New Day Construction is a family-owned general contractor serving homeowners in Redmond, WA. We specialize in kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling, along with additions, ADUs, and custom home construction. Our approach is straightforward: on budget, on time, with realistic estimates and coordinated work from planning through completion.
We focus on complete remodeling and construction projects rather than small standalone repairs, with a general minimum project budget of around $20,000. Call (425) 584-2936 or request a consultation to discuss your property, goals, and the work you have in mind.
How to Compare Residential Remodeling Proposals in Redmond
The lowest initial bid isn't always the least expensive option. A useful remodeling estimate should account for the work a contractor can reasonably identify before construction begins, rather than leaving known costs to appear later as change orders. At New Day Construction, we aim to define the project scope upfront, including materials, trade responsibilities, and potential risks that may affect the budget. When comparing Redmond contractors, ask how closely their completed projects have stayed within the original estimate and which circumstances would justify additional charges.
Craftsmanship and Communication Throughout Your Remodel
New Day Construction coordinates its in-house team with specialty subcontractors according to the needs of each project. Plumbing, electrical work, excavation, and foundation construction are generally handled by specialized trade partners, while painting, doors, windows, and finish work may be completed in-house or subcontracted depending on the scope. Our project managers bring these activities together under one construction schedule, keeping homeowners informed about progress and decisions that affect the finished result.
Coordinating New Construction, Additions, Permits, Inspections, and Trades
Home additions and custom homes involve more preconstruction work than most interior renovations. For additions, homeowners typically begin with architectural design, followed by structural engineering and city review. On some of our addition projects, the permitting process has taken 9 to 16 months. Larger projects also require current pricing from specialty subcontractors for work such as foundations, framing, electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and windows before the final estimate can be completed. These steps help establish a realistic construction budget and schedule before work begins.
Residential General Contracting in Redmond
A general contractor becomes especially valuable when a project involves several trades, structural changes, or work across multiple rooms. New Day Construction handles complete remodeling and residential construction projects rather than isolated handyman services. Our general minimum project budget is around $20,000, although the cost of individual projects depends on their scope and complexity.
For example, a kitchen renovation may involve cabinetry, countertops, flooring, plumbing, electrical upgrades, and structural modifications. Rather than arranging each trade separately, homeowners work with one general contractor responsible for coordinating the agreed work and construction schedule.

Define the Scope Before Comparing Bids
New Day Construction uses different estimating approaches depending on the project. For kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling, we draw on established project costs and experience with similar renovations. For larger additions, ADUs, and custom homes, we obtain current pricing from specialty subcontractors before finalizing the estimate.
The goal is to account for the work we can reasonably identify before construction begins. Additional costs may arise when homeowners expand the agreed scope or demolition reveals concealed structural damage, plumbing issues, or other conditions that couldn't have been identified during the initial review. We discuss those findings and the available options before proceeding with additional work.
Our Redmond Project Process
Every successful project starts with a clear plan. At New Day Construction, we guide homeowners through each stage, from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, with a focus on realistic budgets, coordinated work, and clear communication.
- Consultation: discuss goals, existing problems, priorities, intended use, and budget framework.
- Site review: identify measurements, conditions, records, and specialist input needed to define the work.
- Design and selections: coordinate the layout, materials, fixtures, and finishes required by the scope.
- Proposal and permits: prepare a detailed estimate covering the identifiable work, material allowances, trade responsibilities, required approvals, and potential hidden-condition risks.
- Construction management: coordinate our in-house team and specialty subcontractors, manage the construction sequence, schedule inspections, and keep homeowners informed about progress and approved changes.
- Final walkthrough: review the completed scope and document remaining corrections.
Redmond Permits and Inspections
The City of Redmond lists new homes, additions, alterations, remodels, ADUs, decks, garage conversions, and accessory structures among work handled through residential building permits. Separate electrical, mechanical, plumbing, utility, or site permits may be required depending on the scope.
Permit fees are based on the value and type of construction. Plans and the permit card must be available on site, required inspections must occur before work is covered, and a final inspection completes the process. Review the city's current Residential Permits guidance for the exact property and project.
How to Choose a General Contractor
Verify Washington contractor registration, bond, and insurance before hiring. New Day Construction publishes registration number NEWDADC823QR; confirm current status through Washington L&I.
Ask who manages the job site, how often updates are delivered, who prepares permit documents, which trades are included, and how changes are approved. The proposal should name the legal company, identify the property, and explain allowances, exclusions, payment milestones, and schedule factors.
Completed projects offer a more useful measure of experience than general promises. New Day Construction's portfolio includes a kitchen remodel in Arlington completed in five weeks for $41,300 and a whole-home transformation in Mukilteo completed in three months for $300,000.

FAQ
What is the difference between a contractor and a general contractor?
A specialty contractor completes one trade or installation. A general contractor coordinates the broader project, including multiple trades, scope, schedule, communication, permits, inspections, and closeout.
How much does a general contractor in Redmond charge?
New Day Construction generally works on projects starting around $20,000. For early budgeting, smaller kitchen remodels start around $40,000, standard bathrooms cost approximately $35,000, and primary bathrooms generally begin around $50,000. Larger renovations, additions, and custom homes require individual estimates based on design, structural work, material selections, and existing conditions.
Does a Redmond remodel require a permit?
Many additions, alterations, remodels, and building-system changes require permits. The exact path depends on the address and work, so confirm it through Redmond Development Services before construction.
Can I stay in the home during construction?
Often, yes, depending on the size and type of renovation. New Day Construction can organize work in phases so homeowners continue using parts of the house while other areas are under construction. For example, we may complete one floor before moving to another. This approach can extend the timeline, so we discuss living arrangements, access, and essential utilities before work begins.
