Remodeling
Remodeling & Reconstruction in Vancouver, WA & Portland Metro.
From kitchen and bath remodels to whole-house renovations and additions — built by a crew that already meets insurance-grade documentation standards every day.
After we put a property back together, many clients keep us on for the renovation they actually want. Ona Restoration's remodeling division handles full kitchen and bath renovations, whole-house remodels, structural additions, basement and ADU build-outs, and custom millwork — all delivered with the same crew, the same documentation discipline, and the same IICRC-grade workmanship as our restoration projects.
What we build
Full kitchen renovations — cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting, electrical, plumbing relocation. Bathroom remodels from shower-only refresh to full gut-and-replace including curbless wet rooms and steam showers. Whole-house renovations including layout reconfiguration, structural openings, and finish-package upgrades. Basement and attic build-outs, ADU and garage conversions, and second-story additions.
Custom millwork — built-ins, paneling, wainscoting, libraries, integrated banquettes, mantels, closet systems. Hardwood, stone, and large-format tile installation. Trade-grade electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work coordinated under one general contractor.
Why our restoration roots matter
Restoration contractors know how houses fail. We see what's behind the drywall every week — the rotted sill plates, the undersized headers, the abandoned shut-offs, the surprises that turn a 6-week remodel into 16. That knowledge means we scope projects with fewer change orders and fewer end-of-project surprises than firms that only do new finish work.
We document every project the way an insurance adjuster expects — measurements, daily progress photos, a written scope, and weekly client updates. It's overkill for most remodels, and it's exactly why our clients keep us on for everything after the first restoration job.
Upgrades during a restoration claim
When insurance is rebuilding a damaged room, you can often upgrade finishes and pay only the difference — the carrier pays for like-kind replacement, you pay the betterment delta. This is the cleanest way to fund a kitchen or bath upgrade and we handle the documentation so the carrier-paid portion and the owner-paid portion are tracked separately from day one.
Process
How the job runs.
01
Consultation & scope
In-home consultation, scope outline, photo documentation, and an honest preliminary budget range before any drawings start.
02
Design & specifications
Drawings, finish selections, fixture and appliance specifications, and a fixed-scope written agreement before demolition.
03
Permitting & pre-construction
Permits pulled where required (Vancouver, WA / Portland metro), subs scheduled, materials ordered with lead-time tracked weekly.
04
Build
Demolition, framing, MEP rough-in, drywall, finish carpentry, paint, and final installations. Weekly progress photos and client check-ins.
05
Walkthrough & punch list
Final walkthrough with the client, documented punch list, and warranty issued on completion.
Warning signs
When to call.
Early action saves money and prevents permanent damage. If any of these apply, call us.
- Your kitchen or bath is original to the house and showing wear
- Layout no longer fits how you actually live in the space
- You're considering an addition, ADU, or basement build-out
- Insurance is rebuilding a damaged room and you'd like to upgrade
- You've inherited or purchased a property that needs full renovation
- Multiple subs gave you wildly different timelines — you want one accountable contractor

FAQ
Remodeling — FAQ
Do you take on remodels without a prior restoration project?
Yes. Remodeling and reconstruction is a full division — clients come to us directly for new renovations as often as they come to us after a loss. Restoration credentials apply the same craftsmanship discipline either way.
Can I upgrade finishes during an insurance claim?
Yes — this is called betterment. The carrier pays for like-kind replacement of the damaged finishes, and you pay only the difference for the upgrade. We document the carrier-paid scope and the owner-paid overage separately so the math is clean for everyone.
What's the timeline for a full kitchen remodel?
Most full kitchen renovations run 8–12 weeks from demolition to final install once permits are in hand. Long-lead items (custom cabinetry, specialty stone, imported tile) can extend that — we surface the critical path at design stage so you know what's driving the schedule.
Do you handle architectural drawings and permits?
For non-structural remodels (kitchens, baths, layout changes within existing walls) we handle drawings in-house. For additions, structural changes, and projects requiring engineered drawings, we partner with licensed architects and structural engineers and manage the permit process end-to-end.
Are you licensed for new construction in both WA and OR?
In Washington, yes — contractor registration ONARER*748K8, verifiable at secure.lni.wa.gov/verify, covering restoration and reconstruction alike. Our Oregon CCB registration is pending and we will publish the number the day it issues.
