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
Recent NE Portland work: a whole-home renovation in Cully, a backyard ADU in Concordia, and a whole-house remodel with a second-story addition in Sabin — all start-to-finish K&H projects.
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.
Do you build ADUs in NE Portland?
Yes — we recently took a Concordia backyard from bare dirt to a finished, skylit detached ADU in a single season. See the full start-to-finish build on our ADU builders page.
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. We also handle the dry rot repair these older homes often need once the walls open up.
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.
