Mercer Island — the exclusive residential enclave floating in the middle of Lake Washington between Seattle and Bellevue — commands some of the highest home values in the Pacific Northwest and a remodeling market to match. Connected to the mainland by I-90, the island's single-city geography creates an intimate community where virtually every home benefits from proximity to water, mature trees, and an exceptional school district. The north end of the island around Luther Burbank Park features larger estate lots with mid-century modern homes designed by noted Northwest architects, many with walls of windows that frame lake and mountain views. The Mercerdale neighborhood near the town center offers a walkable village atmosphere with homes from the 1940s through the 1980s that are being extensively renovated. South-end properties along SE 68th Street and the Island Crest Way corridor range from original 1960s ramblers to newly constructed luxury homes. Mercer Island kitchens and bathrooms are expected to be exceptional — homeowners here invest in custom cabinetry from regional artisans, imported natural stone, professional-grade appliances, and spa-quality bathroom fixtures. With a median home value around $1.8 million, every remodeling decision on the island is made with an eye toward both luxury living and long-term property value.
We know Mercer Island well — from the mid-century modern homes to the northwest contemporary, we've worked on them all. With homes in Mercer Island averaging $1,800,000, homeowners here typically invest 10-15% of their home's value in a kitchen remodel — which means most projects fall between $180,000 and $270,000. Bathroom remodels typically run about half that range.
Our crews have worked in neighborhoods across Mercer Island — from North Mercer, South Mercer, Mercerdale to First Hill, Luther Burbank, West Mercer and everywhere in between. We understand the quirks of 45-year-old homes in this area: the plumbing situations, the electrical panels, the load-bearing walls. That local knowledge saves you time, money, and surprises during your remodel.
