Our Story

We are a third-generation, family-owned business with over 60 years of experience realizing bespoke residential and commercial designs.  We are born from the hands of our talented namesake, master cabinetmaker, James Frank, who traversed an ocean and a continent to fuse European craft tradition with Pacific Northwest architecture. 

A humble agent of beauty and precision, James Frank quickly made a name for himself in Portland’s growing community of architectural professionals.  With the endorsement of many, he developed his expertise in the general contracting field, establishing James Frank Construction in 1955.  Now, decades later, we continue to honor the pioneering spirit of our founder with every addition to our custom project portfolio.
