Elevating Mercer Island Homes With Intentional Remodeling

Mercer Island is one of the most distinctive residential communities in the Pacific Northwest. Tucked between Seattle and Bellevue, it offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and refined living. Homes here are more than structures — they’re reflections of lifestyle, legacy, and long-term investment. Many Mercer Island homeowners are looking for remodeling partners who understand that difference.

AVEAD Construction provides remodeling services tailored specifically to the expectations of Mercer Island residents. Our work emphasizes craftsmanship, thoughtful planning, and design that feels both elevated and quietly understated. Whether your home overlooks Lake Washington, sits on a tree-lined mid-island street, or rests in a long-established neighborhood, we approach each remodel with one goal: to enhance the way your home feels and functions every day.

From full-home transformations to detailed kitchen and bathroom renovations, we bring a design-forward, detail-driven mindset to every Mercer Island project. The result is remodeling that respects the architecture, setting, and goals of each homeowner.

A Remodeling Approach Suited to Mercer Island’s Character

Mercer Island homes range from mid-century modern designs to contemporary custom builds, classic Northwest homes, and everything in between. Some properties have sweeping views and expansive floorplans; others are more intimate and tucked into quiet cul-de-sacs. No two homes — or families — are exactly alike, and our remodeling philosophy reflects that.

Rather than pushing a single style, we focus on alignment: aligning design with your daily routines, your long-term plans, and the existing character of your home.

What defines our Mercer Island remodeling style?

• Refined, quiet luxury rather than trendy extremes
• Emphasis on natural light and view lines where available
• Clean architectural lines framed by warm materials
• High-performance finishes chosen for longevity
• Layouts that balance openness with privacy
• Details that feel intentional, not overdone

We design and build spaces that feel like they belong on Mercer Island — places that stand the test of time aesthetically and structurally, while remaining deeply comfortable to live in.

Whole-Home Remodeling on Mercer Island

Reimagining the Entire Home With Cohesion and Calm

Many Mercer Island homes are ready for a comprehensive refresh. Layouts that worked decades ago may now feel segmented or limiting. Finishes that once felt modern may now appear dated. And as families evolve — more time at home, remote work, entertaining, multi-generational living — the needs placed on the home naturally shift.

Whole-home remodeling allows us to thoughtfully rework multiple spaces at once, ensuring everything connects visually and functionally.

A full Mercer Island home remodel might include:

• Reconfiguring the main floor to create better flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas
• Updating flooring, doors, trim, and hardware throughout for a unified look
• Redesigning bathrooms and the kitchen to complement each other stylistically
• Improving lighting, both ambient and task, across the home
• Refreshing staircases, built-ins, and millwork for a cohesive architectural language
• Integrating smart home systems, updated mechanicals, and energy-efficient solutions

The result isn’t a home that looks “flipped” — it’s a home that feels like it has always been this way, only now more aligned with your current lifestyle.

Ideal for established Mercer Island neighborhoods

Whole-home remodeling is especially valuable in long-established areas such as First Hill, East Seattle, and mid-island neighborhoods where homes have excellent bones but need a renewed sense of continuity and modern function. We approach these projects with respect for the existing structure and a clear plan to elevate the home without erasing its story.

Kitchen Remodeling on Mercer Island

A Kitchen That Matches How You Actually Live

On Mercer Island, the kitchen is rarely just a place to cook. It’s a gathering space — for friends after school activities, for weekend brunches, for quiet mornings with a view, and for evenings when everyone ends up around the island. A remodeled kitchen should handle all of that gracefully.

Our kitchen remodels focus on a blend of performance and restraint: layouts that work, materials that last, and details that feel polished without being overly flashy.

Key elements of a Mercer Island kitchen remodel often include:

• Bespoke cabinetry sized and organized for how you actually use the space
• Stone countertops chosen for both beauty and durability
• Large, functional islands for prep, dining, and conversation
• Carefully planned lighting layers: ambient, task, and accent
• High-end appliances integrated smoothly into the design
• Flooring that ties the kitchen to adjoining spaces
• Subtle, high-quality hardware and fixtures that complete the look

Whether your home is perched along the waterfront or sits deeper in a quiet residential pocket, we design your kitchen around its surroundings and your everyday patterns.

Connecting the kitchen to the rest of the home

In many Mercer Island homes, one of the most impactful upgrades is improving the way the kitchen connects with dining and living spaces. This might mean widening openings, adjusting circulation, or fully reimagining the layout. Our goal is to create a kitchen that feels like a natural extension of the rest of your home, not a separate box.

Bathroom Remodeling on Mercer Island

Thoughtful, Relaxing Spaces Built for Daily Use

Bathroom remodels on Mercer Island often lean toward a calm, spa-adjacent experience — not loud or ornate, but quietly refined and deeply functional. These spaces set the tone for your mornings and help you unwind at the end of the day.

