One custom home builder responsible for the whole job
Every project below is priced from the ranges we actually quote, and you can see 2026 Oregon coast building costs before you call. Structural, concrete, and mechanical trades are handled by licensed specialty contractors we work with regularly, coordinated by us on one schedule.
Custom & spec homes
Ground-up custom homes built around your budget, timeline, and finishes, and fast-paced spec homes built with budget in mind. ADUs, guest cottages, garages, and shops too.
Remodeling & renovations
Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, and additions. We lock in your finish selections before demo starts, so the project runs with little to no downtime, and we can work around you living on site.
Exterior & decks
Siding installation and repair, decks and outdoor living, windows and doors, painting, and fencing, built with materials chosen for salt air, wind, and sideways rain.
Repairs & restoration
Dry rot and water damage repair, structural repairs, and storm damage work, including insurance restoration. We take emergency calls, because coastal weather doesn’t book appointments.
Engineered homes for mapped tsunami zones
Oceanfront and tsunami-zone lots demand engineering most builders won’t touch: deep foundations, engineered structural systems, and permitting that has to satisfy both the county and the coast itself. We build these homes with the licensed structural engineering these sites require.
