Remodeling in Sammamish

Building in Sammamish

The Sammamish plateau filled in through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s with large two-story homes in planned subdivisions, many governed by active HOAs. These houses have generous square footage but spend it oddly by today's standards: two-story foyers, formal rooms nobody enters, and kitchens walled off from the family room where everyone actually lives. Our most common Sammamish project is a main-floor rework that reclaims that formal square footage for a bigger kitchen, a pantry worthy of the household, and a family room that fits everyone.

Daylight basements are the plateau's hidden asset, and many are still unfinished framing and fiberglass three decades on. Finishing one adds a guest suite, media room, or gym at a fraction of addition cost. Outside, Sammamish backyards back onto greenbelts and get real use, so engineered decks and covered outdoor rooms are perennial requests. Permitting goes through the City of Sammamish, and we coordinate HOA architectural approvals for exterior work as a standard part of our process.

The Sammamish plateau filled in from the 1980s through the 2000s with large two-stories that spend square footage on two-story foyers and unused formal rooms. The opportunity is reworking the main floor and finishing the daylight basements still framed in fiberglass.

PLATEAU WEATHER IS A TOUCH COOLER AND WETTER THAN THE VALLEY FLOOR, WHICH IS WHY WE PUSH COVERED OUTDOOR STRUCTURES OVER OPEN DECKS FOR SAMMAMISH BACKYARDS THAT WANT YEAR-ROUND USE.
