A Recent Project by Oregon Interior Wall Specialists

Are you searching for expert remodeling contractors near me to transform your space? Look no further than Oregon Interior Wall Specialists (ORIWS). Recently, we had the exciting opportunity to take on a unique project that highlights our expertise in ADU construction. Our latest project involved converting a two-level garage into a functional and stylish income-producing apartment unit.

The Challenge: Overcoming Plumbing Obstacles

When our clients initially approached us, they had a vision of turning the top level of their garage into a modern apartment unit. However, they faced a significant hurdle: the plumbing for the new bathroom was located approximately 25 feet away from the proposed bathroom area. The original plan was to hire a plumber to address this issue, but the quoted cost was a staggering $40,000 due to the extensive work required to dig through 40 feet of cement to access the pipe. Faced with this substantial expense, the clients turned to us for an alternative solution.

Our Innovative Solution: Incinerator Toilet Installation

At Oregon Interior Wall Specialists, we pride ourselves on finding creative and cost-effective solutions for our clients. After evaluating the situation, we proposed using an incinerator toilet, which would allow us to bypass the costly plumbing reroute. Our team of skilled ADU contractors designed and implemented a comprehensive solution that included framing in a new bathroom, installing all necessary plumbing and drainage, and handling all aspects of drywall, texturing, painting, and trim work.

The Transformation: From Garage to Stylish Apartment

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the work ORIWS completed:

  • Framing and Installation: We framed in the bathroom, four windows, three doors, a pantry, and a closet, as well as a kitchen wall.
  • Plumbing and Drainage: Our team installed all PEX piping and drainage systems to support the new fixtures.
  • Drywall and Finishing: We expertly installed drywall, followed by texturing and painting of the walls and doors.
  • Custom Trim Work: We custom trimmed and stained the ceiling for a polished, refined look.
  • Cabinets and Countertops: Our team installed the cabinets and cut and installed a beautiful quartz countertop.
  • Flooring: We laid down luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring for a durable and stylish finish.
  • Bathroom Installation: We installed the shower base, shower walls, tile floor, vanity mirror, and the innovative incinerator toilet.
  • Windows and Doors: We installed three doors and four windows, ensuring ample light and ventilation.
