When a Bellevue homeowner running a custom woodworking business needed a space that could serve as both workshop and inspiration, Better Builders delivered a thoughtful solution. We replaced the original garage with a 1,500 sq. ft. addition, designed to maximize functionality and create a modern, efficient workspace. The result blends practical needs with striking design, all while maintaining the charm of the home and meeting local zoning requirements.

This client's efficient use of space stretched their dollars wisely. We worked on creating a concrete pad/base for the footing and under their screened porch. This allowed for a walk out area from their basement that was both covered and a nice patio. The stair set up adds a bit of privacy as it runs down across the patio below, lending to an outdoor living space as the stairs act as a wall.
The screened porch comes of the rear of the main living space expanding their usable square footage . We added a landing from the stairs into the porch for ease of use and a grilling platform.

After – Kitchen Renovation: Open, Timeless, and Move-In Ready
The kitchen was fully remodeled to create a more open and connected layout. The outdated two-level countertop was replaced with a single-level peninsula, enhancing the sense of space and improving the flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
Neutral tones were used throughout, featuring white cabinetry and matte black finishes on hardware and lighting. The same light luxury vinyl flooring runs continuously through the home, creating a cohesive and spacious feel. The cabinet layout was reconfigured to improve functionality, and modern appliances were installed to bring both style and efficiency.
With clean lines, timeless materials, and a versatile design, this kitchen appeals to a wide range of buyers or renters—modern, beautiful, and ready to enjoy.

This open kitchen plan allows for maximum efficiency, especially with young kids running around. The island open shelving is subtle which makes it great for both storage and showing off fun pottery.

This custom kitchen is part of an adventuresome project my wife and I embarked upon to create a complete apartment in the basement of our townhouse. We designed a floor plan that creatively and efficiently used all of the 385-square-foot-space, without sacrificing beauty, comfort or function – and all without breaking the bank! To maximize our budget, we did the work ourselves and added everything from thrift store finds to DIY wall art to bring it all together.
Our normal décor tends towards earth tones and old world styles. In this project we had the chance to branch out and play with a new style and color palette. We chose orange for the living area’s accent wall and paired this with blue glass and other orange accents to create a look that is warm, bright, and bold.
