Camas lots are generous by Clark County standards, which usually means you can build out rather than up — but many of them are also sloped, treed, or near a critical area, and that is where addition budgets go wrong. Serden Group starts with a site and feasibility review, then carries engineered plans, City of Camas permitting, foundation, framing and finishes under one contract. Locally trusted since 2015.
On Prune Hill and around Lacamas Lake, the deciding factor is rarely the floor plan — it is grade, soil and drainage. A downhill addition may need stepped footings or a partial daylight basement; an uphill one needs a retaining strategy and a real plan for where water goes. Get that wrong and the foundation line alone can absorb tens of thousands. We bring a structural engineer in during feasibility, before you have committed to a design that the site will not support economically.
Ground-floor expansions on the larger Grass Valley and Camas Meadows lots. Primary suites on Prune Hill. Second stories downtown where lots are tighter. Garage conversions and ADUs. Our in-house crew frames and finishes, with licensed, vetted engineering, electrical and plumbing partners scheduled around them.
Camas lots usually have room to build out — kitchen, family room and dining expansions on grade.
Main-level suites with ensuite bath and walk-in closet, popular on Prune Hill and Grass Valley.
For the tighter downtown Camas lots. Engineered load path, shear walls, new stair, roof rebuild.
Detached and above-garage units — larger Camas lots make separate dwellings genuinely practical.
We walk the grade, check your zone’s setbacks, lot coverage and height limits, and flag critical areas, steep slope and tree requirements that apply to your parcel. On sloped lots we bring the structural engineer in at this stage so the foundation strategy is priced before you fall in love with a plan the site cannot carry.
Floor plans, elevations and stamped structural drawings, then submittal and plan-review management with the City of Camas — or the Clark County Permit Center if your address is unincorporated. Geotechnical input, drainage detail and any critical-area review are handled as part of the package, not billed to you as surprises.
Excavation and footings, framing, roof tie-in, mechanicals, then finishes — with your kitchen and bathrooms kept in service and site access planned so equipment does not tear up the yard it has to cross. One project manager and a punch-list walkthrough before final inspection.
Camas, WA homeowners choose Serden Group for expert guidance and a stress-free home addition — from design to final walkthrough.
Great experience working with this company. They were professional, responsive, and the quality of their work was solid. They even took the time to treat me to lunch and go over the project details, which I appreciated. Would recommend.
The SERDEN Group did a complete remodel of our two upstairs bathrooms. Every step of the way Dennis, and his team, were communicative, kind, timely, and productive. They worked diligently, caring about the impact of having workers in your home. Everyone was friendly and attended to our creative ideas for the bathrooms. In the end we have two amazing new bathrooms. Our family is grateful for SERDEN and are wonderfully reminded daily of their excellent work. Thank you!
I recently hired Serden Group for a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of their work is outstanding — everything from the tile installation to the cabinetry and finishes looks beautiful and well-crafted. They completed the project on time and within budget, which is rare to find these days. I highly recommend Serden Group to anyone looking for top-quality remodeling work. They truly exceeded my expectations!
I had a very pleasant experience with SERDEN GROUP company. They remodeled my bathroom, and I am completely satisfied with the result. Fast and high-quality work. Denis answered all of my questions, suggested great solutions for the renovation, and delivered everything he promised. I 100% recommend them.
Had the pleasure to work with this team on a project for one of their clients. They followed through with every request from start to finish and we can proudly say that, they really put their best foot forward with all their work. Our team would love to continue to work together for future jobs!
Camas gives you more room to build out than almost anywhere else in Clark County. It also gives you terrain, trees and water — three things that decide an addition budget before the floor plan does.
A flat lot takes conventional footings and a stem wall. A Prune Hill lot with meaningful fall across the building pad may need stepped footings, taller stem walls, engineered retaining, or a partial daylight basement — which is also an opportunity, since that space can become finished square footage for comparatively little more. Either way the number belongs in your feasibility estimate, not in a change order.
Parcels near Lacamas Lake, wetlands, streams or steep slopes can trigger additional review, buffers and engineered drainage. Tree and canopy requirements may affect where the addition can physically go. None of this is a dealbreaker, but all of it needs to be identified before design rather than discovered in plan review, which is exactly what the site visit is for.
Because Camas lots are typically larger than their Vancouver equivalents, most Camas homeowners have room inside their setbacks to expand on grade — and building out is generally cheaper per square foot than building up. That means a primary suite, an expanded kitchen and family room, or a ground-floor bedroom for aging in place is often achievable without touching the existing roof structure at all.
Addresses inside Camas city limits permit through the city; nearby addresses in unincorporated Clark County go through the county Permit Center, with different forms and different review. We confirm which applies to your parcel, along with your zone’s setbacks, coverage and height limits, before quoting. Requirements change, so we verify them current on every project.
If your parcel turns out to be constrained enough that an addition stops making financial sense, we will tell you at feasibility and price the alternative — often a whole-home remodel that reworks the space you already have.
From Prune Hill and Lacamas Shores to Grass Valley, Camas Meadows, Fern Prairie and downtown — Serden Group builds additions across Camas and east Clark County. We know which parcels sit inside city limits, where slope and critical-area review will apply, and what the review actually takes.
