After the Storm: Rebuilding a Kirkland Home

On November 19, 2024, the Pacific Northwest was hit by a “bomb cyclone” that unleashed devastating winds, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and causing widespread damage. In Kirkland, a Lakeville-built home suffered major destruction when a neighbor’s tree crashed through the top floor. The same family who had purchased the home in 2013 reached out for help. The team was ready. Within days, Lakeville stabilized the structure and completed essential mitigation, ensuring the family could safely remain home during the holidays and through the harsh winter ahead.

Storm Damage Repair and Restoration

Lakeville’s team moved quickly from emergency stabilization into a comprehensive reconstruction phase. The project included repair and restoration of the primary bathroom, water closet, hallway, and hall bathroom, along with exterior work such as gutter and siding replacement, roof framing reinforcement, new roof shingles, and structural stabilization. Inside, the team repaired and replaced sheetrock, matched and repainted finishes, inspected and repaired HVAC systems, restored plumbing lines and fixtures, rewired and updated lighting, and refinished hardwood floors. Throughout the process, Lakeville worked closely with the family’s insurance company to ensure a fair and seamless resolution.

Rebuilding Homes, Restoring Peace of Mind

At Lakeville, building homes has always been about relationships, not just construction. From emergency response to final finishes, the team guided the family through each stage with expertise, transparency, and care, reaffirming the company’s reputation for delivering not only exceptional craftsmanship but also trust and compassion when it matters most.

Craftsmanship That Withstands the Elements

This home, built with exceptional materials and meticulous detail, had already proven its quality. When disaster struck, those same standards, along with the team’s hands-on experience, ensured the home could be rebuilt stronger than before. The finished project stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful construction and long-term client relationships.

A Lasting Partnership

For this family, the rebuild was more than just recovery, it was a renewal of their connection to the team. Lakeville Homes by SoBella once again proved that whether it’s a luxury remodel, a new custom build, or an unexpected restoration, homeowners can count on the same trusted partner to bring their vision, and their home, back to life.
