Home Remodeling in Longview, WA
Longview was built in the 1920s as a planned company town for the Long-Bell Lumber Company, and its historic Old West Side neighborhood still reflects that original design. We remodel Longview's period homes and its newer residential areas alike, with every exterior project built around Pacific Northwest rain and moisture.

Longview is unusual among Southwest Washington cities in that it was built as a single planned community in the 1920s by the Long-Bell Lumber Company, complete with a designed civic core and residential districts. The Old West Side historic district holds 1920s Tudor, Craftsman, and period-revival homes with original detailing and, often, original wiring, plumbing, and single-pane windows that reward careful modernization. The nearby St. Helens neighborhood adds a similar mix of early-to-mid-1900s homes, while the Highlands area to the east brings newer postwar and later construction. Across all of these eras, Longview's setting near the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers makes moisture management and rot prevention a constant focus of our exterior and structural work.
