Why Choose a Whole Home Remodel?

Seamless Style Across Every Room

Instead of piecemeal updates, a whole home remodel ensures your kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas all share a unified design. No mismatched finishes or awkward transitions, just a polished, intentional look.

Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment

Renovating everything at once minimizes repeat permitting fees, reduces labor mobilization costs, and can significantly increase property value in hot markets like Portland’s Pearl District or Vancouver’s downtown waterfront.

Future-Proofing & Energy Efficiency

Older Pacific Northwest homes often have dated plumbing, wiring, or insulation. A comprehensive remodel allows us to modernize these systems for energy savings, essential for our rainy winters and mild summers.

Our Whole Home Remodeling Process

1) Initial Home Whole Home Remodel Consultation & Vision Planning

We start with a free, no-pressure consultation at your home, whether you’re near Mt. Tabor, downtown Vancouver, or in Camas. Together, we’ll explore your goals, lifestyle needs, and budget.

2) Home Design & 3D Renderings

Using state-of-the-art design tools, we provide 3D renderings so you can “walk through” your new home virtually before construction begins. We also offer a collaborative design-build process that utilizes a client dashboard and online idea boards with specific products and costs, allowing you to visualize your entire home renovation with the particular brand finishes you've chosen.

3) Permitting & City Regulations

Navigating the Portland Bureau of Development Services or Vancouver’s Community Development Department permitting can be complex. We handle all paperwork, building codes, and inspections to keep your project on track. If significant changes are being made to your home, such as relocating walls, installing new water or light fixtures, or adding new doors, windows, or a home addition, building plans will be required. We offer professional design and building plan services so that you can focus on creating your dream home.

4) Construction & Project Management

Your dedicated project manager coordinates skilled trades, ensuring on-time and on-budget work. We protect your property with dust barriers and daily clean-ups.

5) Final Walk-Through & Warranty

Before we hand over your keys, we perform a thorough walk-through to confirm every detail meets our high standards. Our industry-leading warranty backs all work.

Sustainability & PNW-Friendly Materials

We’re proud to incorporate eco-friendly practices:

  • FSC-Certified Lumber and reclaimed wood from Portland salvage yards.

  • Low-VOC Paints to keep indoor air healthy.

  • Energy-Efficient HVAC and Windows for rainy winters and mild summers.

  • Local Sourcing: Reducing transportation emissions by working with Portland and Vancouver suppliers.

Choosing the Right Contractor in Portland or Vancouver

  • Check Licensing & Insurance: Amplified Renovations is licensed in Oregon and Washington.

  • Look for Local Experience: We understand Portland’s historic neighborhoods and Vancouver’s growth areas.

  • Ask About Communication: Our dedicated project managers provide weekly updates and transparent pricing.

Popular Upgrades in Portland & Vancouver Whole Home Remodels

A whole home remodeling project offers endless opportunities to reimagine every corner of your house. Some of the most sought-after upgrades in the Portland metro and Vancouver area include:

Open-Concept Kitchens

Removing walls between kitchens and living areas creates brighter, larger spaces perfect for entertaining. We often reconfigure floor plans in Sellwood or Salmon Creek homes to improve traffic flow while maintaining architectural character. Modern finishes, custom cabinetry, and high-efficiency appliances keep energy bills low during Oregon’s wet winters.

ADU Additions or Conversions

Portland’s ADU-friendly building codes make accessory dwelling units ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. We’ve converted basements in Camas into separate apartments and added backyard ADUs near Forest Park.

Energy-Efficient Windows & Insulation

Replacing single-pane windows with double- or triple-pane options reduces drafts and noise. Adding spray-foam or blown-in insulation makes homes near Vancouver Lake or Mt. Scott more comfortable year-round, especially during chilly evenings or damp spring days.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Covered patios, decks, or sunrooms bring the outdoors in. Many Portland homeowners are inspired by Forest Park or Mt. Tabor views, while Vancouver clients love spaces that capture sunsets over the Columbia River Gorge.

Spa-Like Bathrooms

From heated floors to frameless glass showers and freestanding tubs, our bathroom remodels rival upscale resorts. We’ve updated bathrooms in St. Johns cottages and Ridgefield farmhouses to include rainfall showerheads, custom tilework, and upgraded plumbing and electrical work.

