### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Art Nunes, March 2026**

> We are thrilled with the complete transformation of our Kirkland condo, thanks to the exceptional team at Nip Tuck Remodel!
>
> From the moment we started, their process was seamless and professional. The project involved major demolition, removing old hardwood floors, baseboards, and 100% of the bathroom fixtures, cabinets, tile, and more- this was followed by stunning upgrades: beautiful new hardwood floors throughout, elegant tile fireplace and island lighting, complete remodels of both bathrooms, and fresh painting everywhere. Navigating the condo HOA rules and coordinating with neighbors added real complexity, but Nip Tuck handled every aspect with impressive skill, clear communication, and zero drama.
>
> We were especially impressed by their talented designer, who crafted an absolutely awesome design that was both highly functional and aesthetically breathtaking, it truly elevated the entire spaces beyond what we imagined.
>
> Transparency was outstanding from day one: they provided clear, upfront pricing and kept us fully informed on costs throughout. Any issues, big or small, were addressed promptly and professionally. The workmanship was top-notch—every detail was meticulously attended to, and the end result is flawless.
>
> If you're considering a remodel, especially in a condo or complex setting, we wholeheartedly recommend Nip Tuck Remodel. They turned a challenging project into a dream outcome, and we couldn't be happier with our beautiful new home. Thank you, Nip Tuck—you're the best!

**★★★★★ — Brooke Jones, March 2026**

> The Nip Tuck team was absolutely fantastic to work with.  We did a large remodel and the process was much smoother than prior providers we have worked with.  The standout to me was the project management focus.  The entire project was outlined in detail prior to signing final contracts.  This project plan was followed and kept up-to-date through the duration of the project.  Great job and highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — 54jnorton, Oct. 2025**

> We are six months into a 7-month remodel, in addition to the months of prior planning, and our experience has far exceeded our hopes. The Nip Tuck team is impressive! Each person has brought their own exceptional skills to the project: April's (owner) ability to develop and operationalize the big picture, Brian’s (project manager) professional oversight and ability to problem solve in a fair and principled way, Allison’s (designer) ability to create beautiful and functional living spaces with so many factors to contend with, including traits of the home and home owners, Hernan’s (lead carpenter) quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, Jesse’s (service manager) efficiency and contagious smile, and Tyler’s (production manager) and Noah’s (carpenter) ability to step into the job without missing a beat. Hillary (interior designer) is putting beautiful finishing touches on the house with furnishings and decor. Together the team’s creativity, problem-solving ability and communication has made this project appear almost seamless from our perspective.
>
> The Nip Tuck people and business model have made this an exceptional experience for us.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Jennifer,
> Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I couldn't be more pleased or humbled for the specific and exceptional comments about the team here at Nip Tuck. Remodeling the home that you and Tom custom built so many years ago to refresh and serve you for many years to come has been a priviledge. We are so close to being complete ! ~ April

**★★★★★ — Kris Zigman, Sept. 2025**

> Nip Tuck first remodeled our kitchen, and we were so impressed that we asked them to return for several additional projects. I have never worked with a contractor of this caliber. From the owner to the designer, the crew leads, and every member of the team, each person who entered our home approached their work with exceptional skill, care, and professionalism. Measurements were double-checked, and extra attention was given to details—such as adjusting for crooked walls and ceilings—so that everything fit perfectly. They even repaired squeaky floors before laying the new flooring. The results are absolutely stunning.
>
> I want to give special recognition to Allison, our designer. Having little knowledge of kitchen design, I relied on her expertise throughout the process. She patiently answered my many questions, offered honest and thoughtful advice, and presented a wide range of options. I began with only a vague vision, but with her guidance, we created something far beyond what I imagined.
>
> What impressed me most is their commitment to standing behind their work. A year after the remodel, the team returned and noticed a small crack in the ceiling that I hadn’t even seen. Without hesitation, they scheduled a time to repair it. That level of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about their integrity and dedication to quality.
>
> If anyone is considering a remodel or home project, I wholeheartedly recommend Nip Tuck. They are unmatched in craftsmanship, professionalism, and care.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Wow! Kris, thank you so much for the wonderful testimonial!! We absolutely loved working with you and your family on this project and couldn't be happier with the results.  Your specific praise for Allison means a lot and is a reflection of her care and dedication to her work.

**★★★★★ — Corey O'Connor, Aug. 2025**

> The pictures are a small static slice of the full remodel. They don't convey how the house has kept the character but been molded to our life. The kitchen went from a cramped afterthought (I'd run into the ceiling) to a bright, open and welcoming space. Exactly what I was hoping for. That's only one room tho: The whole house had the same care and attention applied. We even found a way to incorporate a nice setup for my cats. All within budget and on time - even considering the challenges on the way.
>
> When shopping for remodeling we got proposals from several contractors and real estate agents. Nip Tuck impressed us with the considerate and detailed planning. We had numerous concerns of whether remodeling was even a worthwhile project. We received several all-round reasonable proposals. Nip Tuck, in particular, demonstrated a  clear competence in project planning and being responsive to our situation. My partner and I were and still are amazed (and inspired) by April's competence.
>
> Brian was seemingly infallible: Every problem we seemed to encounter was... suddenly not a problem and resolved or explained. Fantastic all round.
>
> When my partner was describing how nice one of Nip Tuck's employees was at resolving their concerns: I knew they were talking about Noah. Lovely carpentry; lovely person.
>
> Our situation, like many, was unique. The risk was high that the design of the house was going to end up a mess between existing construction and our esoteric requirements. Allison managed to thread the needle precisely: We ended up with a design that looks lovely and will last.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Corey,
> Thank you so much for the thoughtful testimonial and sharing how our team brought your and Daphne's vision to life!  We are over the moon that you are thrilled with your results and have a space you can build a lifetime of memories.  That last pic with the kitties sitting in their new perch is the best! ~ April

**★★★★★ — Scott G, Aug. 2025**

> We had an incredible outcome working with Nip Tuck on the remodel of our main living spaces in our 1978 home. Their team crafted a remarkable design that completely opened up our previously small and separate kitchen, dining room, living room, and entryway. Having planned a remodel since purchasing the home in 2007, we had even created several design ideas ourselves. However, Nip Tuck’s designer surprised us with a bold, open floorplan that made the most of the existing architecture; incorporating a large walk in pantry and a huge wood clad aluminum slider opening onto our 2nd story deck (that we initially thought was beyond our budget!). It was a concept we never would have imagined, and we are thrilled with how it turned out.
>
> We are so glad we invested time upfront in the design process. The best remodeling companies understand just how crucial this stage is. While it is not inexpensive, it is well worth the investment. Spending more time and money on design ensures that you will truly love the final space.
>
> We are happy with how the design was carried out during construction. The project was completed on schedule and within budget. Nip Tuck ran a lean construction crew, managed the project efficiently, and brought in an extra contract carpenter to keep everything on track. Even the production manager stepped in to help when needed.
>
> Now, a year after completion, we are still delighted with our new space. It is a joy to live in our home, and we look forward to working with Nip Tuck again for future remodeling projects.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Scott,
> Thank you so much for sharing your experience!  We had an amazing time working with you and your wife to reimagine your space!  We love hearing how thrilled you are with it after a year of experiencing the space! We look forward to working with you again! ~ April

**★★★★★ — HU-108055145, May 2024**

> We had a wonderful experience working with Nip Tuck Remodeling. They remodeled our kitchen and bathroom and did a few other projects in our home. They were helpful, always available to answer questions, and were very detail-oriented. We appreciated that all members of the team were honest, executed all of the elements of the project well, and worked efficiently. We worked with people on all levels of staff and seniority. The people we had the most contact with were April (the owner), Kyle (the project manager), Emma (designer), Hosea (lead carpenter), Noah (carpenter), Jesse (who helped with many aspects of the project), and Rachel (who works in the office). Each of them was friendly, positive, upbeat, and highly skilled. Nip Tuck guided us through all aspects of the project, from design through the building process. They made this overwhelming project doable. They were thorough, explained things well, and listened carefully to our wants, needs, and questions. We were very pleased with the results from the day the project was complete, and appreciate our remodeled home more and more as time passes. We highly recommend Nip Tuck Remodeling for those looking to take on a home renovation.

