Premier Construction Company in Cedaroak, OR
If you live in Cedaroak and you're finally ready to remodel that kitchen or add onto the house, the search usually starts the same way. You want a skilled general contractor in Portland, OR who actually understands older homes near the river and won't disappear halfway through the project. That's a fair thing to want, and it's worth taking the time to find.
Serving Homeowners Throughout This West Linn Neighborhood
Cedaroak sits within West Linn, and most of the calls we get from this pocket of the city involve homes that are a few decades old and due for an update. We see kitchens that haven't changed since the house was built and need kitchen remodeling, additions for families who've outgrown their layout, and bathrooms that need to work better for aging in place. We handle that kind of project from the first conversation through the final walkthrough, and you can see examples of similar work in our completed projects.
Who We Are and How Construction Management & Design Works
We've been doing this since 1996, and in that time Construction Management & Design has built a process that keeps one person in charge of your entire project instead of handing you between departments. Miles Koessler manages the schedule and the communication, and Colleen Mihalik handles design and material selection, so you're working with two people who talk to each other daily instead of two separate companies that don't.
Cedaroak's Ranch Homes and What They Need
A lot of the houses in this part of West Linn are single-story ranch homes on quarter-acre lots, built with the plumbing and electrical standards of their era rather than today's. Before we write an estimate, we look at what's actually behind the walls, because a kitchen remodel on a 1970s ranch usually means updating more than just the cabinets. That upfront assessment is what keeps the budget honest once construction starts.
Permitting and Site Access Near the River
Cedaroak falls under West Linn's building department rather than Portland's permitting office, which changes how review and inspection scheduling work. Lots near the river can also mean tighter staging space for materials and equipment, especially on streets like Cedaroak Drive. We plan around both of those realities instead of finding out about them once the crew is already on site. If you want to see how we structure that planning phase, our process page walks through it step by step.
