We have worked with Tim and his crew on a number of home projects. Tim is a fantastic communicator. We always got timely, complete responses, and when we had questions, Tim never hesitated to answer in as much detail as we needed.
We requested an open, bright space, and they made it look better than we could have imagined. We continue to get compliments on our basement and recommend them to anyone looking for a remodel.
They adeptly took on the monumental task of transforming our 100-year-old basement and attached garage, along with their 100 years of mistakes, into a beautifully finished new living space.
Recently, I had my stairway to the basement renovated. As expected, Tim and Mike came through with a great transformation. I have spent more time in my basement in the last few months than I have in the last decade or so, thank you, Steiner Remodel. You really improved our house and our lives.
What set Tim apart from other contractors I've worked with was that he was genuinely invested in producing a final product that we would be happy with, while keeping to our budget.
Tim is a pleasure to work with. During the design process, he really listened to what I wanted and helped my dreams for my home become a reality. I will be continuing to contract Steiner Remodel for many more projects to come.

5 Ways We Make Remodeling Easier
Steiner Remodel handles everything from design and permits to construction and scheduling under one roof, giving you one trusted team, instead of being handed off between designers, contractors, and project managers you've never met.
Steiner Remodel's Project Planning Agreement helps define your project scope, selections, and pricing upfront so you can move forward with greater confidence and fewer surprises later.
With deep experience in both construction and design, Steiner Remodel can navigate unexpected challenges and find smart solutions without compromising the integrity of your home.
To kick off the remodeling process, you'll have a call with Tim, the owner of Steiner Remodel. This first conversation helps us understand your Portland home, the space you want to remodel, your timeline, and the budget range you have in mind. We’ll talk through what’s prompting the project, what you want to improve, and whether Steiner Remodel is the right fit before scheduling an in-home consultation.
Next, we’ll visit your home to better understand the space, your goals, and how you want your remodel to function and feel once complete. During this consultation, you’ll walk us through what’s currently working, what isn’t, and the changes you want to make. This meeting also helps us begin shaping the design direction and establish a preliminary project cost range.
Join us in our conference room or over video call to review the preliminary estimate for your remodel. Questions are strongly encouraged at this stage, so you can feel confident and informed before moving forward. If you like what you see, a reasonable fee will begin the Project Planning Agreement (PPA) process. While separate from the construction contract, the PPA covers the detailed planning needed before construction begins, including design services, scope development, and a more detailed contract. If needed, the process may also include limited exploratory demolition to help minimize surprises and create more accurate project pricing. Should you move forward with Steiner Remodel for construction, a portion of the PPA fee may be credited toward the construction phase.
We’ll begin by carefully measuring your home and creating the initial plans for your remodel, layout, and new space. Then, we’ll review the design together and refine it based on your feedback, preferences, and goals for the project. This phase also includes selecting finishes and finalizing important project details. Once everything is aligned, we’ll prepare a detailed construction contract with a fixed price and clearly defined scope of work.
Now it’s your turn to relax as we begin preparing your project for construction. We’ll work with the city building department and trusted subcontractors to secure permits, coordinate scheduling, and finalize the details needed to keep your remodel moving smoothly. Once complete, you’ll receive access to an easy-to-follow project schedule that automatically updates throughout the remodeling process so you always know what’s happening next, 24 hours a day.
Before construction begins, our team will implement a site plan to help protect your home, including isolating the work area and setting up protective barriers where needed.Next comes demolition, followed by the “rough-in” stage, where framing, electrical, plumbing, and other core systems are installed. After inspections and a walkthrough with the team, we’ll begin installing finishes and bringing the design to life. Once construction is complete, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough together so you can fully enjoy your newly remodeled space.

The cost of a home remodel in Portland depends on the size of the project, the age and condition of the home, material selections, and the overall scope of work. Kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, basement finishing, and home additions can vary significantly depending on the level of customization and structural work involved.
Steiner Remodel provides preliminary pricing ranges early in the process based on recently completed projects, so homeowners can better understand what to expect before moving forward. For clients who decide to continue, the Project Planning Agreement (PPA) phase helps develop a more accurate scope, design plan, and project price before construction begins.
If an unexpected cost comes up during your remodel, Steiner Remodel communicates it clearly before moving forward. You’ll know what changed, why it matters, how it affects the project, and what your options are before any major decisions are made.
The goal is to avoid surprise bills and rushed decisions. While the planning process helps reduce unexpected costs upfront, any changes that do come up are handled with transparency, clear communication, and approval before the work continues.
The Project Planning Agreement (PPA) is a paid planning phase that takes place before construction begins. During this stage, Steiner Remodel develops the design, coordinates selections and engineering, refines the project scope, and creates a more detailed construction plan and contract.
This process helps homeowners move forward with clearer expectations, more accurate pricing, and fewer surprises during construction. Depending on the project, the PPA may also include limited exploratory demolition to uncover potential issues early.
If you decide to hire Steiner Remodel for the construction phase, a portion of the PPA fee may be credited toward the final project cost.
The timeline for a remodel depends on the size and complexity of the project, the age of the home, permitting requirements, material selections, and the overall scope of work. Smaller remodeling projects may move more quickly, while larger kitchen remodels, additions, or full-home renovations can take several months from planning through construction.
