Constraction reviews in Portland, Oregon

Western Oregon Builders did a few different projects for me including a new roof, am awesome backyard patio/fire pit and new iron railings. In each case they were prompt, did what they said they were going to do and the quality of work was great.

These guys were great. It turned out not to be a simple replace the siding job. I had a lot of damage. They addressed all dry rot, repaired framing and took steps to ensure I won't have this kind of problem in the future. Very professional and they clearly knew what they were doing. I did refer my neighbors to them and would recommend them to anyone else.

WOB did a wonderful job remodeling our '70 kitchen. It's amazing..the quality of work and craftsmanship is excellent.

They promised a start time.....told me how long it would take...and what it would cost... and they kept their promise.....My wife couldn't be happier..... Happy wife...happy life :)

Very disappointed in this company. Had their representative Jeremy over to give me a quote on a remodel to include a new bathroom. He was very excited about the project, said they could start in 2 -3 months and he offered numerous suggestions for making the project better.
He invited me to stop by the office to discuss the bid and pick out tiles and items for the bathroom. HOWEVER...15 minutes before the appointment at the office he called and said the bid was not ready. He had no idea what the project would estimate at and declared that they would not be able to even think about this project for at least two years. Totally blew me off. I asked him to send me an estimate and I have never heard back from him. This company in my opinion is unprofessional, lying, dishonest, untrustworthy and one to be avoided at all costs.

And your reply puts all of your excuses as my fault which shows how unprofessional you are. You stated you could start this project within 6 months. You came by and inspected the property. I was ready to commit to the project. Yet you now say it's an "unprecedented time? If you are not able to do the work why are you going out and trying to find more work? You wasted my time. Start taking responsibility for your actions and be responsible and professional.

Alex and crew did an extraordinary job on our house. We remodeled several rooms and a deck. The craftsmanship was excellent and the price was fair. Would use Western Oregon Builders again.

Alex and his Western Oregon Builders team are not only contractors, but builders with imagination. Alex is enthusiastic about any type of job that we asked him to do at our wedding venue The Troutdale House over the past 10 years. From large garden arbors and trellises, Irish inspired bar, vintage Romanian underground wine cellar to our newest massive lodge expansion on the East wing with a garage underneath. He has the right tools and vehicles for a large scale construction or for a small ADU addition in your back yard that requires a very small excavator to fit through your side gate. Seriously, after each job, Alex, my wife and I would sit back with tears in our eyes admiring his newest masterpiece. Thank you Alex and WOB!!!

I had small remodel of a window replaced by french doors, and Alex and his crew were fantastic. Alex and his team are friendly and focused, and the work is top notch. I'm looking forward to working with them on more extensive projects in the future. Highly recommend them.

We had Western Oregon Builders replace our roof and install two large skylights in our living room. Alex was great to work with, and we were impressed by his attention to detail and the professional, clear communication from everyone at WOB. The job was completed on time and looked great, and they even did a couple extra touch-ups to our existing flashings to make me happy. One particularly rainy day, a few months later, we had a leak; worried and upset, I contacted WOB and Alex was out within an hour to assess the cause. It turned out likely to be caused by leaves we had unknowingly allowed to accumulate above one of the skylights. Even though that wasn't their fault, Alex had someone out on New Year's Day to do some more checking and adding some improvements to help with this problem in the future (plus, we will keep the leaves off!). I can't say enough good things about the integrity of this company and their dedication to their work.

Western Oregon Builders rocks and here is why: The company has integrity, good workmanship, extremely skilled workers, is reliable, trustworthy, does work on time and within the given budget. I hired WOB to build a vacation rental home at the Oregon Coast. The entire process from design, budgeting and bidding, excavating, building and picking out material was a smooth process. I deal a lot with construction in my job and I have never experienced a smoother construction process than with WOB. Part of building my house was a huge excavation job as my property was on coastal, sandy sloped terrain. WOB did an amazing job excavating and preparing the site for building. The owner of WOB, Alex, is a man with integrity. I had an extremely tight budget and Alex totally stuck to the bid, even though we encountered some unexpected things on my property that we had no way of knowing at the time of bidding. I actually think that Alex ate some of the expenses to protect my budget. His company did the job extremely well with great quality workmanship and within timelines. WOB is extremely good in consulting about materials. The house turned out so much better than I had visioned it. It is a vacation rental and my guests totally love it. It's completely booked now and people consistently comment on the well built, attractive house. Alex has a talent to consult about high quality material, that is attractive and saves you a ton of money. He really made this house a success. WOB is my go-to contract. They're the only ones that I'll work with. I highly recommend WOB for excavation, building, remodeling and pretty up your home. You won't regret it. I promise!

Great experience compared to previous contractor. We had a complex project that included addition of garage, new fantastic patio with cover unlike anything else, new roof, chimney repairs, tie in new and old siding, some electrical and plumbing to boot. All came together very nicely with a look that "this was there all along". Now finding other things we want WOB to do around our home.

Attention to budget and design details; Alex and Beate had great ideas to achieve our wants within our budget followed by work done with attention to details down to the clean up at the end of every day (to our pleasure and our picky HOA).

At first we were reluctant to wait for the work to be done but our patience paid off and we could not be happier. What was our is has now become "Our Home".
We highly recommend Alex and WOB Team. Happy to share with you in person if you like!

