Home Additions in Redmond

Education Hill in 98052 sits on some of the roomier residential lots in Redmond — but the houses built here between 1978 and 1992 were sized for smaller households than the ones living in them now. Aging parents moving in, a home office that needs to be separate from the main house, a proper guest suite with its own entrance — these are the real reasons people call. Installing a Mitsubishi mini-split in a new addition handles heating and cooling without fighting the original ductwork. Vladislav Volkov has completed 100+ projects across King County since 2017, working directly with homeowners, no sales staff involved. Redmond's position between Lake Sammamish and the Microsoft campus draws a lot of dual-income households who want additions done properly — engineered drawings, pulled permits, inspections passed — not a fast flip on a handshake deal.

The 98052 zip — Education Hill, Overlake, the neighborhoods between NE 24th Street and the Sammamish River Trail — was almost entirely built between 1975 and 1995. Original foundations were sized for the footprint that existed then, not for additions. Bear Creek Road and the Grass Lawn neighborhood fall in the same era; lots are generous but the homes themselves are often undersized for families living in them today. In 98053 (Redmond Ridge), newer construction from the 2000s has better bones but tighter subdivision setbacks that require careful lot coverage math before any ADU or bump-out can go to Redmond's permit center for plan review. FAR calculations matter here — a lot already at 35% coverage has little room for a DADU without first confirming impervious surface rules with the city.
