Built by Family.
Built for Portland.
Gever Construction started in 2004 when founder David Gever left a large construction firm to build something more personal — a company where every client is treated like a neighbor, because in Portland, they usually are.
Today, the Gever family serves homeowners and businesses from the West Hills to the Columbia Gorge. We know Portland's neighborhoods, its weather, its building codes, and the craftsman character that makes our city worth preserving.
- Oregon licensed, bonded, and fully insured — always
- Transparent pricing — we show you every line item
- A dedicated family member manages every project
- All work backed by our 2-year craftsmanship warranty
- We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and handle city code
- Clean jobsite daily — we respect your neighborhood

What Portland Neighbors Are Saying
We build relationships as carefully as we build homes. Here's what our clients say.
“The Gever family built our home and it was remarkable how personal the whole experience felt. David walked the site with us every week. They finished on time, on budget, and the craftsman details they suggested made the house even better than our plans.”
“We needed our Pearl District office done fast. Gever's crew worked around our schedule, respected the building's neighbors, and delivered a stunning space. No cost overruns, constant communication. I've already referred them to two other business owners.”
“Our 1924 bungalow has quirks that stumped every other contractor. The Gevers understood old Portland homes — the plaster walls, the odd framing, the original hardwood. They treated our house with respect and the kitchen remodel is absolutely perfect.”
“The ADU came out better than we imagined and the permit process was painless because they handled everything. Start to finish in under six months. Our tenant moved in the day they handed us the keys. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Three retail renovations and counting. Every single time: budget respected, schedule met, and the neighbors actually compliment the work when it's done. When you find a contractor you can trust in Portland, you don't let them go.”
