About Vancouver, WA — Oregon's Neighbor Across the Columbia
Vancouver is an incorporated city in Clark County, Washington, located on the north bank of the Columbia River directly north of Portland, Oregon. It had a population of 190,915 at the 2020 Census, making it the fourth-most populous city in Washington. Founded in 1825 and incorporated in 1857, Vancouver is the oldest American city in the Pacific Northwest and serves as the county seat of Clark County. The city was originally established around Fort Vancouver, a Hudson's Bay Company fur trading outpost.
Vancouver is part of the Portland–Vancouver metropolitan area. Many Vancouver residents commute to Portland across the Columbia River via the Interstate Bridge (I-5) or the Glenn Jackson Bridge (I-205). As of the 2020 Census, the median household income in Vancouver was $67,462, and the median age was 37.8 years. The median home value is approximately $479,800 (City-Data, 2024 estimate).

What Working on a Vancouver, WA Home Actually Requires
Vancouver, WA, was incorporated in 1857, and the city has a diverse and aging housing stock — from historic homes in established east Vancouver neighborhoods to postwar ranches and newer construction. Homes built before 1978 are subject to the federal EPA Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule for any work that disturbs painted surfaces, including siding replacement, window installation, and dry rot repair. VResh is EPA Lead-Safe Certified and provides written documentation on every qualifying project.
Lead Paint — Present in Most Pre-1978 Homes
⚠️ Before Hiring Any Contractor for Pre-1978 Work in Vancouver
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.
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.
Washington State vs. Oregon: What's Different
Work in Vancouver, WA, is subject to Washington State law, not Oregon law. This means: (1) contractors must hold a Washington State contractor license, not just an Oregon CCB license; (2) building permits go through the City of Vancouver Community Development, not through Oregon's permit systems; and (3) Washington State's building codes apply, which differ in some respects from Oregon's. VResh holds both the Washington State Contractor License (#VRESHCL776ND) and the Oregon CCB License (#241979).

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 Vancouver 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 |
(503) 272-6436 — Call or Text, Available 24/7
We answer calls and texts at any hour. For storm damage, active leaks, or structural emergencies, calling directly is the fastest path to a response.
