They kept us informed throughout the project, and gave us a lot of creative ideas to transform the space of our home to exactly what we wanted. We are especially thankful for their insight in helping us choose the details of our home when we didn’t quite know where to start. The inside of our home is now bright and spacious thanks to them, and they also completely redid our backyard deck to give us a safe place to relax outside. We are very satisfied with our beautiful renovation and plan to use them again for any future projects. **★★★★★ — Claire Daddino, May 2025** > We had an excellent experience working with McCarthy Custom Homes on our laundry room remodel. Once we selected our finishes and materials, the process was incredibly hands-off on our end… they took the reins and managed everything seamlessly. The project was completed on time, with great attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. We truly appreciated their professionalism and ability to deliver exactly what we envisioned, without the stress. **★★★★★ — HU-211834504, Nov. 2023** > From my initial contact for a free estimate and dream session to the completion of my project, Chris and Shannon were top notch to work with!

We loved working with you and your home is AMAZING!! **★★★★★ — Christoph & Carly Klee, Sept. 2023** > Chris and Shannon go above and beyond. Our family cannot thank them enough for the work they have done. They turned our Master Bathroom into a full wetroom with stand-alone tub, beautfuil full-glass panels, two shouwer heads, and a goregous rustic finish. It was impeccable and we always receive tons of compliments! They also remodeled our (2) upstairs bathrooms and downstairs 1/2 bathroom, and we have now contracted them to build our deck and outdoor kitchen. > > It is really hard to find reliable contractors at times. We have had some nightmare experiences, but we trust the McCarthy's 100% and we recommend them whenever I can. They are transparent, consistent, and their work is extremely high quality-Chris is very detailed-oriented, and his crew! **★★★★★ — Marlene Woolf, March 2017** > Chris and Shannon were wonderful to work with on our bathroom remodel. They were helpful in picking out material with cost in mind. The work stayed on schedule and in budget. I love how the bathroom turned out! > The crew was great and cleaned up each day before they left. They showed up on time when they said they would which I really appreciate after using some other contractors on a different project. The quality of the work is excellent. > I would definitely use them for another job and/or recommend them to friends. **★★★★★ — The Murphys, Jan. 2017** > McCarthy Custom Homes has done many home remodeling projects for us over the past 3 years and they have always been such a pleasure to work with. The quality of their work is top notch and they always stand by everything they do. Even after a project is complete, they are always happy to stop by for a quick touch up to keep their work in great condition. McCarthy Custom has transformed our home and we couldn't be happier with the results. **Comment from McCarthy Custom Homes LLC.:** > Thank you Larissa! We enjoyed working with you as well. Happy to come back anytime!! **★★★★★ — Erin V, Oct. 2016** > We completed our first home construction project with McCarthy Custom homes. They were very friendly and easy to work with. Chris took time to walk us through the process, estimates and made helpful suggestions like where to add lighting and fixtures etc. They stayed within our budget and clearly talked through any changes and budget implications. They were at our home for almost 4 weeks and were very clean (no trash left out and picked up materials/tools the best they could every night). My son even missed them when they completed the work! He kept asking when the guys with the tools will be back. Their work was great quality and high attention to detail. At the end we were able to walk through and point out anything we'd like addressed and they did everything. One small thing that stood out to me was since they were doing some drywall and paint touch ups related to the project they took the extra few minutes just to patch up some areas in the same room that were not due to their construction project but were slightly damaged already. It obviously was very easy for them to do but they didn't have to, since it was already there so we appreciated that. Shannon was very helpful with scheduling and helping to walk us through material choices. We had never replaced carpet before and she went with us to a couple places and helped us to make the decision. **Comment from McCarthy Custom Homes LLC.:** > We really enjoyed working with you and look forward to any future projects you might have! Maybe we will being the little one some tool bags of his own:) **★★★★★ — colleenmelott, July 2013** > They were professional , clean, respectful, and on time. The work was done with pride and finished on time. When we ran into glitches they helped me work through them cost effectively and timely. They did excellent work and I would recommend them, and use them again. **★★★★★ — kdgerth, June 2013** > Chris not only does excellent work, he listens carefully to what you want and makes sure the finished product exceeds your expectations. Works withing your budget and suggests great ideas based on his years of experience. Our family has been extremely pleased with the projects Chris has done for us (stairwell balusters, ceiling fan, outside living space). I have recommended him to friends and would not hesitate to use him for my next project. **★★★★★ — seanscott22, Jan. 2013** > Chris and his company did a beautiful job on our renovation. They sealed off the area they were working on to prevent any dust from getting to the rest of the house, vacuumed and swept up every day and always left the most amazingly clean workspace I've ever seen. > > They have an amazing attention to detail and the craftsmanship was first rate. They did such great work, we're now trying to decide what to have them renovate next. ## Selected projects - [Outdoor Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-kitchens-pj-vj~143866) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 34 - [Master Bathroom Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bathroom-work-pj-vj~143928) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 8 - [Outdoor Fireplace \| Covered Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-fireplace-covered-patio-pj-vj~2485542) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 18 - [R & R home, Sammamish Wa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/r-and-r-home-sammamish-wa-pj-vj~2167551) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 19 - [Wine Cellar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wine-cellar-pj-vj~143919) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 6 - [Maple Valley Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maple-valley-remodel-pj-vj~7541690) - Location: Maple Valley, Washington - Photos: 16 - Description: This home had an original sears catalog kitchen complete with the 70s colors and carpet!

I love this porch by the way! A: Our clients furnish their projects so unfortunately I do not the exact store. I did do a search for you and found some similar chairs. http://www.patioliving.com/royal-teak-classic-patio-bar-stool-rlbarc/ **Q: What are the colors on the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These cabinets are from Canyon Creek, creme with a vintage glaze. http://www.canyoncreek.com/styles-finishes/stain-and-paint-colors/standard-stains-paints/standard-paints/ **Q: What did you put on your beams?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These were just stained with a natural stain. **Q: Stone color** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you tell me the name of this stone and the color mortar that was used, please? Really love this outdoor living area!! Thanks! A: I'm sorry, this project was actually done about 15 years ago. We do not have that info anymore. **Q: What type and color is the backsplash?** *(in Photo Questions)* We are having our kitchen cabinets redone - very similar to what is in the picture. They will be painted a cream color. Our granite is mostly black with dark brown chunks - no swirls! A: It's a cream ceramic subway with a bronze accent piece inserted every so often. I do not have the exact info anymore. **Q: Ballpark cost?** *(in Photo Questions)* Just curious about the ballpark price for this structure?
