General Contractor in Portland, Oregon
Frank travels north from Gervais into the Portland area for remodels, exteriors and repairs, bringing the same licensed crew he sends to every job.
Remodeling and repairs across the Portland metro
Portland covers three counties' worth of neighborhoods, from early-twentieth-century streetcar suburbs on the east side to newer subdivisions on the edges. Many homes here are Craftsman bungalows, foursquares and mid-century ranches, and nearly all of them have been remodeled at least once, often in ways that left surprises behind the walls.
Neighborhoods like Sellwood-Moreland, Laurelhurst and Montavilla are known for 1910s to 1940s homes with wood siding, original windows and small, tightly planned kitchens and bathrooms. Those houses reward careful work: older framing is rarely square, wiring may be dated and bathrooms were often added later into whatever space was available. Frank has built his business on exactly that kind of work.
Frank travels up to the Portland area for projects, with kitchen and bathroom remodels, painting and deck work among the most common requests. If you are in the metro and want a licensed contractor who answers the phone, call (971) 239-2540.

Local considerations for contracting in Portland
Older housing stock
Houses built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and older homes can have knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized plumbing that surfaces during remodels.
Permits through the city
Work inside Portland city limits goes through the city's permitting office, and requirements can vary from adjacent suburbs. We check what applies to your address.
Tight lots and street parking
Urban lots mean limited staging space for materials and dumpsters, so we plan deliveries and cleanup to keep the job tidy.
Basements and moisture
Many Portland homes have basements or crawlspaces where moisture, drainage and ventilation matter for floors and finishes above.
