    As our bathroom remodel was winding up, we authorized Gary to proceed with painting the bedroom on a Time & Materials basis. The renovation proceeded in parallel with completing the bathroom. The quality of renovation is excellent. The schedule seemed a little longer than expected, but not enough to cause a problem. We did have an issue with one part of the billing. Although it appeared at first that we couldn't communicate on this issue, to his credit, Gary persisted, and eventually the issue was settled to our complete satisfaction.

    We have chosen The Wall Doctor as our construction company for a wide range of home improvement, repair and remodeling projects over the several years. Previously, we were clients of the current owners, so our experience with this team of professionals dates back six or seven years. Projects have included repairing extensive water damage in our garage (including drywall and ceiling replacement), designing and building a complete utility room in our barn, re-siding and repainting our home, concrete work, fence repair, deck install, insulation install, etc. Their work is consistently of the highest quality, performed in a timely manner, and fairly priced. They are also great communicators. Their construction knowledge is exceptional and their craftsmanship is truly amazing!

    Gary and Todd are phenomenal! My home is a 1934 Tudor in Magnolia. I needed to update the electrical wiring from knob and tube to romex. The electricians did their part but I needed the Wall Doctor to finish the job out. There were easily over 50 circular and rectangular wall cuttings in my home. Wall Doctor came in and repaired and painted all of them! You wouldn't even know the electrical project was done. Here are some before and after photo's. I hope to hire them again for future painting and remodeling.

    We renovated a room ourselves and hired The Wall Doctor to texturize some walls in preparation for us to paint. We also asked for a bid on a project involving an addition. Wall Doctor had the BEST customer service by far compared to 3 other companies I contacted. Their communication was excellent - they were quick to return calls and emails (within 24 hours compared to other companies who took 2-3 days or never returned calls/emails). They sent someone to do the texturizing (it was a small job) within a week of us contacting them, and he did a terrific job masking off windows/existing walls, texturizing and seamlessly feathering it in on existing walls, plus cleaning up when he was done. He was very professional and friendly. Regarding the bid on a larger project, they had excellent communication and Tom, the estimator, seemed very knowledgeable, was very easy-going, willing to work with us on ideas we had, and had a "can-do" attitude. Soooo refreshing compared to some other companies whose reps complained about current customers or acted like some of our ideas were going to be difficult to implement. When we stopped the bidding process (a General Contractor we've worked with on previous projects was able to work us into his schedule), Gary at the Wall Doctor was very courteous, professional, and nice about it. If future projects come up, they'll be the first company I'll check with. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Very well as I had contracted with them about a year ago to do a downstairs bathroom remodel due to a leak and turned into a remodel of shower, tile and painting. also painted family room, re-rocked with cultured stone an oversized old fireplace. That project turned out great. This project was rather large also but more time and materials type of work. The attention to detail was extensive as they had to match the new crowns to existing in kitchen and in living room over entertainment area, but they did a great job! Looks like it has always been there. Extensive painting and it looks great. Other small projects but it all turned out very well.. Since this was based on time and materials there was a small issue with time which was an issue on added dollars, however it was corrected without issue. Overall excellent to work with, price could be a bit high, however.... I have spent over 50K with this company on projects and would recommend them for future work.

    This is the first time we have done something to remodel our town home. We are not do-it-yourself fixer-uppers. My husband and I both work and the Wall Doctor crew came and went as needed, even when we weren't there. They were clean in their work and in their cleanup, both during the job and after. It was an expensive procedure for our two small bathrooms, but the result is outstanding. Matt Light gave a good estimate, spelled out all the details in a contract, and kept in good contact.

  • Additions, expansions, or foundation-related scope

Home Remodeling FAQs

What is the 30% rule in home remodeling?

The 30% rule for home remodeling suggests total renovation spending should stay under about 30% of your home's current market value. If your home is valued at $500,000, your total home renovation budget should stay under $150,000 to ensure a reasonable return on investment.

Is $50,000 enough for a home remodel?

Yes, but $50,000 generally only covers light or cosmetic renovation work. In Bellevue, that budget is best suited for basic improvements like painting, upgrading lighting, hardware swaps, and possibly new backsplashes or laminate surfaces. Extensive remodels-such as reconfiguring spaces, new cabinetry, or full system updates-will typically require a higher investment.

What is the difference between remodeling and renovating?

Renovation focuses on updating or restoring an existing space (e.g., painting, replacing fixtures) without changing its layout, often making it cheaper and more DIY-friendly. Remodeling involves structural changes to alter functionality, such as tearing down walls, changing floor plans, or adding rooms, which is generally more expensive and requires licensed professionals.

What is the average cost of a home remodel in Bellevue?

Home remodel costs in Bellevue are typically above the national average. Full-home renovations often fall between $500 and $800+ per square foot, with total project costs ranging from roughly $350,000 to over $1 million, depending on the home's size, scope, materials, and level of finish. Kitchen and bathroom remodels commonly range from $35,000 to $175,000+.

What is the best order to renovate a house?

If you're remodeling in phases, the best order is usually: repair issues first, a bathroom remodel second, the kitchen third, then living spaces, bedrooms, and larger additions or outdoor projects last. Many homeowners start with a bathroom because it is easier to complete in a smaller phase, while a kitchen remodel is often saved for a bigger stage because it causes more disruption and usually costs more.
