What is JDI Construction?
JDI Construction is a residential remodeling contractor in Vancouver, Washington. It works on existing homes rather than building new subdivisions, and it uses a design-build model: the same company draws the plan, prices it, pulls the permits and runs the construction. Its home page sums up the pitch as "One team designs, builds, and manages your kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodel, so you are not left juggling contractors, schedules, or surprises."
The company's legal name is JDI Construction NW LLC, doing business as JDI Construction. Its About page says the "JDI" stands for "Just Dream It." It describes itself as family-owned and locally operated since 2007, with its headquarters in downtown Vancouver and a second, appointment-only meeting office in downtown Portland.
The work it lists falls into a few groups:
- Kitchens: layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, plumbing and electrical changes, and appliance installation.
- Bathrooms and showers: primary suites, hall and guest baths, tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in and curbless showers.
- Whole-house remodels: several rooms, systems and finishes updated under one plan.
- Additions and ADUs: new square footage, and attached or detached accessory dwelling units.
- Other listed work: exterior remodeling (siding, windows, decks), home restoration (rot, water damage, worn-out structure) and general contracting.
Most of the site's depth, and nearly all of its published pricing, covers kitchens, bathrooms and whole-home remodels. If your project is mainly exterior or restoration work, ask on the first call how often the company takes that kind of job on its own.
Who owns and runs JDI Construction?
The company's team page says JDI was founded in 2007 by Alex Kulchitskiy, who is originally from Ukraine. It describes the values he set as "work hard, treat people right, take pride in your craftsmanship, and always stand behind your work."
Day-to-day leadership sits with Arthur Kulchitskiy, the Chief Executive Officer. According to the site, he grew up in the construction industry, stepped into a leadership role in 2019, and is "helping carry forward the company his father founded." Arthur is also the named reviewer on the company's kitchen remodeling guide, and homeowners frequently mention him by name ("Art") in the reviews shown on the site.
The Washington state record for the company lists the same Vancouver address and the same office phone number as the website. The site describes the business as family-owned; the leadership group also includes Violet Kulchitskaya, the office manager (see the team).
Is JDI Construction legit? What you can check
Before you let a contractor into your house, check the things a state agency will confirm for you. Here is what we checked on 19 October 2026:
- Washington contractor registration: active. Washington Labor & Industries' public contractor data lists JDI CONSTRUCTION NW LLC, registration JDICOCN932KZ, as an ACTIVE construction contractor with a GENERAL specialty. It shows the registration effective 9 May 2007 and expiring 20 June 2028, a limited liability company with UBI 602697635, at 1419 Broadway St, Vancouver.
- Oregon license: active. Oregon Construction Contractors Board data lists CCB license 176101 for JDI CONSTRUCTION NW LLC as a Residential General Contractor, originally registered 9 May 2007 and expiring 19 April 2028. That record also lists a surety bond and a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy on file, as Oregon requires of licensed contractors, and a separate Lead-Based Paint Renovation Contractor license. Check that the lead-paint license is current if your home was built before 1978.
- A real office. The headquarters is a street address in downtown Vancouver (1419 Broadway Street), open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, with on-site parking according to the contact page.
- Named people. The site names 12 team members with roles and individual bio pages.
- Published reviews. The site shows 4.9 from 223 Google reviews across two Google Business Profiles: 4.9 from 211 on the Vancouver profile and 5.0 from 12 on the Portland profile. These are the company's own displayed figures. It also links to profiles on Houzz, Yelp and the BBB.
- A written warranty with published coverage and exclusions (details below).
Washington L&I's "Verify a Contractor" tool also shows a contractor's bond, insurance and any lawsuits filed against the bond. We used the state's open data, which does not include those fields for Washington, so look them up yourself (links are in the sources). The company says on its About page that it carries general liability insurance and workers' compensation on its employees; ask for a current certificate of insurance before work starts, as you would with any contractor.
