Suite Additions Portland: Home Remodeling and ADU Services
Suite Additions Portland is a home remodeling and construction company serving the Portland metro area. Led by owner Tim Jorgens (CCB #201364), the team specializes in a range of services including accessory dwelling unit (ADU) construction, accessibility upgrades, bathroom modifications, aging-in-place solutions, and custom home additions. Their work is guided by a collaborative design approach that brings together designers, project managers, and skilled tradespeople.
The company works with homeowners who are looking to adapt their living spaces to changing needs — whether that means adding an in-law suite, converting a garage into a living area, or building a detached backyard cottage on their property.
ADU Construction and Design
Suite Additions Portland offers full-service ADU builder capabilities, handling projects from initial consultation through construction and completion. As an experienced accessory dwelling unit builder, they work on several types of ADU configurations:
- Detached ADUs — standalone backyard cottages or separate structures built on the same property as the primary home
- Garage conversions — repurposing an existing garage into a functional living space
- Attached units — additions connected directly to the main home
- Basement apartments — converting underutilized basement space into a complete suite
ADUs can serve a variety of purposes. Homeowners commonly use them for multigenerational living arrangements, such as housing aging parents or adult children. Others use them as rental units for additional income, guest accommodations, or dedicated home office and studio spaces.
The design and build process begins with a consultation to understand the homeowner's goals, budget, and vision. From there, the team develops custom designs, manages permitting, and oversees construction through to completion.
Interior Design and Project Management
A notable aspect of Suite Additions Portland's approach is the involvement of a certified interior designer on every project. Their Interior Design/Project Manager works closely with Tim Jorgens throughout each phase, from early concept development to final construction documents. This integrated approach covers:
- Space planning and conceptual 2D floor plans
- 3D renderings and elevations
- Finish palettes and material selection
- Lighting solutions
- Construction details and documentation
- Project management and quality control
This level of design involvement is intended to ensure that each project is not only visually cohesive but also functional and suited to the homeowner's specific lifestyle needs.
Beyond ADU construction, Suite Additions Portland also handles accessibility remodeling and aging-in-place upgrades. One of their featured products is the FlexStep Wheelchair Lift, a system that functions as both a staircase and a platform lift, allowing wheelchair users to move between levels without requiring large ramps or bulky equipment. This type of solution is particularly relevant for homeowners looking to make their homes safer and more accessible for family members with mobility challenges.
Suite Additions Portland serves the broader Portland metro area. Their team manages projects from start to finish, coordinating design, permitting, and construction under one roof. For homeowners considering an in-law suite, granny flat, detached ADU, or garage conversion, Suite Additions Portland offers a structured process aimed at keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
