Not Your Average
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
We go above and beyond to create a positive experience for our homeowner clients.
We created Level + Plumb for Homeowners who are ready for a Fantastic relationship with a fully licensed residential general contractor.
Hi. We’re Level + Plumb.
We believe that we are a great match for the energy, detail and communication needs of our clients.
We don’t believe that increasing the value of one’s home has to be a difficult experience filled with unanswered calls, ignored deadlines, unexpected expenses, construction zone messes, and unprofessional attitudes.
You’re a busy homeowner and you’ve got a lot on your mind. Are you hoping to find a ‘perfect fit’ licensed contractor to help you upgrade your home? Need a contractor who doesn’t need micromanaging to get things done? One who won’t add unnecessary costs and delayed deadlines to your projects?
At Level and Plumb, we pride ourselves on:
Professional communication
Clean, professional appearance
A consistently positive attitude
Attention to detail
Timeliness
Cleanliness of our workspace
We understand the many concerns behind finding the right contractor to partner with and we have worked hard to address each one.
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.

I am a man who loves working with his hands and solving puzzles. I came to the construction world when I began adding useful features and fixing all manner of aspects of the homes I rented. The weekend warrior handyman was born! Those projects I did for fun later graduated to my landlords offering me work. Soon while traveling for my day job doing event production work I discovered the Ritz Sauna at the Oregon Country Faire.
This extraordinary booth has blended art and construction to create a phenomenal experience for our fair patrons for over 30 years! With the elders I met on the crew and through their expert guidance the truth came home - I wanted to do construction for real. Since 2020, I’ve now been immersed in the residential remodel construction world ever since.
I love the challenge of the work as each home and project is unique, requiring innovative thinking and precise execution. Adept at coordinating the many details and variables every complex remodel includes, my goal is executing the vision of my clients.
