In Oregon, we see how crucial exterior home remodeling is, especially around Bend. The constant moisture from the coast and the significant temperature swings in the high desert can take a toll on siding, roofing, and windows. Choosing materials that can handle both persistent dampness and intense sun is key. We understand that navigating local building codes and permitting processes can feel overwhelming, but we're here to make it straightforward for your project.

Common questions

What is the 30% rule for renovations?

The 30% rule is a guideline suggesting that if a renovation costs more than 30% of your home's value, it might not provide a good return on investment. For exterior work in Oregon, this often means prioritizing upgrades that offer the most protection and longevity against our varied weather.

What is the difference between remodeling and renovating a house?

Renovating usually means restoring a property to good condition, while remodeling implies changing its structure or layout. For exterior home remodeling in Oregon, this could mean updating the look and feel of your home (remodeling) or repairing existing damage to bring it back to its original state (renovating).

What not to tell your contractor?

Avoid telling your contractor about unrealistic budget expectations or making demands that aren't feasible. Transparency about your goals and budget is crucial, but it's best to discuss these openly during the initial consultation to ensure we're all on the same page for your Oregon home.

How does Oregon's climate affect exterior remodeling costs?

Oregon's climate, with its rain and temperature fluctuations, influences costs by requiring durable, weather-resistant materials. This can increase the initial investment but saves money long-term by reducing maintenance and preventing damage, especially for homes in areas like Bend.
