Redmond Home Remodeling Services

Full-scale transformation in Redmond typically begins with the structural deficiencies concealed behind drywall. Load-bearing wall removal to open sightlines between kitchen, dining, and living areas requires engineered steel beam installation LVL or wide-flange steel, specified by our structural engineer and sized to code. This is not decorative work, it safely carries the weight the old wall used to hold.

Deferred maintenance in 1960s–1970s stock often includes undersized electrical panels (60–100 amp service where 200 amp is now standard), deteriorated subfloor sheathing, and inadequate attic insulation.

We address these systematically during framing-phase access, when walls are open and remediation costs are a fraction of retrofit pricing.

Whole-home projects in Redmond begin at $100,000 for targeted structural correction and range to $500,000 or more for full-envelope modernization, including exterior cladding, window replacement, and energy performance upgrades to meet current Washington State Energy Code thresholds.

At the $100,000+ tier, kitchen remodeling moves beyond surface-level material selection. Elite’s kitchen projects begin with spatial reconfiguration: relocating plumbing stacks, rerouting electrical circuits, and engineering open-concept layouts that maintain structural integrity. The result is a professional-grade culinary workspace, not a showroom replica.

Material curation at this level includes waterfall-edge natural stone countertops quartzite, Calacatta marble, or honed granite installed with precision-mitered seams.

Custom millwork and bespoke cabinetry are fabricated to architectural specifications, with soft-close mechanisms, integrated lighting rails, and panel-ready appliance fronts. Integrated flush-mount induction cooktops, sub-zero refrigeration columns, and convection steam ovens are standard fixtures in our Redmond kitchen commissions.

We source slabs individually, matching veining across countertop runs and backsplash installations. This is material curation at the estate level.

Bathroom remodeling in Redmond’s legacy housing stock is, first, a plumbing infrastructure project. PB pipe replacement, cast-iron drain stack remediation, and reconfigured supply lines precede any finish work. Only after the mechanical systems are verified do we proceed to the architectural layer.

Primary suite transformations at the $75,000–$200,000 range include curbless walk-in showers with linear drain systems, heated limestone or porcelain floor assemblies, freestanding soaking tubs, and custom vanity installations with wall-mounted fixtures. This is a calm, spa-like space built to last, not to look dated in five years.

Tile specification is approached with the same rigor as structural material selection. Large-format porcelain slabs minimize grout lines and long-term maintenance.

Waterproofing membranes are applied as full-system assemblies not spot treatments to protect framing and subfloor from moisture intrusion over the life of the installation.

Under HB 1337 and Redmond’s code (RMC 21.08), most single-family lots can now have up to two ADUs of 1,000 sq ft each, with no owner-occupancy requirement and a protected 24-foot building height that makes two-story DADUs feasible.

We execute ADU and DADU projects under our full design-build process: feasibility study, architectural documentation, permits, and fixed-cost construction. Current Redmond projects range from $90,000 for attached conversions to $300,000+ for detached two-story builds.

Second-story additions over single-story ramblers require foundation load analysis and often reinforcement. Our structural engineers evaluate existing footings and soil conditions (Redmond’s glacial till varies by neighborhood) before design begins.

Every addition also triggers energy code compliance for the affected envelope, so we integrate insulation, high-performance windows, and right-sized mechanical systems, treating the addition as a catalyst for whole-building performance.

English Hill and portions of Education Hill present unique basement conditions: hillside-cut foundations with exposed walls, hydrostatic pressure concerns, and potential slope creep.

Basement remodeling in these areas is a structural engineering exercise before it becomes an interior design project.

Our approach includes interior and exterior waterproofing systems (dimple board drainage mats, French drain perimeter systems, and sump pump installations), seismic retrofitting of cripple walls and mudsill connections, and egress window installation to code.

Finished basements add significant square footage to Redmond properties typically at 40–60% of the cost per square foot of above-grade additions.

Outdoor living structures in Redmond must perform against 45+ inches of annual rainfall and sustained moisture exposure. We specify high-density Ipe hardwood, thermally modified ash, or composite decking systems rated for Pacific Northwest weather cycles.

Structural framing uses hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel connectors, and all footings are engineered to local frost depth and soil bearing capacity.

The architectural intent is indoor-outdoor flow: flush thresholds from living spaces, integrated drainage systems beneath deck surfaces, and lighting designed by our electrical team. Covered structures incorporate standing-seam metal roofing or retractable louvered pergola systems for year-round functionality in Redmond’s climate.

Projects range from $40,000 for targeted deck installations to $150,000+ for full outdoor living commissions with covered structures and built-in cooking stations.
