About Wood Village, OR — Multnomah County
Wood Village has one of the most distinctive origin stories in the Portland metro. In 1942, with the United States at war and the Reynolds Aluminum Factory in nearby Troutdale ramping up production for the war effort, a developer built 183 homes and 264 temporary apartment units on 50 acres of former farmland in a matter of months. It was one of Oregon's first planned communities — designed from scratch with streets, utilities, community facilities, and a complete neighborhood structure — all to house factory workers who needed to be close to the plant. The original homes from that era are still standing in the Original Village section today, now over 80 years old.
Wood Village incorporated in 1951 and has remained compact. At less than one square mile, it is among the smallest incorporated cities in Multnomah County — but it sits in a strategically convenient location. I-84 and I-205 provide direct access to downtown Portland (16 miles west), the Columbia River Gorge, and Mount Hood National Forest.
-
The city borders Gresham to the south, Troutdale to the east, and the Columbia River corridor to the north. The Multnomah County reference library for Wood Village directs building permit inquiries to the city's own Building Department at City Hall.
The Reynolds Aluminum plant that gave birth to the city closed in 2000, and Wood Village has since evolved into a bedroom community serving the broader east metro. Its compact size, central location on I-84, and existing housing stock make it a practical place to live for workers commuting to Portland, Gresham, or the Gorge-adjacent industrial corridor.

What Working on a Wood Village Home Actually Requires
Wood Village's median construction year of approximately 1955 means more than half of all homes in the city were built before 1978 — the federal threshold for lead-based paint regulation. As one of the oldest planned communities in Oregon, Wood Village has among the highest concentrations of pre-1978 homes in the Portland metro. Any contractor disturbing painted surfaces on a pre-1978 Wood Village 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
⚠️ Before Hiring Any Contractor for Pre-1978 Work in Wood Village
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.
Moisture, Dry Rot, and Wood Village's Housing Stock
Wood Village sits at the entrance to the Columbia River Gorge wind corridor, and the combination of sustained wind and Gorge-enhanced precipitation creates accelerated exterior wear that is more pronounced here than in comparably aged homes just a few miles west. The original 1942–1951 homes in the founding neighborhood are now over 80 years old — the oldest housing stock in Multnomah County's east metro. Original or early-replacement windows, siding, and roofing on these homes have often been through multiple wet seasons beyond their designed lifespan. Gorge wind also lifts roofing shingles, compromises flashing details, and drives rain horizontally into siding joints and window frames in ways that calmer-climate homes don't experience

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 Wood Village 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.