What JDI Construction remodels
Each service has its own page, plus city versions for the places JDI serves. The service pages name a "specialist" from the team for each type of job.
| Service | What the site says it covers | Named specialist |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodeling | Layout and design, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, plumbing and electrical changes, appliance installation and permits; 3D renderings and a line-item estimate before anything is ordered | Denise Lacquement, Residential Designer |
| Bathroom remodeling | Hall and guest baths, primary suites and accessibility-friendly baths; walk-in showers, double vanities, heated floors, custom tile, ventilation | Denise Lacquement |
| Shower remodeling | Tub-to-shower conversions, tiled walk-ins, curbless (zero-threshold) showers, benches, niches, grab-bar blocking, glass | Mikhail G., Project Manager |
| Whole-house remodeling | Several rooms, layout, systems (electrical panel, plumbing, insulation) and finishes as one project, often phased so you can stay in part of the home | Eric Ryapolov, Director of Project Management |
| Home additions | Bump-outs to second-story additions, matched to the existing structure, rooflines and finishes; engineering and permits handled | Eugene Zakharov, Project Manager |
| ADUs | Garage or basement conversions and detached cottages; feasibility, design, utility connections and permits | Rick Payne, Remodeling Consultant |
| Design-build / general contracting | One contract for design and construction; JDI can also work from your own architect's plans | Chris Bowden, Lead Remodeling Consultant |
Kitchens. The kitchen pages walk through the decisions that drive cost and schedule: whether a wall you want to open is load-bearing, whether there's room for an island with 36 to 42 inches of clear walkway, whether to move the sink, range or refrigerator (where "cost quietly accumulates"), and settling the cabinet style early because cabinets are the longest-lead item. JDI also takes smaller countertop-only and cabinet-refacing jobs, according to its kitchen guide, though full remodels are its focus.
Bathrooms and showers. The company describes a bathroom as "two projects sharing one room": the finishes you see, and the waterproofing, ventilation and plumbing behind them. Its shower page says it builds "from the framing out": membrane, pan and slope first, then tile and glass. It usually advises keeping at least one tub somewhere in the house for resale.
Whole-house remodels. The site frames the biggest early question as whether you live in the house during the work or move out. It carries a contingency in the budget for hidden conditions in older homes, and can phase the work (kitchen and primary bath first, then the rest), which it says adds about 5 to 10% over one continuous build.
Additions and ADUs. For ADUs, the site singles out site and utility work (sewer, water, power, grading, connection fees) as the cost homeowners most often underestimate, and says permitting a second dwelling can take longer than a standard remodel because it involves zoning and utility review.
What "design-build" means at JDI
JDI's design-build page compares two ways to run the same remodel:
- Design-bid-build (the traditional way): you hire an architect or designer, finish the drawings, then send them out to separate contractors to bid. You learn the real price only after design is done.
- Design-build (JDI's way): one company designs and builds under a single contract. The company says its estimators price each decision while the design develops, so "nothing gets drawn that we haven't already priced," and the two tracks end in "one fixed proposal."
The company argues this leads to fewer surprise change orders, because builders check whether the plan is practical to build while drawings are still being made. That is the company's case for the model. It is also candid that "a very simple, well-defined project, a like-for-like swap with no design decisions and no unknowns, may not need the full design-build engine."
You don't have to use JDI's designers. The site says that if you already have drawings or an architect, JDI can work from your plans and review them for buildability and pricing.
How much does a JDI remodel cost?
JDI publishes planning ranges through three online cost calculators. The company is clear that these are "a budgeting range, not a bid." The ranges include design, drawings, permits, demolition, labor and finished materials (appliances in a kitchen only if you add them), before any sales tax. Each range runs across three finish tiers: Essential (mid-grade materials, standard cabinetry), Signature (custom-built cabinetry, premium quartz or tile, name-brand fixtures) and Luxury (fully custom millwork, high-end stone, luxury appliances).
| Project | Essential | Signature | Luxury |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small kitchen (under 120 sq ft) | $28,000–$45,000 | $48,000–$78,000 | $85,000–$130,000 |
| Medium kitchen (120–200 sq ft) | $42,000–$65,000 | $78,000–$125,000 | $130,000–$210,000 |
| Large kitchen (200+ sq ft) | $62,000–$95,000 | $125,000–$190,000 | $210,000–$360,000 |
| Half / powder bath | $9,000–$16,000 | $16,000–$26,000 | $26,000–$42,000 |
| Full / hall bath | $20,000–$32,000 | $32,000–$58,000 | $58,000–$95,000 |
| Primary suite bath | $38,000–$58,000 | $58,000–$98,000 | $98,000–$185,000 |
| Whole home, standard refresh (1,500–2,500 sq ft) | $85,000–$140,000 | $140,000–$240,000 | $240,000–$420,000 |
| Whole home, mid-sized (2,500–3,500 sq ft) | $135,000–$215,000 | $215,000–$365,000 | $365,000–$620,000 |
| Whole home, large (3,500+ sq ft) | $215,000–$365,000 | $365,000–$625,000 | $625,000–$1,100,000 |
Add-ons the calculators price separately (selected examples): a new or expanded kitchen island, $8,000–$18,000; fully custom cabinetry, $12,000–$25,000; opening walls or structural work in a kitchen, $6,000–$18,000; a walk-in or curbless shower, $4,000–$10,000; a heated tile floor, $2,000–$5,000; a steam shower, $8,000–$15,000; a room addition within a whole-home project, $60,000–$180,000.
