My first experience with houseboats was 25 years ago when my parents bought a framed shell of a house with windows and a metal roof on a concrete float.  Since helping them with their build-out, we have done numerous houseboat renovations and repairs from window replacement to standing seam roof installation to renovations of kitchens and bathroom to swim float resurfacing.  Last year, we even demolished a houseboat [...]

Kitchen Remodeling is one of the most stressful types of remodeling. To minimize the negative impact on you and your family, we believe in minimizing the time spent in your house. We work together with you to nail down all aspects of design, product selection and ordering. We finalize the contracts, the quantities needed and place the orders for the materials.

Whole-home remodeling Portland homeowners can use to coordinate scope, budget, layout, construction sequencing, and improvements across the entire house.

Kitchen Remodeling in Older Portland Homes: Layout, Structure, and Hidden Conditions Kitchen remodeling in older Portland homes often involves more than new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring. Many homes throughout the Portland Metro Area were built with smaller kitchens, older plumbing, limited electrical capacity, uneven floors, closed-off layouts, and framing conditions that may not be obvious until the project begins.

Our relationship with this owner started when they moved to town and became our tenants. After having been treated right as tenants, we were their first call when they were looking at buying and again when ready to remodel and expand.

We have replaced five windows and added an air conditioner. We are now replacing another two windows, fixing a sticky front door and creating a new dining room out of a first floor bedroom.

We’ve built a strong following among Portland-area houseboat owners, handling everything from decks and windows to full remodeling and dry rot repair. Working on the water isn’t like standard construction—nothing stays perfectly still. Every detail must be measured and remeasured to ensure a precise, level finish.
