Ridgefield Home Remodeling & Additions

Ridgefield is one of Southwest Washington’s fastest-growing communities, attracting homeowners to developments like Westhaven, Seven Wells Estates, and Hillhurst. Masters Construction delivers the large-scale custom additions and suburban expansions that Ridgefield homeowners want.

These are projects that match the grand scale of these properties and the expectations of their owners. Every project starts with large-lot architectural design, so you can walk the design before construction begins.

Elevate your Ridgefield home with a gourmet kitchen or spa-caliber bathroom renovation. We install custom cabinetry, premium stone surfaces, professional-grade appliances, and quality fixtures.

These are tailored to the modern aesthetic of Ridgefield’s newest communities.

Residential permits in Ridgefield are issued by the City of Ridgefield for addresses inside city limits, and by Clark County Community Development for the surrounding unincorporated land. The first thing we confirm is which office owns your parcel. Interior kitchen and bath remodels that stay inside the existing footprint usually clear review in about two to four weeks.

• Additions, structural work and second stories generally run six to twelve weeks, because they require engineered drawings and a planning review for setbacks, height and lot coverage. Parcels near Lake River, the wildlife refuge boundary and the older downtown grid can take longer when shoreline, floodplain or critical-area rules apply.
• Homes in Ridgefield’s newer planned communities often need homeowners association design approval before the city package is submitted.
• Masters Construction runs the whole permit track: existing-conditions drawings, construction documents, structural engineering coordination, the submittal, written responses to plan-review comments, and every inspection from footing through final. You never chase a correction notice or schedule an inspector yourself.
• Because we price the project after design and engineering are complete, the permit set and the contract describe the same building. That is what keeps a Ridgefield project on schedule once demolition starts.

Ridgefield is mostly new. The large majority of its housing was built between the early 2000s and the 2020s. A smaller and much older layer of farmhouses and downtown cottages dates back a century or more.

Those two groups need completely different work. Newer homes are well framed, already have modern panels and insulation, and rarely hide surprises. So the money goes into kitchens, primary suites, built-ins, basement and bonus-room finishing, and connecting the main floor to a covered patio.

Their common weakness is plan, not structure: builder-grade kitchens closed off from the great room, and primary baths that need a curbless shower and a real vanity layout.

The older farmhouses are the opposite. Expect knob-and-tube or early mixed wiring, undersized panels, galvanized supply lines, unreinforced foundations and post-and-pier crawlspaces, minimal insulation, and additions from previous decades that were framed casually.

On those houses we budget systems, foundation and abatement work first, then finishes. That way the house performs like new construction while keeping the trim profiles and window proportions that make it worth saving.
