Iron Crest Remodel: Services, Costs and How It Works

What is Iron Crest Remodel?

Iron Crest Remodel is a home remodeling company in Boise, Idaho. Its legal name, shown in the site footer and on its registration pages, is Iron Crest Remodeling Group LLC. It describes itself as "a full-service residential remodeling contractor handling both interior and exterior projects," and it works for homeowners rather than commercial clients.

The company's pitch rests on four things it repeats across the site:

• Fixed-price contracts. Every proposal is described as "a line-item, fixed-price document," with no open-ended allowances. Changes the owner asks for, and hidden conditions found during the work, are written up and approved before extra work goes ahead.
• One project manager. The same person is said to stay on the job "from estimate to final walkthrough," with a direct phone number and email.
• Multi-crew scheduling. The company says it sequences demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, paint and finish carpentry so trades follow each other without gaps.
• Local presence. It says it is "not a franchise or a national chain," that its project managers and crew leads live in the Treasure Valley, and that it buys from Boise-area suppliers.

The site also lists some numbers about itself: "200+ Treasure Valley projects completed," "20+ years combined experience," and 28 cities served. Those are the company's own figures; it does not publish the records behind them.

Beyond its service pages, the site carries a large planning library: a "Remodeling Guides" section that it says holds 382 guides on costs, timelines, materials and design, and a statewide Idaho Remodeling Guide with permit, cost, aging-in-place and financing hubs. It also offers a free AI Design Studio for concept images ("for inspiration and planning only") and a bathroom design quiz.

Who owns or runs Iron Crest Remodel?

The site does not name an owner. Its leadership page describes "a small Boise-based team" and lists five people, each with a direct email address on the company domain:

The company says that if an issue needs to go above your project manager, it goes to the people on that page, "a short list, all of them reachable, all of them in Boise." The leadership page does not list trade licenses for individuals. Idaho licenses plumbing, electrical and HVAC work separately, and the company says it confirms "licence and insurance status for the licensed trades" before anyone starts on a job site.

Is Iron Crest Remodel legit?

People usually ask this before they let a contractor into their home or sign a five- or six-figure contract. Here is what can be checked:

• State business record. The Idaho Secretary of State's business search lists Iron Crest Remodeling Group LLC as a domestic limited liability company with the status "Active-Existing" and "Good Standing," with a filing date of 23 February 2026.
• Contractor registration. The company publishes Idaho contractor registration RCE-6681702 and points readers to the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) search, saying "Search for 6681702." It also explains that Idaho registers residential contractors rather than licensing them, "so there is no state trade examination behind the number." We did not look the number up in DOPL's search for this guide; you can, in a minute.
• Insurance and bond. The company says it carries $2,000,000 in general liability insurance, workers' compensation and a contractor surety bond, and that it provides a certificate of insurance before work begins. It also says it can have the carrier name your lender or HOA as an additional insured on request.
• A physical office and public contact details. A street address in downtown Boise, a phone line, a general email and individual staff emails are all published.
• Public review profiles. The site shows "5.0 from 22 Google reviews (as of September 2026)" and links to its Google and Yelp profiles. Its third-party reviews page says it is "not on Angi or Houzz, and we do not buy leads from either."
• What it says it does not hold. Unusually, the site has a "What We Do Not Hold" list: no manufacturer installer certifications ("Not Schluter, not James Hardie, not Trex, not LP SmartSide"), no trade-association memberships (it names NARI, the NKBA, BCA-SWI and the Boise Metro Chamber), and no industry awards.

The company also says you can ask for a reference from a past client with a similar project, or for the address of a finished project near you to look at from the street.

Iron Crest's specialty divisions

The footer of ironcrestremodel.com lists three "Specialty Divisions," each with its own website. Iron Crest Remodel is the parent company that does the full range of remodeling; the divisions focus on one trade each:

• Iron Crest Exteriors for siding and windows. See our guide: Iron Crest Exteriors.
• Boise Bath for bathroom and shower remodeling. See our guide: Boise Bath.
• Iron Crest Earthworks for demolition and excavation. See our guide: Iron Crest Earthworks.

If your project is a single trade, the division site may have more detail on it. If it spans several rooms or mixes interior and exterior work, the parent company is the one that handles the combined job.

What services does it offer?

The services page groups the work into four families. Every item below has its own page on the site.

