Work with Oleg and a hands-on team. We keep the conversation open as your project takes shape.

For a Mercer Island remodel, look at how the rooms connect before deciding how much to change. Existing windows, floor levels, and details can help shape a more coherent plan.
MERCER ISLAND · HOME RENOVATION CONTEXT
Mercer Island's early residential growth relied on ferry and steamer connections. The first floating bridge opened in 1940, and the City incorporated in 1960. Its predominantly residential development left homes with many different relationships to grade, landscape and interior levels. Those are useful renovation questions without prescribing a particular design style. Review the retained house carefully: its entrances, stairs, windows and earlier alterations should inform the new work. The plan can then connect the household's current needs with the qualities that made the original home worth keeping.

Consider how partitions, storage and fixtures affect existing windows and adjoining rooms. Use the actual house orientation and household priorities when comparing design options.
Record the rooms and finishes that will remain, then show how the Mercer Island renovation meets them. Include transition details, selection responsibilities and the change process in the written scope.

Make a measured list of the rooms, features and materials that still serve the household. Compare repair, adaptation and replacement before demolition. For this Mercer Island plan, trace the floor and stair relationships is a useful starting point, supported by the actual building records and appropriate professional assessment.
Create a selection and ordering plan that links cabinets, appliances, tile, fixtures, and flooring to the installation sequence. Agree who orders, receives, inspects, and stores each item. Check dimensions and delivery timing before committing to demolition, and document substitutions. Resolving shared decisions early helps avoid reopening completed work.
Use a written change process that explains the reason, revised scope, added or credited price, and schedule effect before approval. Ask for photos when concealed conditions are found, and separate necessary repairs from optional upgrades. Keep approved drawings and selections available so the original scope and later requests remain clear.
Discuss the deposit, material payments, progress milestones, and final completion requirements in the written contract. Ask what work or delivery supports each payment and how change orders will be billed. Avoid paying the entire project price upfront. Review progress against the agreed scope and keep written records of payments and approvals.
