✨ Highly Recommend Elevated Home Remodel! ✨
After more than a year of struggling to select colors and a remodeling design in an attempt to piece together our kitchen and family room updates with independent subcontractors, my husband and I decided to revisit hiring a full-service remodeling company. We had previously explored this route but had less-than-positive experiences with the companies we initially considered. This time, after extensive research on Houzz and the BBB, I selected three companies for bids, prioritizing not just cost but a strong bond of trust and a team that understood our vision—even when it wasn’t fully formed.
One of those companies was Elevated Home Remodel, owned by Miki and Julie Ben David, a husband-and-wife team based in Kirkland—conveniently close to our home. From our very first consultation, we knew we had found something special. Miki, their project manager, spent nearly two hours with us, not just assessing our space but genuinely getting to know our family, how we live, and what we needed from this remodel to improve our daily lives. His thoughtful questions and clear passion for creating functional, beautiful spaces immediately set EHR apart.
Their process was equally impressive. Rather than a vague estimate, Miki explained they provide a fully itemized quote, breaking down each component of the project. This level of transparency allowed us to make informed decisions, adjusting elements without exceeding our budget. We also appreciated Miki’s realistic approach to scheduling—he was upfront about ensuring they didn’t overpromise, keeping timelines manageable and reliable.
When we met with Julie, their lead designer, I was amazed at how effortlessly she translated my scattered thoughts into stunning 3D renderings—something I desperately needed to make confident decisions. Not only did they present a plan based on our initial discussions, but they also surprised us with an alternative concept that transformed our underutilized sunroom into a fully functional living space. The added cost was clearly outlined, and Miki and Julie worked closely with us to adjust other areas to keep us within budget. It was an unexpected yet perfect addition to our home.
Once under contract, EHR’s commitment to making the process smooth was evident. They helped us set up a temporary kitchen, carefully tarped off work areas, and took every measure to minimize dust and disruption—no small feat when living through a remodel. Their craftsmanship was exceptional. Polo, Juan, and Armondo weren’t just incredibly skilled but some of the kindest, most respectful professionals we’ve ever worked with. Because we lived in the home during construction, we interacted with them daily and genuinely enjoyed having them around. Even our neighbors commented on how considerate the team was, from parking to cleanup—something that speaks volumes.
Beyond their in-house team, every subcontractor—from electricians to cabinet makers—was equally professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. Miki’s strong project management and Julie’s design expertise made them a truly unbeatable team. Even when unexpected issues arose (hello, leaky roof!), Miki guided us through our options with clear communication, ensuring we stayed on budget and schedule. True to their word, we were able to host both our Christmas Eve neighborhood open house and Christmas dinner in our newly remodeled space.
This project wasn’t just about upgrading our home—it was about working with honest, talented people who cared about our family and made the experience enjoyable. Elevated Home Remodel is worth their weight in gold. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a seamless, high-quality remodel with a team that prioritizes transparency, trust, and craftsmanship. We’re already looking forward to working with them again on our next phase!