Flooring covers hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, laminate and carpet, with subfloor preparation, transitions and matching trim. The accessible walk-in shower work is described as "zero-threshold, grab bars & seats," and the site has a separate aging-in-place page.

On materials, the company names the brands it specifies most often: James Hardie (fiber cement siding), Trex (composite decking), Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore (paint), Schluter (tile waterproofing), and Kohler, Moen and Delta (fixtures). It is careful to say this is "a supplier list, not a certification wall," that it installs to each maker's published instructions, and that "you are free to specify something else."

Kitchens and bathrooms in more detail

Kitchen remodeling

The kitchen page says work covers cabinets, countertops, islands, flooring, lighting, plumbing, electrical and load-bearing wall removal for open layouts. The company says demolition "does not start until cabinets and appliances are confirmed," which is why it quotes only 1 to 2 weeks of on-site construction for a kitchen, inside roughly 3 to 4 months from first meeting to finished room once design, permits and cabinet lead times are counted.

It publishes these kitchen tiers:

• Cosmetic refresh: $10,000 to $25,000. Cabinet painting or refinishing, new countertops, hardware, backsplash and paint, no layout change. The company is clear this is "not a full remodel."
• Entry-level full remodel: $22,000 to $38,000.
• Mid-range: $45,000 to $70,000, where the site says most Boise kitchens land.
• High-end: $85,000 to $145,000, with custom cabinetry and structural changes.

Removing a load-bearing wall adds $1,500 to $3,000 for engineering plus $3,000 to $10,000 for the beam and posts. Cabinet grades are given per linear foot: stock $100 to $250 (2 to 3 weeks lead time), semi-custom $200 to $500 (6 to 12 weeks) and custom $500 to $1,200+ (12 to 20 weeks).

Bathroom remodeling

The bathroom page covers waterproofing, tile, plumbing, electrical, vanities and shower or tub-conversion layouts, "including curbless walk-in showers." Its headline range is $12,000 to $95,000, which the company's cost guide breaks into $12,000 to $22,000 for a standard renovation, $25,000 to $45,000 where most projects land, and $55,000 to $95,000 for a luxury primary bath. It adds that moving a toilet, shower drain or tub location adds $2,000 to $6,000, and that pre-1960 North End and Hyde Park homes often need galvanized and cast iron lines replaced, adding $2,000 to $5,000.

If you want only a bathroom or shower, Iron Crest's Boise Bath division (above) specializes in that work.

Additions, ADUs and whole-home remodels

Home additions

The company builds room additions, second stories, bump-outs, primary suites and in-law suites. It publishes $200 to $350 per square foot for ground-floor additions and $250 to $400+ per square foot for second-story additions. It gives two worked examples: a 400 sq ft bedroom addition at $80,000 to $140,000, and an in-law suite with kitchen and bath at $120,000 to $200,000+. On timing, it says most additions take 3 to 6 months from permit approval, a simple bump-out 6 to 8 weeks, and a second story 5 to 8 months, with permitting adding 4 to 8 weeks before construction.

ADU construction

The ADU pages quote $95,000 to $320,000, "with most projects near $165,000." By type: a garage conversion runs $95,000 to $145,000, an attached ADU $120,000 to $260,000, and a detached ADU $145,000 to $320,000; a detached one-bedroom of about 600 square feet "typically runs $145,000 to $220,000." The cost page breaks a project into ten priced components, from foundation to utility connections. It also summarizes Boise's ADU rules as it reads them: a cap of 900 sq ft or 70% of the main home, two bedrooms at most, and no owner-occupancy requirement outside the Harris Ranch Specific Plan. Rules change, so check them with the city before you design.

Whole-home remodeling

For whole-home projects the company quotes $85,000 for a cosmetic multi-room refresh up to $350,000 or more for a gut-to-studs renovation with structural changes. It says the mid-range projects it quotes most often fall between $145,000 and $195,000, typically a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, new flooring throughout, interior paint, updated electrical and new fixtures. The whole-home cost page explains what each tier does and does not include; for example, the budget tier keeps the existing layout, plumbing and wiring and includes no wall removal or panel upgrade.

