Last summer,
the Home Builders
Foundation, which
acts as the charitable
arm for the Home
Builders Association of
Metropolitan Portland
(HBA) and the Professional Remodelers
Organization (PRO), completed a two-
year labor of love at the Cordero House in
Tigard.
The house is operated by Janus Youth
Programs and offers intensive supervision,
residential services, mental health services
and educational support to at-risk boys —
ranging in age from 14 to 19 years — and
their families.
The full-scale remodel included a
complete tear-out, new infrastructure and
durable finishes that portrayed a non-
institutional feel. The thoughtful design
incorporated creation of a large multi-
purpose family treatment and media room,
new kitchen and dining areas, increased
storage, upgraded appliances, expanded
rear and side porch areas to accommodate
new therapist offices and updated and
expanded bathrooms.
New, private state-of-the-art showers
and dressing areas were paramount to the
livability of the home. The original laundry
center in the basement was relocated
upstairs to the main bedroom dorm area.
An estimated $770,000 was dedicated to
the renovation, with a whopping $350,000
of savings from donations of labor and
materials. This saved Janus Youth Programs
precious operating funds.
“More than 90 businesses and 380
industry professionals are responsible
for this grand testament to our industry’s
resilience and generosity,” said Jim Feild of
Progressive Builders Northwest, who acted
as builder captain throughout the course of
construction.
The completed renovations moved
the Cordero House into the 21st century,
and the extensive involvement of the
Professional Remodelers Organization
showed the industry’s generosity and
commitment to helping those less
fortunate.
