We are Kirkland's Favorite Builder Merit Homes is your Northwest Contemporary Specialist, and we are consistently rated one of the best builders on the Eastside. Our rich Kirkland history goes all the way back to 1971, long before Merit Homes - as you know us today - was even a concept. Since we became incorporated in 2002 as 'Merit Homes', we've created a name for ourselves in our thriving waterfront community, having built nearly 300 forward-leaning homes of enduring value. We are a residential home builder and land development company, and we are proud to #BuildKirklandTogether.