Water damage repair, demolition and outdoor living

Water damage repair. Iron Crest rebuilds what water damaged: framing, subfloor, drywall, flooring, cabinets and showers, with proper waterproofing. It is direct about the limits: "we are not an emergency water-extraction or drying service," it does not run 24/7 crews or drying equipment, and it is "not a mold-remediation company." The space needs to be dried out first; Iron Crest then handles the reconstruction and provides photos and an itemized scope you can share with your insurance adjuster.

Demolition. The demolition page covers interior and selective demolition, full gut-to-studs, fixture and deck removal, debris hauling and cleanup, mostly as the first phase of a remodel. The company says it follows EPA lead-safe work practices in pre-1978 homes and treats painted surfaces as presumed lead until testing says otherwise, and that it coordinates asbestos testing and abatement under Idaho DEQ rules before disturbing suspect materials. Larger demolition and excavation is the focus of the Iron Crest Earthworks division.

Outdoor living. The company designs and builds pergolas, patio covers, outdoor kitchens, gazebos and pavilions, and fire features "throughout Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Star, Kuna, and Garden City." Decks are built in composite, cedar and custom designs; the cost guide puts deck construction at $18,000 at the budget end, $32,000 to $55,000 mid-range and $95,000+ at the high end, and says "Permits included in all estimates."

Bundled renovations

A bundle puts several projects under one contract, one permit cycle, one schedule and one project manager. The company's argument is practical: dumpsters, floor protection, scaffolding and crew setup happen once, and trades are sequenced once instead of re-queuing for each job. It says plainly that it does not publish a bundling discount percentage; "each bundle is priced as one fixed-price scope and you compare it to separate quotes yourself."

All bundled work carries one 1-year workmanship warranty and one final walkthrough, according to the bundles page.

How much does Iron Crest Remodel cost?

Iron Crest publishes more pricing than most remodelers. Its cost guide hub says the ranges "reflect typical project scopes as of 2026 and include labor, materials, and standard permits." These are planning ranges, not quotes. Your price comes from the fixed-price proposal after the in-home visit.

For windows, the cost guide adds a per-window figure of $400 to $1,200 depending on type, size and energy rating. Home additions are priced per square foot (see above).

What the projects page shows

The projects page lists case studies with a price band and duration. A few examples as published:

• Kitchen transformation in the North End, Boise (open layout, shaker cabinets, quartz, 9-foot island): $45,000 to $55,000.
• Primary bathroom in Meridian (curbless shower, heated floors, double vanity): 5 weeks, $28,000 to $35,000.
• 500 sq ft composite deck with pergola in Eagle: 3 weeks, $35,000 to $45,000.
• Tub-to-shower conversion in Caldwell: 2.5 weeks, $12,000 to $16,000.
• Whole-home LVP flooring, 2,400 sq ft, in Star: 6 days, $14,000 to $18,000.

What is in, and what moves the price

The estimate page says every estimate itemizes labor, materials, permit fees and the timeline, names materials by brand, model and color, and includes "All permits, inspections, and cleanup." The biggest cost drivers named across the site are layout changes, moving plumbing, structural work, cabinet grade, tile choice, and the age of the house (older Boise homes may need wiring, plumbing or lead-safe work). Payment methods are not published, and neither is the deposit amount; the financing pages say payments to Iron Crest "are tied to construction milestones," with the milestones set in your contract.

Does Iron Crest offer financing?

Iron Crest says it is "not a bank or lender" and does not issue loans, set rates, run credit checks or guarantee approval. What it offers is help coordinating "contractor-arranged third-party financing": it supplies the fixed-price scope and documents a lender asks for and schedules construction around confirmed funding. It does not name a financing partner on the site and does not publish rates or sample payments, saying any "as low as" figure "would be misleading by the time you read it."

The financing section explains the common paths homeowners use (savings, home equity loans and HELOCs, cash-out refinance, FHA 203(k) and Title I loans, renovation loans, contractor-arranged financing, and personal loans or promotional plans) and says you are free to use your own bank or credit union. If an application is declined, the company says it can help rescope or phase the project. This guide is not financial advice; talk to a lender or financial professional about your own situation.

