Construction Company reviews in Portland, Oregon

Paul and Mark spent a few months with us to make our master bath and kitchen remodels reality. Each room was its own project. We had a few setbacks due to materials availability and weather but nothing that would keep Paul and his crew from returning and finishing our projects. Paul Cottle runs an honest business, is a very trustworthy person, and only employs the most hardworking and honest tradespeople I have ever meant. We could relax and work with them working in the house and not be concerned. Paul took all of our concerns very seriously and made sure we were happy every step of the way. We were always told about issues they found and how they would be fixed and when we could expect the electrical and plumbing subs to come. Paul told us what decisions we would need to make at the beginning of the projects and when finishing materials were needed along the way. With the exception of paint, lighting, hardware, and woodwork, we sourced out the finishes, cabinetry, and fixtures ourselves with Mark and Paul's guidance. Per our request, Mark was able to save our existing kitchen solid surface countertops and sink. The worksite was kept very clean. Even though walls and ceilings came down, we never had much in the way of dust. If we determined we wanted additional changes or had other small jobs done in other areas of the house, Paul's charges for all of those "extras" were very reasonable and his crew very accommodating. The bathroom was completely finished before the kitchen was started which we really appreciated. Nothing was left half done nor incomplete. We looked forward to the subs coming to do the finish work because that meant we were almost done with each room! We entrusted our home with Paul's construction company and now our master bath is a beautiful space and we have the most wonderful kitchen we thought we would ever have.

Update 5/2019 since I could not create another review: Paul and his crew came back to replace our front, side, and sliding door and everything went great! As usual, super easy to communicate with Paul and plan things out. Paul gets all the pricing, explains things really well, and then has Mark and Audrey to help collaborate and do great work. There were absolutely no problems and the doors came out great. The team even dealt with some quirky catches with ease and a storm door that seemed quite difficult to get on. A pleasure working with Paul and company!

Original-11/2017: Paul Cottle Construction put in 10 windows for us...Everything went really well with Paul and his crew (Mark and Audrey). From the first day, Paul's communication was excellent. My wife and I always knew when he would arrive and what he was working on. Half of our windows were sealed off with glass block, and Paul got them out relatively easy and put in nice new Milgard windows. We also ran into a dry rot issue underneath our kitchen window, which Paul identified and with the expert help of Mark and Audrey, took care of correctly and at a manageable cost. Mark and Audrey did really well in one room where a window needed to be re-framed, cutting out some of the wall and replacing it with new dry wall and texture. Overall, we had a great experience with Paul Cottle Construction and will definitely be hiring him again. Paul was very easy to trust, and other bids we received gave us either a strangely low bid or extremely high bid that stressed doing a lot more than necessary. Thanks Paul and company for great work!

As a new home owner, I ran into problems with the first contractor I hired. I ended up with windows for the entire house but no one to install them. I'm glad I found Paul. It was a stressful and somewhat time sensitive problem. He called me back right away and came to give me a quote within a few days. He was hesitant to take on the job because he likes to measure his own windows so there are no problems. We ended up finding that one of the windows had in fact been measured incorrectly during the process and needed to be reordered. Paul was able to install the windows within my timeline. Paul and his crew were polite and on time and cleaned up after themselves. Paul always followed up with me when he said he would which I appreciated. They did a great job installing the windows in our older bungalow home. I wasn't able to find another installer for a quote in regards to cost. Paul's price was quite a bit more than what I was going to pay the first contractor but still seemed reasonable for the job. And you get what you pay for.

Paul was very easy to work with. He communicates well and frequently. It was always easy to get in touch with him. He was also very considerate. His invoice had no surprises, and the shower remodel looks great. The price seemed to be fair.. Jose, who did the tile, did an excellent job. He was always on time or early. The plumber also seemed to do very good work. The job went pretty smoothly.

