I hired this company to remodel my kitchen, and I was very pleased with the entire experience. They were straightforward, professional, and very detailed throughout the project. Everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. Russ was a great project manager and did an excellent job, especially when I made some changes in the middle of the project. I really appreciated his flexibility and professionalism. I would definitely recommend this company!

I don't often write reviews, but this company absolutely earned a 5-star review. We couldn't be happier with our new Azek TimberTech deck! From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. The crew was professional, courteous, and efficient throughout the project. They handled the demolition of our old deck quickly, kept the work area clean, and completed the installation on schedule. In addition to the beautiful new deck, they also installed a new white gutter and a custom gate with a metal frame, both of which turned out amazing. The craftsmanship and attention to detail on every aspect of the project exceeded our expectations. The finished deck has completely transformed our backyard, and the Azek TimberTech decking paired with the black railing gives it a clean, modern look that we're excited to enjoy for years to come. One thing that really set them apart from the other contractors we received bids from was their professionalism and transparency. Their pricing was straightforward, and their proposal and contract clearly outlined every detail of the project. There were no surprises or vague estimates. If any changes were needed, they would not perform additional work without first discussing it and providing a proper change order. They did require a down payment to begin the project, which is standard practice, and everything was handled professionally. A special thank you to Russ, our project manager, who was incredible to work with. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. He consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions, keep us informed, and ensure we were completely satisfied with the final result. It's rare to find someone so committed to customer satisfaction. This is a company that takes pride in its work and stands behind it. I would absolutely trust them with future projects and won't hesitate to hire them again. If you're looking for exceptional craftsmanship, honest pricing, excellent communication, and a team that truly cares about doing the job right, I highly recommend them. Five stars all the way!

Boise is not one market — it is at least six distinct housing worlds, each with its own era, code overlay, and typical remodel scope. Pricing a Bench galley the same way as a North End Craftsman, or an East Bench addition the same way as a Harris Ranch one, gets you numbers that don't hold. Here is how we approach each.
1900s – 1950s original construction
Boise's original streetcar suburb — Hyde Park, 13th Street, Harrison Boulevard, and the tight residential grid west of the State Capitol. Predominantly Craftsman bungalows, four-squares, and post-war infill with original hardwood floors, single-pane double-hung windows, galley kitchens, and knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Any exterior change visible from the street pulls through the Boise Historic Preservation Commission — plan a Certificate of Appropriateness on top of the building permit. Interior work is not HPC-reviewed.
1900s – 1970s + infill
The blocks running east from downtown to the East Bench — Old Sunrise, Warm Springs, Fort Boise. A mix of Craftsman and pre-war stock with later infill. Where the North End is uniformly historic, the East End is patchier — some parcels sit inside historic overlays, others do not. Verify overlay status before designing anything exterior.
1950s – 2010s
Runs east and south from Federal Way to the Warm Springs golf area. Mid-century ranches dominate the Columbia Village pocket, with later subdivisions like Warm Springs Mesa layering 1990s to 2010s construction on top. Kitchen and bathroom refreshes are the highest-volume scope here; the mid-century stock is the sweet spot for a targeted quartz-and-shaker upgrade.
1940s – 1970s ranches and split-levels
The 1940s-through-1970s housing sub-belt in mid-Boise — Vista, Central Bench, Depot Bench, Franklin. Galley kitchens, split-level layouts, single-car garages. Kitchen wall-removal projects (typically a 3.5 x 9.5 LVL beam and a small structural engineer's calculation) are the signature Bench project.
1985 – 2010 subdivisions
Post-1985 subdivisions west of Cole Road. Larger footprints than older-stock neighborhoods but frozen in late-1990s / early-2000s aesthetics — oak cabinets, black laminate counters, fluorescent tube lighting, dated tile backsplashes. Structurally excellent stock, so scope is usually cosmetic-to-mid-range. Some of the highest visual-transformation projects on the site are here.
2000s – 2020s
Newer construction east of downtown along the Boise River corridor. Harris Ranch Specific Plan carries a real overlay including a legacy owner-occupancy clause on ADUs; Barber Valley is a mix of custom homes on larger lots. Scope leans toward premium finishes, outdoor living builds, and finish-tier upgrades on 5 to 15 year builds that have caught up to the newest design language.
City of Boise Planning & Development Services runs permits, plan review, and inspections for every parcel inside city limits — cityofboise.org. Unincorporated Ada County parcels permit through Ada County Development Services instead. Boise adopts the 2018 IRC with local amendments. Residential plan review adds 20% to the base permit fee.

