Remodeled kitchen with wood cabinets, a long island and a row of windows over the counter

Design-build remodeling in Seattle

Kitchen, bath and whole-home remodeling in Seattle.

We design it, price it in writing and build it with our own crew. You get one project lead from the first visit to the final walkthrough.

We reply within one business day, usually the same day.

Recent project

What we build

Six kinds of projects. One team from design to walkthrough.

Recent work

Projects around Seattle, with the budget and timeline for each.

How we work

Four steps, and you always know which one you are in.

01

Consultation at your house

We walk the house with you, talk through goals and budget, and tell you plainly if we are the right fit. About an hour, no charge.

02

Design and a written price

Our designer draws the plan and we price it line by line. You see the full price before you sign the build contract.

03

Build with one project lead

Our own crew does the core work. Your project lead sends a weekly update with photos and what comes next.

04

Walkthrough and warranty

We finish the punch list with you, hand over the paperwork and stand behind the work for five years.

What it costs

Most kitchens we build land between $110,000 and $140,000.

We publish ranges from our recent projects so you can tell early whether a project fits your budget. They are not quotes. Your price comes in writing at the end of the design phase.

What homeowners say after the dust is gone.

They told us about the old pipe the day they found it, with a price, before doing anything.

No step into the shower was the whole point, and it came out exactly as drawn.

From the owner

Call the office and you will usually get me or Rosa.

I started Dunmore Construction in 2004 with one truck and a crew of three. We have grown since, but we keep the company small on purpose: one project lead for each job, our own carpenters for the core work, and a price you can read before anything starts.

If something on your job is not right, I want to hear it from you first.

Where we work