A Mercer Island bathroom remodel might include:

• A walk-in shower with frameless glass and high-quality fixtures
• Custom or floating vanities with organized storage
• Stone or quartz countertops with integrated sinks
• Radiant floor heating for consistent comfort
• Elevated tilework on floors and walls
• Soft yet precise lighting at the vanity and shower
• Ventilation designed for performance, not just code compliance

We design with both longevity and maintenance in mind. That means choosing materials and layouts that continue looking good — and functioning well — years after the remodel.

Primary suites, guest baths, and kids’ bathrooms each have different needs. We tailor each design to its users, whether that means durable finishes for younger families, more storage for shared spaces, or quieter luxury for an owner’s retreat.

Home and Room Additions on Mercer Island

Creating More Space Without Leaving the Island

When additional space is needed — a larger primary suite, a family room, a guest wing, or a dedicated office — many Mercer Island homeowners prefer to expand rather than move. Additions are an opportunity to gain square footage and functionality while preserving your connection to the island and your existing property.

We design additions to feel as if they were always part of the original structure. Rooflines, window proportions, exterior materials, and interior details are all carefully considered so that new space integrates seamlessly with old.

Types of additions we frequently build include:

• Main-floor expansions for larger living or kitchen spaces
• Second-story additions or partial upper-level expansions
• New primary suites with custom closets and baths
• Guest suites or in-law spaces
• Dedicated offices, studios, or bonus rooms

For homes in areas like Mercerwood, The Lakes, and the South End, additions can dramatically improve how the home functions for modern life without sacrificing the advantages of staying on the island.

ADU Construction on Mercer Island

Flexible Living for Guests, Family, or Long-Term Use

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are increasingly attractive on Mercer Island due to lot sizes, long-term planning, and multi-generational living patterns. An ADU can serve as a private space for relatives, a guest house, a caretaker’s suite, or a quiet place to work or create.

We approach ADUs with the same level of detail as primary homes, ensuring the structure fits the site, the architecture, and the way you plan to use it.

This includes:

• Thoughtful siting for privacy and light
• Architectural alignment with the main home
• Efficient floorplans that feel larger than their square footage
• Durable, low-maintenance materials
• Comfortable interiors with appropriate storage and amenities

ADUs can be a subtle yet powerful way to future-proof your Mercer Island property.

Interior Remodeling on Mercer Island

Refining the Spaces You Use Every Day

Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, many Mercer Island homes benefit from interior updates that unify design and improve livability. This might involve reworking a fireplace wall, adding custom built-ins, updating flooring throughout, or refreshing railings and trim.

Interior improvements can include:

• New hardwood or engineered flooring
• Updated staircases and railings
• Custom storage solutions and built-ins
• Trim, door, and hardware upgrades
• Interior paint and finish refreshes
• Fireplace redesigns and feature walls

These details may seem subtle in isolation, but together they can dramatically improve how a home feels and how gracefully it ages.

Exterior Remodeling on Mercer Island

A Refined Exterior to Match the Setting

Mercer Island exteriors have to balance aesthetic appeal with performance against the elements. Rain, shade, and exposure all play a role in the material selections that make sense here.

Exterior remodeling services may include:

• Siding updates or replacements
• New windows and exterior doors
• Exterior paint schemes that highlight architecture
• Porch, entry, and deck enhancements
• Trim and detail upgrades

These projects ensure that the first impression of your home matches the quality and care you’ve invested inside.

Custom Home Building on Mercer Island

When a Remodel Isn’t Enough

For some homeowners, the best path forward is a custom home built from the ground up. AVEAD Construction also offers custom home building services on Mercer Island, taking you from early concepts through construction.

We coordinate with designers and architects to create homes that:

• Work with the site’s unique characteristics
• Maximize light, views, and privacy
• Reflect your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences
• Provide long-term comfort and performance

Custom builds are particularly compelling for properties where the lot offers more potential than the existing structure.

Mercer Island Neighborhoods We Serve

We work across the island, tailoring each remodel to its immediate surroundings and neighborhood character.

We proudly serve:

First Hill, East Seattle, Mid-Island, Mercerwood,
The Lakes, South End, North End, Lakeview Highlands,
and surrounding Mercer Island communities.

Each area has its own nuances in terms of lot size, architecture, and long-term vision — and we design with those nuances in mind.

A Partner in the Long-Term Life of Your Home

A remodel on Mercer Island is rarely about a quick facelift. It’s about bringing a home into alignment with how you live now — and how you expect to live in the years ahead. That might mean rethinking a kitchen that has become too tight, turning a dated bathroom into something calm and restored, or updating an entire home that hasn’t changed in decades.

AVEAD Construction partners with you through that process with:

• Transparent communication
• Careful planning
• Respect for your time and home
• Attention to detail at every stage
• A standard of quality aligned with the expectations of Mercer Island homeowners

Our goal is simple: to create spaces that feel effortless to live in, refined to look at, and right for the island you call home.
