General Contractor in Salem, Oregon
Salem is a short drive south of our Gervais base. We bring licensed roofing, remodeling, flooring and painting work to homes across the capital city.
Home projects in Oregon's capital
Salem is Oregon's capital and its third-largest city, home to roughly 175,000 people and sitting on both sides of the Willamette River in Marion and Polk counties. It is also close: Gervais is a short drive up I-5, so Frank General Contractor can reach most Salem neighborhoods quickly for walkthroughs and job-site visits.
Salem's housing is varied. Near downtown, the Grant neighborhood and the historic districts around Bush's Pasture Park hold early-twentieth-century homes with plaster walls, older wiring and original wood siding. Northeast neighborhoods such as Northgate are dominated by mid-century ranch homes, while South Salem and the West Salem hills add sloped lots and newer construction. Each calls for a different approach to roofs, floors and remodels.
We work on Salem roofs, bathrooms, floors and paint, with the same single crew handling each project from start to finish.
Services we bring to Salem
Shingle Roofing · Roofing
Mid-century ranch homes in Northeast Salem and Northgate often wear aging asphalt roofs that are due for replacement.
Flooring · Remodeling
Older Salem homes with worn carpet or damaged boards are good candidates for durable, moisture-tolerant plank flooring.
Interior Painting · Painting
Plaster and patched drywall in historic homes call for careful prep before paint.
Bathroom Remodeling · Remodeling
Compact original bathrooms in Salem bungalows and ranch homes are ideal for updates with modern waterproofing.
Local considerations for contracting in Salem
Historic and older homes
Neighborhoods like Grant and the Gaiety Hill area near Bush's Pasture Park have homes built long before 1978, so lead-safe work practices and older materials deserve attention.
Hills and tree cover
South and West Salem include sloped lots with tall conifers and oaks, which shade roofs, drop debris and make access more difficult.
City of Salem permits
Work inside city limits runs through the City of Salem's permitting process, which we check before structural, plumbing or electrical changes.
Rain and moisture
Salem sees about 40 inches of rain a year, so roofing, siding and bathroom projects need careful waterproofing and flashing.
