Redmond has changed dramatically over the past two decades — from a mid-size Eastside city into a genuine urban center. Homeowners here are increasingly ready to make their homes reflect the lives they actually live.
Redmond has changed dramatically over the past two decades. What was once a mid-size Eastside city known mostly for its Microsoft campus is now a genuine urban center with a revitalized downtown, a thriving arts community, and neighborhoods that attract high earners who want proximity to both their employers and the natural assets — Marymoor Park, the Sammamish River Trail, Lake Sammamish — that make this city worth living in. Homes here reflect that investment. And the people who own them are increasingly ready to make those homes reflect their actual lives.
ARIID Build & Remodel is based in Kirkland, minutes from Redmond, and we work throughout this city. Ariana Anderson, our founder, holds two National NKBA Design Awards and brings 25 years of design-build experience to every project. The homes we work on in Redmond range from 1970s split-levels being completely reimagined to lakefront properties in Idylwood where the scope rivals anything we do on the Eastside.
The most common whole-home scope in Redmond involves the kitchen as the anchor and bathrooms and primary suite as the supporting projects. Kitchens in this city’s older housing stock were designed for a different era — small, closed, facing the wrong direction. Opening those kitchens up and connecting them to outdoor spaces is the single most transformative thing you can do to an older Redmond home. We do that work often here, and we do it properly: structural engineering, permits, and a design that makes the before state incomprehensible once you’ve seen the after.
On Education Hill, the homes tend to be family-sized 1990s builds with layouts that are good but not great. Whole-home remodels here often focus on opening the main floor, upgrading all three or four bathrooms, and adding a primary suite addition or bump-out that wasn’t in the original plan. These projects typically run $300,000 to $500,000.
In Idylwood and along Lake Sammamish, the projects get larger. These are homes where clients are investing $600,000 to $1.2M in renovations, where the outdoor connection to the water is as important as any interior space, and where the design has to hold up to significant expectations. We’ve done that work in Idylwood and we take it seriously.
A whole-home remodel in Redmond involves coordinating general contracting, tile work, cabinetry installation, plumbing, electrical, structural engineering, and permit management — plus design decisions that have to be made in the right sequence. The design-build model we use means all of those moving parts are managed by one firm, under one contract, with one point of contact for you. When a decision needs to be made or a problem needs to be solved, it happens in hours, not weeks of back-and-forth between a designer, a contractor, and three subcontractors who haven’t met each other.
We also work with homeowners who are preparing their Redmond home for sale and want a targeted pre-listing renovation — kitchen update, bathroom updates, flooring — that maximizes sale price without overcapitalizing for the neighborhood. We’re direct about what projects return value in this market and which ones don’t.
The area around downtown Redmond — near the Sammamish River Trail, Bear Creek, and the older neighborhoods along 166th Avenue NE — has attracted a new wave of buyers purchasing older homes with the intention of remodeling them to match. These are often our most creatively interesting projects: homes with good locations and challenging original conditions, where the right design decisions can produce something extraordinary.

Kitchen-plus-bathrooms scopes in Redmond typically run $200,000 to $400,000. Whole-home projects with primary suite additions, multiple bathrooms, and full kitchen transformations generally range from $350,000 to $700,000. Idylwood waterfront projects often run higher.
Yes — Education Hill is one of the neighborhoods we work in regularly. The homes there are typically 1990s construction with good bones and layouts that respond well to main-floor opening, kitchen upgrades, and bathroom renovations.
We manage the entire permit process with the City of Redmond’s Permit Center — application, inspections, and final sign-off. Structural, plumbing, and electrical work all require permits, and we factor those timelines into the project schedule from the start.
Yes. Connecting interior living spaces to outdoor areas is one of the most impactful investments you can make in a Redmond home, given the natural assets nearby. We design and build indoor-outdoor connections under one design-build contract, including any structural work required.
