About Hillsboro, OR — Washington County
Hillsboro is the county seat of Washington County and Oregon's fifth-largest city. Its position at the center of the Silicon Forest — the Pacific Northwest's technology corridor — has made it one of the fastest-growing cities in the Portland metro for four decades. Intel's three major campuses (Ronler Acres, Jones Farm, and Hawthorn Farm) collectively employ approximately 16,000 workers in Hillsboro, and a broader cluster of semiconductor, biotech, and software companies makes the city a genuine tech hub, not just a bedroom community. The MAX Blue Line provides a direct connection to downtown Portland, and Hillsboro's own downtown has undergone significant revitalization in recent years.
-
The housing stock reflects Hillsboro's growth trajectory. Downtown contains the city's oldest homes — some from the late nineteenth century — alongside newer condos and apartments. The nationally recognized Orenco Station neighborhood, built around the MAX stop in the late 1990s and early 2000s, introduced walkable, mixed-use new urbanism to the Portland market. The technology corridor neighborhoods around Jackson School, AmberGlen, and the Intel campuses are dense with 1990s and 2000s single-family homes that are entering their first major renovation cycle. South Hillsboro is the current frontier, with thousands of new units under construction on former farmland.
Hillsboro's proximity to the Coast Range gives it a wetter and cooler microclimate than inner Portland — meaningful for exterior construction decisions. The Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve, Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals, and the Hillsboro Hops baseball stadium anchor a civic identity that extends well beyond the tech industry.

What Working on a Hillsboro Home Actually Requires
Hillsboro's median construction year of approximately 1990 means roughly half of all homes predate that year — and a meaningful share falls within the 1978 federal lead paint threshold, particularly in the downtown core, older Hillsboro neighborhoods, and the first phases of Orenco Station. Any contractor disturbing painted surfaces on a pre-1978 Hillsboro home must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified. VResh is certified and provides written 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 Battle Ground
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.
Moisture, Dry Rot, and Hillsboro's Housing Stock
Hillsboro's Coast Range proximity creates a measurably wetter microclimate than central Portland — more annual rainfall and more persistent cloud cover through the long wet season. For exterior construction this matters: homes in Hillsboro accumulate moisture exposure faster than comparable homes just 10 miles east, which accelerates failure at siding joints, window sills, roof penetrations, and any location where flashing has been compromised. Homes in the Orenco Station area and the 1990s–2000s tech corridor neighborhoods are now at the age where these failures become visible and need correction. VResh addresses the moisture source before installing new material.

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 Hillsboro 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.
| Factor | VResh Construction | Typical Competitor |
|---|---|---|
| Owner involvement | Vlad personally on every project | Owner often not present on-site |
| EPA Lead-Safe Certified | ✅ Current — documentation provided | ❌ Most are not — always verify |
| Dry rot approach | Find source, fix structure, then install | Surface install without repair is common |
| 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 |
