Transforming Your Forever Home: Why a Custom Builder is Your Best Remodeling Ally

Your home is more than just a structure; it’s a reflection of your life’s journey. But as families grow or lifestyles shift, even the most beloved spaces can start to feel a bit "off." When you reach that point, you're faced with a choice: do you hire a standard renovation crew, or do you bring in a custom home builder ?

At Skreen Construction, we’ve spent over 30 years building dream homes from the ground up across the Portland-Metro area . We’ve found that this high-level experience doesn't just make us good at new builds—it makes us exceptionally qualified for complex remodeling.

Here is why partnering with a custom home builder for your next remodel is the smartest investment you can make.

1. We See the "Whole Picture"

Standard remodelers often focus on the surface: new tile, fresh paint, or updated cabinets. As custom builders, we look at the bones.

Because we understand the structural integrity required to build a house from scratch, we can anticipate how moving a kitchen wall will affect your roof load or how an addition will integrate with your existing foundation. We don't just "fix" a room; we ensure the entire home functions as a cohesive unit.

2. Unmatched Design-Build Expertise

Remodeling an existing space is often more difficult than building a new one. You have to work within constraints while trying to achieve a "seamless" look.

The Custom Edge: We offer a design-build approach. Whether you have an architect already or want to work with our internal design team, we ensure that the new space doesn't look like an "add-on."
The Result: A remodel that feels like it was part of the original floor plan.

3. A Deep Network of Elite Craftsmen

A custom home is only as good as the hands that build it. Over three decades, Skreen Construction has cultivated relationships with the finest subcontractors in Oregon—from master carpenters to precision electricians.

"We take pride in building every home as though we were working on our own home." — Brad Skreen, President

When you hire us for a remodel, you aren't getting whoever was available that day. You’re getting the same elite crews who win "People’s Choice" awards at the NW Natural Street of Dreams .

4. Navigating the Unexpected

Remodels are famous for "surprises" behind the drywall. A custom builder’s superpower is problem-solving. Because we’ve seen every phase of construction thousands of times, we don't panic when we find outdated wiring or a hidden structural issue. We have the technical knowledge to solve it efficiently without blowing your budget or timeline.

The Skreen Difference: Quality Over Quantity

In areas like West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Portland , homes have character. They deserve a builder who respects that character while introducing modern luxury. Whether it’s a full-scale home addition or a high-end kitchen transformation, our goal is to add lasting value to your investment, which is something Skreen Construction has done hundreds of times .

AYALA MASTER BATH REMODEL

AYALA MASTER BATH REMODEL: From Dark & Drabby to Bright, Timeless Luxury

A well-designed master bath remodel can completely change how a home feels. For the Ayala Master Bath Remodel , Skreen Construction Inc. transformed a dark, outdated bathroom into a bright, elegant space featuring a custom marble shower and high-end finishes throughout. This luxury bathroom renovation showcases how thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship can turn an everyday bathroom into a true retreat.

The Original Master Bathroom

Before the remodel, the master bathroom felt closed off and cave-like. The existing shower was dark and visually heavy, with limited lighting and dated materials. The homeowners wanted a custom shower that felt open, modern, and spa-inspired—while upgrading every surface and fixture for long-term functionality and style.

The Transformation

We completely reimagined the space from top to bottom, starting with the shower—the true focal point of this remodel.

The old shower was replaced with a stunning marble shower, instantly elevating the room with a clean, classic look. A custom glass door opened up the space, allowing light to flow freely and giving the bathroom an airy, spa-like feel.

Custom Marble Shower & Glass Door Upgrade

The centerpiece of this master bath remodel is the new custom marble shower. Marble wall surrounds immediately brightened the space, while a sleek frameless glass shower door allowed natural and artificial light to flow throughout the room. This upgrade alone dramatically changed the feel of the bathroom, turning it from dark and drabby into open and inviting.

