Having our entire house re-piped was daunting. The Neil Kelly team we worked with did everything possible to make the process predictable and manageable. They were proactive about communicating with everyone — us and the contractors — and did a great job of managing our expectations. Everyone we interacted with was kind and considerate, and the project was completed without a hitch — which seems like a low-key miracle. Every part of the process seemed like it was designed to minimize our stress, and it did!
Portland home remodeling since before color TV
Neil Kelly was founded in Portland in 1947. Craftsman bungalows, hillside lots, Portland permit timelines. Nearly eighty years in, we know what these houses will and won't allow.
Portland is where Neil Kelly — and Design/Build Remodeling — began.
Portland isn't just where Neil Kelly has an office. It's where the design/build model for residential remodeling was invented. We were among the first remodelers in the country to bring design and construction under one roof, with one team. That approach is now an industry standard. It started here.
Nearly eighty years later the company is still headquartered in Portland, and the original design center still operates on Alberta Street. Our Portland team handles kitchens, bathrooms, additions, whole-home remodels, and ADUs across Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, and Clark counties.

We have used Neil Kelly many times. If you want a project done right and on time without a lot of drama and uncertainty use NK.
My husband is very particular about who works at our house. I never heard him once complain about anything that was done, instead he always talked about how WELL things were being done.