**★★★★★ — tashalex, May 2024**

> This is a long overdue review of Nip Tuck Remodeling and the great staff they have that worked with us on our project. Remodeling a home is stressful with all of the decisions to be made and April and Allison started our journey by carefully walking us through the budget and design phase. They struck a good balance of giving us time to consider the options and guide us to make decisions so that the project could move forward on time.
>
> Allison has a great design sense - seeking our opinions and sharing her professional know how to make all the functionality and materials coalesce into a beautiful final product. Our kitchen in particular, is a work of art and so well laid out for cooking, cleaning, and entertaining. We also feel she did a great job of updating our spaces while keeping some of the original 1968 design pieces in place and still make sense like the old fireplaces & the original floor to ceiling wood windows in the main living spaces. We loved her idea to keep the fun original orange color in our kids bathroom by integrating it into new sleek faucets.
>
> What's truly impressive is how Nip Tuck kept to our timeline as we only had about 4 months to be out of our house. There were setbacks and Brian consistently found ways to stay on time. Brian and the entire construction team (Jesse, Noe, Tyler, Noah, & Steve) were all professional and easy to work with. They take pride in their work and we're so grateful to them for what they've expertly created.
>
> With any project there are always some challenges and we did have a few. For example, it was next to impossible to match the few new doors we got with our original 1968 doors. Nip Tuck came as close as they could, even sending the doors out to the best color matching business around. My advice to other homeowners is to replace all the doors if you want a wood grain or just keep all of the old doors to avoid this problem. The other option is to paint all the doors if you're willing to go this route. With other challenges, Nip Tuck was quick to problem solve or offer a different solution.
>
> All in all, we are very happy with how everything turned out and we're thankful to Nip Tuck for all their hard work, problem solving, and fairness. They truly worked with us on everything and created a beautiful home that we are elated to be living in day in and day out.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Tasha, we absolutely enjoyed working in your house and with you and your husband!  There was so much potential in the original structure and we are so glad to see it brought to life in a space that delights you.  You all are amazing people and we hope to work with anyone you know that is interested in remodeling -- we LOVE working with people like you!

**★★★★★ — HU-467547458, March 2024**

> We hired Nip Tuck Remodeling to repair some water damage to our house. My wife and I were absolutely amazed with the level of professionalism each person we dealt with had with us as well as with our 2 kids.
>
> Kyle, the Project Manager, was fantastic and did a great job keeping us up to date and informed throughout the entire process. He was a great point of contact for us to have.
>
> Each of the guys, Jessie, Noah and Jose were VERY nice. They were courteous and respectful, they cleaned up after themselves, they didn’t use any bad language. We could not have been happier with the amazing level of service we got from each person we dealt with.
>
> We have several other projects and will definitely use these guys again.

**★★★★★ — nhhughes40, Feb. 2024**

> We are very happy with the work Nip Tuck did for us and highly recommend them.  We were looking for a design/build firm that would help us through the entire project.  After living in our house for 40 years, it was time for a full house refresh.  Nip Tuck expanded and remodeled our kitchen and opened up sight lines on the first floor while still retaining separate living, dining, kitchen and family rooms.  Our project also included moving the laundry upstairs, redesigning the primary bathroom, and refreshing the second bathroom and powder room.  Emma and April were great to work with during the design process.  Once the design was approved, Emma worked with us over the next few weeks to select materials (cabinets, floor coverings, tile, plumbing and lighting fixtures, wall color, etc.)  At the end of the design phase, Nip Tuck provided a fully itemized budget and time schedule which became the basis for the construction contract.  We really appreciated Nip Tuck's up-front planning and that went into the project.  Construction went very smoothly, with weekly on-site meetings with the project manager and designer.  Communication with us during the project was excellent.  Nip Tuck adhered to the time schedule, with only a 2-3 week delay due to the kitchen sink which arrived with a crack and had to be re-ordered.  Follow-up after project construction was outstanding, with Jesse taking care of any adjustments or little things we noticed after moving in.  We also hired Nip Tuck to do several small projects (change light switches and outlets, install new baseboards) on an hourly basis to complete our full house refresh in the remaining rooms.  Everyone at Nip Tuck was great to work with and they do excellent work.  We are very happy customers!

**★★★★★ — judith morel, Dec. 2023**

> We first met the owner and staff members at a local remodeled homes event in our area. We loved the work that was performed at the owner's home. It was thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed. We then interviewed the company to discuss remodeling our family room and update a guest bedroom. April, the owner, met us at our home, then provided a rough quote for our project. Next we met with a project estimator who contacted various contractors for a more precise quote. After agreeing to the project, we met with a designer who presented the estimate, the timeline, and the next steps. Our designer helped us make important decisions on: cabinets, cabinet pulls, lighting placement, quartz countertop treatment, sink, faucets, carpeting, paint and trim colors. All the materials were ordered prior to starting the demolition and the remodel. We truly appreciated this business model! Due to the expert coordination with the project manager, carpenters and various sub-contractors -- our entire project from start-to-finish was only 6 weeks. The outcome is beautiful, there were no surprises, and we are extremely pleased. The Nip Tuck staff and their sub contractors are cheerful, considerate, and very professional.
>
> The strongest endorsement that we can provide is that we would hire Nip Tuck again for another project at our home.

**★★★★★ — Josh, Dec. 2023**

> We worked with Nip Tuck on a kitchen remodel in 2021. They were very professional through the whole process and were the most communicative contractors I have ever worked with. The design process went smoothly, and many great suggestions were made that we had never thought of. The kitchen turned out beautifully and we are very thankful to have worked with such a great team.

**★★★★ — Michael Mayo, Dec. 2023**

> Very professional with many resources and lots of experience.  Any time there was a hiccup during our job they followed through to make sure everything was resolved to our satisfaction.  Always responsive and determined to do an excellent job.

**★★★★★ — Lisa Beneson, Dec. 2023**

> We are a family with 4 kids and 2 dogs, and we were putting off a full home remodel for years because it seemed like it would be a lot of work and stressful.  My husband kept pushing it off because he was so worried about finding a good design/build company (we had heard horror stories).  I finally convinced him that our house was falling apart, and we needed to find a good company to do all of the work for us.  We were impressed from start to finish with the communication, teamwork, and quality of work that Nip Tuck brought to the process.  Every single person who entered our home was kind, friendly, respectful, hard-working and knew their skills well.  We appreciated how they walked us through every step of the way and were constantly communicating about every detail.  We were able to live at home for over half of the remodel, and it was incredible how they could work around our large family and keep all of us safe and respect our privacy.   Nip Tuck planned everything so well, that despite a few minor setbacks (like snow and ice storms), they were still able to complete the remodel on the exact date they had predicted 6 months earlier.  We are SO pleased with every single thing that Nip Tuck did to make our home function better for our family.  Everything turned out gorgeous and works so much more efficiently for our needs.  We cannot rave enough about how wonderful the Nip Tuck team was to work with from the beginning to the end.  We HIGHLY recommend Nip Tuck to everyone we know!  They are the outstanding amongst the outstanding!

