General Restoration
General Restoration
For aging homes and complicated repairs, we define scope clearly and restore structure and finishes with respect for the original feel.
Serving Oregon & Washington. Licensed, insured, and detail-driven from first call to final walkthrough.
Scope
What We Help With
Restoration is part stabilization, part rebuild. These are common scope items we plan and execute.
- Assessment of current conditions and repair priorities
- Structural and carpentry repairs as scoped
- Finish restoration or replacement (trim, walls, flooring as needed)
- Window/door trim and sealing details
- Paint and surface restoration
- Coordination of trades when required (electrical/plumbing)
- Documentation and clear scope communication
- Punch list and final detail completion
Decisions
Popular Choices
High-level options you can decide without committing to brands or exact finishes.
- Repair and preserve vs. replace for a refreshed finish
- Match existing character vs. modernize selectively
- Flooring: refinish vs. patch/blend vs. replace in zone
- Trim: repair/refinish vs. replacement for consistency
- Scope: targeted fixes vs. broader restoration for a cohesive result
Planning
Timeline & Cost Drivers
Restoration schedules can change based on dry-out, inspections, and scope discovery. We keep you informed.
Typical Timeline
2–12+ weeks (typical), depending on scope discovery
Every project is different. Here are the most common factors that affect schedule:
- Scope discovery after opening surfaces (older homes)
- Structural repair complexity
- Matching/finish strategy decisions
- Trade coordination requirements
- Material lead times for specialty items
Cost Guidance
Restoration costs vary based on the unknowns discovered during repair work and the finish strategy you choose (match vs. broader refresh). We’ll keep scope and options clear.
What affects cost:
- Extent of structural repair needed
- Finish matching complexity (trim, floors, walls)
- Amount of demolition and rebuild required
- Trade coordination (electrical/plumbing as needed)
- Specialty materials or character details
- Broader refresh scope vs. targeted repairs

Detail + handoff
We finish punch details so the space feels complete, not “almost there.”
FAQ
Questions We Hear Often
Can you preserve the original character? +
Yes, when feasible. We’ll discuss what can be preserved and what’s better replaced for durability and a clean finish.
What if you discover more issues as you open things up? +
We document discoveries and discuss options clearly before proceeding, so scope stays transparent.
Do you handle older homes? +
Yes. Older homes often require more discovery and careful sequencing, which we plan for in scope and schedule.
Do you repair structural issues? +
Depending on scope, yes. We’ll assess what’s needed and document options clearly so you can make the right decision.
How do you approach finish matching? +
We aim to match where it will look clean. When exact matches aren’t feasible, we’ll recommend a cohesive refresh strategy.
