Clear & Proven Process
A successful home remodel requires a clear process. With satisfied customers across Milwaukie, we’ll help you navigate the challenges of remodeling using our 6 Step Design-Build Process.
True Cost Accuracy
1 in 3 remodels go over budget. That doesn’t have to be your project. Lamont Bros has developed a budgeting system that helps you avoid surprise costs. In fact, our projects average only a 5% variance from the initial budget to the final price.
Your Project, On Time
Rest assured knowing that your home remodel is in good hands. We assign a dedicated remodeling team to each project, led by one of our experienced master carpenters. This means we complete projects on time. While other companies average weeks or months, our projects average less than 2 days difference from the original schedule.
Extended Warranty
All remodeling contractors in Oregon are required by law to offer a minimum 1-year warranty. At Lamont Bros., we’ll stand by the quality of our work longer than the law requires us to. That’s why we offer a 3-year warranty on all of our products and installations.
Milwaukie Neighborhoods
Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Milwaukie, OR
Milwaukie, known for its blend of historical charm and suburban growth, offers a variety of home styles, including mid-century ranches, craftsman bungalows, and newer developments. Neighborhoods like Ardenwald and Oatfield feature larger lots with mature trees, giving homes a semi-rural feel, while the Historic Milwaukie area includes homes that retain much of their early 20th-century character.
The proximity to the Willamette River and the area’s parks, such as Milwaukie Riverfront Park, provides a scenic backdrop for this vibrant community. As the city has grown, newer developments have brought modern amenities and more walkable neighborhoods to Milwaukie, especially in areas closer to the MAX Orange Line for easy commuting.
Common Remodeling Challenges in Milwaukie May Include:
Renovating Mid-Century Homes
A significant number of homes in Milwaukie were built in the mid-20th century, especially in neighborhoods like Linwood and Ardenwald. These homes may require updates to their electrical and plumbing systems to meet modern safety standards, as well as cosmetic updates to align with current design preferences. Converting small, compartmentalized rooms into more open living spaces is a common renovation project
Managing Large Lots
In areas like Oatfield and Milwaukie Heights, many homes are on larger lots compared to neighboring Portland, which can pose both opportunities and challenges. Renovating or developing outdoor spaces often involves improving drainage systems, installing landscaping, or adding outdoor living areas. Some homeowners take advantage of these spacious lots by building ADUs or expanding their homes.
Preserving Historic Character
For those living in the Historic Milwaukie district or owning older homes, maintaining the historical integrity of their properties during renovations can be a challenge. Many homeowners seek to preserve original features such as hardwood floors, fireplaces, and architectural details while updating their homes for modern comfort and functionality.

Maureen’s Exterior Home Remodel
When Maureen moved into a new home to be closer to family, she knew she wanted to change some of the home’s exterior. She came to Lamont Bros to help her explore the options before settling on a plan that would transform the front facade and back patio of her home.
We spent several months of careful planning to make sure the project would perfectly meet her expectations. Then, our team got to work transforming the entryway of Maureen’s home and built a four-season outdoor living space that she could use year-round for gardening and entertaining guests.

When designed well and kept to a reasonable budget, a home renovation can be a great investment in the value of your home and the quality of your life while you live there. Market data suggests that home improvement projects can add up to 80% of their cost back to the home’s value upon completion.
Getting permits for your remodel isn’t always an easy process. The requirements and specific steps vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
If you’re planning to remodel your Milwaukie home, check the City of Milwaukie’s Website and read this article, “How to Get Remodel Permits.“
When working with a contractor to remodel, your contractor may handle all of the permitting on your behalf. However, it’s important to make sure you and your contractor are on the same page. Projects completed without the necessary permits can have drastic consequences.
We love projects like this! If you have a historic home in the Milwaukie area, remodeling it can be challenging due to regulations on protected homes. You can read about what to expect in our Guide to Remodeling in Historic Districts.
In addition to working on historic homes, our team at Lamont Bros. has experience renovating several homes by famous Oregon architects, including A.E. Doyle’s Cobb House. Others include works by Richard Sundeleaf and Robert Rummer.