How it works, step by step

The company's process page describes six steps:

1. Initial consultation. Free and no-obligation, at your home, 60 to 90 minutes. A project manager measures, assesses conditions, discusses your budget range and flags plumbing, electrical and structural issues.
2. Design and planning. A designer produces layout drawings and works through materials and finishes, settling the selections that drive price and lead times.
3. Detailed proposal. A line-item, fixed-price proposal covering labor, materials, permits, timeline, payment schedule and warranty terms. The contact and estimate pages say it arrives within 5 to 7 business days of the visit.
4. Pre-construction. Permits are pulled "in our own registered name," materials are ordered and staged, and the start date is set against confirmed delivery dates.
5. Construction. The project manager checks work against the specification and sends a daily summary with photos. The service standards page adds a weekly meeting, dust barriers (including ZipWall systems and air scrubbers during demolition and sanding) and end-of-shift cleanup.
6. Final walkthrough. An internal punch list comes first, then a walkthrough with you against the approved scope, then a 30-day check-in after closeout.

Before step 1, the company says it responds to inquiries "within one business day," usually the same day, and the first call takes about 10 to 15 minutes. It says no deposit is needed to receive an estimate and that it does not make follow-up calls pressuring you to sign.

On changes: the company says hidden conditions "such as hidden water damage, outdated wiring, or structural concerns" are documented and communicated the same day, and a written change order with the cost and timeline impact is approved before extra work proceeds.

How long does a remodel take?

The company publishes these typical durations. Your proposal includes a project-specific schedule with milestone dates.

Most people can stay home during the work, the company says. For large jobs that take out the kitchen and bathrooms at the same time, it may recommend moving out for part of construction.

Warranty, registration and insurance

Workmanship warranty. Every project carries a written 1-year workmanship warranty that runs from project completion and stays in effect if you sell the home within that year. The warranty page lists what it covers (installation errors; cracking, warping or separation from improper installation; plumbing and electrical work done in the project; tile, grout and waterproofing failures; paint adhesion failures; cabinet alignment and hardware; flooring installation defects) and what it does not (normal wear, misuse or neglect, later changes by others, acts of nature, natural variation in wood and stone, failure to follow maintenance guidelines, and product defects covered by manufacturers).

Making a claim. Call (208) 779-5551 or email info@ironcrestremodel.com. The company says it schedules an on-site inspection within 5 business days and, if the issue is covered, gives a written repair plan and makes the repair at no cost.

Manufacturer warranties. These are separate, third-party terms. The company names examples: James Hardie fiber cement at a 30-year non-prorated limited substrate warranty with a 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty, and Trex decking at 25 years (Enhance), 35 (Select) and 50 (Transcend and Signature). It says it names the actual term for your products in the proposal and registers products where required.

Registration and insurance. As covered above: RCE-6681702, $2,000,000 general liability, workers' compensation and a bond, by the company's statement, with certificates available before work starts. The company notes that under Idaho Code § 54-5205, only casual or minor work under $2,000 is exempt from contractor registration.

Where is it, and what areas does it serve?

The office is at 950 W Bannock St, Suite 1100, Boise, ID 83702. Hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed on weekends. Consultations happen at your home, so you do not need to visit the office.

The company says it serves 28 communities within an 80-mile radius of Boise:

• Ada County and core cities: Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Garden City.
• Canyon County: Nampa, Caldwell, Middleton, Melba, Notus, Wilder, Parma, Greenleaf.
• Further out: Emmett, Mountain Home, Horseshoe Bend, Idaho City, Homedale, Marsing, Banks, Garden Valley, Smiths Ferry, Cascade, New Plymouth, Fruitland, Payette and Glenns Ferry.

The contact page gives approximate distances from downtown Boise, from Garden City at 5 miles to Cascade at 75 miles. If you are outside the list, it suggests calling, since it "may be able to accommodate projects outside our standard service area." The estimate form asks for the project address to confirm you are in range.

How it compares with other options

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere

Questions to ask before you hire

• Can I see the RCE-6681702 registration on DOPL's search and a current certificate of insurance and bond?
• Who will be my project manager, and what is their direct number?
• What exactly is in the fixed price, and what would trigger a change order on my house?
• What is the payment schedule, how much is due at signing, and which milestones release each payment?
• Which permits does my project need, and who pulls them?
• Which trades are your own crew and which are subcontracted? Are the plumbers and electricians licensed?
• If my home was built before 1978, who does the lead-safe work, and is that firm EPA-certified?
• What are the start date and the milestone dates, and what happens if materials arrive late?
• Can I speak with a past client who had a similar project, or see a finished one nearby?
