How would you feel

Coming home to this Living Space after a long day at the office?

I don’t know about you, but having a comfortable, functional living space is pretty important to me and my family. I personally like things in their place, tidy, clean, and inviting. When I look at this photo, I just don’t feel that way.

But I also know that with a little elbow grease, creativity, and the right team, this house doesn’t have to look like this. we did a complete “re-do” on this house, more than just a “little elbow grease”. We kept the “bones” that were deep within the “crud” and made it into the gem of the neighborhood. Whether you’re dreaming of a custom-built home, planning a remodel or renovation, adding much-needed space with an addition or ADU, there’s always an opportunity to transform a house into a place you’re proud to call home. The amazing thing is that after our renovation, the neighborhood was very happy and when we were finished the home sold in 5 days and was part of a small bidding war.

If you’re in East Portland and ready to make your space work better for you, let’s talk about what’s possible.

Neighborhood Renovation

Living spaces are places where we live and this front porch is now an extension of the great renovation that was done on the inside. This type of improvement doesn’t only increase the value of the homes we renovate but also all of the surrounding homes. This house attracts families and people that will make it their home and treat it with care. When neighborhoods have more houses that are cared for, the neighborhood becomes a community, people look out for one another. Living Spaces become gathering places for conversation and play dates, coffee time and cocktail parties. That is the type of environment we help to create.

How we found it

The house to the left got an entire “face lift” but many homes just need a simple remodel or renovation like a fresh coat of paint, some trim around the windows and a new roof. Add to that some creative landscaping and your house becomes a real home. As you can see when we were done the house on the right is the house you would rather drive home to after a long day at work.

Our living spaces are where we do most of our living. In the winter here in Oregon much of your living space will be indoors with the exception of covered patios with fire pits. It is wet and cold and so like cozy rooms where the family and friends can gather. We strive to help you remodel or renovate your living space to give you the cozy comfort you need.

You start to get the idea that if we can fix up some of these places, then yours should be a snap. It really just depends on the scope of work that you want to have performed. It empowers us to know that we can have the home we have always dreamed about.

New flooring, paint, lighting, trim around the windows and base can really do wonders wouldn’t you say?

If you love where you live, from the neighbors you have, to the parks and schools, to being close to all the places you need. Then the only thing that can be improved with remodels or renovations is the house is not quite the home you envisioned, There is no reason to move. With careful planning we can help you create the home you want, and careful planning is what we do.

In summer our living spaces extend outside. We BBQ and entertain and having a space to do that in is a great way to make sure that everyone is comfortable and having a good time.  This is an example of building an outdoor living space that bring more to your home. The owners had us install a pizza oven along with the outdoor kitchen, pergola, and fireplace. We can help renovating or remodeling many different aspects of your home. We are here to help you create the dream home you have always envisioned.
