Constraction reviews in Portland, Oregon

With Lux Construction, we know we'll be working with a talented team, with great attention to detail, and see a beautiful finished result. But what really sets them apart is their own in-house custom cabinet shop. Their brand of custom doesn't just mean it will physically fit the space, but that it will esthetically, functionally, and emotionally fit the space. They can definitely provide the ordinary, but if you crave extraordinary design and want to work with someone who will embrace your vision, look no further than Lux Construction.

The work Rick does has exceeded my expectations. He listened to my ideas and included his wealth of knowledge to make the project look timeless for years.

Rick is a great listener and it was clear he understood my vision, which made me feel confident in working with him and his team. His communication was great and I couldn’t be happier with his work.

We’ve worked with Rick and Complete Construction on multiple renovation projects. Rick was great at taking our initial ideas and building out a plan that added value — both in our quality of life and our home’s value! — and exceeded our expectations. He’s very knowledgeable about period homes and he excels at blending old and new tastefully. Great value for your money!

I've worked with Complete Construction for two major home projects. Both were designed by Complete Construction and turned out better than expected. Complete Construction had a deep understanding of my traditional Portland neighborhood that really showed up during the design process. Both projects ended up costing less than I expected and have become a positive element of our day-to-day family life in our home.

I highly recommend Complete Construction for everything from a total renovation to getting a new kitchen for your home. Complete Construction is exceedingly professional and is committed to make clients happy.

Rick & Complete Construction just completed a second renovation on our 113-year-old Portland home.

Rick is an excellent listener, and he also brings substantial vision and experience that allows him to subtly guide our dreams and visions toward a far better final build. Both of our remodels stayed within our existing house footprint, yet found great improvements in layout—saving expensive expansion.

If you want a partner in the process, Rick brings that talent.

We knew what was happening next, and when, throughout each project. And we have been daily happy with the outcomes. Rick’s experience and array of highly-skilled specialist partners allow him to stay on budget while delivering excellent quality.

Complete Construction did a great job with our home. He knows his stuff and was able to guide us to great materials, fixtures etc m. We are super happy with our remodel. Picture to come

Complete Construction did excellent work on our home in 2016, and the results have held up beautifully over time. They were professional, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail really stood out. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy construction company.

Rick Bluhm is easy to work with, ethical, and thorough. We were lucky enough to have him do a sizable remodel on our home in NE Portland in 2013.
Having had what seems to be a relatively common, horrible experience with a different contractor 10 years prior, we were nervous going into our remodel with Rick. Thankfully, we had no reason to worry.
Rick Bluhm and all of his subcontractors were timely, responsive, and a delight to work with. The quality of their work was and remains outstanding.
Complete Construction built a new front porch and a large mudroom that connected our garage to our home. There were a few tricky elements to the design and they were handled with ease.
What we love about Rick is that over the past 13 years, we have called on Rick to give us advice or guide us when we were facing house-related questions. He always points us in the right direction. Personally, he has occasionally reached out to ask how we are doing, and that means a lot.
Most recently, we experienced a small house fire and Rick was the first person we thought to call. He once again is helping us sort out and fix the damage.
This is what prompted this review. How many people can say they look forward to talking to their former contractor?
Rick Bluhm and Complete Construction are the real deal.

Complete Construction did an excellent job on an attic to bedroom conversion for my old Portland home. They finished on time and within budget, even after accommodating a few changes I requested.

Rick and his team handled a challenging framing issue with our dormers with no problems. He has great subcontractors and was able to get them in and out according to schedule. His trim carpentry is BEAUTIFUL and it’s clearly one of his passions.

I have a construction background and have worked with several contractors for small commercial projects and I’m a tough critic. I have not been able to find a contractor I was comfortable hiring for my own home and Complete Construction was recommended by a designer I’ve worked with. I’m so happy to have found Rick and will definitely use him on my future projects.

Rick at Complete Construction totally transformed our home. We'd bought the ugly house on a great block, and boy WAS it ugly, sheathed in dingy 50-year-old aluminum siding and with not an ounce of personality, at least from the outside -- but it was over a century old and we knew it must've been a looker back in the day. We had ideas for what we wanted to do, to which Rick added some wise suggestions based on his knowledge of old houses. By the time he was done, the house not only looked amazing but (as our savvy neighbor noted) made architectural sense again. It was like he'd reconnected us to our house's roots.

About five years after that job, we hired Rick again to transform our basement, which when we'd moved in had looked like Buffalo Bill's lair from "Silence of the Lambs." >>>REALLY SCARY<<< He and his team gutted the whole level, re-segmented the space into a code-compliant bedroom, bathroom, storage room, and utility space, and painted the busy old ceiling of that utility space a uniform white that makes it look like an art gallery. Fantastico.

Rick puts his heart into it. We like him.

We can’t recommend Diego at NW Renovations highly enough! He has done a tremendous amount of work on our home over the years, including remodeling a bathroom, interior painting, designing and building a custom catio for our two cats, rebuilding our wood fence, and completely transforming our three-car garage with new flooring, drywall, and cabinets.

Diego is truly a jack of all trades — there seems to be nothing he can’t do. Every project has been completed with incredible attention to detail, professionalism, and craftsmanship. He’s hardworking, reliable, communicative, and always fair with pricing.

It’s rare to find someone this skilled and trustworthy, and we’re so grateful to have found him. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and consistently delivers amazing results, Diego is the one to call!

Fast response and easy design build

Amazing and quality workmanship. Managed our kitchen remodel without a hitch.

I am very impressed with the quality of work they provided. The work they did was done in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Professional and friendly.

Justin is great to work with and does beautiful work. Great guy and a great business. Glad to be able to supply their materials.

Fast response to repair storm damage. Northwest's repair is the strongest and best looking part of the structure. I would recommend Northwest for any renovation.

Hired to do one job, and he did it well. Hired to do 2nd job, disappeared.

I gave him a sizable deposit and did not hear from him for 2 months. Emailed, called, and texted with no response. This motived me to drive to is house and knock on his door. He answered and said, something along the lines of " I was going to call you." It's been 4 months and the story goes on......

Do not hire, CCB license suspended. Owes others $12,696.67 and owes me $15550.93 for the work he never did.

Northwest Renovation crew handles all jobs with care and respect. If you want high quality craftsmanship I highly recommend them for all new and custom remodeling.

I needed an emergency roof repair and I called several contractors but I couldn't get anybody out to my house in a timely manner. I called Northwest Renovation Company and they came right out and fixed the problem. No more water intrusion. Great job too!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Justin is an incredible contractor with the experience and knowledge to perform any task with ease! I use him for all my clients and for my own personal jobs because he is a professional who cares deeply about the outcome. Pick NW Renovation Company!!
