On materials · A note from the field
Built to outlast the second mortgage.
Every DWV project is specified for a 20-year service life. Cabinetry from local Portland fabricators. Tile and stone sourced at the slab yard with the homeowner present. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC executed by long-tenured trade partners to current code.
Featured project
Whole-home modernization in Bethany. New systems, kitchen, baths, and finishes throughout.

Kitchen — white cabinetry, teal island, exposed beam ceiling.

FAQ
Most kitchen renovations finish within six to ten weeks of demolition. Cabinetry lead time is typically the largest schedule variable; flexibility on door style usually reduces total duration by two to three weeks. Each project ships with a milestone-based schedule established before construction begins.

Milwaukie's residential stock is heavily weighted toward Craftsman bungalow and mid-century construction. The bones are typically sound; the systems — electrical, plumbing, insulation — are typically what require attention. DWV's whole-home and kitchen-bath work in Milwaukie reflects that pattern.

SE Portland is the densest pocket of century-old bungalow stock in the metro. DWV has been renovating these homes — Hawthorne, Sellwood, Mt Tabor, Laurelhurst, Richmond, Brooklyn — weekly for the firm's full 17-year history. The pattern is familiar.
