Whole-Home Renovation in Hillsboro

One connected renovation, not a dozen separate jobs.

Searching for a whole-home renovation near you in Hillsboro? A full renovation reworks the entire house as a single project: the floor plan, kitchen and baths, flooring and lighting, and the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC behind the walls. Everything is planned and built together.

Many Hillsboro homes were built with closed, compartmentalized layouts in the 1990s and 2000s. Opening those up, adding a real primary suite, and modernizing systems turns a dated house into one that fits how your family actually lives in 2026.

Because the work spans every trade and strict Washington County code, the contractor you choose controls the outcome. The right design-build partner protects your budget, holds your schedule, and keeps every decision under one accountable contract.

Quick Summary

A whole-home renovation in Hillsboro typically runs $150 to $400 per square foot, with total project investments landing between $150,000 and $500,000+ depending on square footage, structural work, and finish level.

Renovating rather than relocating lets you keep your Hillsboro neighborhood, schools, and Silicon Forest commute while modernizing the home. A well-executed whole-home renovation is one of the strongest ways to add long-term value and daily livability in the 2026 market.

Why It Pays Off

What makes a Hillsboro renovation worth the investment?

A whole-home renovation lets you stay in the Hillsboro neighborhood you chose while making the house work the way a new build would. In a tight housing market, that often costs less upheaval than buying and moving, and you keep your schools, commute, and the connections that took years to build.

The 2026 renovation leans on light, flow, and flexibility. Removing walls between kitchen, dining, and living creates the open core families want. A dedicated primary suite, a real home office for Silicon Forest work-from-home life, and updated systems make the home quieter, tighter, and cheaper to run.

Pair that daily livability with a modernized, energy-efficient house, and a renovation delivers both an immediate lifestyle upgrade and long-term value. Explore the scope on our whole-home renovation page.

Woodland Construction Group – 18 Years Experience – Serving Hillsboro, Oregon

Our team of licensed contractors specializes in full-home renovations across Hillsboro and the west-side metro, combining structural expertise with 2026 design under one accountable design-build contract.

Signature Features

The details we specialize in.

Six scopes show up in almost every whole-home renovation we build in Hillsboro. Each one is engineered for the way the house actually gets lived in, not just how it photographs.

I.

Open layouts

Removing walls between kitchen, dining, and living to create the connected open core that dated 1990s and 2000s Hillsboro floor plans were never built for.

II.

Structural work

Load-bearing beams, foundation and framing updates, and second-story or bump-out additions, engineered and permitted through Washington County.

III.

Kitchens & baths

The two rooms that anchor a renovation, remodeled with custom cabinetry, quartz and stone, tile, and fixtures that match the rest of the house.

IV.

Primary suites

A true owner’s retreat with a walk-in closet and spa bath, added or reconfigured to give Hillsboro families the private space older homes lack.

V.

Systems & efficiency

Updated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and windows, making the home tighter, quieter, and cheaper to run through Oregon’s wet season.

VI.

Flooring & finishes

Continuous flooring, trim, paint, and lighting carried through the whole house so every room reads as one cohesive 2026 design, not a patchwork.

How We Work

A proven seven-step design-build process.

One team, one contract, from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. Here is exactly how a Hillsboro whole-home renovation moves from idea to finished house.

I
Step One

Initial consultation

We start with an in-depth conversation about your goals, how your family uses the home, and your budget, then walk your Hillsboro home to assess its condition and take measurements. This complimentary consult covers feasibility, whole-home ideas, and realistic investment ranges for Washington County.

II
Step Two

Design & planning

Our in-house design team builds detailed 3D renderings and full-house floor plans, presents multiple layout options, and refines the design with your feedback. We map the whole scope up front so structure, systems, and finishes are coordinated before a single wall comes down.

III
Step Three

Selecting materials

We guide you through cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, and fixtures for every room at once, drawing on established relationships with premium Portland-area suppliers. Selecting the whole house together keeps the finished renovation cohesive rather than piecemeal.

IV
Step Four

Permits & demolition

We pull every City of Hillsboro and Washington County permit, then remove finishes behind containment that protects any areas staying in place. This phase exposes the framing and surfaces hidden plumbing, electrical, or water-damage issues before we rebuild.

V
Step Five

Structural & systems

Framing crews handle beams, additions, and load-bearing changes while licensed plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs update the systems throughout the house. We coordinate every inspection so the rough-in passes clean before insulation and drywall.

VI
Step Six

Finishes & build-out

Flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, trim, lighting, and paint go in across every room, phased so trades stay out of each other’s way. Kitchens and baths are completed with the same precision that carries through the whole renovation.

VII
Step Seven

Final walkthrough

We walk the finished home with you, demonstrate how every system works, and hand over maintenance guidance and warranty documentation. The project is not complete until you are fully satisfied, and our 2-year craftsmanship warranty carries on from there.

Timelines, permits, cost, and what to expect in 2026. If your question is not here, call us. We would rather answer it directly.

A whole-home renovation in Hillsboro typically runs 4 to 9 months from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on square footage and scope. A focused multi-room remodel finishes closer to 4 to 5 months, while a full gut renovation with structural changes, additions, or a new primary suite runs 7 to 9 months. We set a detailed schedule during design and hold to it through construction.

In Hillsboro, whole-home renovations generally run $150 to $400 per square foot, with total investments landing between $150,000 and $500,000 or more depending on size, structural work, and finish level. Opening up a closed 1990s or 2000s floor plan, updating systems, and remodeling kitchens and baths sits in the middle of that range. You get an itemized, line-by-line estimate during the design phase.

Woodland Construction Group serves every Hillsboro neighborhood, from Orenco Station and Tanasbourne to South Hillsboro, Jackson School, and historic downtown. As a family-owned Portland-metro design-build firm since 2008, we are close enough to be on site quickly and local enough to know Washington County permitting. If you are searching for whole-home renovation near you in Hillsboro, call (503) 912-2000 for a free in-home consultation.

Yes. Whole-home renovations in Hillsboro require permits through the City of Hillsboro and Washington County, especially when work touches structure, plumbing, electrical, additions, or egress. Woodland Construction Group handles every permit application, engineering, inspection, and code coordination, which keeps the project on schedule and fully compliant.

It depends on scope. For a phased renovation we can often seal off active work zones so you stay in the home, sequencing the kitchen and baths so you always have a functional one. For a full gut renovation, most Hillsboro families relocate temporarily for safety and speed. We help you weigh the timeline, cost, and disruption of each approach during planning.

A whole-home renovation reworks the house as a single connected project: open-concept layout changes, kitchen and bathroom remodels, primary-suite additions, flooring, lighting, and updated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and windows. Because it is one design-build contract rather than a string of separate jobs, the finishes, systems, and schedule all stay coordinated.

For many Hillsboro homeowners, yes. Renovating lets you keep your neighborhood, schools, and commute to the Silicon Forest while modernizing a dated layout for far less upheaval than buying and moving in a tight market. A well-executed whole-home renovation improves daily livability, energy efficiency, and resale appeal, which is why many owners choose to renovate rather than relocate in 2026.
