Plan & Design

We visit your home, listen to your goals, and assess plumbing and fixtures. For historic homes in Northeast Portland, we check for code requirements early.

Permits & Prep

We handle Portland's permit process. Most bathroom remodels need trade permits for plumbing and electrical. Prep includes protecting your space and planning material delivery.

Demo & Build

We remove old fixtures carefully, update plumbing and electrical systems, install tile and flooring, and set new vanities. Inspectors verify work at each phase.

Finish & Inspect

Final trim, paint, fixtures, and hardware go in. We schedule final inspections, close permits, and deliver a remodel ready to use.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Historic Home Bathrooms

Northeast Portland homes from the 1920s–1950s need special care. Narrow hallways, small bathrooms, and century-old framing demand skillful planning. We respect your home's original character while meeting modern codes.

Many homes also sit near historic overlay zones, which require reviews before major exterior work or new windows.

Permit process in Portland requires careful coordination with Bureau of Development Services

Portland Permit Knowledge

Portland requires permits when you move plumbing, upgrade electrical, or add a bathroom. The Simple Bathroom Permit program streamlines many standard projects. We navigate these rules so your remodel stays legal and insurable.

Hidden System Issues

Old Portland homes often hide bad surprises: outdated copper, mineral buildup, rot behind walls. We uncover these early, plan for them, and protect your budget. Lead-safe practices apply to all homes built before 1978.

Oregon requires all contractors handling painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes to hold a Lead-Based Paint license.

Serving Northeast Portland Neighborhoods

We serve homeowners across Northeast Portland, including the Lloyd District, Jade District, Irvington, Beaumont-Wilshire, and Rose City Park. Each neighborhood has its own character—and we know how to remodel in each one.

E-E-A-T Note: Our team has 15+ years of bathroom and kitchen remodeling experience in Portland's older neighborhoods. We understand period fixtures, code transitions, and local builder practices.

Irvington & Historic Close-In Areas

Irvington bathrooms are beloved for original tile, wood details, and compact footprints. We refresh these gems while keeping their soul intact—preserving hex tile, updating old plumbing behind original walls, and matching trim work.

Lloyd District & Convention Area

Newer apartments and condos near the Oregon Convention Center often need bathroom updates for style and function. We handle efficient layouts, accessible features, and modern finishes in these multi-family settings.

Jade District & Affordable Housing

Jade District homes range from mid-century cottages to newer builds. We provide quality remodels at honest prices—respecting tight budgets while delivering durable work that lasts.

Kitchen Remodeling in Northeast Portland

A modern kitchen honors your home while serving your family. We handle everything from cabinet updates to full remodels with new plumbing and electrical runs—always respecting the character of your Northeast Portland home.

Layout & Workflow

Old kitchens feel cramped. We open sightlines, improve traffic flow, and create work triangles that make cooking easier—without tearing into load-bearing walls without proper support.

Cabinetry & Storage

Custom or semi-custom cabinets fit your space, style, and budget. Pantries, pull-outs, and clever shelving turn kitchens into organized, functional homes.

Counters & Backsplash

Quartz, granite, or butcher block counters paired with tile, glass, or shiplap backsplashes create the look you love—durable and easy to maintain.

Appliances & Plumbing

New sink, faucet, range, and refrigerator placement improve both function and energy efficiency. We run new lines cleanly and code-compliant.

FAQs

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Portland?

Yes, if you move plumbing, upgrade electrical, or add a bathroom. Replacing fixtures in place may not. Portland's Simple Bathroom Permit program streamlines some projects. We handle all permit work.

What if my home was built before 1978?

Lead-safe work practices are required when painted surfaces are disturbed. All our contractors hold Oregon Lead-Based Paint Renovation licenses. Safety is built into every project.

Do you work on kitchen and bathroom remodels together?

Yes. Combining projects saves cost and disruption. We sequence kitchen and bathroom work to minimize overlap and keep your home functional as long as possible.

Can you work in a historic overlay zone?

Yes. Historic overlays in Northeast Portland (like parts of Irvington and Alberta) require design review for exterior work. Interior remodels generally have fewer restrictions. We handle the review process.

What about ventilation in Portland bathrooms?

Oregon code requires mechanical exhaust in all bathrooms—minimum 80 CFM intermittent or 20 CFM continuous. We install compliant fans that pass inspection and control moisture.

Are you licensed to work in Portland?

Yes. Our team holds Oregon Construction Contractor Board (CCB) licenses for general contracting, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. All credentials are verifiable.
