Why Portland Homeowners Choose Whole‑Home Renovations
Many Portland homeowners are choosing to renovate instead of move, especially in established neighborhoods where finding the “perfect” home is difficult and expensive. A whole‑home renovation lets you keep the location you love—the schools, commute, and community—while upgrading the layout, style, and performance of your house.
Typical goals for a full‑home remodel include:
-
Opening up a closed‑off main floor for better flow.
-
Modernizing kitchens and bathrooms across the home.
-
Improving energy efficiency, windows, and insulation.
-
Updating finishes to match your style and lifestyle today.
Our Focus: $100k+ Whole‑House Remodels
Flat Fee Construction focuses on major, $100k+ whole‑home projects where careful planning and proven processes matter most. These projects often touch multiple areas of the house at once, such as the kitchen, several bathrooms, main living spaces, and sometimes structural or mechanical upgrades.
While every home and design is different, many of our Portland whole‑home renovation projects fall in broad ranges like:
-
$100k–$175k: Cosmetic updates across the home with some layout tweaks.
-
$175k–$275k: Significant layout changes, kitchen and multiple baths, new flooring and trim throughout.
-
$275k+ and up: Extensive reconfiguration, higher‑end finishes, major systems upgrades, and sometimes additions.
(These are starting ranges only; an in‑home consultation is needed for a detailed plan and investment range.)
Portland‑Specific Expertise
Portland’s housing stock is unique—early‑1900s craftsman homes, mid‑century bungalows, and newer infill properties all bring different challenges and opportunities. Flat Fee Construction understands how to modernize these homes while respecting their character and working within local permitting and zoning requirements.
Examples of Portland‑specific work include:
-
Updating older plumbing and electrical to current code during a full‑home remodel.
-
Reworking small, chopped‑up rooms into open‑concept living while maintaining structural integrity.
-
Improving comfort and efficiency for our wet, cool climate with better windows, insulation, and air sealing.

How Long Does a Whole‑Home Renovation Take?
Timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the project, the age and condition of your home, and how extensive the changes are. For many $100k+ whole‑home renovations in Portland, active construction often ranges from 3 to 7 months, with design and planning time on top of that.
During your consultation, you will receive a realistic, customized timeline so you can plan for move‑out, temporary housing, or living through part of the renovation if appropriate.
Do You Need to Move Out?
For most large, $100k+ whole‑home renovations, especially when kitchens, bathrooms, and key systems are under construction at the same time, a temporary move‑out is recommended. This not only makes the work more efficient and safer, but it can also help your project finish faster.
If you hope to remain in part of the home during construction, Flat Fee Construction will review feasibility and outline phases, protections, and expectations clearly in your plan.
