Building your Home Enjoyment,
Equity, and Financial Security
One REmodel at a time
A Step Into Our World …
Level + Plumb is a licensed general contractor that provides timely and professional residential remodel services. We are detail-oriented and deeply invested in making spaces beautiful, useful, efficient, and tailored to your household's needs.
As a new professional carpenter operating in Eugene, Springfield, Junction City, Veneta, and surrounding communities, I discovered there is an unfortunate stigma associated with the construction profession:
Have you had experiences with contractors who have not called you back, missed appointments, left unfinished work and a mess in your home, or even ghosted you all together with no explanation?
Have you had experiences with contractors that have padded their bottomline with unnecessary work, excessive costs for materials, uncommunicated timeline extensions, and left you wondering if they are more interested in making money off you rather than operating as a cooperative partner in making your home special?
General Contractor unprofessionalism and resulting unfortunate community perception are exactly what Level + Plumb wants to change. Given its financial cost, complexity, and preponderance of do-it-yourself misinformation, modern remodeling can be a confusing arena for the average home owner.
In our world, it is our responsibility to be
excellent stewards of the remodel process.
What we know
Level + Plumb understands that these negative experiences can make anyone suspicious and reluctant to hire a general contractor, even when your home is in absolute need of their guidance, services, and “Get It Done” attitude. Even though Level + Plumb is a new general contractor business operating in the Eugene area, we prioritize trust as the foundation of our business practices. It is my belief hiring a general contractor you can trust is a prerequisite for any future projects that captures your dream home imagination. Level + Plumb absolutely understands that your home is your castle and we respect your space as we would our own.

We appreciate how transparent you have been about costs and all of your detailed explanations about labor, materials, and project planning. We are extremely satisfied with your and Tristan's work, and with the work done by the drywall mudding subcontractor that you chose. Our new room and counter are perfect and look like they were original to the home.

Our General Contracting Service Process respects you right upfront
-
This can be done over Zoom or on a phone call. It is helpful for us to have photos to visualize your space.
By the end of this first meeting, you will have a ballpark quote that will make it clear if working with us is within your budget.
If we agree together, then an appointment for an in-person meeting will be set at your home, so we can discuss your project in detail. -
Together we will discuss the specifics of your project, take measurements, discuss materials, and how I can best bring your vision into reality.
Depending on the complexity, man-power required, and materials to be sourced, I will take the information gathered from our meeting and have a project quote emailed to you within 1 week (5 business days). -
The emailed project quote is a custom proposal detailing the timeline further, breaking down costs and materials, and any relevant legalities (like filing for permits, renting equipment, and/or hiring subcontractors).
You take your time to look it over and request any further information from James and/or make any adjustments.This step is so important! Take your time to consider any potential challenges for your household, lifestyle, budget, and calendar.
The more time we take together to get clear on the process ahead of time, plan for any concerns, and develop our communication together, the better the actual buildout of the project will go. -
Once the quote has been modified, timeline set, and is accepted, then the fun begins! We get moving on your project by finalizing and signing our construction agreement.
This will include an official start date, agreed-upon amount of deposit to fund the purchase of supplies, and clear payment plan and timeline with deadlines for any phases of construction.
Within the contract is a document that will provide written, mutually agreed and signed confirmation of any Change Order that will be required before there is a modification or addition to the original quote. -
At least 1 week before the project start date, James or a trusted associate will meet with you to do a walk-through and go over some pre-construction details.
This will include how to prepare for the arrival of our workers: does an area need to be cleared out? Available bathroom? Parts of the home needing protection? Where will they park? Worker awareness of kids or animals on the property? How best to leave our workspace at the end of the day?
All of these details are important to us as we intend to be a quality dance partner amongst the unavoidable impact that construction will have on your life. We know it will be uncomfortable and it is our goal to keep the stress to a minimum during the whole process.

We are with you every step of the way!
Stay in communication with James and/or the onsite construction manager and make sure we are meeting your needs, addressing any concerns, and keeping the project moving forward smoothly.
It is the nature of construction that there will be bumps in the road. It is our commitment to draw your attention to any areas that need additional approval, a change in work-order, or simply an A-OK.
Your home is sacred to us and we strive to bring the highest level of respect and integrity throughout the project.
