Irvington Addition (Historic Review)

This project is the first of its kind!

Beaumont Classic Bungalow Remodel

Categories: Recent/In Progress

Homeowners Amy and Jason came to us because they wanted to add on to their vintage bungalow and expand their living space. Amy, a designer by trade, was very conscious about preserving and honoring the “old bones” of their home. After reviewing the options with them, they decided that an addition and a new front […]

Alameda Renovation

It was an honor working with these Alameda Ridge homeowners in renovating their period home! They saw the potential in restoring and upgrading their vintage house, not only to match their lifestyle but also to complement the other beautiful homes in their neighborhood. While renovating their home they bought a new toilet and had it […]

What our clients are saying:

“Our 104-year-old home in inner NE Portland was a mess. Its exterior had been covered in dingy aluminum siding for half a century, and the details that normally give an old house its personality had all been hacked away. We contacted Rick because he’d done a great job restoring another house in our neighborhood, and after going back and forth with ideas for a few months, we settled on a renovation strategy that was within our budget and seemed likely to produce good results. Rick and his guys got right to work, putting in long days and really sweating the details. Rick made a number of suggestions that initially went against our instincts, but he persuaded us to go along with him—and boy are we glad we did. In the end, he completely transformed our house, turning it from the ugly duckling of our lovely block into one of its showplaces.”

Matt & Rebecca, Homeowners

“Complete Construction was highly recommended to us by friends who’d had great success using the company for their project. After meeting and talking with owner Rick Bluhm – who made himself available to talk extensively with us – my husband and I felt very confident about choosing him for our project as well. And we’re so glad we did. He and his crew did a fantastic job on our kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom remodel! Rick guided us through the process each step of the way. His attention to detail was impressive, as is his concern for preserving and staying true to the historical elements of historical homes and neighborhoods. Rick was also accessible and patient: two hugely important qualities for a contractor to possess. We just the love how it turned out (as does everyone who sees it).”

Beth, Homeowner

“The team stayed on schedule and most importantly budget; the number we were quoted at the beginning of the project was the final price we paid at the end. I cannot recommend Rick & Complete Construction enough!”