**★★★★★ — Larry and Grace Ostrom, Dec. 2023**

> We had a great experience working with Nip Tuck Remodeling.  They completely transformed a large poorly designed master bath into a warm beautiful space.  They took our ideas and theirs and blended them into a perfect result.

**★★★★★ — virginiahen11, Dec. 2023**

> The whole team at Nip Tuck Remodeling was a joy to work with. From start to finish they listened, were detailed oriented, patient with changes and considerate of our home and family. Their tiler was amazing! He created this custom tile pattern on the floor for me. His patience, attention to detail and happy attitude made him a star of the project. The GC, Kyle, showed up every day with a smile, kind words for the many questions from my young children and happy demeanor.

**★★★★★ — Dennis Morgan, Dec. 2023**

> Nip Tuck Remodeling was awesome to work with. This was our first remodeling project so they guided my wife and I through the entire process, answering all our questions. We had our first floor remodeled and every morning when we come downstairs and go into our kitchen it still makes us smile.
>
> Our designer Allison came up with a beautiful design that both my wife and I loved despite our different tastes. Brian was terrific in keeping the project on time and communicated on a regular basis so were always aware of what was going on. He also kept in touch after the project was completed to make sure everything was still good which was appreciated.
>
> We will definitely be using Nip Tuck when it comes time to remodel the upstairs!

**★★★★★ — Kaiyang L, Dec. 2023**

> April, Allison, Brian, Steve, Jesse were all super professional and easy to work with.  They did an wonderful job remodeling my house and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation by Allison to the final touches, the team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and craftsmanship.  Living in the house for 2 years after the remodel, great quality, a couple of small issues like paint retouch, very responsive follow-ups.
>
> The Nip Tuck team exceeded my expectations. They seamlessly transformed my vision into reality, creating a space that not only reflects my style but also maximizes utility. Many areas were customized, front door, stairs, kitchen cabinet, etc.  They helped picking independent vendors turned out to be great as well.  They have a high bar for vendors they work with.  The attention to detail was remarkable, and the project was completed within budget and on time.
>
> The communication throughout the process was transparent, and any concerns or questions were promptly addressed. The entire team exhibited a high level of skill, dedication, and integrity. I highly recommend the company.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Kaiyang,
> Thank you for the review after 2 years!  We are all so pleased to hear you are happy in the space.  We just looked over the transformation from our original photos and...wow.  You made amazing selections to help us create a beautiful space.
> As with every remodel, there are usually a few things that you notice after-the-fact and we are always happy to come back and figure out a solution.  Thank you for giving us the chance to visit and make it right.
> Happy Holidays ~The whole team

**★★★★★ — Sandra Penney, Dec. 2023**

> We had such a great experience working with Nip Tuck Remodeling! The team has so much experience and provided thoughtful and astute recommendations throughout the process. This was our first remodel experience, and I’m so glad we chose to work with Nip Tuck – so many of our friends have had bad remodel experiences with other providers, and the Nip Tuck team never let us down. The crew always showed up when scheduled, the pricing was super clear, the quality and craftmanship were excellent, and there were no surprises at the end of the process. It’s been a few years since we did the big remodel, and everything, from caulking to drywall to flooring, is still as lovely as the day of installation.
>
> One of the great things about working with Nip Tuck is that they are there for clients in the years after the large project. For example, we recently needed some carpentry work done in the kitchen along with a few other small projects, and Nip Tuck fit us into their schedule, working on these in between their big remodeling jobs. If you’ve tried to get expert carpentry done in King County for a small project, you know how challenging it is to find someone. Jesse did an amazing job making sure all the little details were taken care of, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Sandra,
> I can't believe it's been 3 years since we did your original remodel.  Thank you for letting us know you are still so pleased with the process and the results.  Our team really enjoyed coming back to see you this year and it's great to hear that Jesse was wonderful (we think, as usual:)).
> Happy Holidays,
> April and the Team

**★★★★★ — HU-881395688, Dec. 2023**

> On time, on budget. Responsive to our wishes and requirements. Excellent design service. Managed supply chain issues very well during the COVID disruptions. Followed all COVID guidelines. We are very pleased with eh quality of work and the qualty of the design.

**★★★★★ — K I, Dec. 2023**

> We had our kitchen remodeled by them in 2020. They were amazing to work with!  After work had to stop due to COVID shutdowns, they came back a few weeks later and were extremely careful and safe, while finishing on time. We are thrilled with the results and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality remodeling company!

**★★★★★ — 8412clydehill, Feb. 2023**

> We completed a whole house remodel in 2022 with Nip Tuck and feel so lucky to have found them through a referral. We have a rambler that has had several updates over the years but we were wanting a cohesive feel from one end of the house to the other. We were so excited to see Allison's initial design plan that there was no hesitation to continue the process with Nip Tuck. From the beginning until the end, we were included in all phases of the remodeling process. Most of the materials were ordered well in advanced which kept them on the expected schedule. We were living out of town during the remodel but was kept informed & updated through a wonderful system called Builder Trend. We also looked forward to our weekly phone calls with Brian, our PM. We were fully prepared and warned by friends that didn't use Nip Tuck to hate the remodeling process but the entire remodel was so unexpectedly enjoyable! Although we were excited to move back into our gorgeous home, we had some sadness when we said goodbye to the crew. We really can't say enough about the staff at Nip Tuck. April has done a wonderful job hiring a talented team of experts. Allison, Brian, Jesse, Marv, Noah and all the rest of the wonderful staff are truly the best. I would not hesitate at all to use them in any future projects and neither should you.

**★★★★★ — juliepe33, Nov. 2022**

> We had a fantastic experience with Nip Tuck Remodeling, and couldn’t recommend April and her team more highly! We’d been planning to remodel our family room and kitchen for a few years but had always been overwhelmed by the scope of the project. We were also wary because we had heard so many stories of how stressful the remodeling process can be. But from the initial design meetings through the final steps of construction, we knew we were in good hands with Nip Tuck. The whole Nip Tuck team was professional, dependable, on-time, organized and a joy to work with. We appreciated how our designer, Emma, captured the essence of what we were hoping to achieve in our space with her beautiful design. She then walked us through materials selection, which would have been so overwhelming without her experience and advice. Once we moved from design into construction, project manager Brian, lead carpenter Hosea, and the whole team of staff and subcontractors were outstanding. They kept the project on schedule, communicated clearly about any changes or challenges along the way, and went above and beyond to ensure all work was done with excellence. We are so grateful to the Nip Tuck team for an experience and end result that far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with our new space!

**★★★★★ — Lori Gross, May 2022**

> Absolutely fantastic experience with Nip Tuck on our first floor remodel. We moved the kitchen, laundry, added a pantry, moved walls and redid the stairs. Nip Tuck did it all on time. The entire team especially Allison, our designer were amazing. Highly recommend.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Such high praise and we absolutely loved working with both of you! The project turned out simply stunning.

**★★★★★ — HU-881395688, Nov. 2020**

> Nip Tuck is very disciplined, and their project schedule is not just a guess or suggestion it is a total commitment. Their design assistance was very valuable by taking our peculiarities and adding their advice and suggestions ending up with a great design. During the project their folks always asked our opinion about the little things (like exact placement) and offered their suggestions to make sure the end installation was perfect. Their quoting process was accurate and we knew what we were getting involved with from the very beginning. We would definitely recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Emily Christensen, Oct. 2020**

> We have used Nip Tuck Remodeling twice already and have no doubt we would use them again.  They are extremely organized, consistent, polite, timely and within budget.  We are so happy with the craftsmanship of all the work that was done.  I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Thanh-Tung Ho, Feb. 2020**

> Nip Tuck Remodeling made some bold moves, where we took down walls and widened entry ways into the bathroom and our kitchen.  Our home is a hub of activity for family gatherings so the design-build team meticulously went through the list of needs and wants and allowed us to have these spaces unique to our taste.  The team members were so good, from the demolition through the final tile installation and carpentry.

