive. They worked diligently, caring about the impact of having workers in your home. Everyone was friendly and attended to our creative ideas for the bathrooms. In the end we have two amazing new bathrooms. Our family is grateful for SERDEN and are wonderfully reminded daily of their excellent work. Thank you!

I recently hired Serden Group for a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of their work is outstanding — everything from the tile installation to the cabinetry and finishes looks beautiful and well-crafted. They completed the project on time and within budget, which is rare to find these days. I highly recommend Serden Group to anyone looking for top-quality remodeling work. They truly exceeded my expectations!
