Montlake remodeling, additions & feasibility — Rudd Development project example

Close-in Seattle design-build

Montlake remodels need a plan before drawings run away.

For Montlake homeowners considering an addition, kitchen, whole-home remodel, or ADU, Rudd starts by matching scope, feasibility, and construction reality.

Local fit

Why Montlake projects need more than a generic bid.

Montlake combines older homes, tight streets, proximity to 520, mature lots, and homeowners who often need a thoughtful phased plan rather than a generic bid.

Feasibility studies

Additions and second-story work

Older-home remodels

Budget-first design conversations

Rough Cost Calculator

Start with a realistic planning range.

This is not a bid. It is a fast way to help a homeowner understand whether a remodel, addition, ADU, or feasibility study is in the right universe before scheduling a real Rudd conversation.

Ballpark range

$400,000 – $740,000

This is a rough ballpark planning range, not a bid. Site conditions, structural work, permitting, utilities, finishes, access, and scope can move the real number materially.

How to start

Bring the messy version. We’ll help sort it out.

You do not need perfect drawings or a finished scope to talk with Rudd. A rough idea, a few photos, a wish list, or a question about whether the project makes sense is enough for a first conversation.

  • • Tell us what is not working about the house today.
  • • Share the rough project type, timing, and budget comfort zone if you have one.
  • • Attach plans, photos, inspiration images, or old permit drawings if they help explain the idea.
