Jenson General Contracting

Two state licenses sit behind this Portland-area builder: Oregon CCB #182417 and Washington General Contractors #PERFETD876P3. That dual coverage is the practical core of Jenson General Contracting, because it lets one outfit handle a kitchen remodel in Beaverton and then frame a deck across the river in Camas or Vancouver without handing the homeowner off to a separate firm. The company lists more than sixty cities across Oregon and Southwest Washington, with Lake Oswego, Salem, McMinnville, and Battle Ground all on the list alongside the Portland metro itself.

Remodeling, home improvement, new construction

The work splits into three areas, and the page is clear about which is which. Remodeling is the deepest: kitchens, countertops, cabinets, ceramic tile, bathrooms, hardwood floors, interior painting, and fireplace surrounds. The home improvement side leans toward the building envelope and changes that alter a footprint, things like room additions, roofing, siding, windows, doors, and decks, plus custom one-off jobs that do not fit a tidy category. New construction is the third leg, covering design-build residential homes, barns, shops, and garages.

Accessory dwelling units and zoning guidance

The accessory dwelling unit work is worth pausing on. Jenson General Contracting calls out ADUs specifically and pairs them with local zoning knowledge, which is the part that usually trips homeowners up. A backyard unit lives or dies on setbacks, height limits, and permit interpretation that shift from one municipality to the next, so a contractor who treats zoning as part of the job offers something more useful than another line on a services menu. Given how many Portland-area owners are weighing rental or in-law units, that emphasis reads as a deliberate read on where the demand sits.

Customer ratings across platforms

Family ownership is stated plainly. On Angi, Jenson General Contracting holds a 4.8 out of 5, a strong mark even though the snippet does not show how many ratings sit under it. The Facebook page carries 392 likes and describes the same family-owned remodeling and new construction focus that Jenson General Contracting puts forward elsewhere, so the story stays consistent across the places people go to check. The site's own reviews section bills the company as a five-star general contractor, which is worth discounting next to the independent Angi number; between the two, the Angi score is the one to weight.

BBB record absent from search results

One caution belongs on the record. A Better Business Bureau search did not surface a profile that clearly belongs to this company; the results pointed instead at unrelated names like Jensen Contracting Canada and a Jenson and Sons operation in Alaska. That is not evidence of any problem, since plenty of solid contractors never register with the BBB, but anyone who uses a BBB listing as a trust checkpoint should know it is absent here and rely on the Angi rating and the licenses instead. The Angi address in Molalla, Oregon does give Jenson General Contracting a verifiable physical anchor outside its own website.

Phone and contact page options

Reaching the company is workable but not lavish. A phone number is displayed right on the Jenson General Contracting site, so reaching a person takes one step, and there is a contact page for anyone who would prefer to start in writing. The site does not put forward a street address or a posted set of hours, so someone who wants to confirm where the shop sits before calling has to dig a little or rely on the Molalla address that surfaces through Angi. For a residential contractor that mostly travels to the customer, a phone-first setup is a fair trade, and it lines up with how most homeowners reach out anyway.

Range across Oregon and Southwest Washington

What this adds up to is a contractor with real range and the paperwork to operate on both sides of the Columbia. The breadth is genuine: a homeowner can bring a tile job, a new roof, and a future ADU to the same number, and the cross-border licensing means a Vancouver or Camas project gets the same legitimate footing as one in Lake Oswego. The gaps are minor, mostly the missing address and hours on the main page and the unconfirmed BBB record, and neither one undercuts the core of what Jenson General Contracting offers.

Single firm versus lead aggregators

Stack Jenson General Contracting against a platform-sourced option and the comparison turns on continuity. A lead aggregator hands you a rotating cast of bidders, each with its own licensing to verify and its own crew you have never met. Here you get one named, family-run firm carrying both state licenses, a 4.8 Angi rating, and a single phone line that covers everything from a bathroom redo to a design-build house. The published record is enough to take the next step with confidence: two verifiable state licenses, an independent 4.8 Angi score, and a service footprint documented city by city.
