Why Choose Local Kitchen Remodelers in Portland?

At Amplified Renovations, we specialize in transforming Portland kitchens into functional, beautiful spaces designed for modern living while honoring the city’s unique character. From the bungalows of Sellwood to the mid-century homes in Eastmoreland and the craftsmen homes throughout NE Portland neighborhoods like Alemda, Woodlawn, and Concordia, we understand how to blend contemporary style with Portland’s diverse architectural heritage. With deep knowledge of local building codes and permitting requirements, our team ensures a seamless remodeling process from start to finish.

Kitchen remodeling in Portland isn’t one-size-fits-all. Many homes here were built between the 1920s and 1970s, and each era comes with its own design challenges and opportunities. We’re experienced in:

  • Updating older wiring and plumbing to meet City of Portland building codes.

  • Preserving original woodwork, tile, and layouts in historic homes in Laurelhurst and Irvington.

  • Opening up compartmentalized floor plans in traditional Craftsman-style bungalows.

  • Designing efficient, stylish kitchens in smaller condos and ADUs across downtown and Southeast Portland.

Because we live and work here, we know what it takes to remodel kitchens that not only look stunning but also meet Portland’s permitting and energy-efficiency standards.

Portland Kitchen Remodeling Is Unique

As a kitchen remodeling contractor in Portland, we’ve seen it all. From narrow galley kitchens in a 1906 Craftsman in Woodlawn to a peninsula kitchen near SE Division Street, each Portland home offers a unique character and its own set of challenges. 

Since most homes that we work on in Portland are older, oftentimes homeowners strive to retain as much of the historic style of the home as possible. Kitchen design features like stained wood trim, rustic cabinet hardware, and original hardwood floors are all common components of a kitchen that we can help you retain or build off of in your new kitchen. 

Our kitchen remodeling team has worked on homes all across the Portland-Metro area. Moreover, our team is comprised of homeowners from across Portland and Vancouver; we respect your budget, design preferences, and the historic nature of the majority of the homes we work on. From design to the final walk-through, we are here to provide you with honest, transparent, and high-quality kitchen remodeling services.

Navigating Permits and Building Codes in Portland

Kitchen remodeling in Portland isn’t just about design choices;  it’s also about meeting the city’s permitting and code requirements. Many of our projects involve homes built before 1950, which often necessitate addressing outdated wiring, plumbing, or structural components. The City of Portland requires permits for most remodels that involve electrical, plumbing, or layout changes, and inspections can add time if not managed properly.

At Amplified Renovations, we handle the permitting process on your behalf and work directly with Portland inspectors to keep your project moving. Whether it’s upgrading knob-and-tube wiring in a bungalow near Alberta Arts District or ensuring proper venting in a Pearl District condo, our team understands the local codes that protect your investment. This expertise helps prevent costly delays and ensures your kitchen remodel passes final inspection the first time.
