Hillsboro Home Remodeling & Additions
Design-build services, premium renovations, and custom additions for Hillsboro homeowners.
Home Remodeling in Hillsboro
Hillsboro’s diverse housing stock — from new construction to established neighborhoods — offers excellent remodeling opportunities. Masters Construction delivers design-build services, kitchen and bath renovations, and custom additions that elevate Hillsboro homes with quality craftsmanship.
Every project starts with integrated architectural design, so you can walk the design before construction begins.

Custom Additions & Expansions
Expand your Hillsboro home with custom additions that add space, value, and modern comfort. Our integrated design-build approach ensures seamless results from concept to completion.
Hardscapes & Outdoor Structures
Create exceptional outdoor living spaces with custom patios, pergolas, fire features, and hardscape installations designed for Hillsboro’s climate and your lifestyle. We also provide expert fence installation in Hillsboro for privacy, security, and curb appeal.
Permits in Hillsboro
Residential permits in Hillsboro are issued by the City of Hillsboro Building Department, with planning review alongside for setbacks, height and lot coverage. Interior kitchen and bath remodels that stay in the existing footprint typically clear plan review in about two to four weeks.
- Additions, structural work and second stories generally take six to twelve weeks. They need engineered drawings and planning review. Planned communities such as Orenco Station and parts of AmberGlen carry design standards and HOA review on top of the city process. Downtown properties can trigger historic considerations.
- Masters Construction manages all of it: measured drawings, construction documents, engineering coordination, submittal, responses to plan-review comments, and every inspection from footing to final. Pricing the project after design and engineering are done means the permit set and the contract describe the same building. That is how a Hillsboro remodel stays on budget.
Hillsboro neighborhoods we work in
We build in:
- Orenco Station
- Tanasbourne
- AmberGlen
- Reedville
- the Jackson School area
- Downtown Hillsboro
Orenco Station is tight-lot, design-controlled and detail-driven.
Remodels there focus on interiors, third-floor suites and rear patios rather than footprint.
Tanasbourne and AmberGlen are mostly 1990s and 2000s two-stories that remodel efficiently, with kitchen-to-family-room openings and primary-suite upgrades leading the list. Reedville and the Jackson School area have larger lots and a wider mix of ages. That makes them good candidates for room additions, garage conversions and detached accessory dwelling units.
Downtown Hillsboro holds early-century homes that need sensitive exterior work and modern systems behind original character. Every one of those contexts changes what the right addition looks like.
Housing stock in Hillsboro and what it means for remodels
Hillsboro splits cleanly into two housing stories. The larger share is 1990s through 2010s planned-community construction, which is well framed, code-current and easy to remodel. The work there is layout, finish level and indoor-outdoor connection, not repair.
The smaller but important share is 1900s through 1950s housing near downtown and along the older corridors. Those homes often carry knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply lines, shallow foundations and minimal insulation. Any real remodel should address those systems while walls are open.
Original trim profiles, window proportions and siding reveals are worth matching, because that is what keeps a downtown house looking like itself. In both cases we confirm bearing walls and panel capacity before design. The number we give you already includes the work the house actually needs.

Client Reviews
What clients say
A new room was built along with deck and patio, in place of covered deck. Chris and his team always responded and stayed on budget, went above and beyond with meeting our needs, with quality finishes on all levels. Simply couldn't be happier with the outcome. Definitely recommend them.

Finally got around to doing the guest bathroom reno after the master bath last summer and I could not be happy enough! Our previous contractor had changed states, but a friend referred Masters and our remodel was perfect from start to finish.