Cabinetry, Countertops & Flooring Enhancements

To complement the new shower, we installed new bathroom cabinets designed for both storage and style. The cabinetry was paired with granite countertops, adding durability and timeless elegance to this luxury bathroom renovation. Updated bathroom flooring ties the entire space together, creating a cohesive and polished look.

Modern Features & High-End Fixtures

This master bath remodel included several premium upgrades to elevate comfort and usability:

A pocket door with a sheen peek-a-boo glass insert, bringing in light while maintaining privacy
A TOTO toilet, known for performance, efficiency, and modern design
All-new hardware, including cabinet hardware, faucets, and lighting fixtures, selected to create a cohesive finish throughout the space

Each detail was chosen to enhance both form and function, ensuring the bathroom feels as good as it looks.

The Finished Luxury Bathroom Renovation

The completed Ayala Master Bath Remodel is now a bright, modern, and relaxing retreat. This luxury bathroom renovation reflects Skreen Construction Inc.’s commitment to craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and personalized design. From the custom shower to the lighting and hardware, every element was thoughtfully installed to create a space that will stand the test of time.

TURNER KITCHEN & BATH REMODEL

TURNER KITCHEN REMODEL: From old & dated to Bright, Timeless Luxury

Located in the prestigious Barrington Heights neighborhood of West Linn, the Turner kitchen remodel is a masterclass in modern transformation. Skreen Construction took a dark, dated space—previously defined by heavy wooden cabinetry and black granite—and reimagined it into a bright, sophisticated sanctuary. The centerpiece of the new design features sleek marble countertops that bring an air of timeless elegance, perfectly contrasted by the warmth of sturdy, luxurious hardwood flooring. From the custom-integrated cabinetry to the high-end fixtures, every element was replaced with a relentless focus on the smallest details, proving that a true "home makeover" by Brad Skreen doesn't just update a room—it breathes new life into the entire house.

The "Before": A Need for Light and Life

Before our team arrived, the Turner kitchen was defined by the heavy, traditional styles of a previous decade. Dark, dated wooden cabinetry dominated the room, and while the black granite countertops were once a standard of high-end design, they absorbed the light, making the entire space feel smaller and more enclosed than it needed to be. The homeowners knew it was time for a change—they wanted a kitchen that felt light, airy, and more reflective of their modern lifestyle.

The "After": A Vision in Marble and Hardwood

We completely reimagined the space from top to bottom, starting with the cabinets—the true focal point of this remodel. The "After" is nothing short of breathtaking. By stripping away the dark elements, we opened up a world of design possibilities.

Designer Details

At Skreen Construction, we pride ourselves on a "sharp eye for detail". In this remodel, every detail—from the modern minimalist light fixtures to the integrated high-end appliances—was chosen to ensure a seamless, luxurious finish.

Cabinetry, Countertops & storage Enhancements

We replaced the heavy black granite with stunning, high-contrast marble. These sleek surfaces don't just provide a durable workspace; they act as a bright, reflective focal point that commands attention the moment you enter the room. The new, crisp white cabinets reach toward the ceiling, maximizing storage while making the room feel twice as tall.

Modern Features & High-End Fixtures

To create a cohesive feel throughout the home, we extended the Turner kitchen's sophisticated palette into the master bathroom, ensuring a seamless transition of luxury. This master bath remodel incorporates the same sleek marble surfaces and warm hardwood-inspired tones found in the kitchen, creating a unified aesthetic that ties the entire residence together. By utilizing matching high-end hardware and custom tile work, we brought a sense of continuity and "Street of Dreams" quality to this private sanctuary. Every detail, from the vanity finishes to the precision-laid flooring, was chosen to echo the kitchen’s modern elegance, proving that a truly successful remodel considers the harmony of the entire home.

The Finished kitchen & master bath Renovation

The Turner project is more than just a renovation; it’s a testament to how a thoughtful design-build approach can breathe new life into an existing home, providing an incredible return on investment and a space that the family will cherish for years to come.
