This 1925 Westmoreland Bungalow Basement Conversion project created an Entertainment Space and Second Bathroom in the home. Extra space is needed for family movie night, space for the two kids to play, and for Dad to take a shower! With 790 square feet of current living space, the 300 sq. ft. Basement Conversion will result in a 40% increase in total living space.



Ayers Residence

This Irvington Neighborhood project converted the Basement of this 1923 Bungalow into an Entertainment Space, Guest Bedroom, and 2nd Bathroom in the home. Extra space is needed for guests and a Home Office/Entertainment area for the retired residents! With 985 square feet of current living space, the 700 sq. ft. Basement Addition will result in nearly doubling the total living space in the home.

Our Clients called us from a project flyer like this one that was left at their home while we worked in the neighborhood in the Fall of 2008. When they were ready to move forward, we were here!



Gundburg Residence

This 1910 Craftsman style home is located in NE Portland’s Sabin Neighborhood with a full unfinished basement that previously housed a workshop and laundry area.  Our clients decided to add valuable living space to their home by utilizing area within their existing home footprint.  We created a 510 square foot Entertainment/Play Room and the remainder became a Utility/Laundry Room.  Walls were framed, insulated and drywalled around the perimeter; the plumbing was updated; and electrical outlets, switches, recessed lights, Cable TV, and Telephone were installed throughout.  The basement has been converted into a lavish carpeted living space with two closets, a built-in TV/Bookcase area, and new windows.  The finish carpentry includes wide baseboards, raised panel doors, wood windowsills, and a beautiful new banister leading into the basement.



Centrone Residence







This 1988 Rowhouse is located in Southwest Portland’s Johns Landing neighborhood. The double-deep tandem garage was intended for future conversion to living space with rough plumbing already in place. With a baby on the way, our client decided to expand their living area to create a home office and guest bedroom with bathroom and large closet. We converted the rear half of the garage into a beautiful hallway, bedroom, bathroom, and storage closet to accommodate their growing family. We were able to re-use good lumber from demolition, Zero-VOC paint, eco-friendly laminate hardwood flooring, and porcelain tile to create a clean and toxin free indoor environment. A little care and consideration went a long way in achieving a high quality result within budget and on-time!

Shugart Residence

This 1906 Craftsman Bungalow is located in Southeast Portland’s Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood. The home had no garage, so the access from the rear alley provided the perfect opportunity to build an oversized one-car garage with plenty of room for hobbies. We constructed a beautiful garage and trellis leading to the rear deck to match the style of the existing home, installed new exterior siding on the house, constructed a sandstone acid-washed concrete walkway around the entire house, and re-landscaped the front and rear yards. These improvements add tremendous value to the home by increasing its functionality and curb appeal.

Zenobia Residence

This 1923 Sears Catalog Craftsman Home is located in Northeast Portland’s Grant Park neighborhood. The exterior paint, roof, and front porch trellis had been neglected by its previous owner. After extensive exterior wood replacement, paint removal, and roof reconstruction, the home received a brand new outer skin that will make it last for many more decades.





Calhoun Residence

This 1967 Split-Level Home is located in Southwest Portland’s Raleigh Hills neighborhood. A second-story kitchen addition was on the agenda. We made structural improvements to the existing home and deck where a kitchen addition was constructed to accommodate a full re-design of the interior layout.
