Pluum Construction

James and team came to the rescue on a project a major foundation company was doing to shore up our front porch. When the big guy failed to disclose that carpentry work, which they also failed to disclose they did not do, was needed to true a beam before work could continue shoring up the foundation, we panicked thinking we'd be stuck mid project forever and miss yet another summer out front. Not only was James and the team able to get started quickly and stay within budget, but they took the time to really assess what the big guy had not and changed the plans accordingly. The result a much more study porch than we would have gotten had we not gone with James. So with a trued beam for the big guys to wrap up their part we finally had a chance to enjoy the our porch again before the rains returned. I trust James and his crew enough to refer him to friends in Portland who are looking for help they can trust and work they can count on. I'm happy to recommend them to you as well.

Doing my do diligence, I read Pluüm Construction reviews on Google, BBB, and Oregon CCB websites. James is very personable and relatable. I decided to give him a shot to do demolish my circa 1960s fireplace in preparation for complete reroof (contracted with a different company, a less than favorable review will be posted after I receive my refund). His teams (a mason, framers and sheet rockers) were fast, professional and respectful. I was impressed enough that after cancelling the roofing contractor, I hired Pluüm to do my roof. They will start on Saturday. If the roof project goes well, I will have no reluctance to hire them to install the hardwood flooring throughout my house.

James is great. The teams he has are super solid. Have done two jobs with them and both have been reasonably priced and done well with no complications. Look forward to working with them again.

The project turned out to be much more extensive than initially expected requiring two full days of labor to complete. James quickly assessed that the work was going to be significantly more than our first estimate and was honest and upfront about additional costs before doing anything exceeding the estimate without my consent(which has not been the case with other contractors in my past). The work was top tier, very clean and the crew was polite and professional. Hard to find good residential contractors and would absolutely recommend his crew and services to anyone looking.

Due to numerous concerns raised by myself, spouse, and other professionals, we terminated our contract with Pluum Construction on 6/20/24. We requested a final itemized invoice on several occassions, but have been met with excuses. When we asked for a specific date for when a final itemized invoice will be provided, we were told via text that we would not be given a date. We were told that there are additional addendums, but none were ever approved by us when the project was active. Addendums have to be approved by my spouse and I prior to going to the insurance adjustor. If you are considering working with this company, I recommend looking at BBB reviews. I'll update this review as things unfold.

I have had the pleasure of working with Pluum Construction on many different projects across multiple endeavors. James and his team are very efficient, honest, and work with great integrity. Very knowledgeable team with wonderful attitudes who stand behind their work. I highly recommend trusting your next home project to Pluum Construction!

We have worked with Pluum Construction and James Plumlee on multiple projects, both residential and commercial. We appreciate their comprehensive service, flexibility, and creative solutions to getting the job done with a quality finished project.