**★★★★★ — Shelley Johnson, Nov. 2019**

> April and her crew are wonderful.  They listened to my needs and created the most amazing laundry/office/craft room you can imagine.  Everyday is a joy walking into this room.  They were on time, on budget and clean.  I will be using them for many future projects.

**★★★★★ — Kaori Leong, Aug. 2019**

> This is a long overdue review about how amazing April & her team were to work with!  Every step of the way, everything was explained thoroughly and all questions answered thoughtfully -- the entire team took great care of us in creating a home for us.  I really appreciated how organized they were, how great they were in their communication, how they didn't make a big deal of any hiccups (that are bound to happen in a home remodel) and how everyone on the team made us feel like we were the only clients they had.  This was our very first big home renovation and we are so glad we had the opportunity to make our home great with Nip Tuck's help & guidance.  Thank you, April!

**★★★★★ — Danielle Adams, Aug. 2019**

> April and her team of esteemed professionals were a joy to work with.  They communicate every step along the way, and there were no surprises. Their online schedule tool was incredibly helpful and every day I knew what to expect. Allison, their designer, was very thoughtful and was genuinely interested in what we wanted - not what they thought we wanted or should have. People remarked on how CLEAN they kept the space during demo and throughout the entire process - which was very nice. I couldn't be more happy with our spaces that they designed and remodeled - we will be sure to enjoy for years to come. Thank you to the entire Nip Tuck team (Jesse, Marv, Allison, April, Kip, Julie).

**★★★★★ — Janet & Dan Shovlin, April 2019**

> We had two separate projects with Nip Tuck, and we're really happy with both our new master bath and kitchen/family room areas.   They worked with us to come up with designs that we are really happy with, and stayed within our budget.  Their experience with and skill in helping us make decisions about cabinetry, lighting and flooring was great.  Communication was excellent - We had a timetable from the outset, so we knew what was happening and when, and there were also weekly meetings.  Throughout they showed a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.  Both of our projects finished up on time.  All who worked on our projects were professional and courteous.

**★★★★★ — Tracy Simpson, Oct. 2018**

> The ENTIRE Nip Tuck staff is so great to work with. This was my first remodeling project, so they guided me though the entire process which made it extremely smooth for me.
> They really listen to understand what you want and desire and help make the best decisions along the way.  And they don't stop until every last detail is exactly as you wish. I highly recommend Nip Tuck to all my friends and family.

**★★★★★ — Terri Sanders, Oct. 2018**

> We had an excellent experience with Nip Tuck Remodeling for our recent house project.  The project truly was on time, on budget and done with purpose as advertised.  We added new hardwoods/stained old hardwoods throughout the main floor, added a new entryway stair system, combined our kitchen/dining room by removing a wall, painted the entire first floor (including wood work), and made other minor updates to the first floor of the house.  Both my husband and I are very happy with the outcome and love our updated home!
>
> From the start, we had a great experience.   April and Julie, in the front office, made us feel like our project was important at all times.  The designer, Allison, was outstanding and so helpful for me in my decision making process.  David, the project manager, was excellent...patient, organized, communicated everything clearly, and kept everything running right on time.  All of the subcontractors were great.  They all did high quality work, were on time and came when expected, were personable and trustworthy in my home.
>
> Buildertrend, the app that was used for my project, was very helpful.  It had budget/payment info, a live work schedule, pictures, communication, etc.  I appreciated that!
>
> I've had major construction done in my house two other times and was happy both times.  But my experience with Nip/Tuck truly went above and beyond my other experiences.  April and her team run an excellent company/service and I couldn't recommend them higher.   Thank you!

I had a fixed budget and April worked closely with me to make sure I made this..which was a high priority for my husband. The team ..and subcontractors were managed to a published/updated/ detailed project plan on builderstrend which was perfect for me. All of the team members were very easy to work with and communicate to. Most importantly, I love my new kitchen.

**★★★★★ — Paula Begoun, Sept. 2018**

> April and her team are exceptionally detailed in ways I never could have imagined a contractor would be. Even through weather delays and unexpected problems she was professional and caring and her team were exactly the same. I never thought I would say this for any remodel but it was worth every penny. My home looks amazing.

**★★★★★ — \_bryan\_cole\_, March 2018**

> Nip Tuck recently completed a large remodel for our family's 1980's Redmond home. We have lived in the home for over 15 years. Although we still loved the character, it was in need of a major overhaul.  We wanted it to feel brand new but retain that character.  Almost every room in our home received attention, including full downstairs remodel of the kitchen, great room, laundry, and powder rooms.  The results were beyond our expectations!  We love that we get to live here for many more years.
>
> April (the owner) was highly engaged from the onset of the project as we worked thru design, estimates, and expectations.  Her team of professionals including our project manager David hand held us through the entire project. As a professional project manager myself, I was impressed with the online site/app that allowed us to track the daily schedule, interact with the team, and manage payments. There were weekly status meetings to make sure everything was going as planned.  I highly recommend the team at Nip Tuck and will work with them in the future!

**★★★★★ — tdepue, Feb. 2018**

> April and her team did an astounding job remodeling our sad and dated late 80s kitchen. We knew what we wanted going in, but April and her PM, David, brought design ideas to the table that we hadn't considered, and in some cases, were just plain better. This was a real partnership because April and David listened, brainstormed, and responded collaboratively and timely. And the schedule was a treat -- we're still in disbelief that a 14-week, completely torn-down-to-the-studs, gut remodel had a detailed project schedule that was accurate TO THE DAY. If you are looking for a design/build firm with an impeccable eye for design, relentless attention to detail, efficient and effective project management, and skilled trade subcontractors who are absolutely at the top of their game, Nip Tuck is for you.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Thank you for such a glowing review!   We couldn't be happier that you not only love the end result, but the process as well.

**★★★★★ — Kimberley Gray, Jan. 2018**

> April and her team were wonderful to work with. She was happy to brainstorm with me and patient in explaining why thing would or wouldn't work.  Having a master calendar was very useful for knowing what would be done and when.The work was well done and we were able to complete it on time and on budget. I'm looking forward to working with her again.

**★★★★★ — Heidi Yonago, Sept. 2017**

> We recently hired Nip Tuck Remodeling for a renovation on our kitchen.  We were happy with the layout of our kitchen but wanted to do a complete "face-lift" on it, as the finishes were outdated.  Working with April and her team was great.  They were organized and had excellent communication with my husband and I throughout the duration of the project.  They take the time to complete a thorough "planning" phase before the project ever begins; therefore, you know exactly what to expect and when it will happen moving forward.  The designer was extremely helpful in assisting us with selecting finishes and making our vision become a reality.  The schedule they provided us was followed to the "T" and we came in right at the overall budget we had initially discussed.  There were two issues that required attention on the project.  Both of these issues were handled in a very professional manner with excellent communication and reassurance that they would be resolved - and they were.  We could not be happier with the outcome of our kitchen and would certainly work with Nip Tuck on future projects.

**★★★★★ — CK King, Aug. 2017**

> We hired April and the Nip Tuck team for a complete first floor remodel of our 1973 home including removal of walls, 2 bathroom upgrades, and full reconfiguration of a tiny, dated kitchen. After meeting with numerous contractors it was clear that April has a great eye for design and in fact she started conceptually designing my new kitchen at our first meeting and walk-through, long before being hired. Other contractors were unwilling to share any ideas, or simply didn't have any! April was highly responsive throughout the project and addressed all questions, potential issues, and requested changes quickly; we came in on time within 2 days and on budget with just a couple small change orders. I have talked to many, many friends and neighbors who are amazed at that level of project success as it is very rare.  I'm not posting photos of our gorgeous results as I know the Nip Tuck team will be posting them soon!

