Thoughtful Design. Experienced Construction. One Team.
Looking for a general contractor in Portland, Oregon for a major home improvement or custom construction project? EcoCraft brings 20+ years of building industry experience to custom homes, whole-home remodels, additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and other complex residential projects throughout the Portland area.
Our design-build approach brings planning, design, budgeting, and construction together under one experienced team—giving homeowners greater clarity and continuity from the first idea through the finished home.
More Than a Traditional General Contractor
Choosing a general contractor is about more than finding someone to coordinate subcontractors and construction schedules. For substantial residential projects, important decisions about design, materials, budget, permitting, and constructability begin long before construction starts.
EcoCraft approaches those decisions as a design-build contractor.
Instead of separating the designer, general contractor, and homeowner into different parts of the process, our team coordinates design and construction from the beginning. This helps identify challenges earlier, establish realistic expectations, and create a finished space that reflects both your vision and the realities of your home.
Portland Residential General Contracting Services
Custom Home Construction
Building a custom home requires hundreds of interconnected decisions. EcoCraft helps Portland homeowners move from early concepts and site considerations through design, pricing, permitting, construction, and final details.
Whole-Home Remodeling
For homes that need more than cosmetic updates, we manage comprehensive renovations involving layout changes, structural work, kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, and other improvements as one coordinated project.
Home Additions
Need more room without leaving the home or neighborhood you love? We design and build additions that create functional new living space while integrating thoughtfully with the existing structure.
Kitchen Remodeling
Our team creates kitchens around the way homeowners actually live, with thoughtful layouts, custom cabinetry, islands, storage, premium surfaces, and carefully selected finishes.
Bathroom Remodeling
From primary suites to complete bathroom transformations, we combine functional planning, durable materials, and refined design to create spaces built for everyday comfort.
Interior & Exterior Improvements
Larger remodeling projects may involve custom cabinetry, structural improvements, outdoor living areas, patios, conversions, and other improvements that require coordinated design and general contracting expertise.
OUR CUSTOM HOME BUILDING PROCESS
1. PLAN
We start by understanding your home, project goals, priorities, and budget. Whether you’re planning a major remodel, addition, or other residential project, we’ll evaluate the scope and establish a clear direction before moving forward.
2. DESIGN
Our design-build team develops your project around the way you live. We coordinate layouts, materials, finishes, and construction details while balancing functionality, aesthetics, budget, and the existing character of your Portland home.
3. PRICING
With our cost-plus contracts, you’ll have clear visibility into project costs as they develop. Our transparent process helps you understand bids, evaluate options, and make informed decisions before and throughout construction.
4. BUILD
Once the plans are ready, we coordinate construction, trades, materials, scheduling, and project details. Our team manages the build from start to finish with a focus on craftsmanship, communication, and creating a finished space built to last.
Experience Behind Every EcoCraft Project
EcoCraft was founded in 2012, with founder Eddie Hooker bringing more than 20 years of building industry experience to the company.
That experience matters on complex residential projects. Remodeling an existing Portland home can uncover structural conditions, outdated construction, design constraints, and other challenges that aren’t always visible during initial planning.
Having design and construction expertise working together helps our team anticipate those challenges and develop practical solutions without losing sight of the overall design.
General Contracting for Portland's Diverse Homes
Portland’s housing stock ranges from historic homes and established neighborhood properties to contemporary residences and new construction. Each presents different considerations involving existing layouts, structural conditions, additions, permitting, materials, and architectural character.
Our approach isn’t based on forcing every project into the same template.
We design and build around the property, the homeowner, and the goals of the project, whether that means opening an older floor plan, expanding the home’s footprint, creating a highly customized kitchen, or building a new residence from the ground up.