What moves the price most. According to the services page, finish level is the biggest single driver: a Signature package "typically runs about 1.6× an Essential one for the same room." After that come moving walls, plumbing or gas, a larger island and custom cabinetry. Phasing a big project spreads the cost but adds about 5 to 10%.
Getting a real number. JDI quotes firm prices in writing after a free in-home visit: typically within a week of the visit for kitchens and bathrooms, and within two to three weeks of the visit and preliminary design for whole-home projects. The site says estimates are written and itemized ("line-item"), so each choice shows what it adds. The bathroom calculator notes that structural repairs found inside walls are not included and are handled by written change order.
Not published: payment schedule and deposit amounts, and prices for exterior, restoration, addition-only or ADU projects. Ask for these at the consultation and make sure they are written into your contract.
How long does a remodel take?
JDI publishes typical on-site times, counted after design, ordering and permits are done:
| Project | Typical construction time (company figures) |
|---|---|
| Kitchen, cosmetic refresh (same layout, new surfaces) | About 3 weeks |
| Kitchen, pull-and-replace (new cabinets, counters, appliances, same layout) | About 5 weeks |
| Kitchen, full gut (back to the studs) | 5 to 8 weeks |
| Full bathroom (Signature tier) | 4 to 6 weeks |
| Primary suite bathroom | 6 to 10 weeks |
| Whole home, standard refresh | 4 to 7 months |
| Whole home, mid-sized or large with additions | 7 to 14 months |
| Home addition | About 3 to 6 months from start to finish (Vancouver additions page) |
The kitchen figures come from Arthur Kulchitskiy as of October 2026, according to the company's kitchen guide. The time before construction (design, selections, ordering and permit review) depends on how fast you make decisions and on product lead times, so JDI doesn't give one number for it. Cabinets are usually the longest-lead item, and their delivery date sets the start. Some older city pages on the site give shorter or vaguer bathroom times ("2 to 5 weeks"), so go by the schedule in your written proposal.
What happens, step by step
JDI calls its process three steps. Combining the process page and its kitchen guide, the sequence looks like this:
- Get in touch. Call or use the online form to book a free consultation. You can also visit the Vancouver office to see material samples.
- In-home consultation. A remodeling specialist visits, talks through your vision, budget, timeline, design ideas and goals, and measures. They look at what limits a design: walls, plumbing, the electrical panel and access from above or below. Scheduling a bid includes free 3D renderings of the proposed layout.
- Written estimate. You receive a detailed, line-item estimate. If you already have a design or your own designer, JDI can price that design and work with them.
- Design agreement and design phase. When you sign the design agreement, JDI's design team develops layout plans, design options, finish selections, 3D renders and mood boards, and takes you to partner showrooms to choose materials and fixtures.
- Design finalization and budget. The design is checked against the budget, materials are ordered and construction is scheduled, including permits.
- Pre-construction meeting. Working hours, material staging, protecting the rest of the house and what you need to clear out. The design team hands the project to construction, and a dedicated project manager becomes your main contact.
- Construction. Protection and demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, inspections (JDI schedules them; walls aren't closed until rough-ins pass), drywall and flooring, cabinets, countertops, finishes, then final inspection and a punch list. You can follow along in a client portal that shows progress photos, daily reports and invoices.
- Final walkthrough. You walk the finished space with JDI and receive documentation of installed products, vendor warranties, product packets and the 5-year written workmanship warranty.
For homes built before 1978, the kitchen guide notes that painted surfaces that will be disturbed are handled under Washington's lead-safe renovation rules.
