Our work
What we found, and what we did about it
Finished photos are easy. These write-ups include what was behind the walls, what it changed about the scope, and how long it actually took.
Kitchen RemodelingCraftsman Kitchen, Opened to the Back of the House
Alameda, Portland, OR9 weeks on site
A 1922 Craftsman with a kitchen closed off from the rest of the ground floor. We took out a bearing wall, rebuilt the layout around a working island, and kept the house's proportions intact.
Venetian Plaster & TadelaktPolished Plaster in a Dining Room and Entry
Beaumont, Portland, OR2 weeks on site
Two rooms in hand-applied lime plaster, sampled on site over four days because the finish reads completely differently under Portland's light.
StuccoStucco Restoration After Hidden Water Damage
Vancouver, WA7 weeks on site
Cracking that two other contractors had quoted as a patch job turned out to be a drainage failure. We opened the wall, corrected the assembly, and re-stuccoed.
Decks & Outdoor StructuresMulti-Level Cedar Deck on a Sloped Lot
Sellwood, Portland, OR4 weeks on site
A steep back yard that had never really been usable, turned into two connected deck levels with stairs down to the garden.
Pavers & PatiosPaver Patio and Seat Wall on a Sloped Yard
Camas, WA3 weeks on site
A back yard with enough fall that water ran toward the house. We regraded it, drained it, and put a level patio where the slope used to be.
Bathroom RemodelingPrimary Bath With a Curbless Shower
Irvington, Portland, OR5 weeks on site
A cramped 1930s bathroom rebuilt as a curbless wet room, with the floor structure altered while it was open so the owners never have to do it again.
Siding & WindowsSiding and Window Replacement, With What Was Behind It
Hawthorne, Portland, OR6 weeks on site
A siding replacement that turned into a rot repair, because that is what siding replacements on eighty-year-old houses usually are.
Renovations & RestorationWhole-Home Restoration of a 1913 Foursquare
Laurelhurst, Portland, OR7 months on site
A house that had been unsympathetically modernised in the 1970s, taken back to its proportions and brought up to how the owners actually live.
We work across Alameda, Irvington, Laurelhurst, Sellwood, Hawthorne, Beaumont, Alberta, and Multnomah Village in Portland, plus Vancouver, Camas, and the rest of Clark County.
