Why homeowners hire DWV

What comes with every DWV project.

Owner-led from start to finish

The owner who walks the property at the assessment manages the project through closeout. One contact from the first site walk to the final inspection.

Waterproofing done to spec — and documented

Membranes, pans, and substrate are installed to manufacturer specification and photographed before tile. The photo record travels with the project file and the warranty.

Tile setters with a decade of shared work

The same crews, project after project. The tile work on DWV bathrooms is the detail homeowners single out most often in reviews.

Workmanship warranty in writing

A one-year workmanship warranty is delivered at project closeout. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures are transferred and documented at the same time.

Don gave an 8-week estimate from demo to finishing touches. He walked us through each step of planning, including meeting at supply distributors. Don was always present at each phase. Everyone was professional, polite and skilled. We chose to continue living in our home during the project — Don made this as comfortable as possible. In the end our project was completed ahead of schedule, on budget, and we are completely pleased.

What is included

One contract. Every trade. Don on site.

Don builds bathrooms across the Portland Metro — tub-to-shower conversions, hall-bath updates, and full primary suites — and runs waterproofing, tile, plumbing, and finish himself from the first site walk to the final inspection.

Freestanding soaking tub in a bay of windows
  • Layout and design

    Design starts with how your household uses the room — morning traffic, storage, accessibility. Don drafts the layout in-house with a 3D review before demo day; if you already have a designer, he builds to their drawings.

  • Waterproofing and substrate

    Behind the tile is where a bathroom is won. Don sets pans, membranes, and backer to manufacturer spec and photographs every square foot before tile goes on — you keep the record of what's behind your wall.

  • Tile and stone

    Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone set by the tile crews Don has run for over a decade. You approve the dry-fit layout before the first cut.

  • Showers, tubs, and conversions

    Curbless walk-ins, frameless glass, soaking tubs, and tub-to-shower conversions. Aging-in-place details — grab-bar blocking, lever fixtures, curbless entries — get built in at rough-in, where they belong.

  • Finish and closeout

    Vanities, lighting, ventilation, and hardware set, leveled, and adjusted. Don closes the punch list with you and hands over a one-year workmanship warranty in writing.

From estimate to closeout

How the project runs.

Same protocol on every engagement. Schedule shared before work begins, milestones communicated in writing.

  1. Site assessment

    Don walks the room with you, checks plumbing, subfloor, and ventilation, and tells you what's possible. Written scope summary within five business days.

  2. Design and selections

    You review the layout in 3D, then pick tile, fixtures, vanity, glass, and hardware with Don — allowances in writing for anything still open.

  3. Construction

    Demo, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, finish — sequenced tight. Pan and membrane work gets inspected and photographed before close-up, and Don walks the job daily.

  4. Closeout

    The city signs off, the punch list gets closed, and you get the written warranty plus every fixture document in one packet.

    “We recently discovered that we had a water leak in the tiles of our front deck which overlies our garage that was resulting in damage to the underlying structures as well as the siding. We needed to replace some of the underlying support as well as the waterproof membrane, the tile and the siding as well as paint the new siding. We got several bids but the approach proposed by Don Vedaa and Mark Stumpf made the most sense and their price was competitive. We were very impressed and pleased with the attention to detail and genuine concern that things be done right. They really went the extra mile, as if it were their own house they were working on. Communication was good throughout the project and the people who did the work were very thoughtful of our neighbors and very pleasant to have around. The damage turned out to be more extensive than originally thought so the project took a bit longer than anticipated but the cost estimate was accurate. The overall cost turned out to be over the original estimate also but that was because we added new windows, new lights, and requested a change in the paint, all things that were not included in the original proposal. We are very pleased with the end result and are happy we chose to go with DWV Construction. We recommend them highly.”

    “I recently had the good fortune of having DWV Construction recommended to me for a renovation of a pool and several related projects including fencing, landscape, electrical work, concrete deck replacement, along with other miscellaneous tasks. Everything was completed beyond my expectations and I am thrilled with the results! Don is very observant, helpful, knowledgable, professional and kind. I am very grateful for all he has done!”

    “After losing our GC for an extensive remodel, we interviewed 12 additional GCs and DWV was in our top 2 for consideration. What propelled DWV to the top was their professionalism, thoroughness, and acute detail to ensure they provided an accurate quote. Don was communicative, responsive, and provided solid advisement throughout. DWV maintains your best interest at all times.”

