Dana was the general contractor for two large projects for us, one commercial and one residential. He did an excellent job on both! He is professional, courteous and exacting in performance -- besides that he is fun to work with. Highly recommend.

Dana and his team at Gnome Construction have remodeled two of our True South Solar offices. They did great work and hit the mark on budget. Dana is a good project manager and an impeccable craftsman himself. You get what you pay for, and we’re happy going to work every day in our beautiful modern offices

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with Dana, the owner of Gnome Construction in a number of capacities. We have collaborated on everything from small handy person projects, to managing large complicated, Net Zero Energy buildings, a LEED-Homes Platinum Certified home, a Living Building Challenge Building, to even volunteering with his tiny homes at local event and project sites all over Oregon. A healthy 9 year relationship in the trades these days is admirable and speaks to the quality of the work and the communication! I hear a rumor the East Coast may get to enjoy his talents soon, but we are happy to share. Thanks for keeping the bar high Gnome Construction

Gnome Construction built an ADU and remodeled a studio for me.. It was my first major construction project. I was nervous given all the bad things I hear about contractors. Working with Dana was fabulous. He broke down all the costs and phases of the project. He came in on budget and time. He is a great communicator and was professional and fun to be around. Dana and Jessica did a fantastic job. I could not recommend them more highly.

My experience working with Dana has been incredibly positive. Dana's professionalism and attention to detail are truly exceptional. It is refreshing to meet and work with someone of Dana's experience, integrity and customer service excellence. Past experiences with construction companies have been challenging and cause one to feel that one needs to be monitoring everything to ensure that it is done properly and in a timely manner. I find working with Dana that it allowed me to feel confident and assured that I could relax and know that all of the work will be complete and done to perfection. I especially appreciate that Dana is personally available anytime I have questions and is happy to spend the time assisting me through the building process professionally and with personal attention that I find rare.
Gnome Construction is a step above in that I experienced these qualities:
° They treat their customers and each other with dignity and respect,
° Service is always given with a smile,
° A foundation of trust and loyalty are created with each working relationship.
° Their dedication to community and the environment are evident in all aspects of the work they do.
They are a business of quality, character and heart.
I highly recommend Gnome Construction.
