At CCH Design | Remodel, we specialize in a variety of remodeling projects, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, whole-home remodeling, custom room additions, and ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) construction. We also offer interior upgrades such as flooring, painting, and layout reconfigurations. No matter the size or complexity, our team ensures every project is completed with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Our process comprises three phases:
DREAM IT! Following our consultation, we will conduct a Design Exploration meeting at our office, and then begin Preliminary Design Concepts, to be presented and edited at our office with you.
DESIGN IT! Following the two meetings, we will present a Design Agreement to collaborate on a comprehensive proposal for your project. Plans and renderings, material and fixture selections with our interior designer, and a comprehensive project evaluation culminate in a formal construction proposal and fixed contract price.
BUILD IT! After the Construction Proposal is approved, with detailed plans, scope of work, general conditions, and contract price, we get to work! You’ll love our industry-leading access to daily logs, the project schedule, and regularly scheduled meetings with your Project Manager and/or Superintendent.
Each phase consists of multiple steps, which we’ll describe in detail in our meetings. Call us to get started with our exceptional custom remodeling services.
Yes, there are still contractors out there who promise a “free quote” or “free estimate.” They’re usually worth what you pay for them. We’ve seen “free quotes” from competitors scribbled on a yellow notepad or delivered via text message! A free quote without a full design and/or a comprehensive project evaluation means that the contractor is guessing or assuming he knows what you envision. They are usually based on far too many assumptions to be of much use. Contractors who promise a “free quote” often don’t even get back to their customers at all.
We hear this all the time: “A guy came and looked at our kitchen and said he’d get us a quote, but we never heard back from him.” That’s usually because a comprehensive and accurate quote requires a LOT of work and expense, and those guys don’t like working for free! Those contractors who do follow through usually provide a hasty quote based on far too many assumptions. Those incorrect assumptions lead to disappointments, conflicts, expensive do-overs, delays, or even lawsuits.
With our custom remodeling services, you can expect the utmost professionalism. We’ll generate the plans and renderings, discuss the scope of work and product selections, and lay out additional processes to ensure that we deliver a comprehensive proposal with a fixed contract amount that you can rely on.
Remodel design consists of plans, 3D renderings, interior design, and product selections. We start our design process with an initial consultation in your home. Some preliminary design concepts are presented in our office. We will show you several different versions of your project in an interactive 3D model using our state-of-the-art CAD software. At that meeting, we’ll take your suggestions and make edits to the design while you watch and give us feedback. Our customers say it’s a lot of fun!
If you like the way things are headed, we’ll ask you to approve a design agreement so that we can get started with product selections with our interior designer. From here, we’ll continue the plans until they’re just what you want and get started on the necessary work to initiate your project. Whether you’re searching for home addition contractors or a reliable kitchen remodeler, CCH Design | Remodel provides all this and more!
So glad you asked! This is what sets us apart from most remodeling contractors in the valley. Full-service means we’ll handle all of the design and construction aspects of your remodel, including the design (plans, interior design, product selections, etc), expert project management, permitting, performing the work (both in-house and with trusted subcontractors), and taking care of warranty issues.
From start to finish, we have you covered. You won’t have to find a draftsman to design your plan, call subcontractors, clean up, round up your materials, apply for permits, etc. Let our custom remodeling services make your dream home possible!
Yes and no. We’re happy to provide some preliminary budgeting in the form of a ballpark estimate based on our history with similar projects as yours. We can give a price range over the phone, but we’ll have a better idea after being in your home during our initial consultation and getting more details. Initial consultations are complimentary, so contact us to set one up.
To provide an accurate, comprehensive quote you can depend on, we need plans, selections, scope of work, and many more details. Don’t worry, we’ll handle all that. The costs of our custom remodeling services vary depending on the project, so we’ll present a design agreement to you when we know more about the project. Call us for more details.
Our prices are competitive with other full-service remodelers in the valley with comparable service and quality. Of course, we really think we do it a little better! Most of our major kitchen remodels fall between $75-150,000, including the overall design, as well as materials, cabinets, appliances, stone countertops, and more.
Most complete master bathroom remodels fall between $50-100,000. Additions depend a great deal on how they’re designed, so give our home addition contractors a call for additional pricing. See the annual Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value report for a comparison of prices in Boise and across the country.
The prices you see on HGTV, Houzz, or Google—such as $30,000 for a kitchen remodel or $15,000 for a master bathroom—are often misleading. These figures usually represent DIY projects where homeowners handle much of the labor, bargain-hunt for materials, and take on the stress of managing contractors and timelines themselves. What you don’t see are the compromises, unforeseen costs, and countless hours of work behind those “budget-friendly” transformations.
On HGTV, the beautiful before-and-after shots often rely on clever editing, sponsored materials, and unrealistic budgets. At CCH Design | Remodel, we deliver custom remodeling services tailored to your needs, ensuring high-quality materials, professional craftsmanship, and enduring value. According to Zillow, the average kitchen remodel has a 59% ROI nationally. With us, you’re investing in a home upgrade that’s designed to enhance both your lifestyle and your property value.