**★★★★★ — Chapman Construction, LLC, July 2017**

> Nip Tuck remodeling has a great leadership team. I have had the pleasure of meeting them, and appreciate their approach and their willingness to help me with my own growing business. Would definitely collaborate with them on future projects, and know that the project would be carried out professionally and with a great attention to detail.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Troy, Thank you so much for the kind words!  We are definitely looking forward to an opportunity to work together soon!

**★★★★★ — Jackie Anthony, May 2017**

> After a very disappointing experience with a contractor we hired to remodel our bathrooms, we interviewed several contractors and selected April and team at Nip Tuck Remodeling.  We couldn't be happier!  My main concern was communication and an on-time delivery.  April listened and exceeded my expectations!  Nip Tuck works with subs they have had relationships with for many years and not once did any of them no-show or delay the job.  Incredible experience - I can't say enough great things about them!  Everything is perfect and the attention to detail is outstanding.  We absolutely love our new kitchen/dining room space!!

**★★★★★ — Carol Nadalin, March 2017**

> We absolutely love our new Master bedroom sanctuary and spa like Bathroom. We were quiet pleased with the service Nip Tuck provided, from our first contact to completion.
> April and her team were professional, on time and reliable. Everyone we worked with at Nip Tuck exceeded our expectations. The entire process was truly a positive and rewarding experience. We had weekly progress meetings to discuss any schedule changes which there were none.
> Attention to detail and communication was truly outstanding. They were also great about making suggestions that added to the beauty and functionality of the Master bath.

**★★★★★ — twicethefun, Oct. 2016**

> We recently completed a major remodel of our kitchen, living room, dining room, office and entry (including the removal of walls and conversion of 2 fireplaces) and had an incredible experience working with April and her team at Nip Tuck!  I initially set up a meeting with April because of the reviews on Houzz. What caught my attention was the repeated praise of their meticulous planning, attention to detail and the rigor that they put into the schedule, ensuring everything goes as smoothly as possible.  I echo all of that praise and would add that they care so deeply about their clients’ happiness at every stage and satisfaction with the end product that they go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. Remodeling is never an easy process, but choosing the right contractor to partner with you on the journey can make all the difference in the world!  I highly recommend Nip Tuck Remodeling and would work with them again in a heartbeat!

**★★★★★ — jenn002, Oct. 2016**

> Thank you Nip Tuck Remodeling for transforming our kitchen and whole first floor!  As a family with three young kids, we needed a living space that would function well and stand the test of time.  April and her team listened to our wishes and met with us every week to make sure our goals were being met.  We stayed in the home during the remodel and Dave, the project manager, made certain that there would be minimal impact to our daily routines.  The calendar that Dave created was instrumental in keeping the project on time and allowed us to plan for each phase of remodel.  Rochelle, the designer on our project,was amazing!  She took the stress out of product selection and even met us at a design center so we could see the products together.  Her energy and enthusiasm made the process fun.  We love our new space and never want to leave our home!  At the end, the project was on-time and on-budget.  Nip Tuck Remodeling exceeded our expectations.

**★★★★★ — Patricia Sullivan, Oct. 2016**

> We hired Nip Tuck to remodel our kitchen. We dreaded the remodel process because of all the decisions that need to be made and the time and uncertainty of the process. April Bettinger of Nip Tuck took complete charge of the planning and walked us through every step, from what we wanted done through what materials and colors we wanted to use. April and her crew gave us helpful suggestions. Once the decisions were made, Nip Tuck created a schedule for the work only after all of the contractors were ready to do the work on our project and didn't have conflicts with other jobs. The schedule was clear and was followed precisely--the project was finished ON TIME. The contractors protected our living space and cleaned up after each day's work. The contractors were very friendly, hard-working and efficient. The finished work is beautiful and precise.
>
> Nip Tuck used an app that allowed us to track the schedule, see photos of the ongoing work and communicate directly with project manager. We felt involved in the process and no decision was made without contacting us first. We strongly recommend Nip Tuck as a contractor--they made a dreaded process very easy.

**★★★★★ — Inviniti Cellar Design, Sept. 2016**

> Inviniti Cellar Design was hired by April of Nip Tuck Remodeling to design and install a custom wine cellar as part of the major renovation they recently completed.  It was a complete joy to work with April who was extremely well organized and a great communicator of project timelines and decision points.  Her very friendly demeanor made the process enjoyable from start to finish. I would strongly recommend contacting April of Nip Tuck Remodeling if you are considering any size remodeling project.

**★★★★★ — Kate S, Aug. 2016**

> April and everyone at Nip Tuck Remodeling are simply fantastic!  We have done several remodels both larger and small with several other general contractors and I can definitely say that working with April and Nip Tuck was head and shoulders above everyone else.  The attention to detail, communication and quality are second to none.  With April and Steve our "super" supervisor, our very large and expensive (\>500k) project came in on time and on budget as promised.  There were very few hiccups along the way, but when they did come up April and Steve took care of things immediately always ensuring we were happy and felt good with the solutions.  We will definitely work with Nip Tuck again and I recommend them without reservations.

**★★★★★ — jamesonjeffreyday, Aug. 2016**

> April is very good at communicating with her customers,  She provided us with a detailed outline at the outset of how the project would proceed.  The Nip Tuck crew stayed on track with that schedule throughout the entire project,  The individuals performing the actual work seemed quite experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. Her mantra is "good enough is not good enough."  She wants her customers to be extremely happy with the end results and will do whatever she can do make this happen.  For example, there had been a mistake with one of the cabinets.  I was disappointed but thought I could live with it.  April would not hear of it and said it needed it to be put right.  I really appreciated that she wanted to make this remodel to as close to perfect as possible.

**Comment from Nip Tuck Remodeling:**

> Thank you so much for the glowing review.  I too am very happy that we could get that linen cabinet right in the end.  Lovely project and we really enjoyed building it.

**★★★★★ — United Wholesale Supply, Inc:  The Kitchen Studio, March 2016**

> I have known April for years and always wanted to be able to work with her, but had to earn my way in.  She takes a lot of pride in what she does and therefor will only work with suppliers and subcontractors that she can trust to perform to her expectations.   I have had the pleasure of being one of those suppliers for the past year and I'm thoroughly impressed at the level of detail and jobsite control that are followed.  She is easy to work with, very knowledgeable,  fun to be around and surrounds herself with great people.  I wish more of my clients were like Nip Tuck Remodeling, and more specifically, like April, Patty and David.  I hope to be able to work with them for years and years to come.

**★★★★★ — NW Home Designers, March 2016**

> Let me just say Nip Tuck Remodeling understands the need for complete detail prior to starting a project.  They understand that in order to have a successful project most (if not all) of the design and construction questions should not only be addressed but resolved.  April and her staff are a pleasure to work with.  I am a interior designer and have worked with many contractors. I am quite fortunate to work alongside Nip Tuck Remodeling.  I highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — amisilverman, Sept. 2015**

> Nip Tuck Remodeling is fantastic! My two upstairs bathrooms are beautiful and we wished we had found NTR when we had done other work. Two bathrooms and a schedule that was followed to a T! The quality of product and installation is first class. You will not be disappointed and April is very open to feedback. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job and Melinda Slater of Slater Interiors was a joy to work with.

