One Team. One Process. One Accountable Contractor From Concept to Completion.
Design Build in Lynnwood, WA
Most home remodeling projects in Lynnwood don’t fail because the ideas are wrong. They fail because the process is fragmented — a designer who doesn’t talk to the contractor, a contractor who shows up late, a permit that stalls because nobody owns the paperwork. Homeowners across Alderwood, Meadowdale, and the Edmonds border communities know this frustration firsthand.

Common Remodeling Problems We Solve for Lynnwood Homeowners
Homeowners in Lynnwood search for a design-build contractor when something in their home isn’t working — or when a past project went sideways, and they need a better approach this time. Here are the six situations we see most often.
Outdated kitchen layout that no longer works
MacCoy solution: Many older Lynnwood homes — especially those built in the 1970s through 1990s in neighborhoods like Alderwood and Meadowdale — have closed-off galley kitchens with poor storage, limited counter space, and layouts designed for a different era. MacCoy’s design-build process opens the floor plan, reconfigures the workflow, and delivers a modern kitchen that functions as well as it looks. See our kitchen remodeling services for examples.
Home feels too small for a growing family
MacCoy solution: Crowded living areas, no home office, a guest room that doubles as a storage unit — space problems have design-build solutions. We design and build home additions, open up floor plans, and construct ADUs and DADUs that add livable square footage without requiring you to move.
Remodeling project keeps getting delayed
MacCoy solution: When a designer and a contractor work independently, scheduling conflicts are inevitable. The designer finishes plans; the contractor isn’t available. Materials are ordered; the design changes. With MacCoy’s design-build model, the same team that designs your project manages its construction — so sequencing, scheduling, and material timelines are coordinated from the start, not scrambled in the middle.
Finished project doesn’t match the original vision
MacCoy solution: This is one of the most common and most painful remodeling outcomes. You approved a design; what got built looks different. MacCoy Home Solutions uses detailed renderings, material samples, and structured planning sessions before a single wall is touched. You see what you’re getting before construction begins — and we hold ourselves to it.
Older home needs structural and aesthetic updates
MacCoy solution: Lynnwood has a large stock of homes built between the 1960s and 1990s — many with outdated electrical systems, aging insulation, inefficient layouts, and finishes well past their useful life. MacCoy Home Solutions addresses both the visible and the underlying: updated structure, modernized systems, and finishes that reflect how people actually live today.
Planning an ADU or multi-generational living space
MacCoy solution: Rising housing costs have made ADUs one of the most requested project types in Lynnwood. MacCoy Home Solutions handles design, permitting, and construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and DADUs as a fully integrated design-build project — simplifying a process that can be confusing to navigate on your own.

How Our Design-Build Process Works
The MacCoy Home Solutions design-build process is built around one principle: every decision that affects your project — design, materials, timeline, budget — should flow through one accountable team. Here’s what that looks like in practice. Learn more on our Design-Build services page.
01
Consultation and Project Vision
We start with a free, no-obligation conversation about your goals, your home, and your budget. This is where we ask the right questions, identify what’s possible, and help you define the scope and priorities for your project. No pressure. Just clarity.
02
Design and Planning
Our team develops architectural layouts, design renderings, and detailed material selections — collaboratively, with your input at every stage. You’ll see what your finished project looks like before construction begins, and you’ll approve it before we move forward.
03
Permitting and Preparation
MacCoy Home Solutions manages the full permitting process with the City of Lynnwood and relevant local jurisdictions. We coordinate engineering reviews, city approvals, and inspection scheduling — so you don’t have to navigate municipal processes on your own.
04
Construction and Project Management
Our skilled trades teams execute the build to the approved plans, with daily BuilderTrend updates keeping you informed of progress, scheduling, and any decisions that need your input. One project manager. Clear communication. No surprises.
05
Final Walkthrough and Quality Assurance
Before we hand over the keys, we conduct a thorough final inspection and walkthrough to confirm every detail matches the design plan. All punch list items are resolved before completion, and your project is backed by MacCoy’s 12-month craftsmanship warranty.

Local Knowledge of Lynnwood Homes and Neighborhoods
Lynnwood’s housing stock spans several decades and several distinct neighborhood characters. The Alderwood area is home to many mid-century ranch homes that benefit from open-plan remodeling. Meadowdale includes a mix of 1970s–1990s construction on larger lots well-suited for ADU additions. Neighborhoods near the Lynnwood city center and the border communities of Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace each carry their own zoning considerations, permit timelines, and structural characteristics.
MacCoy Home Solutions has worked in these neighborhoods long enough to know what the soil conditions are like, how the City of Lynnwood’s permit office operates, and which inspectors are responsible for which project types. That local knowledge shortens your permit timeline, reduces scheduling surprises, and means your project is designed by a team that understands the specific characteristics of Lynnwood homes.
We also incorporate energy efficiency best practices consistent with guidance from the U.S. Department of Energy’s home design resources — important for Lynnwood’s marine climate, where insulation, window performance, and HVAC efficiency have a meaningful impact on year-round comfort and energy costs.

We also serve surrounding communities in Snohomish and North King County, including Bothell, Kirkland, and Edmonds. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
How quickly can you start a remodeling project?
Timelines depend on project scope, permit requirements, and our current schedule. After your initial consultation, MacCoy Home Solutions provides a realistic start date projection. We do not overbook — when we commit to a start date, we honor it. Planning consultations are available now; contact us to get on the schedule.
Are your contractors licensed in Washington State?
Yes. MacCoy Home Solutions is a fully licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor operating in Washington State. All work is performed in compliance with state construction statutes and local Lynnwood building codes. We carry full liability insurance and worker’s compensation coverage on every project.
What is the benefit of design-build vs. traditional remodeling?
In a traditional remodeling approach, you hire a designer and a contractor separately — two contracts, two points of accountability, and frequent gaps in communication between the two. Design-build consolidates both under one team. When the same people who designed your project are building it, there are fewer translation errors, faster decision-making, and a single point of responsibility if anything needs to be addressed.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. MacCoy Home Solutions offers free initial consultations for design-build projects in Lynnwood and surrounding areas. During the consultation, we discuss your goals, review your space, and provide a preliminary scope assessment. Detailed estimates are developed during the design phase once project parameters are established.
Can you handle permits in Lynnwood?
Yes. MacCoy Home Solutions manages the full permitting process on every project, including permit application preparation, coordination with the City of Lynnwood’s building department, scheduling of required inspections, and permit closeout. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on the design decisions.
What warranties do you offer?
MacCoy Home Solutions provides a 12-month craftsmanship warranty on all completed projects. We also pass through manufacturer warranties on products and materials installed during construction. If anything requires attention after your project is complete, we stand behind our work.
What should I do before calling a design-build contractor?
The best starting point is gathering your ideas — photos of spaces you like, a general sense of what’s not working in your current home, and a rough budget range. You don’t need finished plans or final decisions before calling MacCoy Home Solutions. The consultation is where we help you turn your ideas into a clear scope and a realistic plan.
