What Olson & Jones Construction, Inc. does

Olson & Jones Construction, Inc. is a privately held residential construction firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded in 1982 by Greg Olson and a co-founder named Jones. The company provides four core service lines: residential remodeling (bathroom, kitchen, condo, home office, and whole-house remodels), historic renovations requiring compliance with design regulations, condominium remodels that navigate complex HOA and building restrictions, and custom home construction. All services are delivered through a structured process beginning with an initial consultation with a dedicated project manager, progressing through a Pre-Construction Services Agreement that establishes a comprehensive budget, and concluding with on-site production supervised by both the project manager and a superintendent. The company is licensed as an Oregon contractor (CCB# 54065) and in Washington (OLSONJC889OR), and serves the Portland metropolitan area and surrounding communities including Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Tigard, West Linn, Oregon City, Sherwood, Newberg, and Milwaukie, with limited activity in Southwest Washington.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model, where each engagement (typically a remodel or custom home build) represents a one-time contract with potential for follow-on work from satisfied clients. The firm employs 11-50 people and leverages a curated network of subcontractors and specialty trades rather than maintaining large in-house construction crews. Client communication is supported by the CoConstruct project management portal. There is no public pricing model, subscription offering, or software product; pricing is determined per project through the Pre-Construction Services Agreement. The company markets through its website, project gallery, O&J Blog, Houzz, Yelp, Google Reviews, community sponsorships, and earned media coverage.

Olson & Jones has accumulated significant industry recognition, including continuous Qualified Remodeler Top 500 national rankings since 1994, multiple NARI Regional Contractor of the Year awards, Chrysalis Awards, Best of Houzz Service and Design honors, and recognition by Home Builder's Digest as one of the best historical restoration contractors in the United States. The firm maintains EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm status and employs NARI Certified Professionals. Its competitive positioning is built on over 40 years of Portland-specific trade relationships, demonstrated expertise in historic and condo niches, transparent project management, a 2-year warranty on completed work, and active community involvement through partnerships with All Classical Portland, Oregon Food Bank, Just Compassion, and the Home Builders Foundation.