On budget, ahead of schedule and looks beautiful! I called Paul Cottle Construction a couple of years ago for a small remodel, and didn’t hesitate to call again to do some more updates to my home. There was some dry-rot in the siding on the south side of the house. I had the siding replaced, had a sliding door removed and replaced with a standard window and had a small deck removed. Jesus and Antonio did the work on the house. They worked in the sun, through 90+ degree days, and they worked hard. They were polite and professional, kept me informed during the process and finished the project earlier than initially projected. I so appreciate Paul and his team. I am very pleased with the work that they did. The exterior and interior look great. Changing out the sliding door to a standard window has made a large difference to the temperature in that room. They cleaned up well and left my house in great condition. I would definitely call Paul for other projects in the future and recommend him to friends and family.

We hired Paul to replace 15 windows in our home and we are very happy with the results. Paul was easy to work with and highly communicative from the bidding process through the project completion. The work that he did with his colleague Mark is outstanding. They were able to match the window and trim stains to the original windows we left in place. Furthermore, we feel confident that everything was done correctly and will withstand the elements for years to come.

Paul’s crew did an excellent job remodeling our kitchen. This included removing the soffit, upgrading the electrical service, installing new cabinets, and installing some new appliances. We stayed with a similar layout for the kitchen. His main crew person, Mark, did 95 percent of the work and was highly skilled. This included demolition, preparing the space for the new kitchen, installing the cabinets, and putting in duct work for the new hood. He even unpacked all the cabinets after delivery. His attention to detail was impressive in all areas like ceiling texture, painting, backsplash tile, and trim/molding pieces. Mark will be able to figure out and resolve any issue your old house might present.

New appliances were on our own to provide, and the contract clearly stated “owner supplied.” New cabinets were also on our own, and here Paul included an allowance. This allowance is an amount he will subtract from the final amount you owe. That’s nice when you get to the end of the project. Your cabinet estimate will come from the cabinet supplier/design company you go with. To give you an idea, in our small kitchen we spent $10,000 on cabinets from Parr.

Paul coordinated the main construction, electricians, plumbers, and countertop installation. He even communicated with the cabinet supplier we ordered from. The project took a tad over 6 weeks which was about right for the work involved. Each day there was noticeable progress.

Norwest was incredible to work with for my dental office build-out! Mark, Eric, Shannon, and Jill were all very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a team to join you in your buildout journey that is reliable, transparent, and enjoyable to work with, go with this team!

Such a wonderful experience, I definitely recommend Norwest to all my dental friends looking to renovate or build a dental office from scratch! Norwest was professional, prompt, and were excellent in communication. They exceeded my expectations all around and they made a difficult process so much easier in every aspect. Thank you for everything Norwest!!! You guys are amazing.

I had the pleasure of working with Alpha Strong Construction, Inc., and I couldn't be more impressed. Their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality that truly sets them apart. From start to finish, the project was handled with care and precision. I highly recommend them for any construction needs and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Nice work.

Great service super professional really did a great job for my house

Really appreciate all the hard work on my roof! I would definitely recommend them and will hire them again in the future.

Good work.

They unloaded my semi ,promptly, and were very courteous.

If you want someone to get the job done and not waste your money while they stand around on your dime. Go somewhere else.!

I like making deliveries here, everyone from the office to the ground workers work together to unload you fast and are friendly.

Jennifer Dorner is an amazing person and a fantastic representative of Hoffman Construction. Thank you:)

The work Rick does has exceeded my expectations. He listened to my ideas and included his wealth of knowledge to make the project look timeless for years.

Rick is a great listener and it was clear he understood my vision, which made me feel confident in working with him and his team. His communication was great and I couldn’t be happier with his work.

We’ve worked with Rick and Complete Construction on multiple renovation projects. Rick was great at taking our initial ideas and building out a plan that added value — both in our quality of life and our home’s value! — and exceeded our expectations. He’s very knowledgeable about period homes and he excels at blending old and new tastefully. Great value for your money!