Amazing job all the way around. We built an ADU attached to our main home. It’s a huge undertaking, starting from the architectural aspect all the way to completion. Beate is the architect and Alex the builder. Brother/sister team. I would not recommend doing it any other way, or with any other company. You cannot imagine all of the moving parts, they walked us through it seamlessly. Starting with design, permitting, construction, they handled it all. We are so pleased with the entire project that we are looking at another build with them. My wife has a designers eye, details matter. Everyone on the project worked closely with her ensuring all her needs were met. Things change along the way, they pivot so that our build is exactly what we envisioned. Alex and the team are professional and work very hard, regardless of the conditions! We broke ground in October, they worked through the winter! Great company, you cannot go wrong working with them!

We contracted with WOB to install a new roof on our home. It was a complete removal of the old roof (too many layers) and installation of a new roof. The work was done quickly and with quality. We had some trouble with the contractors (mussing up neighbors new paint job, not totally cleaning up after the job, ruining a new bush in the yard), but the team at WOB was super responsive to our concerns and took care of all them right away. Great service, great communication.

Western Oregon Builders did a wonderful job converting my garage to an ADU. Alex and Beate worked with me every step of the way to design, permit and construct a beautiful one bedroom home. The travertine tiled bathroom and custom-made cabinetry are especially striking. I appreciate the quality of their work and being able to discuss options during the process.

being able discussto discuss options during the process.

Alex and his team are the utmost professionals. They will work with you on any size job to design a custom solution that fits your needs and budget. Alex was able to finish my remodel when an unscrupulous local interior designer went way over budget and schedule. While I was dealing with that situation via legal channels, Alex saved the day by finishing the job. He even helped identify less costly alternatives to some of my original plans. Most importantly, the job cost what the estimate said it would, not a penny over. I should have used Western Oregon Builders from the very beginning!

Alex at Western Oregon Builders is in such high demand that you will need to wait for availability to get your project started. Do not let that deter you! The product they deliver will come in on budget and exceed your expectations. Like most, we had to work within a budget to get our ADU built. While we would have loved to put in a variety of high-end finishes, we simply had to live within our means. That, however, did not turn out to be a problem at all. The showroom at W.O.B. is full of amazing choices and they even help direct you to those that fit within the budgetary quote. You are free to “buy up” if that is your choice, but the wide array of finishes to choose from makes it easy to get exactly what you want and not break the bank. All of Alex’s subcontractors are professional craftsmen who clearly take pride in their work. We could not be happier with final product delivered by W.O.B.; it was definitely worth the wait!

I want to add that we experience some damage from the recent snow and ice storm, which Alex and his crew were quick to repair. I continue to be a very happy customer!

Western Oregon Builders and R&B Design did a wonderful job on our remodel! They took our ideas for an addition with solar panels and integrated the new structure seamlessly into our existing home. They were very flexible and open to our ideas, while also remaining clear with us if we were making a mistake. We give them our highest recommendation! You can trust them with your job.

Western Oregon Builders have done two jobs for us (one large and one small) and both have been excellent. They provided cost estimates, gave us options, and - best of all - followed through with the projects. They were able to provide the builders and subcontractors (plumbing, electricians) faster and better than I could independently and they did good work.

The showroom is an added bonus as you can see and feel any tile, counters, or flooring while getting a great price.

Summer of 2017 I engaged Western Oregon Builders to replace my roof. They were recommended by my nephew who did business with them through his company. They did an awesome job. The quote they presented me was what I paid (no additional expenses were incurred). They explained what days they would be there and they met their commitments. I had friends who said to be aware of all the nails and debris that would be left on the lawn and garden areas. There was none! They had a dumpster brought in and everything was clean and tidy when they were done. They also replaced two skylights. I drive onto my driveway and see my nice, clean beautiful roof and am very pleased with the work they did.

WOB is a great company to work with. They will try hard to save you money, and they will also work with you to accomplish your hopes and dreams. Where other builders may give you a very high quote because they're scared to meet your requirements, WOB will sharpen their pencils and make sure they aren't blowing your budget. They'll help talk you down from bad decisions, but they'll also have conversations with you about how to try and accomplish your goals, and also explain to you potential pitfalls. They have a long lead time for new projects, but honestly that is a good thing, because it gives you time to work on your designs and make sure you're building something that you want, and not just rushing into an expensive project. There really is no project too big, they helped us build our dream house from the ground up. They have reliable subs that they have good relationships with, but if you have your own sub that you want to use they are open to that as well. They really just love their job and they love building things that they can be proud of.

Beate is very easy going and has good design sense and can help you plan your project for livability and comfort. They will meet with you as many times as you need to ask questions and redo designs if it isn't hitting the mark the first time.

Building is a lot more expensive than it used to be, so you want someone like WOB on your team to try and help you save cost where possible.

Alex and his team at Western Oregon Builders are just the best. We feel so lucky to have been able to hire them to fix our home. They are not only reliable and honest, they are genuinely good people who want to do good work. They have made us feel like part of their family, and we could not ask for more than that from our contractor. Recommending Alex and Western Oregon Builders for any job involving construction is very easy for us to do.

Beate, Alex, and their crew do great work. They are the best construction company to work with. They will work with you through every detail (city permitting, layout, finishes, construction design considerations, mid project changes, inspections) without price gouging you. They are super flexible and some of the nicest people you will meet.
