Revestimiento de cedro 


El revestimiento de cedro es una opción clásica de revestimiento, hecha de cedros, que se ha utilizado en casas desde el siglo XIX. Se puede formar en una variedad de grosores y anchuras, y se puede pintar o teñir. El cedro está disponible en muchos estilos diferentes, incluyendo bisel, tabla y listón, lengüeta y ranura, vuelta, recorte y teja.

Ventajas del revestimiento de cedro

Larga duración y duradero

El cedro tiene una excelente resistencia a la putrefacción, a las bacterias, a los hongos y al moho, lo que lo hace una madera mucho más dura y es menos probable que tenga problemas. Si proporciona la atención adecuada, su revestimiento de cedro durará muchas décadas. Es un revestimiento de bajo mantenimiento a diferencia de cualquier otra madera. El revestimiento de cedro también es resistente y resistente a problemas como la división, la hinchazón y la flexión. 

Atractivo exterior

Hay muy pocos materiales exteriores que tengan la misma calidez, belleza y atractivo natural del revestimiento de cedro. La mayoría de los propietarios prefiere este tipo de revestimiento porque es muy atractivo y se integra perfectamente con la mayoría de los fondos. 

Respetuoso del medio ambiente

Por lo general, el revestimiento de madera no se considera una opción ecológica para el exterior de su hogar. Sin embargo, la madera de cedro es una excepción porque requiere un procesamiento y tratamiento mínimos. Una vez que se completa, es hora de actualizar o reemplazar el revestimiento, ¡es completamente biodegradable! 

Proporciona aislamiento

El revestimiento de cedro es un excelente aislante y puede ahorrarle una energía considerable durante todo el año. Evita la pérdida de aire caliente durante el invierno y mantiene el aire fresco durante el verano.

Vinyl Siding


Vinyl siding has been one of the most popular choice for siding in America since the late 1950s. It is no surprise that it has been popular for so long because of it’s afforadability and durability.
Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Affordability 

Vinyl siding is typically a popular choice for homeowners because it is a very cost effective option. According to This Old House, vinyl costs about $1.60 per square foot to install compared to cedar siding which costs about 2.5 times more.   

Versatility 

Think of a color, any color – vinyl siding probably comes in that shade. If you chose to install vinyl siding on your home you have almost complete creative freedom to design your dream home. It also comes in various textures and sizes. You can install vinyl that looks just like cedar shingles or even Victorian scallops. 

Durability and Ease

Vinyl siding is one of the easiest exterior options to maintain, especially considering it does not require paint. The only thing required to maintain your siding is to hose it down and wipe it with a clean cloth. It can also withstand extreme weather conditions, moisture, heat and cold.   

Stone Veneer Homes


Stone veneer is commonly used on home exteriors as a cost effective alterantive to natural stone walls. It is also used in interiors in various places like chimneys, walls and backsplashes. Stone veneer comes in many different styles, sizes and colors making it a great option for any home.

Benefits of Stone Veneer

Cost Effective

Typically, stone veneer is 30% to 50% less of the price of natural stone and has a great return on investment. According to a 2017 Remodeling Magazine report, statistics showed that homeowners that invested in stone veneer got an average of 104.5% ROI. 

Variety in Design

Since stone veneer is essentially just cement, the design process is extensive to ensure it looks like stone. There are many different processes the veneer can go through, meaning there are countless designs and color options – there is sure to be one that suits your style! 

Longevity

Good quality stone veneer can last for quite a long time, with warrenties ranging from 30-50+ years. Just like any other house exterior material, as long as you regularly maintain the product, it will last a lifetime.  

Stucco Homes


Stucco is a type of plaster that is most commonly used on the exterior of a building but can also be used on the interior of a building as well. Stucco looks like clay or cement and is one of the oldest types of siding material in the world. In fact, stucco was widely used in ancient Greece over 1,000 years ago and is still being used today.
There are plenty of advantages for using stucco on the exterior of your home. Stucco plaster is very long lasting and extremely durable, which is why it’s such a popular option for many. But did you know stucco is fire resistant? In fact, a one-inch layer of stucco plaster applied properly could add a one-hour fire rating to the wall in which the stucco plaster is applied.
Stucco makes a great building surface that is durable, fire resistant and it can be added to just about any surface whether that be brick, wood or something else. Stucco is usually applied using two or three coats that have been applied over a metal reinforcing mesh or wood lathing.
Additionally, stucco is versatile enough that it can be customized. It can be applied smooth, rough or patterned. Beisas Legacy Construction is the leader in Stucco application within the Portland metro area and the beyond. We service Portland, Lake Oswego, Gresham and beyond. Beisas Legacy’s stucco application experts can help you select the perfect stucco plaster exterior and customization for your home. Call us today to schedule a FREE estimate.

Traditional Appeal


One of the reasons we believe in Hardie fiber cement siding is because of it’s visual versatility. Have you seen HardieShingles? Straight edge or staggered, these shingles offer an entirely different look versus HardieBoard or HardiePanel. They also come with James Hardie’s 30-year limited warranty! If you want of more traditional look for your Tudor, Cape Cod or other classically-styled home, HardieShingle is a great option!

