NE Portland homes have character worth keeping — and systems worth replacing. We remodel the Craftsman bungalows, four-squares, and mid-century homes of Alberta, Irvington, Concordia, Woodlawn, and beyond: preserving the trim, proportions, and charm while rebuilding kitchens, baths, and layouts for how you live now. Some of our favorite completed projects are NE Portland homes — see them in the gallery.
Old-House Remodeling Is Its Own Craft
Century-old homes hide surprises: knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, plaster walls, floors that lean into a corner. We’ve opened enough NE Portland walls to know what’s probably behind yours — and we plan and price for it honestly instead of change-ordering you to death.
- ✓ Kitchens that respect the house — modern function inside period character
- ✓ Bathroom additions and remodels — including carving a second bath into a one-bath bungalow
- ✓ Layout corrections — opening chopped-up floor plans while keeping structural integrity
- ✓ System upgrades — electrical and plumbing modernization, permitted and inspected
- ✓ Basement & attic conversions — real living space from underused square footage

NE Portland Remodeling FAQ
Which NE Portland neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them — Alberta Arts, Irvington, Concordia, Woodlawn, Sabin, King, Vernon, Cully, Beaumont-Wilshire, Grant Park, Hollywood, and Rose City Park.
Can you work on older/historic homes?
It’s our bread and butter. We’re experienced with plaster, period trim, balloon framing, and the permitting realities of older Portland housing stock.
What if you find knob-and-tube or galvanized pipe?
We flag likely system issues during the estimate — not mid-project — and price options up front. If something unexpected appears once walls open, you get a clear written change option, never a surprise bill.
