Home remodeling in areas like Bellevue and Kirkland can quickly become overwhelming when you’re coordinating designers, engineers, and multiple subcontractors. Couple that with busy careers and home life and a home remodeling project can easily make you feel overwhelmed.

With a design-build remodeling company on the Eastside, everything is managed under one roof. Here at McAdams Remodeling & Design, that means a dedicated job manager, one streamlined process, and one team aligned from design to construction. Instead of managing a complex remodel on your own, worrying about permits, MIA subcontractors and missing materials, you get a stress-free home renovation experience designed for busy professionals and families.

We’ve had Redmond and Sammamish homeowners find us after struggling with subcontractor coordination after attempting a remodel on their own. We understand that a home remodel is an investment, but true value can be found in less stress and more confidence in form of a trusted remodeler. When you hire subs separately the responsibility is split, so if there are issues, it can lead to problems between trades leaving the homeowner to mediate. Projects can also take longer as a delay often drops you off another trade partner’s calendar.

Why Design Build is Better

With design-build accountability is clear, McAdams Remodeling & Design clients have a contract that specifies responsibility and we take full ownership of your remodel with continuity from design, to getting permits, and construction. Our design team helps you select cost-effective materials, avoid over-designed, expensive details, and aligns your choices with real construction costs, something often missed when hiring an architect and then shopping for a remodeler. Finally, since we’re a small family owned and operated business that’s been serving Eastside customers for over 50 years, we offer custom remodeling services that fit your lifestyle and reflect Eastside design trends but with practicality and longevity in mind. We want to help our eastside homeowners expect homes that are not only beautiful—but also functional, efficient, and built to last.

Is Hiring Subcontractors Ever the Right Choice?

There are cases where hiring subcontractors separately may work, such as if you have construction management experience, if you really want full control over each trade, or you have a smaller or simpler project, like flooring or painting. However, for most Eastside homeowners, the complexity, time commitment, and risk make it less appealing than a design-build approach.
