Powell Construction

After online searching of construction companies, we chose Powells to renovate our kitchen and a bathroom in our 1960 ranch, which we bought about 10 years ago. It was a total renovation with new pipes, electrical, floors, cabinets, windows, appliances, lighting. We were nervous of course, but after meeting Tom Powell and the crew, who work at Powells, we knew it was the right choice. Their use of a comprehensive timeline for the whole project and the use of dynamic ideas and design drawings coupled with daily communications was what made this experience truly wonderful: A dream come true.There was no stress, no missed communications, and the whole project as it unfolded was actually joyful. We were so happy working with each member of the Powell team and by this I mean working with our lead carpenter - Alex M., whom we consider a truly gifted artistan, with a vision for the details in the structure and beauty of woodworking: he is a kind and introspective person who knows his craft; and in the world of construction renovation, he is a gem. We had direct communication with him every day by text, which worked for us as immediate responses were important to us. In addition, we got to work with a Powell's design person, Lindsay, who provided wonderful ideas to address the aspects of tile, paint, lighting, fixtures, and who provided us with updated design drawings, color and tile samples, and who grasped what we had envisioned for our home renovation and was able to set it out in full graphics and extremely creatively for us to see in order to move ahead with all the choices that come with such a project. Trent is a another person who worked with us, who walked and talked us through all the process and we knew where things were at all times. This process included weekly meetings onsight to address any concerns, which were few, and then to move forward. The additional contractors used were very friendly and the work sight was always clean and orderly at the end of the day, which was a sign that Powells and everyone who works there are conscientious and very professional. With any large renovation, there would seem to be days of feeling distraught and overwhelmed: We experienced none of this. And in thinking about our next plans, which will include a patio and porch, we would want to work only with Powells.

Powell's completely renovated a former out-of-date, run-down, and damaged rental property and turned it into a warm and cozy home away from home for us. Everyone on staff was professional and pleasant to work with. Our lead carpenter, Alex M., was organized, thorough, and meticulous and he communicated with us and all the subcontractors regularly. His coordination of the subs and inspections was excellent and our project was completed on time. Alex also did all the new interior trim work which is beautiful; he went above and beyond in the quality of his work. We are truly happy with our new kitchen and bathrooms, and the new floors and doors. We highly recommend Powell Construction.

Working with Powell Construction was an excellent experience. We added a two story addition on to our home and every step of the process, from design to completion, was well coordinated and very professional. The designers are great to work with and were able to turn our rough idea into an amazing new space. The construction crew was very professional and courteous, even our dogs liked them. They were open to our concerns and available to answer questions as they arose. The attention to detail was fantastic, allowing for our addition to be built with very little intrusion into our daily lives. The entire project was completed exactly to the original projected timeline. I would highly recommend Powell Construction and would be excited to work with them again.

“We are delighted with the sunroom addition that Powell Construction did at our home. As an organization, they are professional, timely, accessible, and do high quality work. Jayde did an excellent job of shepherding the project and Mat, the on-site project person, was exemplary. We would most definitely recommend this company for your remodeling needs.” Gwenda and Robert Rice

We completed an extensive, 1250 square foot addition to our home and enjoyed working with Powell from the very first design meeting at our home. They were open and honest in communication, making us feel heard while offering advice and perspective as we worked through the final design details. We appreciated their thorough project quote, which helped us stay on budget and feel confident in the investment we were making in our home. Even through an unprecedented pandemic and historic wildfires, our project was completed on time and to amazing quality. We jump to recommend Powell to any one we know who is even toying with the idea of doing a home remodel.

Extraordinarily great team! Design to finish. Genuine care & attention to details. Exceptional service. We cannot be more pleased with our remodeling project. Even subcontractors were excellent & delivered careful quality workmanship. Quality work through and through. Awesome people who love dogs too!

