Issaquah ยท Eastside of Lake WashingtonIssaquah
Schock Construction and Design has remodeled Eastside homes for more than 30 years. Owner Steve Schock walks your kitchen, the estimate is explained line by line, and the price is locked before construction starts.
Schock Construction and Design has handled kitchen remodeling in Issaquah and across the Eastside for more than 30 years. It is locally owned and operated, works only east of Lake Washington and has completed more than 100 projects there.
Its approach is unusual for the trade: the site publishes real numbers. A kitchen runs $150,000 to $180,000 before appliances, and every scope item, allowance and selection is settled during design so the bid can be fixed before demo day.
Anything truly hidden behind a wall goes through a written change order that you see, price and approve before any work on it begins.
Plywood cabinet boxes, 3/4-inch solid wood dovetail drawers and soft-close everything come standard, and range hoods over 300 CFM get the code-required makeup air. Expect about three months of design, four to six weeks of preparation and two and a half to three months of construction.
Primary baths average around $150,000 all-in and hall baths run $80,000 to $100,000. In-floor heat runs into the shower floor and bench, walls get Durock board with Laticrete waterproofing, and humidity-sensing fans are sized to the room. Construction takes about two and a half months.
Main floors opened, systems replaced and every room designed as one vision. The Squak Mountain Retreat in Issaquah got a new furnace, a full rewire, rerouted plumbing, new windows and a full-height stone fireplace, and the Lake Sammamish View owners came back for three phases over three years.
Space that looks like it was always part of the house. At Beaver Lake in Sammamish, Schock enclosed a rear patio into the family room, adding 232 square feet of conditioned space without growing the footprint. Additions on Mercer Island and in Sammamish also appear in the firm's portfolio.
Real price ranges are on the site and your budget is fixed before demolition. Hidden conditions go through a written change order that you see, price and approve.
Steve Schock comes to the on-site visit with the project coordinator and estimator, and the team 3D-scans the room into an as-built blueprint on the spot.
A Schock site superintendent runs each job with subcontractors who have worked with the firm for 10+ years, and a live online schedule shows who is coming and when.

Steve Schock owns Schock Construction and Design, and in his words remodeling homes is a way of life: he likes seeing the potential in every house, old or new, big or small, then working out the plan, budget, design and build. He comes to the first on-site walkthrough for kitchen and bath projects.
His team includes project coordinator Lisa Howard, estimator and general manager Chris Dederer, office manager Michelle Winterstein, construction manager Mike Krajewski and site supervisors Doug Cetina and Elijha Shibkiy. Interior design comes through a partnership with Kristi Sparks of Canyons Design.

“remodeling homes is a way of life”
A phone call about scope, budget and timeline. If the numbers and the vision line up, a site visit is booked; if not, you hear so honestly.
Steve, the project coordinator and the estimator watch how your kitchen works, then 3D-scan the room into an as-built blueprint.
An estimate built from decades of real historical costs, walked through line by line over Zoom, with a projected construction start date.
The interior designer works with your scope and allowances already built in, so the design stays beautiful and on budget.
Four to six weeks of job preparation, then about two and a half to three months of construction run by a Schock site superintendent.
We chose Shock for our kitchen renovation and could not be happier! From the beginning to the end they never disappointed us.
Schock is a fantastic crew! We contracted the team to do a major remodel of our midcentury house. After interviewing a variety of contractors we landed on Schock as our partner.
We made a bathroom out of a laundry room and remodeled a second bathroom. Schock was extremely professional, friendly, and systematic. They took care of surprises, finished the project ahead of time, and kept us informed throughout.
Schock's Eastside kitchens run $150,000 to $180,000 before appliances, which you buy yourself; plan on about $30,000 for a typical appliance package. Kitchens that open into the living space start around $250,000. The bid is fixed before demolition, so the number on page one of your estimate is the number you pay.
Plan on about three months of design with the interior designer, four to six weeks of job preparation, then two and a half to three months of construction. A bathroom takes about two and a half months to build once its design is locked. Your estimate shows a projected construction start date.
It goes through a written change order. You see the problem, you see the price and you approve it before anyone touches it. Because scope, allowances and selections are all settled during design, very few surprises are left by the time demolition starts, which is how Schock keeps budgets and finish dates.
In kitchens: plywood cabinet boxes, 3/4-inch solid wood dovetail drawers, soft-close doors and drawers, and undermount sinks with real allowances. In primary baths: in-floor heat that runs into the shower and up the bench, a full Durock and Laticrete waterproofing system, and humidity-sensing Panasonic fans.
Yes. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. It starts as a discovery call about your scope, budget and timeline. If the project is a fit both ways, Schock schedules an in-home walkthrough and then delivers a full build estimate with a room-by-room breakdown and material allowances.