We specialize in larger remodeling projects and aren’t set up for small, handyman-style repairs. Simple fixes, like patching drywall or replacing a single tile, don’t align with our resources and expertise. Think of it this way: just as a handyman may not be equipped to manage a full kitchen or bathroom remodel, we’re best suited for comprehensive transformations that require detailed planning and expert execution.
That said, don’t hesitate to reach out! Some projects you think are small might involve complexities that require professional oversight. If your project isn’t a fit for us, we’re happy to provide guidance or refer you to someone who can help. When it comes to kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, or custom renovations, CCH Design | Remodel is your trusted partner for turning big ideas into reality.
Getting started is easy! Simply contact us to schedule your free consultation. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your ideas, take measurements, and assess your space to determine the best approach for your project. Afterward, we’ll create a detailed design plan that reflects your goals, budget, and style preferences. From there, you’ll have a clear roadmap to bring your vision to life.
Yes, changes are possible during the remodeling process, but we strongly recommend finalizing decisions during the design phase. This helps avoid delays, unexpected costs, or disruptions to the project timeline. If changes are necessary, our team will work closely with you to implement them while keeping everything on track. Open communication and flexibility are key to ensuring a successful outcome, even when adjustments arise.
CCH Design | Remodel stands out because of our dedication to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. We use state-of-the-art 3D design technology to create realistic renderings, allowing you to visualize your remodel before construction begins. Our commitment to clear communication ensures you’re informed at every stage, and our veteran-owned values—integrity, professionalism, and excellence—drive everything we do.
From our attention to detail to our focus on delivering results that exceed expectations, we approach every project as a partnership with our clients. We’re not just remodeling homes; we’re building relationships and spaces that inspire.
Yes, we proudly stand behind the quality of our work. We offer comprehensive warranties on both materials and craftsmanship, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected. Should any issues arise after project completion, you can trust that we’ll be here to address them promptly and professionally.
Absolutely! Our expert design team is here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you have a general concept or no idea where to start, we’ll help you explore options, identify your preferences, and create a design that balances style and functionality. With access to the latest trends, materials, and technologies, we ensure your remodel is both timeless and uniquely yours.
Yes, we take care of all permits and inspections on your behalf. Remodeling can be complex, with local codes and regulations varying widely. By managing this process for you, we ensure everything is compliant with building standards and that your project proceeds smoothly. This eliminates stress and allows you to focus on the exciting parts of your remodel, like watching your dream home take shape.

Posted on John HobbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted a home with 2 master suites. Rather than sell our home and buy another, we determined our most cost-effective solution was to engage CCH Design | Remodel to add a new master suite to our existing home. We selected CCH because they could handle all phases of the remodel from a collaborative design process through to final city inspections. We appreciated the support of their in-house designer for selection of fixtures, carpeting and paint. They were able to match the detailed architectural features of our home inside and out, so the finished product looks like it was there from the beginning. They handled all the details from preparation of design plans to procurement of materials, hiring of subcontractors, demolition, construction, landscaping, and permits. They were on-site daily to provide supervision of the work, resolve issues, minimize work impact on the neighbors, and ensure quality. Their construction supervisors were expert professionals. They had working relationships with many great subcontractors from prior work on their behalf. They delivered ahead of schedule and on budget. We think their process and results were outstanding!

John, I really appreciate that detailed review. It's taken many years to develop and refine our processes to the point that we can offer the "one-stop-shop" you describe. We certainly enjoyed working with you and Beverly, and we hope your addition serves you well for many years. Thanks from all of us here at CCH! :-) -Mike HillPosted on S HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved working with CCH. Leann did wonderful drawings for me. She helped me visualize how the bathrooms could look and how to add changes to make the bathrooms safer. She got the whole process off to a great start. Erin really listened to me about what I wanted the bathrooms to look like. When we went together to pick out vanities, tiles, hardware and other items she was prepared with choices that fit with what we discussed. We had fun looking at items but she was efficient and organized and so the decision making process went smoothly. (And she has a great eye for design!) Chris was my project manager and he did a excellent job of communicating with me and coordinating with the subcontractors. One of the wonderful things CCH does is send pictures every working day so I knew exactly what got done and the plan for the next day. The whole process was very transparent and I always knew what the timeline was and who was in my house and what they were doing. It was very reassuring. I also want to mention Sam the senior project manager who helped with coordination and all the little details that made the project move along. I can highly recommend the CCH team. I have beautifully undated bathrooms with the safety features I wanted. Thank you CCH
Owner's reply
Sharon, I speak for the whole team when I say that we loved working with you! I'm so glad you found everyone helpful, organized, transparent, etc. etc. I'll pass along your review to Chris, Sam, Erin, and Leanne, along a little "some-some" for taking extra good care of one of our favorite customers! Thanks again, MikePosted on Holly BradyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his team helped guide my parents through a difficult remodel of their kitchen after a flood. We were so grateful for Erin and her beautiful designs and finishes. Thank you CCH.
