Cedar Mill Home Remodeling & Additions

Cedar Mill’s desirable residential areas feature homes with significant remodeling potential. Masters Construction specializes in major transformations that modernize Cedar Mill homes with high-end finishes, improved layouts, and custom details that set your property apart. Every project starts with design-build architectural team, so you can walk the design before construction begins.

When your Cedar Mill home needs more space, we deliver custom additions that blend perfectly with your existing architecture. From expanded living areas to new primary suites, every addition is engineered for structural integrity and aesthetic harmony.

Residential permits here are issued by Washington County Building Services for unincorporated addresses. Parcels annexed into Beaverton or Portland go through city review instead. The first thing we confirm is which office owns your lot.

• Interior kitchen and bath remodels inside the existing footprint typically clear review in about two to four weeks. Additions, structural work and second stories generally run six to twelve weeks, since they require engineered drawings and a planning review for setbacks, height and lot coverage. Cedar Mill has two local wrinkles.
• Properties near Cedar Mill Creek and the Peterkort area can trigger critical-area, drainage or stormwater review. The wooded lots toward Bonny Slope often bring tree regulations and slope conditions that decide where an addition can sit. Both are far cheaper to resolve during design than after a submittal comes back with corrections.
• Masters Construction handles the entire track, including measured existing-conditions drawings, construction documents, and structural engineering coordination. Where slope requires it, we add geotechnical engineering. We manage the county submittal, written responses to plan-review comments, and every inspection from footing through final.
• Because we price the project only after design and engineering are finished, the permit set and the contract describe the same building. That is what keeps a Cedar Mill project on schedule once demolition begins.

Cedar Mill spans roughly three decades, with most homes built between the 1970s and the 2000s: split-levels, two-story tract homes and later custom construction on wooded lots. That range means the scope depends heavily on the build year.

Houses from the 1970s and early 1980s usually need a service upgrade before induction cooking, a heat pump or EV charging is realistic.

They often carry thin wall insulation, aging aluminum or early double-pane windows, and original ducting worth replacing while walls are open. Homes from the 1990s and 2000s are structurally sound and mechanically adequate, so those budgets go to design. Common projects include removing the wall between the kitchen and the family room with an engineered beam.

Others include reclaiming a formal living room nobody uses, and rebuilding a primary bath around a curbless shower and a proper vanity run.

Split-levels are a Cedar Mill specialty of ours. The half-level changes and short flights that make them feel chopped up can often be reworked into a connected plan without touching the roofline.
