Tigard Home Remodeling & Additions

Tigard homeowners — from the slopes of Bull Mountain to the modern homes of River Terrace — trust Masters Construction for expert remodeling services. We deliver comprehensive renovations, from kitchen and bath upgrades to whole-home transformations, with the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define our second-generation building legacy.

Bull Mountain’s hillside properties and River Terrace’s contemporary designs each demand specialized expertise we’re proud to deliver. Every project starts with 3D design previews and architectural drawings, so you can walk the design before construction begins.

Expand your Tigard home with custom additions engineered for Bull Mountain’s slopes. We handle hillside structural challenges, retaining walls, and complex framing to create additions that enhance your home’s footprint and value. River Terrace homeowners benefit from our expertise in modern additions that complement the community’s contemporary aesthetic.

Residential permits in Tigard are issued by the City of Tigard Building Division. Planning review runs alongside the building review for anything that affects setbacks, height, lot coverage or trees. Interior kitchen and bath remodels that stay inside 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, because they need engineered drawings and a planning review. Bull Mountain and River Terrace parcels can take longer when slope, stormwater or planned-community standards apply. Homes inside a homeowners association often need HOA design approval before the city package is submitted.
• Masters Construction runs the full permit track: measured existing-conditions drawings, construction documents, structural engineering coordination, the submittal itself, and written responses to plan-review comments. We also cover every inspection from footing through final. You never chase corrections or schedule inspectors yourself.
• Because we price the project after design and engineering are finished, the permit set and the contract describe the same building. That is what keeps a Tigard project on schedule once demolition starts.

Most of Tigard was built between the 1970s and the 1990s, with ranches, split-levels and two-story tract homes making up the bulk of the housing stock. Plus there is 2000s and newer construction on Bull Mountain and in River Terrace. That has real consequences for a remodel.

Homes from that era were framed conventionally and are generally sound, so the opportunity is layout, daylight and finishes rather than structural rescue. Kitchens are usually closed off from the family room, and removing that wall typically calls for an engineered beam and new point loads down to the foundation.

Panels are often undersized for modern appliances, induction cooking or a heat pump, so a service upgrade belongs in the budget from the start. Original single-pane or early double-pane windows, aluminum sliders and thin insulation are common.

Newer Bull Mountain houses rarely need systems work, so those projects focus on finish level, primary suites and connecting the house to a covered outdoor room.
