About This Market

Beaverton's general contracting market runs hot with steady residential demand driven by the metro Portland housing boom and aging housing stock from the 1970s-80s. Competition is fierce among the area's established contractors, with material costs and skilled labor shortages pushing project timelines and prices up 15-20% over pre-2020 levels. Kitchen and bathroom remodels dominate the small job market, while home additions and whole-house renovations drive the higher-end work.

To work this market, get your CCB license squared away first - no shortcuts, and the state will shut you down fast if you're operating without it. Beaverton's building department runs tight inspections, so know the code and build it right the first time. Peak season books up by February, so line up your subs early and price in material escalation clauses. Keep your insurance current and your bond active - one complaint to the CCB can sideline your business for months.
