Since 1996,
we’ve collaborated with homeowners and their architects and interior designers on some of Portland’s most beautiful and innovative homes. Our attention to detail, evident in the quality of our craftsmanship, originates in a company culture that values clarity, accountability, and efficiency. From our estimating to our timeline management and information sharing, every aspect of our operation is constantly subject to process improvement – always with the goal of providing lasting value and a positive construction experience for our clients.

General Manager
I have worked with many contractors over the years, and Otis Construction has been superior to them all. Paul gives comprehensive, accurate bids (this was of paramount significance in my choice of contractors), is patient with those who don’t understand the ins and outs of construction, and is knowledgeable and trustworthy. Misha, our project supervisor, took exceptional care of us and poured his heart into his work. I can say, without doubt, that anyone who has the pleasure of working with Otis will be extremely satisfied with the results.
