Your Home. Your Vision. Our Expertise.
At MacCoy Home Solutions, summer isn’t just a season—it’s opportunity knocking on your front door.
It’s the time of year when homeowners throughout Lynnwood, Edmonds, and surrounding communities decide to bring new life into their kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and outdoor living spaces. Whether you’re looking to modernize your space, create better functionality, or increase the value of your home, knowing the latest remodeling trends will help you make confident, lasting decisions.
As a general contractor with deep roots in the community, we’ve curated this guide to the Top 5 Summer Remodeling Trends in 2025. These are based on what we’re seeing across Snohomish and North King Counties, backed by real homeowner needs and crafted with a neighborly touch. No gimmicks. No unnecessary upsells. Just honest, detail-oriented insights you can trust.
Mid-Century Modern Revival: Clean, Timeless, Functional
One of the most requested design trends this year? Mid-century modern. With its clean lines, muted tones, and functional simplicity, this aesthetic strikes the perfect balance between form and function.
What It Looks Like:
- Flat-panel cabinetry with wood grain or bold matte colors
- Quartz countertops with subtle veining
- Integrated appliances for a seamless look
- Statement light fixtures with brass or matte black finishes
Why It’s Popular:
This style allows homeowners to reflect personality without going overboard. It also pairs well with open floor plans—an ideal match for kitchen remodels and full-home renovations.
Pro Tip from MacCoy: If you’re unsure where to begin, start with our Dream Board feature on the website. It helps homeowners gather visual inspiration and streamline their design preferences.
Outdoor Living, Reimagined: More Than Just a Deck
After enduring long Pacific Northwest winters, locals are investing more in outdoor structures that can be enjoyed from late spring through fall. This isn’t about patio furniture anymore—it’s about functional outdoor living.
What’s Trending in 2025:
- Covered decks with skylights
- Built-in benches, planters, and ambient lighting
- Accordion doors that connect indoor and outdoor spaces
- Detached structures like DADUs or accessory studios
Outdoor kitchens and shaded lounge areas are also gaining ground, especially in neighborhoods like Kirkland and Woodinville where entertaining is a way of life.
Real Talk:
A well-designed deck isn’t just a luxury. It’s a gathering space. A refuge. And yes—it can significantly raise your home’s resale value. If you’re already planning a kitchen renovation, consider expanding into the backyard to maximize your investment and lifestyle all at once.
Sustainable Remodeling & Green Building Certification
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought anymore—it’s a core priority for many of our clients. As a Built Green Certified general contractor, we’re proud to see more homeowners asking for environmentally responsible options.
Eco-Friendly Trends We’re Seeing:
- FSC-certified woods and reclaimed timber
- Low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints and adhesives
- Tankless water heaters and high-efficiency HVAC
- Energy Star-rated windows and insulation systems
Homeowners are also requesting solar prewiring, rainwater reclamation setups, and sustainable landscaping to complement their remodels.
Why This Matters:
Not only are you making a healthier environment for your family, but sustainable upgrades can also result in tax incentives and lower long-term utility costs. It’s a win-win that’s built to last.
Functional Luxury: Practical Upgrades That Wow
You don’t need a million-dollar remodel to feel like you’re living in luxury. Homeowners today are focusing on smart upgrades that improve day-to-day functionality while adding visual flair.
Trending Features This Summer:
- Radiant floor heating in bathrooms and kitchens
- Wine cellars tucked under stairs or in pantries
- Pot fillers, appliance garages, and pull-out spice racks
- Luxury sliding and telescoping doors that open entire walls
- Custom built-ins and floating shelves for form-meets-function style
MacCoy Insight: The best part of these features? They’re scalable. Whether it’s one standout upgrade or a full room transformation, we help you build based on what makes your life easier and more enjoyable.
Clear Communication & Project Transparency: What Homeowners Value Most
One of the strongest trends in home remodeling isn’t about style or materials—it’s about communication and trust. Homeowners today want to understand what’s happening during their remodel, who’s on-site, and when to expect key milestones.
Why It Matters in 2025:
- Homeowners want real-time updates. No one likes guesswork during a project.
- Clear scheduling avoids surprises. Project milestones should be easy to follow.
- Trust is built through responsiveness. When something changes, clients want to know—immediately.
