Bathtub Refinishing & Resurfacing

Not all remodels require full replacement. Refinishing your existing tub is a cost-effective way to refresh without plumbing changes. We resurface fiberglass, acrylic, and cast iron tubs—ideal for condo units where walls stay unchanged.

  • High-gloss epoxy finish application
  • Color updates and surface repairs
  • Fast turnaround with minimal disruption

Why Local Expertise Matters

Downtown Portland and the Pearl District have distinct remodeling requirements.

HOA & Condo Rules

High-rise condos and converted warehouses in the Pearl require HOA approval before remodeling begins. We manage those applications, understand your building's CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), and ensure every fixture and finish meets your building's guidelines.

Plumbing & Building Code Compliance

Portland's building codes—and downtown condo requirements—are strict. Bathrooms require licensed plumbing permits, electrical work must be inspected, and water damage risk is high in multi-unit buildings. We pull all permits and coordinate inspections so your work is legal and insured.

Historic & Modern Building Types

The Pearl District is a mix: original brick warehouse conversions with older plumbing, plus modern high-rise condos built in the last 20 years with compact layouts. We know how to upgrade a 1920s loft bathroom while respecting its historic bones—and how to maximize functionality in a 150-square-foot condo bath.

500+ bathrooms remodeled in Downtown Portland and the Pearl District—we understand your neighborhood's unique challenges and opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need HOA approval before starting a bathroom remodel in my downtown condo?

Yes. Most Portland condo buildings require HOA approval for any remodeling work. We submit your design plans and handle the entire approval process.

Wall-mounted vanities, corner shelving, frameless shower glass, and linear drains maximize space. We recommend porcelain tile—durable and easy to clean in Portland's damp climate.
