Lake views, steep lots, and houses that have outgrown their layout
Anyvision Home Remodeling is a design-build general contractor working throughout Kirkland — Juanita and Finn Hill, Rose Hill and Bridle Trails, Houghton, Norkirk, Market, Totem Lake and down to Moss Bay.
Kirkland puts more houses on sloping ground than almost anywhere else on the Eastside. Lots fall away toward Lake Washington, back gardens sit well below or above the main floor, and a good number of properties carry a shoreline or critical-area overlay on top of the ordinary zoning rules.
The houses themselves are a mix — mid-century ramblers, 1980s and 90s builds with closed-off kitchens, and newer homes with strong horizontal lines that punish any addition detailed carelessly. What they have in common is that the constraint is rarely the design. It is the ground, the setbacks and the overlay.
We have built in Kirkland, including a covered deck and terrace on a contemporary home where roof pitch, post spacing and the tie-in to the existing roofline all had to be resolved before anything was framed. Designed and built under one contract, permitted under WA Lic #ANYVIHR768KB.

Comprehensive Home Remodeling Services in Kirkland
Ten service lines, all delivered under one design-build contract rather than coordinated between separate trades.
Interior scopes
Exterior and structural
Kitchen remodeling. Layout changes, custom cabinetry, countertops and lighting — rendered in 3D before a single wall comes down, so you approve the finished room before it is built.
Bathroom remodeling. Primary suites, guest baths and accessible bathrooms. Waterproofing, ventilation and fixture spacing are settled at design stage, because none of them can be revisited once the tile is on.
Whole-home remodeling. Framing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, tile and finish under one contract, so the house reads as one project rather than several done years apart.
Room additions and ADU construction. New square footage planned around Kirkland setbacks and lot coverage, and accessory dwelling units under the Kirkland Zoning Code alongside Washington’s statewide ADU legislation. Both add usable space and, permitted and closed out properly, measurable property value.
Basement remodeling. On a sloping Kirkland lot a daylight basement is often the cheapest square footage in the house — provided egress, moisture and ceiling height are established before any wall goes up.
Deck construction and hardscaping. Decks, covered structures, paver patios, walkways and retaining walls, engineered for hillside lots and a climate with seven wet months.
Kirkland allows more than one ADU. Your lot may not.
The zoning allowance and the buildable area are two different questions.
Kirkland has gone further than most Eastside cities on accessory dwelling units. Detached ADUs are a permitted use in the residential zones rather than requiring a conditional use permit, many eligible properties can take two, and the city publishes a set of pre-approved detached ADU plans.
That is genuinely good news, and it is also where homeowners get ahead of themselves. Being allowed two units is not the same as having room for two. Lot coverage, setbacks, existing improvements, utilities, fire access, parking, critical areas and slope all reduce the buildable envelope before a single line is drawn.
Shoreline properties are treated differently again — lots inside the Residential-L shoreline environment are generally limited to one ADU, and carry their own placement and permitting requirements under the shoreline chapter of the Kirkland Zoning Code.
Published maximum ADU size in Kirkland is generally around 1,200 square feet, with limited discretion for attached units inside an existing home.
We establish the real buildable envelope for your parcel before design, so the drawings are produced against what can actually be permitted. These rules have changed repeatedly — confirm the current position with Kirkland Planning and Building for your address.
The Anyvision Design-Build Process
Design and construction sit under one contract, so there is nobody to coordinate between and nobody to blame.
On a traditional project the homeowner holds one contract with a designer and another with a builder, then sits between them when the drawings and the build disagree. Design-build removes that entirely.
You hold one contract, with us. We produce the design, file the permits, carry out the construction with licensed trades working under our contract, and close the permit at the end. If something needs correcting, you raise it with one company.
Kirkland runs residential permitting through the Planning and Building Department with online submission, and straightforward residential projects typically sit in review for a matter of weeks rather than days. Anything triggering design review, a critical-areas report or shoreline review takes longer. We file early and manage the plan review correspondence throughout.

Kirkland remodeling questions
Do you handle Kirkland permits?
Yes. We identify every element of your scope requiring a permit, prepare and file the application with Kirkland Planning and Building, respond to plan review, and schedule inspections through to closeout.
The permit record then attaches to your property address permanently, which matters at resale, refinance and in any title search.
Can I build an ADU on my Kirkland property?
In most residential zones, yes. Kirkland permits detached ADUs as a normal use rather than requiring a conditional use permit, many eligible lots can take two, and the city publishes pre-approved detached ADU plans.
The constraint is usually the lot rather than the zoning — coverage, setbacks, utilities, fire access, slope and critical areas all reduce the buildable envelope. Shoreline lots are generally limited to one. We establish what your specific parcel can carry before design begins.
My lot slopes. Does that change what I can build?
It changes the engineering rather than the ambition. Footings on a slope have to resist lateral movement as well as bearing weight, retaining structures may need engineering, and drainage has to be designed rather than assumed.
It also often works in your favour: a daylight basement on a sloping Kirkland lot is frequently the cheapest square footage available in the house.
How long does a Kirkland remodel take?
Scope decides it. A single bathroom is typically three to five weeks on site once permits are issued; a whole-home remodel or an addition runs considerably longer.
Permit review time varies with scope and the city’s current queue, and anything requiring design review, a critical-areas report or shoreline review adds to it. We file early and give you a phase-by-phase schedule with the design.
Is the 3D design really included?
It is included at no cost when Anyvision carries out the build. You see cabinet profiles, countertop materials, tile layout and lighting positions before anything is demolished or ordered.
If you take the design to another contractor, it is billed as a standalone design service.
Do you build decks and outdoor structures in Kirkland?
Yes, and it is a good part of what we do here. We have built a covered deck and terrace on a contemporary Kirkland home, along with decks, pavilions and paver patios across the Eastside and Snohomish County.
On a Kirkland hillside the structure matters more than the surface. Footing depth, lateral bracing, the ledger connection to the house and drainage are all resolved before any board goes down.
