One Contractor, One Phone Number, Start to Finish
The hardest part of a remodel usually isn't the construction — it's the coordination. Homeowners who hire trades piecemeal end up as the project manager: chasing the tile guy because the plumber finished early, sitting home for an inspection nobody scheduled, and finding out in week six that two subs each assumed the other was handling the electrical. That's where remodels go sideways.
We take that off you. Santiago runs the job with his own crew, sequences the trades, pulls the permits, schedules the inspections, and is the single person you call when you have a question. You get a written scope, a real timeline, and updates as things move — including the honest ones when a wall opens up and shows us something we didn't expect.
We work on everything from a single bathroom to a full renovation, and on homes across Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground and the rest of Clark County — including older properties where the framing isn't square and nothing is where the plans say it should be. Twenty-plus years here means very little surprises us anymore.

Signs It's Time to Call
If any of these sound like your home, it's worth a free look before the problem grows.
The layout fights you every day
A kitchen where two people can't pass, or a bathroom door that hits the vanity. Layout problems don't get better with new finishes — they need the walls moved.
You're out of room but you like the neighborhood
For a lot of Clark County families, an addition or a finished basement is a better deal than buying up, especially once you count the cost of moving.
Soft floors or persistent smell in a bathroom
A spongy spot near a tub or toilet means water has been reaching the subfloor. That's a repair that has to happen anyway — the remodel is the efficient time to do it.
Original kitchen, original everything
If the cabinets, counters and appliances all date to the same decade and it wasn't recent, you're maintaining a system that's at the end of its life all at once.
Unfinished basement doing nothing
Finished basement square footage is the cheapest livable space you can add — the shell already exists. It needs egress, insulation and proper moisture handling done right.
You've had three bids and three different scopes
When quotes aren't comparable, it's usually because they're not describing the same job. We write down exactly what's included so you can actually compare.
How the Job Runs, Start to Finish
No mystery, no surprise invoices. Here's exactly what happens after you reach out.
Consultation & scope
We walk the space, talk through what you want and what it'll take, and put a detailed written scope together — with the choices that affect budget flagged early instead of at invoice time.
Design, selections & permits
Layout gets finalized, you make your material selections, and we submit for permits with the city or Clark County. Permit timelines are outside our control, so we build them into the schedule honestly.
Demolition & rough-in
Containment goes up, demo happens, then framing, plumbing, electrical and any structural work — each with its inspection before anything gets closed up. This is where surprises surface, and we bring them to you immediately.
Finishes & final walkthrough
Drywall, paint, tile, flooring, cabinets, fixtures and trim. Then a punch list walked with you, final inspection scheduled by us, and a full cleanout before you get the space back.
What Affects the Price
Remodel budgets vary more than any other service we offer, because two kitchens the same size can differ by a factor of three depending on selections and whether walls move. We'd rather explain the drivers honestly than quote a number that changes later.
Talk numbers: (360) 718-6290Whether walls move
Cosmetic updates within the existing footprint are the most predictable. Moving walls — especially load-bearing ones — brings in structural work, engineering and permits.
Plumbing and electrical relocation
Keeping the sink and appliances where they are saves real money. Moving them means opening floors and walls and running new lines.
Material selections
Stock cabinets versus semi-custom, laminate versus quartz, standard tile versus large-format — selections routinely swing a kitchen budget more than the labor does.
The age and condition of the house
Older Clark County homes often reveal knob-and-tube wiring, non-standard framing, or past water damage once we open up. We flag what's likely at the estimate.
Permits and inspections
Structural changes, additions and basement conversions require permits and multiple inspections. The fees are real and the review timeline affects the schedule.
Scope of the finish work
Trim detail, built-ins, tile patterns and custom carpentry are where a project moves from renovated to genuinely finished — and where the last stretch of budget goes.
