Cox Custom Remodeling opened its doors in 2009, when the economy was dealing the construction trade its blows, and remodeling work was hard to find. We have been a company on the grow ever since. Our clients appreciate our candid attitude and straight up pricing. James and his crew offer master carpentry in all areas of home improvement. With over a decade of experience, James will provide you with the skill, quality craftsmanship, organization, and professionalism, that is needed to bring your home improvement vision to realization. James has an excellent relationship with a variety of home improvement subcontractors and a local lumber yard & home improvement store. Cox Custom Remodeling is your one call provider for any construction & remodeling venture. Also serving surrounding areas in Puget Sound.

"James and his crew at Cox Custom Remodeling did a great job with our bathroom remodel. Our house was built in 1900 and the nonstandard framing made things more complicated. His lead, Dan was particularly great, taking the extra time to understand components we picked that were new to him. James always had a positive attitude, showed up when he indicated and got things done. Low dust, protection for floors and respect for the rest of the house while the construction was going on. James also provided the best tile guy, Eugene, that did a fantastic job with natural stone and the complicated very fragile mosaic. We would definitely use Cox Custom Remodeling again. Great job guys!"

"Was not a simple house to have built, the design had way to many errors. Elevation was not to scale and once built it started to show, that it was not to scale. If you like looking at A post out your window or a gutter in front of your window. Then this is the team for you. Fascia from gable almost touching the door trim. Just a mess. Luckily the framers could fix some of it. They did a quick redesign of the roof."

EA&D can provide design services including site and project evaluation, programming, schematic design, permit drawings and documents, and project administration. We are able to provide the specific scope and amount of design services that you require in order to get your project under way and finished in the most effective and economical manner.

"Kevin worked with us on our home remodeling project in 2023/24. We had a dated 1979 property that needed totally redesigning to eliminate some pretty awful existing features. Kevin came up with a number of possible solutions for the design. We finally settled on a scheme that we were happy with. Kevin was very tolerant when we then changed our minds requiring him to redo some of the drawings. Kevin has also been available to offer help and advice during the construction process."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the customers needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Josh has always been prompt and communicative with every interaction we've had. I initially got in touch with him about new construction design questions, and when we discovered that our current home porch posts had rotted through due to faulty design by the original home designer, Josh jumped into action. He had his engineer and construction crew to our door within 24 hours to take a look and put together a plan. He took my design ideas and brought them to life. He was transparent about all parts of the cost (to include his profit), and gave us to option to lower the cost by hauling away debris and painting the porch (which we were more than willing to do). Any delays with the work were met with a phone call and followup email if he didn't get through to either my husband or I immediately, and the construction crew did very high quality work. We were beyond pleased with his customer service! We will definitely use Revival Home Designs in the future when we decide to build our forever home."

A residential design project, whether new construction or remodeling, presents homeowners with the opportunity to personalize their environment. With my background designing new and remodeled residences, I strive to offer imaginative, practical solutions to fit your individual needs and desires. I am also a trained framing and finish carpenter and can speak the same language with general contractors. For a successful project, it is important to develop a strong and open team between the owner, architect, and builder. Green, sustainable building concepts and energy efficiency are considered with every home, and can be integrated seamlessly with the design. I will help you prioritize your budget with your building program for a maximum return with your investment. The design process is a thoughtful, well-documented, fun experience to share with the homeowner. I typically meet with clients at their location.

"We worked with Paul over the past 30 years he has great sense of design and does a good work."

Architects questions, answered by experts

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

When conducting space planning, building codes and regulations need to be considered. As long as you are taking them into account and discussing them with the architect, you should be able to do your space planning appropriately.

You'll find Arts and Crafts homes across the country in varying styles. On the East Coast, bungalows and Tudor Revivals fill the Boston area through New Jersey. In the West, Mission-style homes incorporate terracotta shingles, white stucco siding, and rounded archways.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

The cost to draw up housing blueprints ranges from $800 to $2,700, depending on several factors. Blueprints for a custom home cost between $5,000 and $20,000, and extraordinarily complex designs can easily surpass the high end of that price range. The experience level of the architect will also affect the cost, as more experienced professionals can charge higher rates.
