Areas where we build custom homes
We build custom homes on our clients' land across the Portland metro area and SW Washington, from our base in Happy Valley. Each area below has its own page with the work we've done there, the local permit office and rules, and the lot conditions that affect cost. Public permit records also show our work in Damascus, Gresham, Sandy and Beaverton, and a client home in Woodland, WA.
Happy Valley
Our home base. Hillside lots, the Steep Slopes overlay and city permits we know first-hand.
J Roderick Young Custom Homes is based in Happy Valley, OR, and has built custom homes here for years. If you want to build a custom home in Happy Valley, on a hillside lot below Mount Scott, on former Damascus land the city has annexed, or on an infill lot in town, you'll work directly with the owner, Jeremy Young, who knows the city's permit desk and its hillside rules first-hand.

Clackamas
Where the business started in 1991. County permits, rural lots, septic and former Damascus land.
J Roderick Young Custom Homes is a custom home builder in Clackamas, Oregon, and has been licensed here since 1991, when the business began as a Clackamas paint and finish contractor. Today we build custom homes on our clients' land across Clackamas and Clackamas County: unincorporated lots, rural acreage that needs septic, and land in the former City of Damascus.

Oregon City
An Alan Mascord plan home we built here, and the city's geologic-hazard rules on bluff and slope lots.
J Roderick Young Custom Homes is a custom home builder working in Oregon City, OR, a short drive from our Happy Valley base. We've built here before, including a home from an Alan Mascord plan, and we know the two things that matter most on an Oregon City lot: the city's own permit process and its Geologic Hazards overlay.
