Talk to the family. From the first call to the final walkthrough, you deal with Shawn, not a call centre.
Neighbours say it best.
His calculations were so precise that the gutters remained in place. He matched the new roofing to the existing and it looks outstanding.

Straight answers about how we work. Anything else, call Shawn on (503) 781-2093.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Gresham and work across the Portland area. That includes Portland, Gresham, Troutdale, Boring, Sandy, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego, West Linn and Tigard, and we take jobs as far as Salem. If your town isn't listed, call and ask. We'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Call or send a message, and Shawn will set a time to come look at the job. After the visit you'll get a written estimate that spells out the work, the materials and the payment terms, so you know what you're agreeing to before anything starts.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Triple SSS Construction is licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board under CCB #215023, and we carry insurance. You can look up our license yourself on the CCB website. We'd encourage it, and we'd encourage you to check any contractor you hire.
Can I really call any time?
Yes. Call any time — Shawn answers or calls back fast. Water coming in, a door that won't lock, a fence down after a windstorm: call, tell us what happened, and we'll talk through what to do next and when we can get there.
Do you take small jobs?
We do. A sticking door, a patch of drywall, a loose stair rail, a few shelves to hang or a punch list before you sell. Small jobs are welcome, and we give them the same care as big ones. If you have several, we can often group them into one visit.
What does 'built on faith' mean to you?
It's about how we work. We tell you the truth, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear. We treat your home the way we'd want our own treated. And we try to do every job as if we were doing it for the Lord, because we believe we are.
