Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Kitchens are some of our most common remodels, and we take on bathrooms as part of larger remodels. We often pair the work with upgrades like a heat pump water heater, an induction range, or better insulation when it makes sense for the house.

A deep energy retrofit upgrades an existing home’s insulation, windows, air sealing, and mechanical systems together, so the house uses far less energy and is more comfortable to live in. It’s often done alongside a remodel.

Most do. Many of our remodels go through the City of Portland’s Field Issuance Remodel (F.I.R.) program, which can mean approval in a few weeks. Birdsmouth was part of the program’s original test group.
