About ReCraft Home Remodeling
ReCraft Home Remodeling is a Portland-based remodeling contractor with a focus on clear communication, careful planning, and delivering projects on time and within budget. They work with homeowners across a range of project types, from whole house remodels to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction, and have developed a reputation for organized, well-coordinated work.
One of the core principles behind how ReCraft operates is communication. From the initial consultation through to project completion, they maintain open lines of communication with homeowners, architects, designers, subcontractors, and suppliers. This approach is intended to reduce surprises and keep everyone aligned throughout the process.
Organization and planning are central to how ReCraft manages projects. They provide clients with a dedicated Project Portal where project details, schedules, and updates are accessible at any time. Clients receive a clear calendar of work outlining what will be done, when, and by whom — a feature that many homeowners find particularly useful when planning around a remodel.
When unexpected changes arise during a project — whether due to unforeseen conditions uncovered during construction, client-requested additions, or supply cost fluctuations — ReCraft communicates these promptly. They aim to keep homeowners informed rather than surprised, and work through changes collaboratively.

ReCraft has experience working with Portland's distinctive housing stock, including Portland Foursquares, Craftsman homes, Victorian-era properties, American Ranch homes, and Mid-Century Modern Split Levels. Their familiarity with era-specific construction techniques and design details allows them to modernize homes while preserving their original character.
Their remodeling services cover a broad range of project types:
- Whole House Remodeling — From full gut renovations to targeted improvements, ReCraft handles complete home transformations while allowing homeowners to retain the elements they value most.
- Basement Remodeling — Converting underutilized basement spaces into functional living areas such as fitness rooms, home offices, laundry rooms, or play spaces.
- Kitchen Remodeling — Working with a Certified Kitchen Designer, ReCraft helps homeowners redesign kitchen layouts and select materials, appliances, and fixtures suited to their lifestyle.

ADU Construction in Portland
Accessory dwelling units are growing in popularity across Portland, and ReCraft offers ADU building services as part of their broader remodeling work. An ADU contractor like ReCraft can help homeowners make use of their existing land by adding a self-contained living structure to their property.
These accessory dwelling unit builds can serve a variety of purposes, including guest accommodations, a private space for adult children, a dedicated home office, or a hobby studio. ReCraft approaches each detached ADU or backyard cottage project with the same attention to design cohesion as their interior remodels, ensuring the new structure complements the existing home and fits naturally within the property.
Whether a homeowner is considering a granny flat, an in-law suite, or a more general accessory dwelling unit, ReCraft works through the design and construction process with the homeowner to deliver a functional result that aligns with both their needs and their budget.
ReCraft Home Remodeling has also received recognition through industry awards, though they consider repeat clients — homeowners who return for second, third, or even fourth projects — to be the most meaningful indicator of their work quality. Their referral network includes architects, designers, subcontractors, and suppliers who regularly recommend them to homeowners based on their craftsmanship and client care.
