Portland style shotgun homes or skinny houses add density to Portland and limit sprawl. These skinny homes are part of the reason that we see Portland maintaining its svelte figure. They live large on the inside with minimal care on the outside, ideal for a busy modern lifestyle. Once inside, home owners see no difference between their homes and other homes on the block because all room sizes are standard. There are other advantages, too! With smaller lots, the monthly payment is lower.

A slope in one direction is relatively easy to address, but a lot with a cross-slope presents additional challenges. There can be some sizable expenses that come with extra excavation, framing, material costs, retaining walls and more. Having an experience builder makes a difference. Our biggest cross-slope project was a 22′ difference from right rear corner to left front corner. Most of this difference was dealt within the footprint/design of the house, but still required 12′ retaining walls.
