ARES-Advanced Restoration Environmental Services

Pre-Sale Home Glow Up ✨

What started as a simple kitchen refresh turned into a major win for this homeowner getting ready to sell. Hidden mold caused by moisture issues was discovered behind the cabinets—but ARES stepped in to tackle the problem the right way.

Our local mitigation partners addressed the source of moisture and safely treated the mold. ARES then helped the homeowner with a plan to restore the space with smart, budget-friendly solutions. Instead of full replacements, we rebuilt three cabinet boxes, repaired drywall, and upgraded finishes throughout.

The pre sale home glow up included:
✔️ Modern solid surface countertops (kitchen + 3 baths)
✔️ Fresh paint on walls & ceilings
✔️ New LVP flooring on the main level
✔️ Quality carpet upstairs

The result? A cleaner, safer, and beautifully updated home that’s ready to hit the market—without unnecessary expenses.

Smart upgrades. Bigger impact. Better return. 💰

When a homeowner in Federal Way experienced a kitchen water line leak that left their hardwood floors and walls demolished, they felt stuck—dealing with insurance delays and a contractor who stopped returning calls.

ARES Remodeling & Insurance Repairs stepped in to move the process forward.

Our team confirmed the proper scope and value with the insurance company, restored the solid wood cabinets by carefully matching the grain and finish, and installed beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the main level. With clear communication and skilled craftsmanship, ARES completed both the insurance repairs and homeowner-selected upgrades—getting them back into their kitchen before the holidays.

Water damage is stressful. The right team makes all the difference. Read more about this project on the ARES blog.

From Water Damage to Holiday Ready: How ARES Restored a Federal Way Home After a Kitchen Water Line Leak When a home is unexpectedly damaged, the disruption goes far beyond what you can see.