Who you will work with
The team page lists 12 people in four groups. These are the names and titles as the site gives them:
| Group | Person | Role, as described on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Leadership | Alex Kulchitskiy | Founder; founded JDI in 2007 |
| Leadership | Arthur Kulchitskiy | Chief Executive Officer; in a leadership role since 2019 |
| Leadership | Violet Kulchitskaya | Office Manager; oversees daily administrative operations |
| Leadership | Eric Ryapolov | Director of Project Management; the site says he has been involved in more than 400 JDI projects |
| Leadership | Dmitriy Vityukov | Operations Manager; systems, processes and teamwork |
| Project management | Eugene Zakharov | Project Manager; 15+ years in carpentry and construction, a finish carpenter turned project manager |
| Project management | Mikhail G. | Project Manager; construction details and quality control |
| Remodeling consultants | Chris Bowden | Lead Remodeling Consultant; previously led a design team at a Portland-area design-build firm |
| Remodeling consultants | Mike Prantsevich | Remodeling Consultant; patient, methodical planning |
| Remodeling consultants | Rick Payne | Remodeling Consultant; previously owned a remodeling business |
| Design | Denise Lacquement | Residential Designer; kitchens, baths, whole-home and additions |
| Design | Tanya Omelko | Interior Designer; kitchen and bathroom design, background in high-end residential interiors |
In practice, a remodeling consultant usually handles the first visit and estimate, a designer takes you through selections, and a project manager runs the build. Trades such as electrical and plumbing are coordinated by the project manager; reviews on the site mention JDI managing subcontractors. If it matters to you who does the hands-on work, ask which trades are JDI employees and which are subcontractors for your job.
Where JDI works, and its offices
Headquarters: 1419 Broadway Street, Vancouver, WA 98663. Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, with on-site parking. The contact page says the office is open for in-person consultations and to see material samples.
Portland office: 111 SW 5th Ave, Ste 3150, Portland, OR 97204, by appointment only.
Service area. The site's main list covers, in Washington: Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Brush Prairie, Felida, La Center, Salmon Creek, Woodland, Yacolt and Orchards; and in Oregon: Portland, Beaverton, Gresham, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Tualatin, Hillsboro and Oregon City. Its full service-area page lists 30 cities, also including Hazel Dell, Fairview, Forest Grove, Happy Valley, McMinnville, Milwaukie, Salem, Sherwood, Troutdale, West Linn and Wood Village. The About page adds: "Not sure if your home is in our service area? Call us at (360) 309-9571. We travel for the right project."
The company says it pulls permits in the City of Vancouver, City of Portland, Clark County and Multnomah County.
The 5-year warranty
JDI offers a 5-year written workmanship warranty on its remodels, counted "from the day we hand you the keys." The warranty page spells out the terms:
- Covered: workmanship on everything JDI installed (carpentry, finish work, drywall, trim, tile, cabinet and countertop installation, finished plumbing and electrical connections); defects caused by how it was built; door, drawer and hardware alignment; grout cracking, tile loosening or waterproofing failures on surfaces JDI installed; caulk and sealant; paint, stain and finishes JDI applied.
- Not covered: normal wear and cosmetic aging; manufacturer defects in appliances, faucets and fixtures (those fall under the product's own warranty, listed in your project binder); owner-caused damage, including unaddressed leaks or later work by others; and acts of nature such as earthquake, flood or fire.
- Cost: covered repairs, labor and JDI-supplied materials are at no cost. The company says the warranty is included in the project price, not sold as an add-on.
- Transferable: it passes to the next owner for the rest of the term "with no additional paperwork required."
- How to claim: submit the warranty form on the site or call. The company says a project manager responds within one business day, an on-site inspection (if needed) is usually scheduled within the following week at no cost, and you sign off once the fix is done.
- Older projects: projects completed before 2015 were covered by earlier warranty terms; JDI says it will pull your file to check what applies.
Financing and paying
JDI is a contractor, not a lender. Its financing page lists two lending partners, and each application opens on the lender's own site, where the lender makes the credit decision:
- Lend Home Improvements (powered by Momnt Technologies): one short application is sent to several lending partners, so you can compare offers. The page lists fixed monthly payment options and no prepayment penalty.
- Medallion Bank: a direct loan from an FDIC-insured bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah (FDIC Cert. 57449). The page says it has financed home improvement projects since 2012, and the application is set up for JDI projects.
The page's disclosure says all financing is subject to credit approval, and rates, terms and monthly payments are set by the lender. Whether applying affects your credit depends on the lender and the step; each lender says so on its application. JDI does not publish rates or loan terms. Projects that can be financed include kitchens, bathrooms, additions, ADUs and whole-home remodels.
The site doesn't publish its deposit or payment schedule. Ask for it in writing, and compare it with your state's consumer guidance on contractor payments before you sign.
Current offers and the referral bonus
When we checked, the offers page listed these promotions, each marked "Expires October 31, 2026":
- $1,500 off a complete bathroom or kitchen remodel (code JDI689670), for full kitchen or bathroom renovations in the Vancouver and Portland metro areas. It requires a free estimate and can't be combined with other discounts. The October banner pairs it with free 3D design layouts.
- $1,500 off a walk-in shower or walk-in tub job (code JDI-SHWR-4827). First-time incentive, one per household, must be presented before an estimate is given, not combinable.
