Custom projects in Portland for jobs that defy a category
Some Portland jobs refuse to sit in a neat category, and old homes are stuffed with them. A slumping porch, a pocket of dry rot behind original trim, a punch list the last owner left half-finished. We take on the work others would rather pass over.
Custom Projects done right in Portland
Century-old Portland homes throw off work that no single trade really owns. A settled porch needing fresh posts and framing, original molding that has to be milled to match, dry rot lurking behind a bay window, or a pile of small fixes that never quite add up to one clean call. That is exactly the sort of job we enjoy.
We scope it honestly, tell you what is worth doing now and what can hold, and handle carpentry, rot repair, and finish work with the care an old house is owed. One point of contact, one crew, and a plan that keeps the character of the place intact.

Custom Projects in Portland: common questions
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A lot of what we do is the odd, in-between work other outfits pass on, from one porch post to a whole punch list, and a small Portland job gets the same care as a big one.
Can you match old molding?
Usually. We match profiles and mill or source what is needed so restored trim reads original rather than obviously new on a historic home.
How is custom work priced?
We walk the project, scope it honestly, and put a written plan and price together so nothing surprises you once the work is rolling.
Can you tell me what truly needs doing?
That is a big part of it. We split the repairs that genuinely cannot wait from the ones that can, so your money lands on what matters first.
