Is Your Home Ready?
Is your home ready for a major remodel?
Major remodels start when small fixes stop working. Tap any problem below to see how J&C approaches it — and how a coordinated whole-home plan solves it for good.
How J&C Helps
A major remodel lets us reconfigure rooms, reroute traffic patterns, and rebuild the spaces you use every day around how your family actually lives now.
How J&C Helps
Coordinated under a single general contractor — one schedule, one project manager, one accountable team — instead of stitching together separate trades over years.
How J&C Helps
Open-concept conversions, structural wall removal, and reworked sightlines bring light and flow back into homes that were designed for a different era.
How J&C Helps
Transform the home you have instead of moving — keep the school district, the lot, the neighborhood, and rebuild around it.
How J&C Helps
J&C handles design coordination, structural engineering, jurisdictional permitting, and every trade on site — start to final inspection — as your licensed GC.

View Featured ProjectsPlanning a Major Remodel
What to think about before you start.
Budget Planning
We build line-item proposals so you see exactly where every dollar goes — structure, finishes, fixtures, and contingencies — before a single wall comes down.
Timeline Expectations
Most major remodels run 5–12 months on site, with another 2–4 months of design and permitting up front. We map the full calendar before kickoff.
Permit Requirements
Structural, mechanical, plumbing, and energy permits are pulled through Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell, and surrounding jurisdictions — by us.
Design Decisions
Floor plans, elevations, lighting plans, and finish schedules locked in design — so construction runs without surprise change orders.
Material Selections
Trade-pricing on cabinetry, tile, stone, plumbing, and lighting through our vendor network — with samples ordered before the project goes live.
Construction Coordination
One project manager, weekly walkthroughs, and a single point of contact across framing, mechanicals, drywall, finish, and final punch list.
