X-Factor Upgrades

Location: Portland, OR

Stay and renovate or move?

Our homeowners considered buying a new home, but their existing neighborhood won out. The owners craved a sophisticated look and invested in a major renovation to transform their 1999 builder-grade home. The goal was to reflect their current style and flow better from room to room. The family plans to enjoy the space for years to come.

We enjoyed the hands-off feeling after the design process was complete. It felt like we handed over control of our home to Mountainwood Homes, and they had it all under control. It was such a great feeling to know that we didn't have to carry the burden of the project on our shoulders.
