Kitchens / Portland, Oregon

Kitchens, drawn before they're built.

Know the layout, the finishes and the price before demo day. One crew runs the whole remodel, from the subfloor to the last cabinet pull.

Countertop

White quartz. Doesn't stain, no sealing.

Cabinets

Lake blue. Painted shaker doors.

Hardware

Aged brass.

Swatches show the idea, not exact colors. You see real samples at the consultation.

The decisions happen on paper, not in your torn-out kitchen.

Most remodels run long because choices get made after the walls are open: where the outlet goes, whether the tile you picked is in stock, what the plumber found. Each one stops the job.

We draw the layout, pick every finish with you and price it in writing before we take anything out. When demo day comes, the materials are ordered and the plan is set.

Plumbing and electrical are done by licensed plumbers and electricians we hire and manage, with permits where the work needs them. You deal with one company.

What we remodel

Two rooms. Done start to finish.

Design concept, not a photo

Laundry and mudrooms

Hard-working small rooms with cabinets, counters and floors that take the abuse.

What's under the finish

Subfloor to backsplash.

You'll see the counters and cabinets every day. These are the layers that decide how long they last.

Questions

What people ask first.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

[Typical weeks from demo to walkthrough, once Tim confirms.] Most of the waiting happens before demo, while cabinets and stone are made. That's why we order everything first and start only when it's ready.

Can I live at home during it?

Usually, yes. Most families live at home through a kitchen remodel, with a temporary kitchen set up in another room and the work area sealed off with dust walls. How to plan for it.

What order does the work go in?

Design and ordering, demolition, framing, plumbing and electrical with inspections, drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, then fixtures, appliances and trim. See every step.

Do you handle plumbing and electrical?

We manage it. The work itself is done by licensed plumbers and electricians, with permits where needed, on our schedule and under our contract.

Can I supply my own cabinets?

Yes. You can supply your own cabinets, tile and fixtures, and we install them. Our warranty covers the installation; the maker's warranty covers the item. How it works best.
