About Cedar Mill, OR
Cedar Mill is a census-designated place and an unincorporated community in Washington County, Oregon — part of the Portland metropolitan area. As of the 2020 Census, the community population was 17,259. Cedar Mill is situated north of U.S. Route 26 and west of the Willamette Stone, approximately 8 miles west of downtown Portland. The community received its name from a sawmill on Cedar Mill Creek, which cut Western Redcedars that were once the dominant tree in the area. The mill's pond was near the intersection of 119th and Cornell Road; the mill itself ceased operating in 1891, and the Cedar Mill name was established in 1874 with the opening of a U.S. post office.

Because Cedar Mill is unincorporated, it has no city government and no city permit office. Building permits for construction work in Cedar Mill go through Washington County Building Services — not through a city. Cedar Mill is served by the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District and the Beaverton School District. The community is close to the Nike World Campus and Intel's Hillsboro campuses, and its proximity to the major tech corridor has made it one of the more affluent unincorporated communities in Washington County.

What Working on a Cedar Mill Home Actually Requires
Cedar Mill's housing stock spans several decades of suburban development. Homes built before 1978 — which exist in the older sections of the community — are subject to the federal EPA Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule. Any contractor disturbing painted surfaces on these homes must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified. VResh is certified and provides written compliance documentation on every qualifying project.
Lead Paint — Present in Most Pre-1978 Homes
Federal law — the EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule — requires contractors who disturb painted surfaces on homes built before 1978 to hold EPA Lead-Safe Certification, follow specific containment and work practice protocols, and provide written documentation. Violations can reach $37,500 per day per violation.
VResh Construction is EPA Lead-Safe Certified. We follow full RRP protocols on every pre-1978 project: proper containment, wet work practices to suppress dust, thorough cleanup procedures, and written compliance documentation at project completion. As VResh's own siding page notes: "Most Portland siding contractors are not" EPA RRP certified. Always ask any contractor to show their current certification before work on any pre-1978 home begins.
⚠️ Before Hiring Any Contractor for Pre-1978 Work in Cedar Mill
Ask directly: "Are you currently EPA Lead-Safe Certified under the RRP Rule?" Then ask to see the certificate.
A contractor without current certification cannot legally disturb painted surfaces on a pre-1978 home, cannot provide the required compliance documentation, and exposes your family to lead dust contamination.
VResh Construction holds current EPA Lead-Safe Certification and provides written documentation on every qualifying project.

Oregon's Wet Climate and Cedar Mill's Older Homes
Cedar Mill's older housing stock — like all pre-1980s homes in the Portland area — has been exposed to Oregon's sustained rainfall for decades. Dry rot at siding bottom courses, window corners, fascia boards, and deck attachments is a consistent finding during exterior renovation work. Cedar Mill Creek and the area's mature tree canopy mean some properties have higher ambient moisture levels than more open suburban neighborhoods. VResh addresses the moisture source before installing new material — not after.
Building Permits — Washington County, Not a City
Because Cedar Mill is unincorporated, building permits for structural work are issued by Washington County Building Services — not by a city building department. The county's permit and inspections contact: phone 503-846-3470, email lutbldg@washingtoncountyor.gov. In-person lobby hours: Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. — closed to in-person services on Fridays, though most services are available online, by phone, or by mail seven days a week. The county uses ProjectDox for electronic plan review submittals.
VResh handles the Washington County permit process on your behalf for every project that requires one.

What Makes VResh Construction Different
You Work Directly With the Owner — Every Time
VResh Construction is not a franchise and not a sales organization that passes your project to unknown subcontractors. Founder Vlad started in construction at 16 years old and founded VResh in 2022. When you call, Vlad answers. When our crew arrives, it is Vlad or Roman — who has served as VResh's in-house project manager from the beginning and has worked alongside Vlad for 16 years. You know exactly who is coming to your Cedar Mill home, and that person is directly accountable to the founder.
We Fix the Problem — Not Just the Surface
As VResh's homepage states directly: "We don't cover up problems. We find the moisture source, fix the structural damage underneath, and reinstall with the flashing, clearances, and technique that makes the work last." This matters on every job — and on older homes it matters most.
Mostly In-House Crew — Not Rotating Subcontractors
The majority of VResh's work is performed by its own team. When additional capacity is needed, it is family members and tradespeople Vlad has worked with for years. The quality of work does not shift because a different subcontractor showed up that week.
Interior and Exterior — One Company, One Warranty
VResh handles both sides of the wall — exterior renovation (siding, windows, roofing, doors, dry rot, gutters, decks) and interior renovation (kitchen, bathroom, painting, drywall, trim). One company, one workmanship warranty, one point of accountability.

| Milgard Warranty Service | ✅ Authorized provider | Not disclosed by most |
| Roofing certifications | CertainTeed, Owens Corning & Malarkey | Certifications rarely disclosed |
| Interior + exterior scope | ✅ Both — one team, one warranty | Usually one trade only |
| Crew consistency | Mostly in-house + long-term partners | Rotating subcontractors common |
| 24/7 availability | ✅ Stated — storm emergencies | Standard business hours typical |
| Workmanship warranty | 5–10 years, written, per project | Terms often unstated |
| Written estimates | ✅ Line-item detail before work starts | Verbal quotes common at lower end |
