Suncadia is a resort community two hours from Seattle. We design and build whole-home renovations that match the vision of these properties — managed remotely with the same rigor we bring to our Kirkland projects.
The Suncadia resort community was developed with a clear aesthetic in mind: Pacific Northwest lodge character, mountain materials, homes that sit comfortably in a forested landscape east of Snoqualmie Pass. The original construction delivered that vision to varying degrees. Some homes were built beautifully. Others were built to a development budget that left meaningful finishing work undone. After fifteen to twenty years, many of these properties are ready for the renovation that brings them fully in line with what they were always supposed to be.
We work on mountain resort properties because we’re genuinely good at what they require: remote project management, experience with high-altitude material performance, and design sensibility that understands the difference between a mountain home and a mountain-themed home. The distinction matters.
Most Suncadia homeowners don’t live there full time. They’re in Seattle, Bellevue, or Kirkland during the week and over the pass on weekends. Managing a significant renovation from that distance — without being pulled into daily decisions, surprise problems, or coordination gaps — requires a contractor who operates with real autonomy and real accountability.
That’s how we’re structured. Our project managers run job sites with a level of independence that keeps clients informed but not burdened. We document progress, flag decisions before they become delays, and maintain a communication rhythm that fits how busy people actually live. We’ve managed projects in Suncadia, and we understand the rhythm of resort-community construction.
Whole-home renovations in Suncadia most commonly address three things: kitchen and bathrooms that were never finished at the quality the home deserved, primary suite expansions that take advantage of the lot and views, and the kind of systems upgrades — HVAC, smart home integration, generator backup — that make a mountain home livable year-round rather than just comfortable in fair weather.
Kittitas County permits govern all structural work, electrical changes, and plumbing modifications. We pull permits and manage inspections as part of our standard scope. Rural county timelines can be longer than the Eastside — we factor that into every schedule we produce. License ARIIDBL767NB.
The best Suncadia renovations dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior — large windows, improved deck connections, materials that carry the warmth of the surrounding forest into the living spaces. We think about this from the start of the design process, not as an afterthought.
Mountain homes in Cle Elum face real winters. Radiant floor heat, properly insulated window assemblies, and mechanical systems sized for the actual climate — these aren’t optional amenities for a home used through December and January. We spec for performance as well as aesthetics, because a beautiful home that’s expensive to heat or uncomfortable in winter isn’t serving its owner well.

We’ve built remote project management into our core operations. Our project managers coordinate with local Cle Elum-area trades, maintain detailed documentation, and communicate with clients on a regular cadence. Clients get progress updates, decisions flagged before they become delays, and full visibility without needing to be on-site constantly.
Suncadia falls under Kittitas County jurisdiction. Structural changes, electrical modifications, plumbing reroutes, and additions all require county permits. We manage the full permitting process — applications, plan responses, inspections — from our Kirkland office.
Full home renovations in Suncadia typically run $300,000 to $700,000 depending on scope, existing conditions, and finish level. Targeted multi-room updates are $150,000 to $350,000. Remote project coordination and mountain-specific material requirements do factor into cost, and we’re transparent about both in our estimates.
Yes. We operate as a design-build firm, with Ariana Anderson leading design alongside construction. For clients who want deeper interior design involvement, our sister studio Ariana Designs & Interiors handles full interior design — furniture, fixtures, finishes — coordinating directly with our build team.