**★★★★★ — maryhammons, Aug. 2015**

> In December of 2014 our house flooded, destroying almost half of our livable space, including the kitchen.  We had long contemplated a remodel, but this event forced our hand.  We scanned the market for contractors, narrowed the field to two and hired April/Nip Tuck.  To be honest, we didn't know what to expect and were a bit nervous.  The bottom line, though, is that April and her team and subcontractors did an exceptional job.  They listened to us, kept us calm, and delivered our project in a professional, courteous and timely manner.  Her slogan of "On time, on budget, on purpose" is more than just a platitude, it's how she does business.  The result is a spectacular kitchen which we love to cook in and just be in.  It is contemporary and beautiful without being ostentatious.  The balance of the work was creative and has made for a very livable house with efficient spaces, including the conversion of a sauna into a laundry nook with a sliding barn door on the upper level and a reconfigured and discrete powder room on the main floor.   Finally, April was absolutely fantastic in dealing with our insurer.  Calm, confident and persistent in pointing out the flaws and gaps in the adjuster's process.  We recovered more than three times the initial offer and April was instrumental in achieving that. We would HIGHLY recommend April and Nip Tuck to anyone considering a remodel.

**★★★★★ — jmoy76, June 2015**

> We worked with April and her crew to do a major bathroom renovation on our 1961 home.  The project involved turning a woefully outdated and undersized master bathroom into a much larger, modern and more functional bathroom with a walk-in closet by taking over the floor space from an adjacent hallway bathroom, and relocating the hallway bathroom.  We also had some additional painting, mill work, and door replacement on the main floor.  We spent about 5 months working w/ April to plan the complete project, and another 4 months for demo/construction.
>
> We highly recommend Nip Tuck Remodeling.  Very thorough, easy and pleasant to work with, and great work.  No cost overruns, and the job was completed on schedule.  We are very happy with the whole process and with the quality and appearance of the end result.
>
> Here are some of the things that really stood out:
> \- Upfront planning and preparation was very detailed.  April works on a fixed cost bid basis, not time and materials.  This required a lot of upfront work and back and forth to get to a firm bid that was within our budget.  This process was a bit tedious and time consuming, but well worth the effort, as we knew exactly what we were paying and what we were getting in return.  We had a few areas in the budget where a firm cost couldn’t be provided until they started doing demo, but were given allowances in the budget for those items which turned out to be fairly close to the actual cost.  Other than a few relatively minor change orders that we made during the construction, everything else occurred as planned w/ no surprises on cost.
> \- April was very flexible and accommodating w/ us and our budget.  She had no issues w/ us sourcing the some of the materials (i.e. lighting fixtures, stock cabinets), which allowed us to save quite a bit of money.  She also carved out a week in the construction schedule so that we could bring in our own hardwood floor refinisher that our friend had recommended.
> \- We had a few issues that came up during the remodel (which we expected with a job of this magnitude).  Every issue was dealt with in a professional and courteous manner.
> \- Once the lighting had been put in the master bathroom, we noticed one area that was too dim.  April agreed and felt that this was an oversight on the design.  She had an additional recessed light installed at her expense.

> Nip Tuck helped us remodel our kitchen and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have a child with special needs and had put off this needed project for many years, concerned about the disruption such a project would cause the household.
> We felt April was very sensitive to our family's situation from the first time we met.   She is very professional and detail oriented.   She guided us through every step of the process.  During the planning stages, she helped us modify the plans until it looked “just right” and fit into our budget.  As we were about to begin, we were given a schedule for the project with information about what was to be done each day.   The project stayed on schedule!  All the contractors who came to our house arrived when they said they would (or we were informed about delays) and were very respectful.  The job site was left clean and tidy each day.  April and Kari (our project manager) were always available to answer questions or concerns.   With any large project, there are bound to be little glitches here and there.   April and Kari (our project manager) addressed them all, often going “above and beyond.”  The end result is a beautiful new kitchen.  We highly recommend Nip Tuck and will use them again for future projects.

> April, the owner of Nip Tuck, is one of the most thorough and detail oriented contractors in her field.  All of her jobsites are operated in a timely fashion and communication is always on point.  As a subcontractor being up to date with timelines, expectations and advance notice are paramount to working successfully in our line of work.  Kari, the project manager, does an incredible job ensuring that this success if always achieved.  Thanks again Nip Tuck for working with us and making your projects so enjoyable to work on!!

**★★★★★ — Danielle Zipp, Aug. 2014**

> We live in a small 1950s bungalow in West Seattle (900 sq. ft.) and when we bought our home, remodeling the kitchen was the first thing on our to-do list.  The kitchen was in it's original state which meant a tiny cramped space, old cabinetry, no dishwasher or disposal and an extremely minimal amount of countertop.  After working with April and Joy (from Abodian Cabinets), we came up with a design that completely opened up our space to the rest of the house and created a lot more functional space.  We took the kitchen down to the studs and removed a few walls and a supporting post along the way, getting a completely brand-new kitchen in the process.
>
> My husband and I continued to live in our small home throughout construction and while it was invasive (as it undoubtedly would need to be) April's team took great care in ensuring everything was protected and that dust in our living area would be as minimal as possible.
>
> It was very helpful to have the calendar April provided of the expected work to be done each day and week.  The team was always available for a quick call to answer any questions we might have.  We had a couple unexpected bumps along the way, but April and our project manager Kari (who was constantly going above and beyond) helped correct them as quickly as possible with minimal addition to our project timeline.
>
> We now have a kitchen that we adore and is so functional.  6 months later everything is still working well and we know that should anything arise, April and her team will be there to help.  What a great experience!

> I enjoyed working with April and Nip Tuck Remodel.  From our very first meeting I knew the project was going to move smoothly.  April's attention to detail, promptness, and dedication to the job, made the remodel of our master bath, powder room, and hall bath move so smoothly that time flew by.  Upon completion of the remodel we had three beautiful bathrooms ready for company to visit this summer.  Her assistant, Kari, was efficient, dependable, and wonderful to work with as well.  I loved having a calendar that covered the project's progress.  From start to finish April and her team at Nip Tuck were on time and on budget.  We appreciated their professionalism and dedication to completing the project and making the experience of a major remodel of three bathrooms so pleasant.  I would highly recommend April and her team at Nip Tuck Remodeling to our family and friends.

> I had been enduring my kitchen for the past 20 years.  There were odd angles everywhere, never enough convenient storage, things were always shoved to the back of cabinets and forgotten, counters were piled high with appliances and clutter, and there was no good working space.
>
> Enter April Bettinger of Nip Tuck Remodeling...
>
> April sat down with me and patiently suffered through my rendition of kitchen woes.  She helped me identify my real needs and my greatest frustrations.  She gave me ideas of how I could incorporate my family room with the kitchen and create a much more welcoming and functional space.  She worked with the crazy odd angles and turned them into advantages.
>
> She started out by taking detailed measurements, and then produced several different floorplans with 3D renderings for my consideration, complete with ballpark estimates for each estimate.  This made it easy for me to narrow in on a single option that was within my price range.  And she did all this preliminary work free of charge or obligation!
>
> After the contract was negotiated, April and her team at Abodian (Cabinetry) worked closely with me to select woods, flooring, counter tops, tile, appliances, etc.  April steered me clear of cheap shortcuts that I would have regretted, finding high-quality alternatives at prices I could afford.  For instance, I was originally thinking of Formica counter-tops, but April dragged me to a granite supplier out in Kirkland, where I was able to find a granite slab I just loved, full of gorgeous crystalline and garnet inclusions, at an economy price.
>
> I grew to trust April so much that I felt comfortable timing the demolition to coincide with a family vacation, so I missed the worst of the mess.  When we returned from vacation, the remodel was well under way.  Her carpentry team was very professional and tidy, and they made sure my hardwood floors were protected and dust shields were installed between the construction zone and the rest house, as well as dust filter protection over the heating air intakes.  They even got along well with our two dogs!
>
> The job was entirely done on schedule in less than 4 months.  I was impressed by the high quality of work and attention to every last detail.  There were no major surprises, and change order work was on the order of perhaps $1,000, which is nothing on a project of this scope!

