Local Business Description
Sanborn Construction is a licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor serving Portland, Oregon. We specialize in residential remodels, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, deck construction, fencing, and accessory dwelling units.

Whether you're updating a bungalow in the Hawthorne District, adding a deck near Mount Tabor, or replacing a fence in the Alberta Arts area, we tailor our work to your home's unique needs.

Questions and Answers
What kitchen remodeling services do you offer in Portland?
We handle complete kitchen remodels, from layout redesign and cabinet installation to countertops, flooring, and lighting. As a design-build contractor, we coordinate with local architects and craftsmen to ensure your new kitchen meets both aesthetic and functional needs. We also manage permits and inspections, so you don’t have to worry about city regulations.
How do you fix common fencing issues in Portland homes?
Many Portland homes have wooden fences that suffer from moisture rot, leaning posts, or warped panels. We assess the existing structure, replace damaged sections with pressure-treated or cedar lumber, and set posts deep with gravel for drainage. For long-term durability, we can also recommend vinyl or composite options that resist our wet winters. Our team ensures your fence is secure and code-compliant.
Can you build a deck that stands up to Portland’s rainy winters?
Absolutely. We use treated lumber or composite decking rated for Pacific Northwest conditions. Proper joist spacing, hidden fasteners, and a slight slope for water runoff are standard in our builds. We also seal all exposed wood and include a solid ledger attachment to your house to prevent moisture intrusion. Many of our decks around Southeast Portland remain in excellent shape after years of rain.
