Top Construction Company in McLoughlin, OR

If you own one of the historic homes in McLoughlin and you're weighing a remodel, you already know this isn't a typical project. Finding a top-rated general contractor who understands historic construction and the added review that comes with a designated conservation district takes more digging than a standard renovation search.

Renovating in One of Oregon City's Oldest Neighborhoods

How Construction Management & Design Approaches Historic Homes

Construction Management & Design has managed residential remodeling across the Portland metro since 1996, and older housing stock like McLoughlin's is exactly where that experience earns its keep. Miles Koessler stays as your single point of contact throughout the project, and Colleen Mihalik handles design work that respects a home's original character instead of fighting against it.

Working Within the McLoughlin Historic Conservation District

Much of this neighborhood sits inside the Oregon City Historic Conservation District, and several individual homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places or recognized as city landmarks. That status can affect what's allowed on the exterior of a house, from window replacement to additions visible from the street, so we build that review process into the timeline from the start rather than discovering it midway through design.

​

Older Construction and the Bluff Above Downtown

Homes built before 1939, which make up a large share of McLoughlin, often come with original foundations, balloon framing, and systems that were never meant to run modern appliances. The neighborhood also sits on a bluff above downtown Oregon City, with narrower streets and limited off-street parking in places, which affects how we stage materials and manage crew access. If you'd like to see how we walk through that kind of planning, our process page covers it in detail.
