Skip to main content Skip to content The Hemlock home: a 1951 daylight ranch in Hillsboro, remodeled top to bottom, inside and out. A new roof, fresh paint and landscaping, an open kitchen, a vaulted primary suite, rebuilt baths, and a finished daylight basement across roughly 3,200 square feet.
The Hemlock home is a 1951 ranch on Hillsboro. The brief was a true whole-home remodel: touch every room, inside and out, without losing the mid-century bones.
Outside, the house got a new black roof, white-painted brick, black-framed windows, and fully refreshed landscaping. Inside, we opened the kitchen, re-leveled and re-floored the living spaces in white oak, turned a dark paneled den into a vaulted primary suite, and rebuilt the baths in marble, slate, and subway tile.
Across roughly 3,200 square feet, almost nothing was left untouched. The before-and-after speaks for itself. We are booking 2026 whole-home remodels now for homeowners who want the same.
A whole-home remodel is not five separate projects. Done as one plan, the new roofline, the open kitchen, and the vaulted primary suite all speak the same language. That coherence, inside and out, is what turns a dated 1951 ranch into a home that reads as new.
Anna leads design at WCG, from the material palette to the light and the layout of every room. On Hemlock she directed the whole-home redesign, inside and out, and stayed with it from the first drawing to the final styling, so the before-and-after reads as one considered whole.
A whole-home remodel is the highest-leverage move for an older Portland home. You keep the lot, the trees, and the location, and bring every room up to how you live now. The before-and-after is the proof.
The most dramatic change is the one from the street. A new black roof, white-painted brick, black-framed windows, and fully replanted grounds gave the 1951 ranch a clean, modern face without losing its shape.
The dated wood kitchen came out for an open, light-filled room: white cabinetry, a black island with quartz tops, skylights, a pro range with a custom hood, and new white-oak floors that run into the dining space.
We pulled the carpet and tile, re-leveled a sloped floor, and ran white-oak hardwood through the main living spaces. The fireplace was refined and the windows swapped to black frames for a cleaner, brighter room.
The biggest interior move: a heavy wood-paneled den became a bright, vaulted primary bedroom with a whitewashed brick fireplace and black-framed windows, paired with a rebuilt primary bath in marble, slate, and subway tile.
The remodel did not stop at the headline rooms. Secondary bedrooms and a study were brightened and re-floored, and the unfinished basement became a carpeted family room, so every level of the house earns its keep.
A whole-home remodel is only as good as the systems and finishes behind the walls. Here is what went into the Hemlock ranch, inside and out.
A new black roof, white-painted brick, and refreshed siding and trim gave the 1951 ranch a clean modern face.
Original windows swapped for black-framed units throughout, tying the exterior and interiors together.
A closed wood kitchen opened into a white kitchen with a black island, quartz tops, and skylights.
A dark paneled den reframed and finished into a bright, vaulted primary bedroom.
The baths were gutted and rebuilt in white subway tile, marble-top vanities, slate floors, and black fixtures.
Re-leveled white-oak floors, a finished basement family room, and fully replanted landscaping.
