Homeowners across Portland are upgrading their kitchens faster than ever, and the humble sink has become the centerpiece of these remodels. Whether you are replacing a scratched stainless basin or designing a statement workstation sink, the decisions you make today will shape your daily cooking routine for years. That is why countless Portland families rely on CountBricks for clear pricing, precise material lists, and a stress-free installation timeline.

• Water conservation—critical in eco-minded Portland neighborhoods
• Long-term maintenance costs
• Future resale value in a competitive real-estate market

• Workstation composite: Integrated accessories that turn the sink into a prep station—ideal for small urban kitchens
