neighborhood.
Kenton Woodwork is named after the neighborhood it is based in. The pages below say what each neighborhood's houses tend to need and what we have built nearby. Not on the list? Tell us anyway. We work across the Portland metro and Clark County.
Built before 1978?
Read this.
Houses from before 1978 can have lead-based paint under the newer coats, and most of the houses here are older than that. The federal rule (the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule) says anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in those homes has to be certified; in Oregon that is a licence from the CCB. Kenton Woodwork holds the Lead-Based Paint Renovation licence (CCB 230699), so the dusty parts of a remodel are contained, cleaned up and done the way the rule says. Check it on the CCB's lead-safe search.
Tell us the street and the idea. We can probably walk over.

Questions.
Where do you work?
We're based in North Portland, Oregon, and work across the Portland metro. We're also licensed in Washington (L&I KENTOWL766Q1) for projects in Clark County.
Our house was built before 1978. Does that change anything?

Do you do free estimates?
It depends on the project. The first meet-up is always free. If it's a larger project (over $20k) with a lot of elements, we use a pre-construction contract to cover the time spent exploring your options properly.
Do I need an architect, engineer or designer?
Are you getting the project permitted? We recommend doing things the right way rather than taking shortcuts, and larger projects often require these professionals. Outside of custom woodwork we don't do CAD or design work, but we're glad to work alongside your designer or architect.
