What is the design-build approach in home remodeling, and how does it benefit Portland homeowners?

The design-build method combines design and construction under one team, creating a seamless remodeling process. For Portland homeowners, this means fewer delays, better communication, and a finished home that reflects your vision from concept to completion.

Does Lux work with outside architects and designers?

Yes –  In addition to our design-build services, we also partner with outside architects and interior designers, allowing us the flexibility to execute projects designed by others while still delivering the same level of craftsmanship, project management, and quality control that our clients expect.

What steps are involved in your design-build remodeling process?

Our process includes consultation, design development, material selections, budgeting, permitting, and construction. We work directly with each client to tailor the design process to their needs and preferences. If you’d like to be hands-on — such as selecting finishes — we’ll guide you on where to look. If you prefer a more comprehensive approach, we’ll curate and bring cohesive samples to your home or office, saving you the time and effort of visiting multiple showrooms. This flexibility ensures a streamlined process and beautifully crafted results.

What types of high-end home remodeling projects does Lux Construction specialize in?

We specialize in whole-home remodels, luxury kitchens, spa-inspired bathrooms, custom cabinetry, ADUs, major additions, basement remodels, decks, dormer projects and much more — essentially anything a homeowner might want to achieve their vision and enhance how they live in their space.

How do you ensure quality craftsmanship and premium finishes in luxury remodels?

Our team partners with skilled craftsmen, uses carefully sourced materials, and pays close attention to every detail during construction. We’ve built long-standing relationships with trusted trade partners, ensuring the right team is on every project. This experience working together allows us to stay aligned on design goals and deliver exceptional results — even when changes or unforeseen circumstances arise. We maintain high standards from design through installation to create finishes that last for decades.

Can a design-build firm handle custom cabinetry, built-ins, and architectural details?

Yes — custom cabinetry, built-ins, and architectural details are a core part of our services. With our own in-house wood shop — one of only a few in Portland — we design and fabricate pieces that integrate seamlessly into your remodel. This allows us to achieve unique details while maintaining timelines and budgets, ensuring every project feels refined, cohesive, and truly one-of-a-kind.

What is the typical timeline for a design-build kitchen or bathroom remodel?

Kitchen and bathroom remodels generally take 3–6 months from design through construction. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, but our team creates clear schedules and updates you every step of the way.

Can Lux Construction design a remodel that matches my home’s existing architectural style?

Yes — whether your home is mid-century modern, craftsman, or contemporary, our design-build team can match and elevate the existing style. We focus on creating cohesive transitions between old and new spaces. For clients interested in high design or unique approaches, we also love to push boundaries and develop truly custom solutions!

What makes your design-build process less stressful than traditional remodeling??

Because design and construction are managed under one roof, clients avoid the stress of coordinating multiple vendors. Clear communication, a single point of contact, and a streamlined process keep remodeling projects simple and enjoyable. That said, each approach has its strengths and weaknesses, and we’re happy to discuss which option best fits your goals, budget, and timeline — there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
