Remodels & Additions
The depth of our remodeling experience reflects the richness of Portland’s architectural landscape. Over the past 30 years, Otis has been trusted to remodel or add onto more than 150 homes – of nearly every style and era in the region.
Project sizes range from kitchen remodels to whole-house makeovers.
Remodeling draws on all the disciplines of new construction, but also demands the creativity to solve unforeseen conditions and the technical skills to seamlessly integrate new materials, systems, and technologies into existing structures. It requires a level discretion and respect for the homeowner’s schedule, security, and living environment that new home builders rarely have to consider.
Otis is especially suited to remodeling. Our project managers, carpenters, and subcontractors have deep experience working in both unoccupied and occupied homes—including our own—which informs how we plan, schedule, and manage each phase of remodel construction.
What to Expect
We manage remodels with transparency, thoughtful communication, and meticulous attention to detail.
Regular meetings with homeowners and their design teams keep decisions timely and ensure that issues are resolved before they affect progress, giving clients clear visibility and control over scope, cost, and schedule.
At project closeout, Otis provides a digital Home Owner’s Manual documenting building systems, products, finishes, maintenance recommendations, and warranty information. And for homeowners seeking ongoing support, our Home Maintenance Division provides continued care by the very team who built the home, ensuring it is maintained with the same expertise and attention to detail.
For homeowners who want continued support, our Home Maintenance Division offers ongoing care—ensuring it is maintained with the expertise and attention to detail it was built with.
For clients seeking design support, we are happy to recommend architects, interior designers, and consultants suited to the project’s scope and character.