When my brother recommended Powell Construction to my husband and me when we were researching a bathroom remodel, we had NO IDEA that it would be far from a common, run of the mill experience. From the time that we had a conversation about the project with Tom Powell and Dean Flaming we experienced respect, kindness, professionalism, collaboration, and excellence. We began to wonder if we would be able to afford such quality. Deborah Flaming, the designer, listened carefully to our ideas and worked tirelessly to be sure that we were fully "on the same page". She worked hard to keep it within our budget, too. Joe Shuttlesworth, our lead carpenter, was talented, organized and a true craftsman, never leaving a mess at the end of the day. The finished project far exceeded our expectations! Powell's took care of many small, but important, details making sure we understood each step of the project. We had the project's time schedule posted on our refrigerator. It was followed with precision. Without question, we would want Powell Construction's expertise for our projects in the future!

I am a property manager in Corvallis, OR and had just taken over a new rental property that was in great need of renovation for it’s large main bathroom. It is a fraternity style living situation so the bathroom layout was designed for large numbers of people to use but was a few decades old and didn’t afford much privacy. I contacted Powell; I had not worked with them before but when they came in for their initial walkthrough they were extremely knowledgeable and professional and quite obviously experienced. They were able to see the difficulties that were probably going to arise and devise possible solutions even in just their initial walkthrough. We signed on with them in November 2018 and they began immediately on the design process and scheduling the construction to begin June 2019 and ending September. Powell’s designers Jayde and Christine created a number of designs for us to pick from and walked us through the smaller design choices. The six month preparation process before construction began was handled thoughtfully and professionally and the design result met everything I was wanting for the project. When construction started Mat, our lead carpenter, handled everything from the demolition, to working with the plumbers, painters and tile guys and electrician. I never had a sense that he didn’t have a handle on what was going on or what needed to happen. He was very positive and communicative through the whole 12 week renovation. We had a plumbing problem crop up at the end of the renovation after they had finished (not unexpected on a project this large) but I called up Powell and they came and fixed the issue without hesitation or complaint at no cost to us. I highly recommend Powell. When you have a project that needs experience, skill, and good deal of orchestration I would say Powell meets these needs and takes responsibility for their work. I will be contacting Powell again when I have another major renovation.

We had an excellent experience with Powell Construction for our kitchen and living room remodel. Powell did a good job with the design, and the lead carpenter, Joe S., did a fantastic job with managing and implementing every other part of the project. Communication with Powell was good, the project finished on time and we are thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Powell, and Joe S., and would not hesitate to book them for another job.

Powell Construction exceeded our expectations all the way, from beginning to end. We came to Powell for a full bathroom, sunroom, and office nook. The designer did an amazing job taking our ideas and needs and translated into beautiful spaces we all love and enjoy. The lead carpenter managed the whole project with excellent planning, great communication skills, and with professionalism. There was a strong wind/rain storm one night when we had a temporary roof, and the lead carpenter came to our house at 9pm to make sure the temporary roof was holding (in pouring rain!!). We highly recommend Powell Construction.

We are repeat customers of Powell Construction. Our first experience was a well-orchestrated installation of six skylights, so Powell Construction was our first choice for a major kitchen remodel plus installation of wood floors throughout our home. From start to finish excellent customer service never wavered. Our designer listened to our thoughts and ideas and incorporated them beautifully into the project. All the sub-contractors were top notch. Skilled in their areas, neat, and courteous. We absolutely love our new kitchen and wood floors and would not hesitate to use Powell Construction again in the future.

Our experience with Powell Construction was superb from beginning to end. We came to Powell with a kitchen remodel project. We appreciated the way to their designer guided us through the hundreds of detail choices to be made. She did this in a way that helped us make the choices that were right for us without ever imposing her own style on us. Once the decisions were made and the project was completely defined, the result was a fixed-price contract (with allowances, where necessary). Another result was a schedule with a firm start date and a firm end date. The construction commenced on the schedule date, and the project was completed on the scheduled date. Who knew that contractors could even do that? The lead carpenter on our project was wonderful to work with. The communication was exceptional throughout, with both scheduled weekly meetings and passing conversations when things came up. He made it a point to leave the work area clean at the end of each day, and especially on Fridays. As is inevitable with this sort of project, there were a few glitches along the way. But Powell was able to get things worked out and still complete the project on schedule. The quality of the final product was excellent. We love our new kitchen!
