Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Salem, OR

"After purchasing our home in 2016, built in 1966 but remodeled in 2012-14, we thought there would be no major projects. Everything looked fantastic on the outside, but lurking behind the walls were ticking time-bombs from "sub-optimal" materials and poor craftsmanship by the prior homeowner’s contractor. In early 2018, a darkening in the hardwood of the hallway floor outside the master bedroom and bowing of the baseboard and wall-board were our first clue something was not right. Because of the outstanding experience we had with Dorson Jackson of Jackson Construction, we gave him a call and asked if he could investigate. After opening the hallway wall-board, he discovered water was leaking, and had been leaking for some time, from the master bath shower. After consulting with our homeowner’s insurance firm, a claim was filed and we began the process of repair and replacement. It was awful to see the behind the walls, behind the pretty tile and glass, just how much damage had been done. To tear out thousands of dollars of nearly-new tile and fixtures made our stomachs turn but once the true extent of the damage was revealed, we were very thankful that we were in such good hands with Dorson. The subcontractors Dorson provided for electrical, plumbing, tile, glass, and paint – all of them were very professional and we never guessed where we were in the project thanks to Dorson’s frequent updates and weekly schedule plans. On our own dime (in addition to the insurance), we upgraded ventilation, floor tile quality, added radiant floor heat, and changed the location of the valve to one that made more sense. Dorson was mindful of our budget and provided options at varying price points. Not only was our master bathroom repaired, it was elevated to a new level of quality, thanks to Dorson and Jackson Construction’s excellent work. He also pulled permits for any and all areas that were necessary. Dorson’s attention to detail was recognized and commended by our insurance adjuster as well. A situation that could have been very painful to work through went extremely smooth and I believe all parties were pleased. We would highly recommend Dorson Jackson of Jackson Construction, without hesitation."

"They were great. Knew what to do and how to solve the reason(s) the gate opener was faulty. They are our "gate guys"!!"

"Havenâ t finished yet, needs paint"

"Jason and his crew were consummate professionals in every way. They were detail-oriented, communicative, cleaned up after the job meticulously and gave me confidence that they knew exactly what they were doing on my kitchen cabinet installation. I hope they stay in business for a long time because I would call them first for anything that they would be willing to do at my home."

"Owner of the company came to my property and he gave me a thorough bid covering the cleanup and disposal of 30 yrs of debris. He had his own dumpster trailers and his own equipment necessary to do the job. I am a very environmentally conscious person and he took the time to separate recyclables and lawn debris in different dumpsters for removal. He also gave me a fair bid to do the differed maintenance on my out buildings around my property and was able to restore multiple buildings that other contractors said would have to be torn down-removed and built new at a larger expense. We’ve recently had him back to build a hot tub surround with transparent roofing out of 120 yrs old barn wood posts that was saved from a building that couldn’t be remodeled. Definitely will have him back for future projects, highly recommended."

"Justin worked so hard to make sure our insurance company got us what we needed, that we were back in our house as quickly as possible, and my children would be safe. He was so very helpful, it would not have gone nearly as smoothly with anyone else!"

"Extremely good craftsmanship and very professional group people. I would highly recommend them for any other job in the future."

"I just had Elm Construction Services replace the roof on our new home. I have to say, I’m really impressed. We went with asphalt shingles and they look beautiful! What I loved most was how professional everyone was. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and actually cleaned up better than I expected - you’d never know they were even here. They were also super patient with all my questions (and I had a lot!). The quality of their work is top-notch. You can tell they really care about doing things right, not just getting it done quickly. My neighbors have even commented on how great the roof looks. If you’re in the Lake Oswego or Portland area and need roofing work done, I’d definitely recommend giving Elm Construction Services a call. It’s such a relief to find a contractor you can trust who actually delivers on their promises!"

"Fast work, very well priced, and got the job done. I had a flow problem following the work (sediment in the lines) which the promptly returned the following day to repair, at no additional cost to me. I’ll use them for my next project."

"They worked quickly, efficiently and did great work!"