- $10,000 project credit on whole-home remodels (code JDI-BUILD-4827) for qualifying multi-room or whole-home contracts. One per household, presented before the estimate, not combinable.
- $750 referral bonus (code JDI-REF-7392). For past JDI customers only: refer up to five people, and if one signs a contract worth $10,000 or more, you receive $750. Referrals must be submitted through the referral form, on or after 29 July 2025, and the bonus is paid once the contract is signed and verified.
Offers change month to month. Mention a code when you book, as the terms require, and confirm what is current.
Reviews and past projects
The site shows 4.9 from 223 Google reviews (211 on the Vancouver profile at 4.9, 12 on the Portland profile at 5.0). Its reviews page pulls live reviews from both profiles and links to Houzz, Yelp and BBB listings. These are the company's own displayed figures; we don't rate or score clients.
Recurring themes in the reviews the site displays are communication from the project manager, crews showing up when promised, clean job sites, and Arthur's involvement in planning and selections. One reviewer wrote that JDI estimated 8 to 12 weeks for a kitchen and living room project that was "completely done in about 6"; that is one homeowner's experience, not a typical timeline.
The testimonials page lists 15 video stories (9 kitchens, 4 bathrooms, 3 whole-home) from homeowners in places such as Tigard, Portland, Camas, Salmon Creek and Vancouver. The projects section has 54 project pages with before-and-after photos, grouped into kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, additions and exterior categories.
Free planning tools: cost calculators, visualizer, guide
- Cost calculators for kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes: a roughly 90-second quiz showing a range before you share contact details. "No sales call required to see your range."
- AI design visualizer: upload a photo of your kitchen or bathroom, pick a style, and get an AI design concept on your existing layout. Free, no sign-up. The page notes that concepts "are for inspiration" and that final layout and pricing need an on-site assessment.
- Kitchen Remodeling Guide: 116 articles on kitchen costs, permits, building codes, Washington and Oregon contractor law, materials, appliances and hiring, reviewed by Arthur Kulchitskiy.
How it compares with other ways to remodel
| Option | What you get | Typical trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Design-build remodeler (JDI's model) | Design, pricing, permits, trades and warranty under one contract and one project manager | You commit to one company early; less suited to a simple like-for-like swap |
| Architect or independent designer, then bid to contractors | Independent design; competing construction bids | Price known only after design; you coordinate two parties |
| Big-box store installation program | Products and installation bought together, often standard sizes | Limited design and layout changes; installers are usually subcontracted |
| Single-trade specialist (for example, a shower or cabinet installer) | Focused work on one element, often quick | You manage any other trades, permits and design yourself |
| Handyman | Small repairs and cosmetic updates | Not suited to permitted plumbing, electrical or structural work |
| DIY with your own subcontractors | Most control and possibly lower cost | You carry permits, scheduling, inspections and the risk |
Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you…
- Live in Clark County or the Portland metro and are planning a kitchen, bathroom, whole-home remodel, addition or ADU
- Want one company to design, price, permit and build the project
- Want to see 3D renderings and an itemized estimate before committing
- Value a single project manager, a client portal and a written, transferable 5-year workmanship warranty
- Already have plans or an architect and want a builder who will price and build from them
Look elsewhere if you…
- Live outside southwest Washington and northwest Oregon
- Need a quick repair or a like-for-like swap with no design decisions (the company itself says that may not need design-build)
- Have a budget below the published starting ranges (about $9,000 for a powder room, $28,000 for a kitchen)
- Are building a new custom home from the ground up rather than remodeling
- Need weekend office hours (the office is open Monday to Friday)
Questions to ask before you hire
- Which tier (Essential, Signature or Luxury) is my project closest to, and what would move it up or down?
- What does the design agreement cost, and is it credited toward construction if I go ahead?
- What is the deposit and payment schedule, and how are change orders priced and approved?
- Which trades on my job are JDI employees and which are subcontractors?
- Who will be my project manager, and how often will they be on site?
- Can I see a current certificate of insurance, and is the lead-paint renovation license current (for pre-1978 homes)?
- When will my cabinets and special-order items arrive, and how does that set my start date?
- Which current offer applies to my project, and can you note it on the estimate?
How to get started
- Run the kitchen, bathroom or whole-home calculator to see a planning range.
- Browse past projects and reviews for work like yours.
- Check the current offers and note the code.
- Request a free in-home consultation on the contact page, call (360) 309-9571, or email info@jdiconstruction.co.
- Have everyone who will make decisions at the consultation, as the company suggests, so the scope doesn't change later.
