Seattle Accessory Dwelling Unit Makes Ideal Space for Mom

Kitchen in Seattle 98125 Accessory Dwelling Unit

Our client loved their existing home in their Lake City neighborhood but needed more room when it became necessary to provide a space for mom. They knew it would also be a worthwhile investment for years because new regulations make selling “mother-in-law” cottages separately from the main home possible. The gain from this investment could be realized as either rental income or a lump sum for their retirement.

We referred our client to one of J & M’s preferred designers, whom we worked with to develop an ideal floorplan with an exterior design in keeping with the existing home’s style. The two-story layout includes a full kitchen, bathroom, a spacious bedroom and loft area, ample storage, and a large great room. The entry leads to the kitchen and great room area, which features beautiful hardwood flooring and abundant recessed lighting overhead.

Stunningly Soft and Bright Kitchen in West Seattle

Seattle kitchen remodel by J & M Remodel Seattle, WA. View of the kitchen looking at the large island and back counter area. Picket tile backsplash surrounding the picture window above the kitchen sink. High end appliances and custom cabinetry.

We worked closely with our clients and their designer on a complete kitchen, living room, dining room, and stair remodel, and J & M was able to turn their vision into reality seamlessly. The style of this project is one of our favorites to date. The color palate is incredibly soft and warm, a welcome change from the modern, clean lines we often see. The abundant lighting, ample workspace and storage in the kitchen, including a walk-in pantry, make it beautiful and extremely practical. The storage continues into the dining and living areas with built-in cabinets throughout. The project was a complete success and we were happy when the client left a great review of their experience working with us here:

We LOVE our remodel! We remodeled our kitchen, living room, dining room and stairs. Down to the studs. J&M let us use our own designs that we worked with an external designer on. They had a dedicated contractor on site for the majority of the project, and were open to feedback throughout the process. In the end, we’ve received a high quality, custom renovation that we know will add value to our home. I’m excited to live in this house with these updates for years to come.

As the client mentioned, the contrast between the new design that we executed and the previous areas couldn’t be more different.

Seattle Kitchen Remodel Provides the Perfect Update for Lakefront Home

Huge Kitchen Work Areas with Oversized Refrigerator/Freezer

The best part of this major kitchen renovation was the early collaboration with our client to develop ideas that could maximize their space, accommodate their large family, and get the most out of their project.

Many changes were made, including bringing the lake view to the fore by removing two large walls and arches and installing a large slider and new windows, incorporating a huge kitchen island, two dishwashers to handle their family needs, and a standalone refrigerator and freezer. Design elements included a custom hood wrap, stained glulam ceiling beam, intricate mother-of-pearl tile backsplash and fireplace surround, and many more.

Our client said it best:

“Start to finish this has been the only time I have ever hired a contractor and not only felt completely taken care of but also had the peace of mind that they had my best interest at the top of their priorities.”

“My wife and I could not be happier with the outcome but their guidance through the entire experience is what truly blew our minds.”

Kitchen remodel transforms Montlake home for new Seattle residents

The custom side-by-side refridgerator with a peek a boo window and surrounding cabinetry highlights the kitchen.

Our clients were new transplants to the Seattle metropolitan area, choosing to be close to our world-renowned Children’s Hospital. They were unfamiliar with the area but found a rare 1923 home in Montlake. The home was located exactly where they wanted to be but required extensive updating. They contracted with J & M to renovate the kitchen, dining area, staircase, lighting, trim, baseboards, and flooring on both the main level and the basement. The kitchen was extensively renovated by opening up walls and integrating them with the adjacent dining area and living space. The kitchen became the first thing you would see, whether entering through the front or side door of the home. The new layout changed the look of the dark and compartmentalized craftsman style while flowing with the classic lines of the home’s architecture. The kitchen design included top-of-the-line Bosch, Liebherr, and Fisher + Paykel appliances, completely custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry with a custom sliding door.

Seattle Remodel Features Designer Touches

We are grateful for all of our customers, no matter the size or complexity of their projects. We have been fortunate on quite a few occasions to work for customers who are in the home design business. That was the case with our recent Seattle customer, who had quite a few ideas about the work we performed on the kitchen and bathrooms in her home. Her choice of finishes and design really helped make the project pop and was a joy to work on. Our customer enjoyed the experience and the result, and left us a great five-star Google review that you can read below or see the original at this link:

“Our experience with working with J&M Remodel exceeded our expectations and then some! We had our whole house remodeled including the kitchen and bathrooms and from start to finish the crew at J&M were easy to work with-they listened, the work down to the last detail was impeccable and they truly cared about the work they were doing, including staying within budget. We would recommend J&M in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for a contractor that will get the job done right, on time and granted nothing unexpected is uncovered, on budget. Thank you to Justin, Mandy, Ryan and Carlos for making our old, falling apart home beautiful-we can’t wait to move back in!”

 

Seattle Remodel Delivers the Kitchen of Their Dreams

Our clients were a real pleasure to work with on this Seattle kitchen remodel project. They delighted us by producing both a great time lapse video of their project along with a very detailed review of their experience with J & M Remodel from start to finish. The text of the review is below the video shown below, along with some additional project photos to display the project to its fullest effect.

J&M were our contractors for our kitchen remodel. The remodel project involved removing all existing appliances, cabinets, countertops, and lighting, and replacing with new ones, including tiling on the walls.

We kept the basic footprint the same but re-worked some functionality and added a few new features like a wine fridge. We enjoyed working with the entire team throughout the project. Justin was helpful in answering our questions as we selected appliances and prepared for the renovation. He stayed in touch during the project and helped troubleshoot when needed. Roman, our project lead, kept us informed each day on our progress. We knew when they would be at the house to do work and when various subcontractors would be coming as well. Roman and his team spent a lot of time in our house with us during the renovation and were always polite, friendly, and helpful. They took care to clean up their workspaces and answered our many questions.

We love the finished kitchen! It is the kitchen of my dreams and turned out so much better than I imagined! Roman and the team worked so hard to make sure everything looked beautiful and that we were fully satisfied. One of my friends saw the kitchen and said it looked “like a magazine” and I was so excited and proud. I agree and have J&M to thank for their hard work!
