Meeting our goals. This last year we have been focused on exceeding customer expectations. While we are a construction company listening  and treating peoples homes with care sets us apart from the others. It makes for a good work day for us also. Give us a call or an e-mail we would like to work with you on your project.

I got this e-mail at the start of January this year and it brought a lot satisfaction. It was from a client we worked with several years ago. It was nice to be remembered for the work in such positive terms.

“Dear Maxwell,
I am writing because you (worked on) our house about 14 years ago and did a really good job.  In searching your name, it appears you are now in Portland. We are wondering how far north you travel for work?  The house needs work again and the kitchen needs remodeling.
If Seattle is too far to come, can you give referrals?
Thank you,”

This year it will be our goal to work each of or project clients to create a lasting positive result. We hope to achieve this on every one of the remodels of kitchens bathrooms or additions that we build here in Portland. Happy New Year, from Green Light Construction.

This complete bathroom remodel worked very well. Being able to start with a clean slate made for a better project. All the plumbing was replaced and now the water is flowing smoothly through all new pipes and fixtures. We built the waterproofing through the whole floor and 3 feet up on the walls. We were also able to install insulation and draft sealing throughout the entire room. This whole room remodel allows homeowners to take advantage of new products available to improve the comfort and efficiency of their homes over the long term.
The shower has several fixtures with volume and temperature control. The plumbing was designed so that both fixtures can operate without a drop in pressure. The hand held shower is mounted on a heavy bar that is anchored to the studs so that it can also be used as a grab bar in the shower. This shows how a bit of planning can go a long way in the final results.

The room is small and selecting a wall mount sink opened up a lot floor space. Above the sink we were able to find enough space in the wall to build a recessed medicine cabinet with a hinged mirror.

The floor in the shower is a tumbled stone. The small shape of the stones provide a lot of traction in a wet area. They have a similar shape to the subway tiles on the walls but they are on each 1 inch by 2 inches, a mini-subway shape. The small format tiles conform to the slopes in the shower floor. The linear drain system can work with larger piece tiles but the slopes in this shower required tiles sized around 2 inches by 2 inches.

The main floor is a solid body tile with a good slip resistance so it is also safe for wet feet. The heated floor in the main area gets a lot of positive reviews. There is an option to turn it off to save energy; the thermostat is also equipped with a seven day thermostat that can warm the floor before the day starts. We also moved the room heating vent from its original floor location to the wall. The main floor is now a solid waterproof surface.

The shower floor and its surround was built using the Wedi system. This shower system gives us surface that we can tile directly to. The backer is water proof and vapor proof so it can be used to build steam rooms. It also provides some insulation in the floor; directing the heat from the floor in to the room.

The wall color works well with the design. It is a robin’s egg blue that brightens the room and brings in a fresh spring feel. There is only one north facing window in the room but the new lights on two switches provide multiple lighting options in the room.

The homeowners think the room is “Just fantastic.” We are happy with the project also.
