Everyone was very professional and pleasant. If I asked a question and they didn’t have an answer for me at the time, they would get back with me promptly to my satisfaction! The job was done in record time, that in itself was a pleasant surprise. The finished remodel which included a heated floor, a skylight, an invisible drain in the wall, all of which was SIMPLY AMAZING! I would recommend Lamont Bros. design & construction for any remodel job big or small. They cleaned up after the project promptly to my satisfaction. I am extremely grateful to the entire team.

We are very happy with how the bathroom remodel has turned out. Overall, the result looks beautiful, and I’m truly pleased with the final result. Andrew’s professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for our discussions throughout the process really meant a lot to me. I also want to personally thank Andrew for the many thoughtful things he did beyond the construction work—like bringing my packages inside and pulling the recycle bin back to the gate when I was at work. Those small gestures made a big difference and didn’t go unnoticed. Please also extend my appreciation to Juli and her design team. I truly enjoyed working with them from the initial concept to the final design. They did a wonderful job balancing my budget with the results I was hoping for. The project schedule and communication system were also very clear and well organized, which made the entire process much more comfortable and stress-free. Xiao - Google Review

We just finished a total remodel of our original 1953 bathroom with Lamont Bros. From design to finish, we had an outstanding experience. Their professionalism and dedication was evident throughout the project. Ben, our Remodeling Superintendent, was exceptional. His work is meticulous. He kept us informed on a daily basis, had the foresight to adjust design details to match our needs and is a true craftsman at his work. Having a multi-trade talented superintendent made the our project easy and as least disruptive as possible. This remodel has truly transformed out bathroom and we couldn't be happier with the results. If you're considering a remodel, I highly recommend Lamont Bros for their professionalism, clear communication and outstanding work. Kathy - Google Review

A well-executed bathroom remodel can significantly improve resale value and buyer appeal, particularly in Portland’s competitive housing market. Updated bathrooms are among the most requested improvements by homebuyers.
What is the average cost per square foot for a bathroom remodel in Portland?
Per-square-foot figures can be misleading for bathrooms. Plumbing, tile, waterproofing, and fixtures cost about the same in a small bathroom as a large one, so smaller bathrooms carry a much higher cost per square foot.

Can I stay in my home during the remodel?
Yes, in most cases homeowners remain in their homes, though there will be periods when the bathroom is unusable.
What makes a design-build contractor better for a Portland bathroom remodel?
A design-build firm integrates design, budgeting, and construction into one contract, reducing change orders, improving communication, and aligning expectations early.

Look for a licensed contractor with local experience, transparent pricing processes, verified reviews, and a clearly defined remodeling system.