In the old days, wooden shingles were hand-split from heartwood and finished using a draw knife to make a snug, waterproof barrier. Obviously, you can still do that. But the cost (time, money and environmental degradation,) has changed since then. Luckily, James Hardie makes HardieShingles. These are made using the same technology as all the Hardie fiber cement siding products. That means fewer trees are cut to create the siding. Since the components are cement, sand and wood fiber, HardieShingle can go to the landfill where it will biodegrade upon the end of its service life- unlike some other siding products.

Go Vertical!


If you have a more contemporary home, HardiPanel cement fiber siding may be right for you. Especially if you like the idea of a 30-year limited warranty, that your panels are manufactured using locally-sourced materials or the fact that once their useful life is over, HardiePanels biodegrade in the landfill.
Available in Stucco, Smooth, Cedarmill wood grain, and Sierra 8 wood grain finishes this versatile product is not just for modern-styled homes. HardiePanel looks great as an accent for the other Hardie cement fiber siding products.
As with all of the Hardie Siding products, these panels can be painted, are insect, flame and UV resistant and when installed by experienced professionals (like the ones at Beisa’s Legacy,) carry a limited 30-year warranty.   

Classic Lines


Some homeowners want it all. They want the value and durability of fiber cement siding, but demand more style, more detail. Their home must appear distinctly refined, similar to other houses on their block, just better. For those homeowners, only James Hardie Artisan Series premium fiber cement siding will do.
James Hardie fiber cement siding is a great product. The Artisan Series offers thicker boards, better definition of shadow lines and a thirty year warranty.
Of course you get a great ROI home improvement project done, same as the neighbor who got regular HardiePlank, you just get bragging rights too.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)



You have probably heard of a mother-in-law suite or garage conversion – the techincal term is accessory dwelling unit (ADU). They have been growing in popularity in the Portland Metro area and there’s no surprise why. According to the City of Portland, “an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a second dwelling unit created on a lot with a house, attached house or manufactured home. The second unit is created auxiliary to, and is smaller than, the main dwelling”. They can be created in many different ways – from an addition to your home, a conversion of a basement or garage or building a brand new structure in your backyard.
Not sure an ADU is for you? Here are some examples of how you could utilize your new addition:
  • Building a distraction-free office or workspace that would make working from home even better
  • Adding an additional source of income to help pay for mortgage. Countless Portlanders renting out their ADU, whether for short-term vacation rentals or long-term tenants.
  • Expanding living space for family to live in. Exactly the reason they are commonly refered to as a ‘mother-in-law suite’.
  • Some brave homeowners will even move into an ADU addition and rent out their main house, so they can downsize without giving up their property rights!

Kitchen Remodels

Beisa’s Legacy has experience, innovative ideas and is looking to be the #1 in customer service within our industry. That’s why it’s a good idea to check us out and see why many of our clients are calling us the best general contractor they have worked with. 
We can provide our experience in construction to help you design a new kitchen that is not only elegant but efficient. Kitchen remodels can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t know where to start. Maybe you are looking to create more space, more cabinet and shelving, or maybe you want to update your kitchen? Using our Design+Build process, our in-house designer can help you decide on every aspect of your new kitchen – from layout to finishes. Beisa’s Legacy is prepared to go the extra mile and do our best to ensure your happiness and confidence with your new kitchen.

  1. FUNCTION
    You want a kitchen that works well for you and your family. The reasons are individual, but may include room for two cooks, a computer station, or a walk-in pantry. Our kitchen designers can work with you to design a kitchen that addresses your needs and complements your lifestyle.

  2. INTERACTION
    A newly designed kitchen can increase your interaction with others. When you open up the kitchen to other rooms, like family rooms, you won’t feel isolated when preparing meals. You can be in your kitchen and still be part of the action. A new island can be a comfortable place for late-night chats with teens.

  3. SAFETY
    Unfortunately, many household accidents occur in the kitchen. You can upgrade the safety of this much-used room to reduce the risks of accidents and make it as safe as possible. For example, your kitchen designer can discuss layouts with you that will lessen the risk of bumping into others with hot food or water. Countertop heights can be modified to reduce back strain. Green materials can be utilized to improve indoor air quality.

  4. STORAGE & ORGANIZATION
    A well-designed kitchen remodel can greatly increase your storage space and ability to keep organized. More importantly, our kitchen designers can incorporate the right mix of storage solutions that are uniquely important to you and your family.

  5. ENTERTAINING
    Many people love entertaining, but find that everyone always ends up in their too small kitchen. Sometimes the kitchen is too small and an addition will make a world of difference. Other times the kitchen is just poorly laid out and you can remodel within the existing footprint to achieve your goals. You’ll be excited to entertain and show off your beautiful new kitchen!

  6. RESALE
    According to realtors, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house to potential buyers. A beautiful kitchen can often mean the difference between a quick sale and a home that lingers on the market. Remodeling Magazine’s “2007 Cost vs. Value Report” shows that a kitchen remodel can return 86% of it’s cost upon resale. Meanwhile, you get to live in and enjoy a beautiful kitchen while you are there for only 14% of the cost!

  7. STYLE
    You enjoy beautiful things and appreciate good design and you want your kitchen to reflect that about you. Our kitchen designers can work with you to identify your style and sort through the extensive array of materials and finishes to design a kitchen that uniquely expresses you.