Basement Finishing & Family Rooms

Transform damp, underused basements in Gresham or Hazel Dell into cozy family rooms, home theaters, or workout studios. Proper waterproofing and electrical and plumbing work ensure your finished space is safe and durable.

Bedroom Upgrades & Walk-In Closets

Expanding master suites or adding closets can dramatically improve comfort and storage. Homes in the Alberta Arts District often benefit from reconfigured bedrooms or upstairs dormer additions.

Home Additions & Structural Changes

If you love your neighborhood but need more space, a thoughtfully planned addition, such as a bonus room or expanded kitchen, can add significant value. We’ve completed house remodeling projects in Pearl District condos and Camas subdivisions where growing families needed more square footage.

Design-Build Efficiency

As a design-build firm, Amplified Renovations manages every phase, from concept to construction, saving time, minimizing surprises, and keeping remodel cost within your average cost expectations.

Cost Factors & Budget Planning for Whole Home Remodels

Price Per Square Foot by Home Size

Typical Portland/Vancouver remodels fall between $65–$95 per square foot, depending on finishes and complexity.

Home Size & Features Approx. Price Range (per sq ft) Notes
1–2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1 kitchen (≤1,200 sq ft) $80–$95 Ideal for small bungalows or condos.
3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1 kitchen (1,500–2,000) $70–$85 Standard Portland family homes in areas like Sellwood or Hazel Dell.
4+ bedrooms, 3 baths, 1 kitchen (2,200–3,000) $65–$80 Larger Laurelhurst or Camas properties with more custom work.
Luxury finishes or complex structural changes Add 15–20% to the price per square foot, based on size of remodel Historic homes or high-end builds near the Pearl District or Vancouver Waterfront.

Other Whole Home Remodel Budget Considerations

  • Permitting fees: Vary between Multnomah County and Clark County.

  • Material selections: Countertop material (e.g., quartz vs. granite), custom cabinetry, or premium flooring.

  • Temporary housing: For extensive remodels, you may need to relocate for 1–2 months.

Whole Home Remodeling: Frequently Asked Questions

  • Although we are splitting hairs here, we have been asked this question before and want to clarify. In short, these are both functionally the same thing, and these terms are frequently used interchangeably. However, they can technically imply slightly different scopes of work per definition:

    • Whole Home Remodel: Typically involves altering the floor plan, moving walls, expanding kitchens, finishing basements, and upgrading electrical wiring or plumbing and electrical work. This is ideal for older Laurelhurst or Minnehaha homes where layout changes dramatically improve function.

    • Whole Home Renovation: Generally focuses on updating finishes, like new flooring, paint, or cabinetry, without significant structural changes. Think of freshening up your Hazel Dell ranch or swapping fixtures in a St. Johns bungalow.

    Please feel free to use either term! We are happy to help with both home renovations and home remodels!

  • Our whole-home remodeling construction process typically takes 4-8 weeks, from demolition to final walk-through, depending on the project's size and complexity.  However, permits for major projects can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks, sometimes longer. The primary factors here are the complexity of the changes we are making and the turnaround time of your local building permit office. Design usually takes around 1 to 4 weeks as well.

    Here are our estimated timelines from design to permits and construction:

    • On the shorter end of the timeline, with no permits being pulled and a relatively quick design process, a whole-home renovation can take anywhere from 5 to 9 weeks (1-2 weeks for design and 4-6 weeks for construction). 

    For more complex projects that require permits and more extensive design, you should plan on 8-14 weeks (this estimate accounts for ~2 weeks for design, 4-6 weeks for permitting, and 6-8 weeks for construction). Again, the permit process is the most significant variable in the timeline here.

  • For extensive remodels, temporary housing is recommended for safety and comfort.

  • Permits typically include building, electrical, plumbing, and sometimes mechanical. We handle all applications with Vancouver’s Community Development Department.

  • Absolutely. Restoring Craftsman, Tudor, or mid-century homes near Mt. Tabor or the Alberta Arts District can significantly boost value and modern livability.

  • The 30% rule suggests you should budget around 30% of your home’s value for a full remodel. In competitive markets like Vancouver and Portland, this can be a helpful general idea when planning a home renovation cost.
