“I want you all to know what a stunning, gorgeous, amazing bathroom we now have in our home. The design was INSPIRED. Whenever I hear happy homeowners on design shows say, ‘It’s exactly what I wanted…’ I think, ‘No, it wasn’t. You didn’t have the skills to know you wanted that design!’ The designer gets that credit. I didn’t have the skills to dream up this design. YOU DID.”
— Tina, TRG Homeowner
The difference between a remodel that stays on budget and one that doesn’t usually comes down to how much was decided before construction started.
Most architectural plans come in 30–100% over budget — because the contractor wasn’t in the room when decisions were being made.
We have virtually zero change orders because our two-phase design process eliminates the unknowns that cause costs to creep.
You get 100+ years of combined team experience guiding every design decision from concept to construction.
It’s not just about picking finishes — it’s about planning your space so it works beautifully for the way you live.
We rethink how your space flows so every square foot does more — and the way you move through your home feels natural.
Our in-house designer creates 3D renderings, floor plans, and mood boards so you can walk through your future home visually before decisions are locked in — no imagination required.
From tile and cabinetry to every fixture, finish, and hardware detail, we guide you through every choice so your home feels cohesive and timeless, with everything decided before construction begins.

Our before-and-after project photos tell the full story — the vision, the process, and the finished home.
A detailed floor plan turns an abstract idea into something real and buildable. When you can see the layout on paper (the traffic flow, the proportions, the light), you make better decisions before anything is built.
Photorealistic 3D renderings and mood boards show you exactly what your finished space will look like, the colors, the materials, and the layout, so you know you'll love it.
Every remodel we work on has a story behind it. Read about some of the spaces our team has designed and built right here in the Portland area.
We eliminate the overwhelm with a clear, step-by-step process designed to get every detail right before construction.
We measure your space, gather 2 to 4 layout options, and present conceptual drawings, renderings, and mood boards so you can explore possibilities before committing to a direction.
We narrow in on your chosen direction and go deep: material shopping, specific finish selections, cabinetry and tile layouts, electrical plans, and a full project palette, so nothing is left undefined.
By the end of the design phase, you’ll have a detailed 20 to 40-page specification set, final renderings, and a fixed-price construction contract — a real number you can count on.
Construction begins only when every material is on hand, and every decision has been made. Your dedicated Project Director sees it through from the first day to the final walkthrough.
Yes, and here’s why that’s actually a good thing. The design phase is where we do the hard work of getting every detail right before construction begins. A retainer kicks off the process, and it’s fully credited back to your construction contract when you move forward with the build. Think of it as the investment that protects every remodel dollar.
Absolutely. Most of our clients come to us with inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, or a general sense of what they love. Our job is to take what you’re envisioning and help you refine it, figure out what’s feasible, and turn it into a plan that actually works for your home and your life.
During Phase 1, we typically present 2 to 4 layout options with conceptual drawings and renderings. This gives you several choices to respond to rather than just one direction to approve or reject. It’s one of the parts of our process clients appreciate most.
Quite a bit. You’ll receive conceptual drawings, 3D renderings, mood boards, floor plans, cabinetry and tile layouts, electrical plans, a project palette, a full schedule of finishes, and a detailed specification set. You’ll have everything needed to move into construction with complete confidence.
It varies by project scope, but most clients move through both design phases over the course of several weeks. We work at a pace that gives you time to feel great about every decision — not rushed, but not dragging either.
The best part of our process? You'll know exactly what your home will look like before construction begins.
