Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling on Mercer Island

Mercer Island was largely built out between the 1950s and the 1970s, and the floor plans show it: kitchens tucked behind walls, bathrooms sized for another era, sometimes in houses that are one remodel away from actually using their water and mountain views. From the north end near Town Center to First Hill, Mercerdale and the south end, the houses are individual, and so is the work.

The most requested project on the island is the same one for sixty years of housing: open the kitchen to the living space and the view, then rebuild the primary bath in tile and stone. Because these are mid-century structures, the answer starts with a 3D plan where you can see the beam, the island and the light before a wall moves.

The island sits one bridge from our downtown Bellevue office, which makes measuring visits, sample drop-offs and daily crew arrivals about as simple as they get. Alex brings the cabinet door, stone and tile samples to your consultation, or you are welcome to start at the office.

Why homeowners choose Rain City Kitchen & Bath

One licensed contractor for the whole job

Rain City is a licensed, bonded and insured Washington general contractor (License #BIRIUCL808C6). Plumbing, electrical, tile and carpentry run under one schedule, so you make one call when you have a question and one signature covers the work.

You approve it in 3D first

After measurements we build a 3D visualization of the finished room. You move the island, swap the door style or change the tile on screen, not after the old kitchen is gone.

Materials, demolition and cleanup handled

We source and deliver cabinets, stone and tile, take out the old kitchen or bath and haul the debris away, so you are not coordinating suppliers, trucks and dumpsters.

Working in Mercer Island

  • Mid-century structure. Opening a 1960s kitchen is a structural question before it is a design question. The 3D plan settles it up front, so demolition follows a decision instead of forcing one.

  • Permits. Layout, plumbing, electrical or structural changes need a City of Mercer Island permit. We prepare and file it and give you the review timeline before work begins.

  • Living at home. Almost everyone stays. We set up a temporary kitchen corner with the essentials and keep the work zone contained and cleaned up daily.

  • Debris off the island. We deliver materials and haul debris off the island ourselves, so your driveway is a driveway, not a staging yard.

Questions Mercer Island homeowners ask

Do you work across the whole island?

Yes, from the north end and Town Center to the south end. Daily crew arrivals over the bridge are routine.

Do I need a permit to remodel on Mercer Island?

For most remodels, yes: anything touching plumbing, electrical, layout or structure. We file with the City of Mercer Island and build to the current codes.

How long will the remodel take?

A typical kitchen runs 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope. Cabinet refacing or a countertop swap can land in 2 to 4 weeks, and a full renovation with layout changes can take 3 to 4 months. You get the schedule in writing before work starts.

What if you open a wall and find a problem?

It happens, especially in older homes: hidden water damage, wiring or plumbing that has to come up to code. You get the finding and the price before any extra work, and it is billed separately from your original estimate.

Can we stay in the house?

Almost everyone stays. We set up a temporary kitchen corner with the essentials and keep the work zone contained and cleaned up daily.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Yes. Labor carries our one-year workmanship warranty, and every material keeps its manufacturer's warranty.
