NOTE ON ACCURACY: "NorthBank Remodel" is a working placeholder brand name. The phone number is confirmed;
email, physical address, WA L&I registration number, insurance amounts, reviews,
years in business, and project counts are placeholders pending owner confirmation
and are flagged as such on the site. Do not present placeholder NAP as verified.
We serve Washington only — Portland/Oregon is referenced only as a cross-border
sales-tax context, never as a service area.

## Region hubs (/regions)
Four regional service-area pages grouping the cities for geo authority:
/regions/{vancouver-metro, camas-washougal-gorge, north-clark-county,
lewis-river-cowlitz}.

## Hyperlocal service pages
The site generates /{city}/{service} pages pairing each location with the core
money services (kitchen, bathroom, whole-home, additions, ADU, siding, James Hardie,
windows, entry doors, exterior painting, decks, covered decks, dry rot & siding
repair) using only factual local detail — no fabricated statistics.

## Guides (cost & planning) — /guides (39 guides, all -vancouver-wa)
Cost guides (kitchen, bathroom, ADU, siding, deck — each with a Washington
sales-tax-on-labor-and-materials section), a 15-guide bathroom cluster (showers,
waterproofing, ventilation/CFM sizing, materials, accessibility, permits, timeline),
an 8-guide kitchen cluster (layout, cabinets, countertops, lighting, flooring,
open-concept, permits, timeline), deck guides (deck vs. patio, covered options,
rain-ready materials), siding guides (PNW materials, rain-screen, rot signs), and a
5-guide James Hardie cluster (HZ5 explained, vs. LP SmartSide, ColorPlus colors,
installation standards, cost & value). Cost figures are broad, clearly-labeled
ballpark ranges (never a quote); the only binding number is a fixed-price proposal.

## Resource pillars — /resources (research-backed topic hubs)
Long-form authority pages connecting building science to the work and linking to the
related guides, services, and cities (hub-and-spoke). Sources cited include WA L&I,
the WA State Building Code Council / WSEC, Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies,

## Company & trust
/company/{about, process, service-standards, licenses-insurance, warranty}. Washington
registers contractors through L&I (registration number + surety bond + liability
insurance) — there is no state contractor "license"; the registration number is a
placeholder until the owner supplies it. Written workmanship warranty. Reviews page
(/reviews) uses honest "new brand" framing with no fabricated ratings.

## Financing — /financing
/financing plus /financing/options, /financing/how-it-works, and /financing/faqs.
Honest framing: we are a contractor, not a lender — no rate claims, no guaranteed
approvals; the lender owns every credit decision.

## Washington / Pacific Northwest expertise referenced sitewide
Washington L&I registration; Washington State Energy Code (WSEC); statewide ADU law
(HB 1337); marine (Zone 4C) climate — rain, moisture management, exhaust-fan CFM
sizing, rain-screen walls, dry-rot prevention; Columbia River Gorge wind for
east-county exteriors; James Hardie HardieZone HZ5; Cascadia seismic context;
jurisdiction-specific permitting across Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania counties.

## Honesty commitments
No fabricated reviews, ratings, license/registration numbers, insurance amounts,
project counts, years in business, or precise prices. Cost content is qualified,
ballpark, and non-binding. As a new brand we make no project-count or years-in-
business claims.
