17. Before & After: Portland Home Transformations

Nothing tells the story of craftsmanship better than the homes we've transformed. After 4 generations in construction, we've seen it all—from dated 1962 mid-century originals to century-old Craftsman bungalows requiring delicate restoration. Here are six standout Portland case studies.

Mid-Century Modern Kitchen Revival

Located in the Hawthorne District, this 1962 kitchen was closed off and inefficient. We removed non-load-bearing walls to create an open concept with custom white shaker cabinetry and Caesarstone quartz.

Basement ADU Conversion

In Multnomah Village, we transformed 550 sq. ft. of unfinished storage into a rental-ready 1-bedroom ADU. This involved structural egress windows and high-performance waterproofing protocols.

Home Value+$120k

Craftsman Bathroom Restoration

A 1912 Irvington home had suffered a dated 1980s remodel. ACGI restored the period-appropriate aesthetic with a cast iron clawfoot tub, hex tile flooring, and custom beadboard wainscoting.