> Dependable, decisive, creative, an innovator:   Nip Tuck Remodeling.
> It is always a pleasure to work with April and her staff.  Her professional attitude and ability to work with others is greatly appreciated.  I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

**★★★★★ — Hilary Prentice, Dec. 2013**

> April assembled a great team and we are thrilled with our new master bathroom.  April was accessible and responsive from start to finish.  Communication was clear, consistent and we were able to keep our project reasonably on time and budget (we had a couple of extra things we decided to add on - i.e. the heated tile floor is a dream!).  The team of professionals April brought in (carpenter, painters, tiler, electrician...) were excellent and sometimes worked very long days to ensure the schedule was met.  We selected a challenging carved tile as our focal point and it was installed beautifully.  The attention to detail on carpentry is superb.  April also was a great resource for connecting us with a few other vendors we needed to get related aspects of our job done that we chose to manage ourselves (window replacement, closet organizers, carpet).  As we were updating our bathroom we decided to do some cleanup/upgrade work to the other upstairs rooms ourselves and with the help of family and other familiar carpenters we could hire directly. This could have been a real challenge but April was extremely open minded and worked with us to try to schedule to avoid conflicts, her subcontractors were cooperative and helpful and it all worked out very well.
>
> The overall end result from April is that we now have a gorgeous and functional master suite.  A friend said it was like a suite at the Bellagio. We have never been there but we are thrilled that we get to enjoy our beautiful bathroom every day - better than a vacation.  Our goals from the start were to try to make our bathroom more functional and improve the look and quality of the room. The existing bathroom had a tiny off the shelf fiberglass shower, a huge underutilized linen closet and an enormous platform with a small sunken bathtub which blocked access to the windows so you had to crawl into the tub to put the shades up/down and some odd wall angles.  We also wanted to get rid of the nasty carpet and replace the failed picture windows with some windows that could be opened for better airflow ventilation. From the start April worked with us to figure out a way to utilize our space more effectively.  We removed the tub platform and replaced it with a standalone tub and we robbed a little bit of space from the huge linen closet and took an unused triangle of space from the clothes closet to allow for a much larger, nicer shower space.  We began our project in mid-September and completed before Thanksgiving.  We were certainly thankful to be back to normal and are very grateful to have a lovely updated upstairs.  The only issue now is that is nicer upstairs than downstairs.
>
> We would recommend April to homeowners looking for a reliable, straightforward contractor who follows through with what she says she'll do, keeps clients informed, is responsive, cooperative and has quality subcontractors doing her work.

**★★★★★ — Michelle Blum, Dec. 2013**

> Our experience with Nip Tuck was everything we hoped for. They helped us remodel (from top to bottom) our 1950's kitchen to our vision of an open, beautiful cooking space, and enjoy the company of family and friends sitting in our new breakfast nook. Their contractor Marv was an expert, and our cabinets came out gorgeous!  The professional staff of women behind the company was awesome. Their designer Joy helped us decide on our granite, tile, flooring, appliances and fixtures. I felt taken care of completely. April is the owner, and when she showed up the first day with her schedule & calendar to show us what was to be expected we were skeptical at first. But they didn't disappoint. Her assistant Kari was here almost every day to make sure everyone knew exactly what to do. We were impressed by the workmanship and how respectful everyone was in our home, and made sure they always cleaned up at the end of the day. We LOVE our new kitchen and thank Nip Tuck for fulfilling our vision and more!

**★★★★★ — 5467, Aug. 2013**

> I had the Nip Tuck team come in and do multiple things in my home.   They created a new closet for me in my upstairs rec room, put in granite counter tops in my kitchen, changed out the sink and faucets, and gave me lighting in multiple areas, had a new rug put in as well as a new stove.   I needed professional craftsmen from multiple disciplines.  Nip Tuck provided that.  The work went smoothly and I am very please with the over all result.   April's team is very professional and helpful and you know what is going to happen and when.   I would work with her team again in a heartbeat.

**★★★★★ — rlfain, Aug. 2013**

> Nip Tuck Remodeling was recommended to us as a superior company to consider to do our master bathroom remodel.  We were not disappointed.  We combined our old master bathroom with a smaller adjacent one to make a larger bathroom.  Both bathrooms were totally demolished and we had to relocate to a guest room area until the project was completed.  They estimated that the project would take seven weeks.  We received a detailed budget and weekly calendar.  Both were very accurate.  We were on schedule and completed the project as promised.  The only change orders were owner added work and a small unexpected change.  The change orders were less than 2 percent of the project including those added by us.  April is great to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and accessible.  Her staff and sub contractors were all excellent.  The tile work is exceptional as was the work of her carpenter whose finishing work was outstanding.  All were respectful of our house and family, polite, on time, and kept the project area clean and orderly as possible.  We would definitely recommend Nip Tuck Remodeling and would use them again should we have a project needing their expertise.

**★★★★★ — Dana Bowlin, Aug. 2013**

> We had the Nip Tuck team do a master bathroom remodel for us.  Both my husband and I interviewed various other contractors in bidding process, but the NIP Tuck team won by leaps and bounds.
>
> That service continued into the design, selection of products, and installation process also.
>
> April is wonderful at working with you to get you what you want in the project, keeping the project on track and communicating with you as the project continues.
>
> I have recommended Nip Tuck to numerous people and will continue to in the future.  If I ever need remodeling work done in the future I know who my first call will be too.

**★★★★★ — johneshaw, July 2013**

> Nip Tuck remodeled our master bathroom and closet.  From our first meeting we had confidence in April Bettinger and her very organized approach to understanding our needs and budget and then helping to scope the process accordingly.  Nip Tuck's vendors and tradespeople were a delight to work with and each performed as promised with very few call backs or change orders.  Once the schedule was set, there was positive progress each work week until the project was done.  In eight weeks of construction there were only a couple of days when no trade was on site and that was generally due to the preceding trade finishing earlier than expected.  Our bathroom is beautiful, functional, and was constructed within the budget we agreed to at the beginning; except of course for additions that we requested after the fact.  We are happy to recommend Nip Tuck.

**★★★★★ — hsMAC Design, July 2013**

> I'm an Interior Designer in the greater Seattle area.  I have been assisting clients in selecting, and also working with their contractors for over 15 yrs.  I have to say that I have never been as impressed by the contractors "process", as I am with April and the team of Nip Tuck.  From the moment of our first meeting it was clear that my clients were going to get a service beyond the norm!  Her precise ability to bid the job is awesome.  When she says on time and on budget - she means it and has the tools to make it happen!  I hope to work with her again soon!  Heather - hsMAC Design

**★★★★★ — latiad, March 2013**

> Nip Tuck completely designed our new kitchen, gutted our old kitchen, fixed some major structural problems which we only became aware of at that time, and installed a new, beautiful kitchen that worked and looked beautiful.  All of this was accomplished with the most excellent craftsmen and women, on budget and a few days earlier than projected.  I have never heard of a kitchen remodel going so quickly, so organized and so effortlessly (at least on our part)! I recommend Nip Tuck to anybody who will listen.  My husband is a project manager in another field and was blown away by April's organization and communication.  Steve was our contractor and his attention to detail and professionalism did not cease to amaze us.  It's tough to find this kind of quality.  We are blessed to have found it.

