Portland Home Remodeling

Bathroom Remodels — Kitchen Remodels — Home Additions and Renovations

The Portland home remodeling industry is strong, and growing stronger, according to  recent studies. In the Portland Metro area, the Cost vs Value ratio (the measure of how remodeling your home increases home value) began to slump in 2006, but has steadily increased in recent years. The Portland Metro area has seen consecutive years of marked growth in the cost vs value ratio for remodeling investment, as well as in overall re-sale value of residential homes. In fact, the Pacific Northwest region continues to be one of the highest performing nationwide in terms of remodeling value and housing growth. Leitner Construction has served homeowners in the Portland home remodeling market for years, and has developed a reputation and niche in three key areas of Portland home remodeling:

Bathroom Remodeling

Our design team works hard to stay ahead of the curve in terms of style and usability in what may be the most important room in the house.  The bathroom remodeling trends we’ve explored, among others, this year include: (credit: DIY Network)

  • use of glass and subway tile
  • bold colors
  • multi-head showers and unique fixtures
  • in-floor radiant heat
  • framed mirrors
  • steam showers
  • designer lighting
  • entertainment centers
  • open-flame fireplaces or features

Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen remodels have traditionally been good investments, and this continues to hold true.  In the remodeling study noted above, kitchen remodels delivered the most “bang for the buck” in terms of value, and outperformed bathrooms on average, despite a 10% increase in all remodeling projects.  61 % of kitchen remodels in this study involved changes and upgrades to kitchens.

We love kitchens, as evidenced by our kitchen remodeling portfolio, and continue to explore new ideas and design trends with our clients.  in 2014, trends in kitchen remodeling include (credit: HGTV):

  • modern style elements
  • white or gray cabinetry
  • simple countertops
  • glossy finishes and minimalist designs.
  • blended or hidden appliances
  • hammered matte brass hardware and fixtures

Whole Home Remodeling and Additions

Home remodeling is expected to see double-digit gains this year, according the Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies.  Home renovations are once again becoming an attractive option for homeowners with desires to update or upgrade the living space throughout their home.  Homeowners surveyed by Angie’s List this year reported plans to create more open living spaces by taking out kitchen walls, adding hardwood floors, incorporating technology and mobile integration into their home systems, and increasing bathroom space by separating showers and tubs.

Overall, in whole home remodeling, there is a trend toward mixing old styles with new, especially throughout classic, period homes.  In the Portland home remodeling market, boasting many areas rich in older home styles, this is especially true.  Our design team is proficient in blending old with new in the classic Portland styles.

The time may be right for you to create the living space you’ve always dreamed of, and Leitner Construction is ready to help.   We provide home remodeling project management services in Lake Oswego and West Linn, Oregon City and throughout the Portland area.  We are also increasing our work and presence in  Vancouver and Camas, and throughout Clark County.  Please contact us to discuss how our team can help.

“In order to realize our dream we were looking for a contractor that could dream with us, tell us when our dreams didn’t match reality with regards to design, cost and timing for completion. We were very fortunate to select Leitner Construction, as they helped us rebuild a big part of our home, by being a good partner, advisor and builder to complete the project to match our dreams.”

“We are thoroughly enjoying our master bath remodel completed by Leitner Construction. A major remodel can be disruptive and stressful, what we appreciated most about Tim and Jill where how they respected our budget, kept in communication with us and remained professional under pressure, a statement of their integrity.”

“Very professional, did an excellent job, cleaned up, came in right at budget and were finished on time. There were no surprises. Tim walked us through every step. Each day we knew what to expect and were never caught off guard. Every worker we met was honest, respectful of our property and our lives. There were no “re-dos” or mistakes made in any of our jobs.”

"It was with much excitement and nervousness that I began my search for a company to remodel my 1922 fixer. A chance encounter with a co-worker lead to conversation about remodeling. She was very excited to tell me about Leitner Construction. Working with you and your employees has been a pleasant, positive experience. Your motto Integrity-Quality-Service is SPOT ON!"

“We’re pleased to say that our entire experience with Tim and his wonderful crew of sub-contractors was completely painless. We found everyone ready and willing to listen to our ideas, concerns and graciously share their own. We lived in the house during the remodel with our two young children and didn’t find the process disruptive to our lives. And we appreciate how everyone on the team was considerate when our children were around."