Ada County Highway District
Impact fees on new dwelling units (ADUs, some additions). Same schedule across Boise, Meridian, Kuna, Eagle.
Zoning Code § 11-03-03.2.B: 900 sq ft or 70% of the primary structure (whichever is smaller); two-bedroom and two-story limit; one ADU per lot; design-compatibility review. Minimum lot area and density do NOT apply. Boise requires no added parking. Under Idaho Code § 67-6541 (SB 1354, effective conformance 2027-02-01) the city cannot impose owner-occupancy and cannot cap ADU height below the primary dwelling — the Harris Ranch Specific Plan still carries a legacy owner-occupancy line until Boise conforms. Setbacks follow the underlying zone: R-1C is 5 ft interior side / 15 ft rear; R-1A and R-1B are 10 ft / 20 ft; R-2 is 5 ft / 15 ft (5 ft on an alley). No residential district in Boise sets a maximum lot coverage percentage — the setback envelope is the binding constraint.

Before
After
Three factors change how a Boise project runs relative to a same-name project in Meridian, Kuna, or the West Valley. Estimating a Boise scope with a suburb playbook gets you a number that doesn't hold.
1900s to 1950s North End and East End stock reliably surfaces $8,000 to $20,000 of hidden work behind the drywall: knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that a kitchen or bath permit forces you to remove, galvanized supply plumbing that has to be re-piped in copper or PEX, load-bearing walls framed without headers, and original single-pane windows in original openings. Suburb pricing bands do not carry those hits. We scope them honestly during the site visit.
Any exterior work in the North End Historic District (and adjacent overlay parcels) has to clear a Certificate of Appropriateness with the Boise Historic Preservation Commission BEFORE the city will issue an exterior permit. Approved siding materials, window frame profiles and colors, roof shapes, porch details, and additions that show from the street all get pre-checked. We build the HPC path into design so it runs in parallel with plan review rather than in series behind it — a Boise North End project that ignores HPC is the one that slips a full month.
A Bench ranch wall-removal, a North End Craftsman kitchen, a West Boise 1998 refresh, and a Harris Ranch premium finish tier are four different projects. We run four different scopes on them — different demolition plans, different structural expectations, different finish tiers, different permit paths. “Boise remodeling” as one price band is how homeowners get the wrong number.

