Why homeowners hire DWV
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.
Membranes, pans, and substrate are installed to manufacturer specification and photographed before tile. The photo record travels with the project file and the warranty.
The same crews, project after project. The tile work on DWV bathrooms is the detail homeowners single out most often in reviews.
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.
DWV provided insightful ideas to bring our vision to life, helping to steer the remodel design with cost effective strategies. Don provided clear and transparent pricing that remained constant throughout the entire remodel. The entire construction from start to finished lasted 4 months, roughly in line with initial estimates. Built two absolutely gorgeous rooms in our home.
Don's expertise, commitment to our project, attention to detail, and overall ease to work with truly made our kitchen and bathroom makeover a seamless and enjoyable experience. We are absolutely thrilled with the final results. If you are looking for a licensed contractor who delivers exceptional quality and service, look no further than DWV Construction.
Selected work








What is included
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.

From estimate to closeout
Same protocol on every engagement. Schedule shared before work begins, milestones communicated in writing.
Don walks the room with you, checks plumbing, subfloor, and ventilation, and tells you what's possible. Written scope summary within five business days.
You review the layout in 3D, then pick tile, fixtures, vanity, glass, and hardware with Don — allowances in writing for anything still open.
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.
The city signs off, the punch list gets closed, and you get the written warranty plus every fixture document in one packet.

FAQ
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.

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.
