This stunning renovation left nothing untouched at our clients' newly purchased Lake Washington shorefront home, complete with a private boat dock and some of the best views in the Pacific Northwest.
They were excited to get it move-in ready and brought on the J & M team, along with our referred designer. It was a complete overhaul: a high-end kitchen renovation featuring panel-ready SubZero appliances and a dry bar, new flooring, paint, trim, doors, and lighting throughout, as well as a luxury primary ensuite.
Every detail of this project was completed with the highest level of craftsmanship. Each room was focused on the breathtaking, panoramic views. Nothing short of perfection would do for any aspect of this high-end property, right down to the completely custom-built dry sauna set in the backyard, just steps away from the lake.

A complete home renovation is one of the most significant investments you'll make. You deserve a Seattle contractor with the experience, craftsmanship, and track record to get it right. J & M Remodel is that partner. Schedule your free consultation today.
Our client wanted to transform the unfinished basement of her large craftsman home into a two-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit, with a separate entrance, that she could use as a short-term rental. It was executed perfectly.
This basement apartment features two sizeable bedrooms — one with a queen bed surrounded by built-ins, and the other with two nicely appointed twin beds. A full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a large kitchen, a living room, and a dining area complete the space. The unit includes a stacked washer and dryer, lots of storage with custom closet systems in each closet, and ample cabinet space.
The aesthetic of the unit is warm and inviting — appealing to tenants over many other available rentals. Details such as wainscoting, custom shelving, slim Shaker cabinetry, and thoughtful décor make this unit stand out above the competition. The overall quality craftsmanship provided by J & M will ensure that this investment will withstand many years of tenant use and continue to bring the additional income our client was looking for, without constant maintenance issues.

The original kitchen in this 1947 Ravenna home desperately needed updating — aesthetically, as well as for space and functionality. We removed walls to open the kitchen up into the dining and sitting area, and incorporated tons of new cabinetry, including a large island and coffee bar. The colors and design elements were thoughtfully selected by one of Seattle's premier interior designers.
Slim Shaker cabinets, a wrapped beam, and a custom hood with copper trim set this kitchen apart from typical designs. Our renovation didn't stop at the kitchen — the entire sitting and living room received an overhaul with new flooring, paint, trim, lighting, and a statement hearth.
J & M's exquisite craftsmanship is evident throughout, as seen in the tile backsplash that extends to the ceiling with impeccable lines, and the perfectly set fireplace featuring a tile hearth inlaid into the new hardwood floors.

"Working with J&M Remodel was great. They were easy to communicate with and were very responsive during the entire kitchen remodel. Our onsite project manager provided timely updates and answered all questions that we had. All of their sub-contractors were respectful of our project. They stayed on time and we moved back in when we expected to. They took our kitchen walls down and opened up the kitchen to the dining room. New wood floors were laid and all new cabinets installed. They installed new tile in both the kitchen/dining room and the fireplace. We love our new kitchen and get a lot of compliments on it."

This West Seattle home with a view of Puget Sound needed a kitchen update when we met with our clients. They didn't have a vision yet, so we introduced them to one of our preferred designers, who helped bring this moody kitchen to life and complemented the rest of their Mid-Century Modern home exquisitely.
Aside from moving appliances and adding counterspace, the footprint mostly remained the same; however, the new layout's functionality is a big improvement for our clients. Frameless black cabinets with under-lighting, a unique wood-slatted hood, and complementary pulls make this kitchen one-of-a-kind. We especially love the textured Zellige tile, which catches the afternoon light from the west-facing window overlooking the water.
The before-and-after pictures emphasize this stunning transformation.

"We had J&M Remodel remodel our kitchen, and we are thrilled with the results. We also had the living room hardwoods redone at the same time, and it's such a day/night difference. In particular, Christian, Norma, Jose, Peter, and Sergi were such a pleasure to work with, so courteous and really made sure to minimize any inconvenience during the construction."

At J & M Remodel, we believe a bathroom should be more than just functional—it should be a sanctuary that elevates your daily routine. Serving Seattle, Bellevue, and the greater Puget Sound, our team specializes in creating custom bathrooms, from cozy powder rooms to luxurious master suites. This guide will help you plan, design, and complete your bathroom remodel, ensuring a stress-free process and a space that reflects your style and needs.
Why Remodel Your Bathroom?
A bathroom remodel offers compelling advantages:
- Increase Home Value: bathroom remodel projects can deliver a 60% return on investment.
- Improve Comfort: Enjoy spa-like features or accessibility for aging-in-place.
- Update Efficiency: Install water-saving fixtures to align with Seattle’s eco-friendly ethos.
J & M Remodel crafts beautiful, durable bathrooms that enhance your home and lifestyle, backed by our commitment to quality and client satisfaction.
Define Your Vision and Goals
Begin by envisioning your ideal bathroom. Consider:
- Do you want a walk-in shower or a soaking tub?
- Are dual sinks a must for shared spaces?
- Is accessibility (e.g., grab bars, non-slip floors) a priority?
Browse J & M’s bathroom remodel portfolio. Create a list of essentials (e.g., water-efficient fixtures) versus luxuries (e.g., heated floors) to guide our design team in crafting your perfect space.
Set a Realistic Budget
Bathroom remodels in Seattle depend on size, scope, and finishes. A bathroom remodel with a new vanity, tiled shower, updated fixtures is less expensive than options like a frameless glass shower, custom cabinetry, or heated floors.
Keeping the existing plumbing layout can save $5,000–$10,000. J & M provides clear cost breakdowns to keep your project within reach.

Navigate Permits and Regulations
Permits are required for plumbing, electrical, or ventilation changes in Seattle. J & M Remodel manages the permitting process ensuring compliance with water-efficiency standards and building codes. Our experience keeps your project on track, avoiding costly delays.
Design Your Dream Space
Our team will work with you to create a bathroom that’s both practical and luxurious. You’ll:
- Select fixtures like low-flow toilets or rainfall showerheads.
- Choose materials such as non-slip porcelain tiles or sleek quartz vanities.
- Incorporate trends like frameless glass showers and eco-friendly lighting.
Construction Process
The construction phase transforms your design into reality. Timeframes vary depending on the scope of your project. Your schedule will be determined after you’ve chosen your design and we’ve created an estimate to realize it. Typical bathroom remodel projects include:
- Demolition: Remove old fixtures, tiles, or drywall.
- Rough-In: Install plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing.
- Installation: Add fixtures, tiles, and vanities.
- Finishing: Install mirrors, lighting, and accessories.
Temporary loss of bathroom access is common, but J & M coordinates schedules to minimize inconvenience, ensuring clear communication throughout.
Final Touches and Walkthrough
As the project nears completion, we install final elements like shower glass, mirrors, and towel bars. J & M’s rigorous quality check ensures every detail is flawless. During the final walkthrough, you’ll inspect the space with our team to confirm it meets your expectations. We address any tweaks promptly, ensuring your complete satisfaction.