Real questions the Boise homeowners we work with ask.
Every neighborhood inside city limits and the immediate surrounding ZIPs — from the 1900s Craftsman blocks of the North End Historic District to the 2020-era Harris Ranch and Barber Valley builds on the east side. Our project volume by neighborhood, in rough order: North End and East End, Southeast Boise (SE / Warm Springs / Columbia Village), Boise Bench (Vista / Depot Bench / Central Bench), West Boise (Sunset / Northwest / West Valley), and Downtown / Downtown-adjacent. Hidden Springs, Highlands, Boise Hills, and Collister are less frequent but not off the map. Boise is our home city — RCE-6681702 sits at (208) 779-5551 and we run our office out of Bannock Street downtown.
The North End Historic District is regulated by the Boise Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). Any exterior change visible from the public right-of-way — siding, roof shape, window frame material or color, front porch details, additions that show from the street — requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before the city will issue an exterior permit. Interior work is not subject to HPC review. The other North End reality is the housing itself: 1900s to 1950s bungalows and Craftsmans usually mean original knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, galvanized supply plumbing that needs re-piping, and load-bearing walls without headers. Budgets and timelines both stretch relative to a comparable SE Boise or Harris Ranch project of the same nominal scope. We scope those honestly during the site visit.
Inside Boise city limits — the vast majority of what people mean by Boise — permits go through City of Boise Planning & Development Services (PDS) at cityofboise.org. Outside city limits, unincorporated Ada County parcels permit through Ada County Development Services instead. Some fringe neighborhoods on the East End, in the Foothills, and in the far West Valley shift between the two depending on annexation history — we verify jurisdiction from the Ada County Assessor record before scoping anything permit-triggering. Both jurisdictions run on the 2018 IRC as adopted in Idaho with local amendments.
Boise's ADU ordinance is Zoning Code Section 11-03-03.2.B. Key standards: 900 sq ft or 70% of the primary structure, whichever is smaller; two-bedroom and two-story maximum; one ADU per lot; design compatibility with the primary dwelling. Minimum lot area and density standards expressly do NOT apply to an ADU, and Boise requires no added off-street parking for one. Under Idaho Code § 67-6541 (SB 1354) the city cannot impose owner-occupancy and cannot cap ADU height below the primary dwelling — the Harris Ranch Specific Plan still carries a legacy owner-occupancy line until Boise conforms by 2027-02-01. Setbacks follow the underlying zone: R-1C is 5 ft interior side / 15 ft rear, R-1A and R-1B are 10 ft / 20 ft, R-2 is 5 ft / 15 ft (5 ft rear on an alley). Boise's residential districts set NO maximum lot coverage percentage; the setback envelope is the binding constraint.
Veolia Water Idaho supplies drinking water to Boise, Eagle, Garden City, Kuna, and Meridian — approximately 108,000 Ada County connections. Consumer-confidence reports live at mywater.veolia.us/idaho. City of Boise Public Works handles sewer, trash, and utility billing, but not drinking water — the ownership question was corrected across the site in the 2026-09-19 accuracy sweep. Boise-area water runs relatively soft compared to national averages, which matters for tile grout, glass shower spec, and finish selection.
Our published Boise-market ranges (canonical, updated 2026-07): kitchens $22,000 to $145,000 (avg $45,000 to $70,000). Bathrooms $15,000 to $75,000+. Additions $60,000 to $400,000+ overall, averaging $145,000 — bump-out $60K to $90K, full room addition $95K to $160K, second-story $180K to $400K+. ADUs $95,000 to $320,000 across every configuration, averaging $165,000. Decks $18,000 to $95,000+ depending on material, elevation and rail system. Basements $25 to $80+ per sq ft depending on finish tier. Every service page carries the itemized breakdown.
North End and East End sit at the top — the historic housing stock creates a steady flow of kitchen and bathroom projects, structural discovery work, and additions that respect the neighborhood's architectural language. Southeast Boise (SE / Warm Springs / Columbia Village) is close behind, driven by the mid-century ranch stock reaching the 60-year mark and by the newer Harris Ranch and Barber Valley builds hitting the 5 to 15 year builder-grade upgrade window. Boise Bench is heavy on kitchen and bath refreshes; West Boise is a mix of 1985 to 2010 subdivisions with cosmetic-to-mid-range scope. Our project portfolio (visible on /projects) has real photos from each of these.
Design and permit phases run in parallel with our current construction schedule. From signed contract to on-site start, a straightforward kitchen or bathroom project typically starts 3 to 8 weeks out depending on the current queue, cabinet lead time, and City of Boise plan review turnaround (which is not published as a guarantee, so we build 2 to 3 weeks into scheduling). Structural additions, ADUs, and whole-home remodels are longer — 6 to 12 weeks from contract to demo start is more typical. Call (208) 779-5551 for a current-schedule snapshot before you plan around a specific date.
Boise is our home city, but the same crew ships jobs across the Treasure Valley.
