Forty years in the trade means knowing your lane. We focus on the work we do best — and every project gets the same attention down to the punch list. Cabinets sit straight. Tile lines are flush. The deck is level. Inspections pass the first time.
Central Oregon weather is hard on decks — hot summers, cold winters, dry air, and UV that bleaches the wrong material to gray inside two years. We build decks that handle it. Cedar, pressure-treated, or composite — picked for how you actually use the space, not just what's cheapest at the lumber yard.
Every deck is built to code, permitted where required, and engineered for the snow loads we get in Redmond, Sisters, and Bend. Footings are dug to frost line. Ledger boards are flashed and bolted, not nailed. Railings meet IRC code so the inspector signs off the first time.
Kitchen remodels go sideways when a homeowner has to manage four trades — cabinet installer, plumber, electrician, tile guy — and act as their own general contractor. That's not the deal here. Rory coordinates the whole project, handles permits, and makes sure the crew shows up in the right order.
Cabinets, countertops, layout changes, lighting plans, plumbing reroutes, flooring transitions — handled in one project, one contract, one point of contact. Whether you want a full down-to-the-studs redesign or a refresh on a tight budget, the work gets done the same way: correctly the first time.
If you're already opening up walls and running new electrical, it's the cheapest moment in a home's life to add a gas line for the range. Most retrofits cost $1,500 to $3,500 — but bundled into a remodel, the marginal cost drops because the contractor is already on site and the walls are already open.
Most Central Oregon homes with serious cooks land on gas. Most homes with a focus on indoor air quality or that are already wired for a 240V circuit stick with electric or upgrade to induction.
Talk Gas Conversion with RoryBathrooms are small spaces with a lot of trades crammed into them. Plumbing has to be right. Waterproofing under tile has to be right. Ventilation has to be right — get any of these wrong and the next owner is tearing out a wall. We get them right.
From small primary bath refreshes to full down-to-the-studs rebuilds with curbless showers and freestanding tubs, we handle the full scope: demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, fixtures, and finish. One contractor. One timeline. One inspection.
A new floor is only as good as the subfloor underneath it. We don't drop product on top of problems — if the subfloor is rotted, soft, out of level, or transitioning poorly between rooms, that gets fixed first. Most floor problems trace back to a contractor who skipped that step.
Hardwood install, hardwood refinishing, luxury vinyl plank, tile in wet areas, and clean transitions between rooms and material changes. Including baseboards, shoe molding, and door undercut where needed.
Adding square footage means working with the city, an engineer, and your existing structure all at once. Done wrong, you end up with a roof that leaks at the tie-in, an addition that's a half-inch off from the original floor plane, and a slow-motion fight with the building inspector.
We handle additions end-to-end: site survey, permit pull, foundation, framing, roof tie-in, exterior siding match, interior framing, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, and finish. The transition between the existing house and the new space disappears.
Outdoor buildings on a Central Oregon property need to handle Cascade winters, dry summers, and wind off the high desert. Whether it's a 12×16 shed, a 30×40 shop, a detached garage, or a full barndominium, the foundation has to be right and the roof has to be designed for the snow load.
We build outbuildings as their own scope — stand-alone structures, not afterthoughts. Engineered trusses, proper drainage, real electrical service if you want it, insulation where it makes sense.
The dream Central Oregon detail: a wall of glass that stacks or pockets away in summer, opening the living room straight onto the deck, and seals weather-tight when the snow flies. Multi-slide systems are the upgrade most homeowners don't realize they want until they see a friend's house with one.
We retrofit tired French doors or sliding patio doors, and we design new openings from scratch — including the structural header work and finish carpentry required to make a wide opening that doesn't sag or warp. Coordination with the door manufacturer (Andersen, LaCantina, Marvin, Western Window Systems) is included; we know which systems hold up in Cascade weather and which to skip.
The fireplace is the room's center of gravity in a Central Oregon home — Cascade winters make it the most-used surface in the house. Whether you're refreshing an existing hearth or building a new fireplace from scratch, the details matter: stone selection, mantel proportions, hearth materials, and the built-in cabinetry that flanks it.
We handle the full scope — demo of the old surround, structural work where required, stone or tile installation, custom mantels in cedar or hardwood, and built-in shelving or media cabinetry on either side. Gas inserts, wood-burning, or pellet — we coordinate with your insert manufacturer and inspector so the install is code-compliant the first time.
The finish carpentry that turns a house into a home. Custom walk-in closets sized to your wardrobe, butler's pantries built into the right inch of wall space, mudroom drop zones that actually work for a Central Oregon family — boots, gear, and all. Window seats with storage underneath. Bookshelves that fit the room, not a big-box dimension.
Every built-in is fabricated specifically for your home — measured on-site, drawn to scale, finished to match your existing trim or stained to stand out as a feature. Soft-close hardware throughout. Adjustable shelving where it makes sense. Built to outlast the next remodel.
