General Contractor in Portland

Local General Contractor Expertise

In Portland, we handle everything from framing and custom homes to additions and ADU construction. Our general contractor services cover new builds, remodels, and complex projects. We work with your vision and local building codes to deliver on time and on budget.

Framing in Portland

Proper framing sets the foundation for every project in Portland. Whether you're building new or adding on, we nail the structure, walls, and roof system to code. Skilled framing prevents future settling, water damage, and costly repairs.

Portland's moisture climate demands careful framing details. We install proper ventilation layers, moisture barriers, and structural connections that protect your investment for decades.

Custom Homes in Portland

Building your dream home means managing dozens of moving pieces. We coordinate subcontractors, inspections, and material deliveries so your custom build stays on schedule. From permit to final walkthrough, we own every phase.

Portland neighborhoods—from Pearl to inner Southeast—have unique setbacks, parking, and neighborhood standards. We know what the city requires and what your neighbors expect.

Home Additions in Portland

Adding space to your Portland home is smarter than moving. We design and build additions that match your existing structure, maintain your home's character, and add real square footage. Kitchen extensions, bedrooms, bathrooms—we handle the whole job.

Portland's mature neighborhoods often have shallow lot lines and shared walls. We navigate tight constraints, work with existing electrical and plumbing, and pull permits that satisfy the city.

ADU Construction in Portland

Accessory dwelling units unlock rental income and provide flexible housing. Portland allows ADUs on many residential lots, and we specialize in compliant designs. From a backyard cottage to an upper-floor unit, we handle zoning, permits, and construction.

Portland's ADU rules are detailed but favorable. We ensure proper setbacks, egress, parking, and utility separation so your unit passes inspection and works for your family or tenants.

New Construction in Portland

Starting from bare land means unlimited design freedom—and complex logistics. We manage site prep, utilities, foundation work, and building systems from day one. Every new construction project in Portland requires careful permit coordination and ongoing inspection.

We build new homes that meet current energy codes, drainage standards, and neighborhood compatibility. Your new home will be modern, efficient, and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do general contractor projects typically take in Portland?

Timeline depends on scope: framing alone takes weeks, full custom homes take months, additions vary by complexity. Permits add 2-4 weeks. We give you a detailed schedule upfront.

Do I need a permit for my Portland construction project?

Most new construction, additions, and structural changes require Portland permits. We evaluate your project and pull what's needed. Unpermitted work creates problems when you sell.

Can you build a small ADU on my Portland lot?

Many Portland lots allow ADUs under current zoning rules. We assess setbacks, parking, utilities, and egress to confirm feasibility. A quick site visit tells us if it works.

How do you handle changes during construction?

We document all changes in writing and adjust cost and timeline accordingly. Changes mid-project cost more, so we encourage decisions early when materials can still be ordered.

What warranties do you provide on your Portland construction work?

We warrant our workmanship and coordinate warranties from material suppliers and subcontractors. Details are spelled out in your contract.