**★★★★★ — Well-Designed Home by Slater Interiors, Feb. 2013**

> I’m an interior designer and have been working on projects with April since 2011. We have developed a great working relationship and I can highly recommend Nip Tuck Remodeling. April is very detail oriented and thorough. I enjoy working with her on projects, because while she runs the project and keeps everything in budget, she is also open and willing to explore the aesthetics and function from a design standpoint, which has always resulted in a beautiful and functional remodel.
>
> Nip Tuck’s motto is ‘on time, on budget, on purpose’ and all of those things are true. She runs a tight schedule and every homeowner that has worked with her knows exactly who and when someone will be showing up on any given day, and clients have a finite completion date.
>
> I have also worked closely with all of her subcontractors and have been very pleased with their communication and attention to detail as well. If you really do want a well-run project where you know what’s happening at any given moment, and more importantly when it will be done and how much it will cost, Nip Tuck Remodeling is your team!

**★★★★★ — Provanti Designs, Inc, Feb. 2013**

> In my capacity as a kitchen and bath designer, I often have the opportunity to supply my clients with names of contractors to interview.  I have worked with April Bettinger of Nip Tuck Remodeling many times.  We recently finished a kitchen expansion and remodel late in 2012 that turned out beautifully.
>
> I like working with Nip Tuck because the company has an extremely high level of customer service and satisfaction.  April’s construction teams are easy to work with and communicate seamlessly with my company, Provanti Designs, whenever there is a design or material installation question.  This is so helpful for homeowners who want to stay on time and on budget.  Nip Tuck establishes a thorough quote upfront that extensively covers the entire remodel project so that there are no surprises with the budget/quote as work progresses.
>
> And best of all, April develops a detailed project calendar that specifies which trades are doing what work on a daily basis along with stated weekly construction goals.  Nip Tuck finishes their projects on time, with quality work and satisfied homeowners.  And that is why I tell my design clients that they need to do themselves a favor and talk with April Bettinger of Nip Tuck Remodeling about their remodel project.

  - Description: Challenge This 1960s ranch had strong original character, but the floor plan no longer fit the needs of the family. The kitchen was tucked away at the back of the house and faced the wrong direction, the main living areas felt broken up by walls, and the sunken living room disrupted the flow through the home. Beyond the layout issues, the home also lacked several essential spaces the family needed, including a true pantry, a functional laundry room, a private office, and updated baths for both c…

As part of a larger whole-home renovation, we reimagined every bathroom in the house, each with its own purpose and personality. The main floor powder room and upstairs guest bath both received complete refreshes — new flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures throughout. In the guest bath, an underutilized bathtub w…

  - Description: In a Medina neighborhood where teardowns have become the norm, this family made a different choice. Their home had been in the family for over 20 years — well-loved, well-located, and the right size. What it needed wasn't a wrecking ball. It needed a fresh start. We touched every room. The kitchen cabinetry was painted, drawer fronts replaced, and a custom hood built to integrate with the new appliances. An integrated dishwasher panel, new backsplash, and updated butler's pantry glass brought th…

  - Description: \*\*Primary & Guest Bath Renovation \| Downtown Kirkland Condominium\*\* When we first walked into this downtown Kirkland condominium, the bathrooms were functional but forgettable — original finishes, minimal storage, and none of the personality the owners were after. These are people who love art, love design, and wanted their home to feel like it. The primary bathroom started with a conversation about what wasn't working. Storage was inadequate, the space felt clinical, and a wasted 12-inch partit…

  - Description: The bones were good. The home sat in a beautiful Lakemont neighborhood with sweeping views, a generous open floor plan, and a layout that worked. What didn't work was the finish — maple cabinetry and millwork that had yellowed with age, dated oak floors that had grown warm and honey-toned in all the wrong ways, and a kitchen that, despite its size, never quite flowed the way it should have. The goal was simple to describe and more complex to deliver: light, bright, and exactly right for how this…

  - Description: It's not everyday that we get to radically transform the heart of a home. There are often restrictions that keep the kitchen in the kitchen. These clients wanted a vaulted kitchen ceiling, which would have required major roof reconstruction. That is until it was decided to use an adjacent part of the home that already had a vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is now more connected to the living and dining areas, they have a walk-in pantry that better uses the low-ceilings, and with added storage space.…

And, it was a great opportunity to incorporate collected vintage pieces like the chandelier, the mirrors and the sconces. The honey onyx natural stone used throughout the bath was backlit at the counter and window sill to add a sumptuous glow to the relaxation routine. Additional details include the ogee-shaped floor tile, the herringbone wall tile, and vanity.

  - Description: Built in 1960, the home has been owned by this couple since 1980. Through that time, repairs and patches had been done, but needed substantial renovation. They liked the galley shape, but did not like the placement of appliances nor the limited and awkward storage (see the before photos).

The kitchen was the remodeling focus, but the hall bath had prior leak damage and the owners wanted an updat…

  - Description: No more orange wood... There was so much cherry and fir throughout the main floor, the color was distracting and dated, as was the older fireplace surround and flanking shelves. The clients wished to modernize the aesthetic, update and improve the appliances (with a fully plumbed espresso machine), and lighten the visual load in the family room. To dramatically change the scale of an architectural element, the space still needed to feel livable. A larger fireplace profile, larger appliances, and…

  - Description: A classic NW Contemporary home that had original details people pine for like cedar paneled walls, floor to ceiling windows, and a great floor plan. It also had decades of wear and tear and some design choices that don't work well today: a small kitchen, short bath vanities, and an oversized yet under utilized powder bath. We reworked the heart of the home to allow for a formal dining, large kitchen and a more open feel. The powder bath was reworked to add a shower, and the two other baths were…

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What makes Nip Tuck Remodeling different than the competition?**
Not all design-build firms are equal — many outsource design or treat it as secondary to construction. At Nip Tuck, design and build are truly under one roof, one team, one contract. Our depth of pre-construction planning allows projects to historically complete within 2% of the estimated construction investment. Woman-owned, we purposely limit projects to equal our capacity and finish with the home fully realized — including Nip Tuck Interiors. 50+ industry awards since 2012.

**What kind of projects you specialize in?**
We specialize in comprehensive whole-home, kitchen, and primary bathroom renovations for Eastside Seattle homeowners who are renovating for themselves and long-term enjoyment — not to sell. Our best projects end with the home fully realized, which is why we also offer custom furnishings and interior finishing through Nip Tuck Interiors. Design and construction, under one roof.

**Why choose design-build for your remodel?**
With traditional remodeling, design and construction are separate — leaving you to manage the gap between what was designed and what gets built. Design-build eliminates that gap. One team holds responsibility for both, which means decisions made in design stay made in construction. Fewer change orders, tighter timelines, and a result that matches the vision. It's why design-build consistently delivers better outcomes for complex, high-investment renovations.

**How does Nip Tuck Remodeling ensure projects finish on time and on budget?**
Nip Tuck Remodeling projects historically complete within 2% of the original estimated construction investment — and on schedule. Not because of a contingency fund, but because our pre-construction process resolves every material selection, structural decision, and trade coordination question before construction begins. No wall opens until every selection is locked. No schedule is committed until every lead time is confirmed. This is the discipline behind the result.

**Does Nip Tuck Remodeling create spa-like primary bathrooms with custom showers and soaking tubs?**
Yes — spa-like primary bathrooms are among our most requested projects across Bellevue, Woodinville, and Redmond. Features such as freestanding soaking tubs, steam showers with thermostatic controls, heated tile floors, frameless glass enclosures, custom vanity millwork, natural stone surfaces, layered lighting, and private saunas are common in the primary suite work we do. We stay current on the latest wellness features so every option is on the table when we design your space.
