Gaspar’s Construction
This floorplan was reconfigured to relocate the back door and basement stairs and made room for both a new powder and mud room.
The original floor plan of this one-story U-District craftsman home was short on space and simply didn't fit our clients' lifestyle. The master bedroom was in the low-ceilinged basement, and the tiny dining room was disconnected from the kitchen.
A new two-story bump-out addition provided the space for an expansive kitchen and dining room combination. The new second-floor private master suite with wet-room shower and separate sitting area is a lofty retreat bathed in natural light. Best of all, the new addition maintains the home's cozy craftsman charm, incorporating original cedar siding and trim details.
Our homeowners wanted to add a bit of European style to their brand-new powder room and renovated kitchen, based on their love of travel and bike touring. They were especially excited to move the awkwardly-placed toilet out of the dining room. Visit us and see how it all came together!
Rendering—Home Under Construction
Once a dated rambler has now become a client's dream home. The client wanted their living space to be more connected to the backyard and allow for more comfortable entertaining. By removing walls, vaulting the kitchen ceiling, and adding doors and windows this multi-function space was created. Stretching into all three bedrooms with new flooring, trim, doors, and paint this home has been transformed. The use of warm colors, and mixing of transitional styling with some traditional details makes this home a client dream come true.
April Bettinger | Founder & CEO, Nip Tuck Remodeling April Bettinger grew up watching her father build custom homes in the 70s and 80s, and she never really left the industry. Nearly three decades later, she leads Nip Tuck Remodeling — the award-winning, women-owned design-build firm she founded in 2010, right on the heels of a recession, because she believed the Eastside deserved a remodeling company built on professionalism, craft, and genuine integrity. Nip Tuck Remodeling specializes in full home remodels, kitchen renovations, and primary bathroom transformations for homeowners across Bellevue, Woodinville, Redmond, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Medina, Clyde Hill, and Kirkland. Design and construction happen under one roof, with a single cohesive team guiding every project from first concept through final walkthrough — and the sister brand, Nip Tuck Interiors, takes it the rest of the way with furniture curation, custom window treatments, art, and accessory styling that bring the completed space fully to life. Nip Tuck Remodeling is known for the depth of intention that goes into every project before a single wall comes down. Thorough pre-construction planning is why projects historically complete within 2% of the original estimated investment — and why clients describe the experience as anything but typical. Every decision traces back to how a homeowner actually lives, and the outcome is a space that's uniquely theirs. April has spoken at national conferences for Remodelers Advantage and the Women in Residential Construction conference, holds designations as a Certified Graduate Remodeler and Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist through NAHB, has served on the Board of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, and this year publishes her first book, Happiness Guaranteed — a guide to navigating the remodeling process with confidence. She's proud to welcome you into one of her team's projects today, and invites you to reach out if your own home is ready for its next chapter.
This rambler needed a major update, so we added skylights and significantly enlarged the kitchen to be a true entertaining space. Relocated windows and a vaulted kitchen ceiling now match the rest of the living room. The loft stairs were relocated to the entry to complete the home’s open feel.
