TOP REMODELING PROJECTS AND TIPS FOR HOLIDAY HOSTING: A PROCRASTINATOR’S GUIDE

We get it. It might feel too soon for holiday remodeling tips and projects when Halloween is still everywhere, but hear us out, fellow Portlanders (or anyone else)! As your friendly neighborhood remodeling experts, we've seen firsthand how the closer we get to the holidays, the busier we get. And if you're reading this in December, don't freak out – give us a call anyway!

Picture this: It's December 20th, your in-laws just called to say they're coming for the holidays, and you look around your space and realize you’re just not satisfied with it yourself, let alone for hosting: panic mode activated!

In this guide, we'll walk you through:

Top remodeling projects to turn your home into a holiday hosting haven
Budget-friendly tips to make your remodel wallet-happy
Estimated timelines to keep your sanity intact
Quick fixes for you last-minute elves out there
Portland-specific advice to weather the holiday (and rainy) season in style
So grab your favorite beverage, and let's dive into making your home the talk of the holiday season! And keep in mind that if you're near Portland, Oregon, we can guide you through all of this, so call us at (971) 808-5151 or send us a message.

1. Create a welcoming entryway for your winter wonderland
Beautiful Holiday Mud Room Entryway Inspiration from Dixon-Reid Remodeling in Portland OregonYour entryway is the first thing guests see when they walk through your door. A well-planned remodel can help you achieve both style and functionality in this high-traffic area:

Mudroom addition: Installing a mudroom or a built-in entryway bench with cubbies can help keep coats, shoes, and bags organized and out of the way. A well-designed mudroom also adds a practical layer of organization during the colder months, ensuring that wet coats and boots don’t track through the house. Add a dog wash station so Fido’s post-walk messes can be contained!

New front door: A new front door can dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal while also enhancing security and energy efficiency. Choose a door with insulated glass panels to let in natural light while keeping out the cold.

Upgrade flooring: Install durable flooring such as tile or luxury vinyl in the entryway. These materials are both stylish and easy to clean, handling the extra wear and tear that comes with hosting during the holidays.
Project tip: If you have the space, consider adding a small closet or built-in cabinetry to store holiday decorations and extra items like blankets, slippers, and gloves for guests.

Budget tip: A fresh coat of paint and new hardware on your existing door can work wonders if a full replacement isn’t feasible. Adding a stylish doormat and some potted evergreens can also boost your entryway’s appeal.

Estimated timeline: 1-3 weeks, depending on customization.

A welcoming entryway sets the tone for the holidays and keeps your home organized and stylish. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let’s talk holiday remodeling projects and tips to get your entryway ready to greet your guests this holiday season.

As always, at DreamCon we know better than to mess with success, so O'Neill's customers can expect to receive the same superb service from the same wonderful team, which you can see in the first photo!

We are thrilled to announce that McQuiggin's Landscape has joined the DreamCon family of construction, remodeling, and home improvement businesses.

Previous owners Michael and Tamie are moving on to the next chapter of their lives after selling the business to Jason, and we wish them the best!

At DreamCon we follow the mantra: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!", so McQuiggin's customers can expect to receive the same superb landscaping service, and see all the same faces (apart from Michael and Tamie, who you might find on the golf course), plus a few new ones: that's Selene, Claire, Jason and Rob (our transition team) next to Michael in the last pic.

Don't hesitate to reach out (503.698.3732 or DM us) if you have any questions or need any landscaping!

Enjoy your well deserved vacation, Mike!

In case you're wondering what Mike is up to now that he's sold Northwest Barriers, he is taking a well-deserved vacation.

Mike's got a lot of big projects in the works, but more details on that later. For now, we just want to say that we'll all miss him and wish him well in his next adventure after decades of hard work in the barriers business!

Apart from getting to know DreamCon, our new parent company, it's business as usual here at Northwest Barriers! If you need a free estimate or if there's something else we can do to help, give us a call at 907-376-7498, email us at [email protected], or send us a direct message here on Facebook!

Here's a few more photos from our recent visit to Northwest Barriers, a brand new member of our DreamCon family of construction and remodeling companies!

They've got a truly impressive operation there in Wasilla, Alaska and have been providing fencing, guardrail, crash cushions, steel barriers, cantilever gates, highway signs and even dog kennels all over Alaska since 2008.

05/15/2024

We're extremely excited to welcome Northwest Barriers to our family of construction and remodeling companies! DreamCon has officially expanded out of Oregon into Alaska!

Northwest Barriers, LLC, was established in 2008 as a specialty contractor for fencing, guardrail, crash cushions, steel barriers, and sign installation and they have done some incredible work!

We recently flew up to Wasilla to meet and get to know the wonderful team there and of course get some paperwork signed. Here are a couple of photos from the trip. More details to come later!

Big announcement from t̴w̴o̴ one of our companies!

Hi, this is Jason Reid, I'm the owner of Dixon Remodeling and Reid Remodeling. First of all, thanks so much! If you're reading this, you've likely been our customer and/or been following our page, and that's very much appreciated!

Second, I wanted to announce that we have merged Dixon Remodeling with Reid Remodeling to become Dixon-Reid Remodeling. We’ve actually been operating them together under the same team for a while (I've actually been a part of Dixon since 1995!), but now we’re making it official.

Same top-notch service, but with new emails (.com) and a fresh look to go along with the new name. This transition will take time, so you may see the old names around for a while, but just know, they’re all us!

Have questions or need any work done? We’re here to help: send us a direct message or just give us a call at (971) 808-5151. We genuinely appreciate you being a part of our journey!

Sincerely,

Jason