  • Connie + Jeff (mollyzmum)

    “Don was the third contractor to inspect our project. He immediately noticed the floor of the room was slightly sloped, possibly indicating a costly structural problem. This important detail was completely missed by the other two contractors. Don suggested a creative solution, fixing the problem while saving us a huge amount of money. We never felt uncomfortable with people working inside or outside our home. We are now using DWV to replace our roof and complete another small repair. If you want it done right, call Don. You won't be sorry.”

  • Kevin Howells

    March 2023

    “We had nearly our entire first floor remodeled: kitchen, all new floors, bathroom updates, ceiling vaulted, etc. We had the exterior of our home redone: new siding, insulation, windows and doors. We chose Don because he has the best communication out of all of the contractors we've worked with. As of writing this review, I could probably call Don right now and have him over in a couple of hours. Don also hires great people — Marc, Vaughn, Brad, Ovi, Dylan, Ken — all awesome at what they do. We came in under budget on the initial quote.”

  • Gemma Moreau

    “We are thrilled we chose Don for our 1965 home remodel. He expertly handled a challenging layout, completed the work on time, and kept us within budget. Communication was excellent, and his experience made the process smooth. Special thanks to Marc and his team — their dedication is unmatched, and the tile work was exceptional.”

  • Amelia Hunt

    “We reached out to Don after his business appeared on a Lead Paint Abatement list for the Portland area. We had a pretty complex garage demo and rebuild project of which multiple contractors had already dropped the ball. Don and all of his contractors were respectful, timely, professional and friendly. He did regular check ins, clearly communicated at each step, and paid great attention to the small details. We now have a beautiful garage and are extremely happy.”

    “We did a full remodel on a 1952 home with a challenging layout. All work was completed in a timely manner, and we stayed within the original budget. Don's experience was key in navigating the difficulties we faced. We trusted him from day one. The work Marc and his team did is simply the best — the tile work in particular was outstanding.”

    “DWV is a small company that is able to create magnificent living spaces. Don Vedaa is a fine contractor and is on the job site daily. We converted four 100-year-old rooms in an old part of our house to a much more commodious, welcoming, and useful open space. They now blend seamlessly with the newer section, without losing the sense of a vintage domicile. We strongly recommend DWV for small to midsized domestic or business remodels, rebuilds, or new structures.”

    “Don helped us from start to finish on creating our ice cream shop. He answered every question along the way, helped with creative problem solving and assembled a crew of trustworthy and skilled contractors in tons of fields. He even helped us after we were done with two small problems and had a person to help fix it same day both times.”

    “Don Vedaa was our contractor for the huge remodel and addition on our 1924 Portland bungalow. The work consisted of adding an extension for a bedroom/bath, new kitchen and laundry. Along with these, a dining room was created, existing bathroom remodeled, topped off with a new roof and paint all around. From the very beginning Don was responsive and worked hard to get us the information needed. The quality of the workmanship and materials was excellent.”

  • Kevin Dee

    May 2021

    “When Don started work my home was completely gutted down to the studs. He transformed my derelict structure into a beautiful home, from floor to ceiling and everything in between. On top of doing A+ work he is a great communicator and listener — I found it very easy to bounce ideas off of him. With his good communication comes efficiency and punctuality. He creates a timeline and amazingly sticks to it.”

  • Chris S

    May 2021

    “Don and team recently wrapped up a large demo to stud remodel for us. Don runs his jobs at a very high level of professionalism and expects the same from any subs he has come in. Outstanding workmanship, quality, and communication throughout the entire process while totally transforming our space into something amazing and unique to us.”

  • Patricia M.

    “DWV Construction is excellent. They sets itself apart from other contractors in several ways — superb communication, Don provides creative solutions that won't blow your budget, and work done on time. They did a full bathroom remodel on my 1930's home that had a few challenges. I'm hiring Don's team to remodel another bathroom and build out my basement.”

  • Barb Gossack

    May 2021

    “DWV Construction remodeled my entire kitchen after a water leak in 2020 and the experience was smooth from start to finish. Don was easy to work with, helped me with decisions and worked with my insurance company. As the general contractor he coordinated and scheduled all the other contractors — for tear down, painting, flooring, plumbing, electrical, cabinet/counter installing and cleaning. From tear down to completion was only about 4 weeks.”

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A focused hall-bath refresh or tub-to-shower conversion typically runs three to four weeks; a full primary-bath renovation runs four to six. The main variables are tile scope and glass lead time — custom frameless glass is measured after tile and takes one to two weeks to fabricate.
