How it Works

Boss PDX has repaired more Portland-area kitchens, bathrooms, and additions than we can count since 2020 — and every one of them started with the same five steps. Here's what actually happens between your first call and the final walkthrough.

How do you get a quote from Boss PDX?

Call 844-BOSS-PDX (844-267-7739) or submit a free estimate request and we respond the same day. We ask what you're trying to fix or build, where the property sits, and what's driving the timeline, then schedule a site visit — usually within the week.

We're licensed in Oregon (CCB #232383) and Washington (BOSSPPL793RN), and we work across Portland, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Wilsonville, Tualatin, Tigard, Sherwood, Newberg, McMinnville, and Lincoln City. Six years in, we've built a bench of 41 named trade partners we call on for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and specialty work — so a bathroom remodel or a full addition draws from the same pool of vetted subs every time.

What happens during the site visit?

A lead carpenter or estimator walks the property with you, measures the space, checks structural and access conditions, and asks what's non-negotiable versus flexible on the wish list. This visit is what the written scope gets built from — nothing gets priced off a phone call alone.

• We identify load-bearing walls, existing wiring/plumbing runs, and anything code will flag
• We talk through materials and finish levels so the estimate reflects what you actually want built
• We flag permit requirements up front, before they become a surprise mid-project

What's in the written scope, and why does it matter?

Every project gets a fixed written scope before construction starts — a line-item breakdown of labor, materials, and sequencing. The number we quote is the number you pay. No open-ended "time and materials" billing, no change orders sprung on you unless the scope itself changes.

We build scopes this way because vague estimates are where remodels go over budget. If the scope says three-tab shingle and 200 square feet of tile, that's what gets installed, at the price we quoted. If you want to add something mid-project, we price that addition separately and get your sign-off before touching it.

Who's actually on site during construction?

One lead carpenter and one project manager are assigned to your job from start to finish — not a rotating crew you have to re-explain the project to every week. The lead carpenter runs the daily work; the project manager handles scheduling, trade coordination, and keeps you updated on progress.

What happens at the final walkthrough?

We walk the finished space with you against the original written scope, item by item, and note anything that needs a punch-list fix before we call the job closed. Nothing gets marked complete until what's built matches what was scoped.

This is also when we confirm permit sign-offs are in hand, if the project required them, and answer any questions about materials or maintenance before we leave the site. The scope document you got at the start is the same one we're checking against at the end — that's what "the number quoted is the number paid" is supposed to mean in practice, not just on paper.