Owner's reply
You get Daughter of the Year, Holly, for all the support you gave your parents during their remodel! We thoroughly enjoyed working with them and you, and, if I can get a little sentimental, knowing we were fixing up your childhood home to be enjoyed by your kids and the others in the third generation...puts a very human touch on everything we do. :-) Thanks so much for the kind words. -MikePosted on Cesar CamposTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his team at CCH did a great job at making our fireplace remodel as easy as possible. From the design process to construction and invoicing, CCH offered full transparency making it easy to keep track of everything. Although we got into some delays Mike and his team made sure to communicate effectively and do everything in their power to get the job done as quickly as possible. CCH’s dedication to craftsmanship, transparency and customer service is why I recommend them for anyone in need of a remodel.
Owner's reply
Thank you Cesar! It was our pleasure adding that beautiful, massive sandstone fireplace and surround to your home. I still love that we can look out the windows across the valley to Table Rock where the stone was quarried! We all really appreciate your patience when our mason suddenly "chickened out" and caused that delay. We apologize again for that, but we're so happy you love the powerful architectural statement your fireplace makes! It really anchors the room and is as grand as your view across the valley. -Mike https://www.instagram.com/p/DMi0qbCB0zf/?img_index=1Posted on Melanie EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike Hill was so helpful in guiding me in my kitchen renovation. He set me up with the best suppliers, installers, & demo crew who hold him in high regard. His guidance & an eye for detail was awesome & helped make this renovation experience stress free. I will definitely go to CCH again for my remodeling & renovation needs.

Thank you, Melanie. Your granite is gorgeous! So glad you got the kitchen you've wanted for so long!Posted on Sharon McnallyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CCH Design and Remodel transformed my master bathroom. I gave up a bathtub and gained a fabulous walk-in shower that is wheelchair accessible, has a built-in bench, grab bars, two shower heads (one with height adjustment), a heat lamp, and color-coordinated tile. CCH personnel are knowledgeable and organized. The job was completed on schedule and on budget. Cleanup was performed daily, and I received a daily progress report. Many thanks to everyone, but I especially want to thank designer Alicia Stephens for sourcing authentic 50-million-year-old fossils for my "splurge" detail. It's stunning!
Owner's reply
Sharon, Your shower will go down as one of our most unique projects for sure. We've all told (or bragged to) friends and family about your fossil wall tiles! Thanks for being so patient and fun and easy to work with while we took over your master bathroom! :-) -MikePosted on tona hessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished our kitchen remodel with CCH and we're thrilled with the results! I researched contractors and selected them mainly because of their communication, quality, strong project management skills, and close attention to the budget. When the project started I knew what we were spending and how long it would take. They use the BuilderTrend app so I could see the subs who were coming each week, photos of the jobsite were uploaded with a report each day and selections and financials were closely monitored within it as well. Mike, the owner, is very straightforward and up front about cost, timeframes, etc., Alicia, the designer on staff, was knowledgeable on kitchen trends, and ideas to make the project more cost effective. Brandon, our construction manager, was on site every day making sure the subs he scheduled were doing what was needed and to his specifications, he had great attention to detail. The worksite was clean, the subs were friendly and professional; I work from home, so it made a difference.
Owner's reply
Thanks Tona! We're so happy for you and Dave. There were a lot of twists and turns in the design, but we're delighted you ultimately went "all-in"! Taking out the wall makes that family room and dining feel so much bigger! And the hidden pantry is one of the coolest features we've incorporated into a kitchen. Thanks for being a pleasure to work for, and for you patience while living in a construction zone. :)Posted on stephen wellsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used CCH for living space - kitchen remodel with a deck install. The team at CCH made it very easy to navigate the remodel. This was our first time doing any major home repairs and thankfully they walked us through every step with ease. Brandon was the onsite manager and was amazing to work with on a daily basis. Communication was a breeze with their phone app that provides daily updates and easy option selection. Alicia was super helpful with the numerous selection that had to be made. The team at CCH helped build our family living space to a place we are all happy to come home to. Post remodel we did come across a couple of warranty claims that Mike and Brandon were speedy at getting them fixed.
Owner's reply
So glad to hear that feedback, Steve. All of us here really appreciated your and Sarah's willingness to practically live out of your RV for a few months while we remodeled your kitchen, family room, drop zone, and deck! You two definitely had the hard part! :-) In the end I think it's beautiful and I hope it's as functional as you dreamed, letting your family do some serious cooking and enjoying the outdoors more. Ultimately I believe we're in the business of bringing families closer together, so I hope eating at the island or on the deck together does just that! Thanks again for everything. -MikePosted on Laura WignessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From our initial meeting to the final product, we had a very positive experience with CCH Design/Remodel. The design ideas were right in line with what we wanted and communication was clear and frequent. The minor hiccups one would expect in a major project were handled promptly and professionally. The daily logs with photos were very helpful and appreciated as we were out of town during the majority of the work.The quality of workmanship and attention to details was outstanding. We absolutely love our new master bath and stairs! We would definitely use CCH again for any future projects.
Owner's reply
We’re so glad to hear that feedback, Laura. I love the way your new stairs brighten up your entry, and I’m still amazed at how taking just a little space from your master bedroom made your master bath so much more spacious and functional! Thanks for being so enjoyable to work with! -Mike
