Housing characteristics in Portland
Portland's housing stock is rich in Craftsman bungalows, foursquares, mid-century homes, and compact infill housing. The wet climate makes roofing, flashing, siding, drainage, and crawl-space ventilation especially important, and older wood-frame homes often need seismic bracing or careful envelope upgrades. In some neighborhoods, floodplain or environmental rules add design and permitting complexity to additions and site work.
