At Willamette Valley Construction & Design, we believe remodeling should feel organized — not overwhelming. Our process is designed to align expectations early, minimize surprises, and deliver high-quality results from start to finish.
Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, deck rebuild, or full home transformation, here’s how we approach every project.

Every project begins with an in-home consultation.
During this visit, we:
• Listen to your goals and priorities
• Review the existing space
• Discuss realistic budget ranges
• Evaluate structural or layout considerations
• Answer questions about timeline and scope
Our focus is alignment. If something doesn’t make sense structurally or financially, we’ll explain why and suggest smarter alternatives.
No pressure. Just clarity.

Before design decisions move forward, we ensure your project scope matches your budget expectations.
This step helps prevent:
• Designing beyond budget
• Unexpected cost increases
• Misaligned expectations
Clear conversations early lead to smoother projects later.

A successful remodel is built on preparation.
During planning, we may assist with:
• Layout refinement
• Material and finish selection
• Fixture coordination
• Product recommendations based on durability and value
• Permit requirements (if applicable)
Well-planned projects move faster, reduce stress, and minimize mid-project changes.

You’ll receive a written proposal outlining:
• Clear scope of work
• Materials included
• What is excluded
• Estimated timeline
• Total project investment
We prioritize transparency so you understand exactly what’s included before construction begins.
If adjustments are needed, we address them upfront.

Before demolition starts, we handle the logistics that keep projects organized:
• Scheduling your project
• Ordering materials and tracking lead times
• Coordinating subcontractors
• Securing permits (when required)
• Protecting surrounding areas before work begins
This preparation stage is what prevents delays and jobsite confusion.

During construction, organization and communication matter.
You can expect:
• Quality craftsmanship
• Professional job site management
• Respect for your home
• Clean and controlled workflow
• Clear updates throughout the process
If changes arise, they are discussed and approved before moving forward.
No surprises. No disappearing. Just structured execution.

Before project completion, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure:
• Work matches agreed scope
• Finishes meet expectations
• Any punch list items are addressed
We stand behind our craftsmanship with a workmanship warranty because remodeling should be built to last.
Remodeling projects become stressful when:
• Budget isn’t aligned early
• Scope isn’t clearly defined
• Planning is rushed
• Communication breaks down
Our structured approach is designed to prevent those issues and deliver a finished product you can feel confident in.
Every remodel is different, but here’s a general idea of how timelines typically break down.
1–3 weeks (varies by scope)
Initial meeting, scope alignment, selections, and proposal finalization.
2–6 weeks (material dependent)
Materials are ordered and coordinated. Permits are secured if required. Scheduling is finalized.
Kitchen Remodel: 4–8 weeks
Bathroom Remodel: 2–5 weeks
Deck Remodel: 1–3 weeks
Full Home Remodel: Varies significantly based on scope.
Timelines depend on complexity, product lead times, and change requests.
Our goal is not just speed — it’s organized, quality execution.
