This review is tough, being a decade long yelper myself, I try to set aside emotion. I cannot give more than 5 stars, and I would like to leave 50 for Capital Builders. To tell the whole story, would leave you reading a small novel. I will try to avoid that. Long story short. A contractor we hired to build an ADU on our property for my mother ended up being a scam artist. When we contacted David (Capital Builders), we were very cautious. David stepped and looked at a job that seemed impossible. Everything built by the former contractor had been done to scam money. David was informed of this. David, basically, came to the rescue. There were many factors, and any professional contractor may have looked at the project and ran. Capital Builders did not. This was not only a repair of work poorly done by the former contractor, but also continued work to complete. David did everything. We were on a budget and he took his personal time to help us DYI some things ourselves. David went through the fires of hell on our project. Professional, compassionate to our situation, flexible, quality work and repair of work that was unstable from the former contractor all exceeded what anyone could ask for. We had a complicated situation and David did not give up. All meetings were on time, all costs were explained and easy to understand. It was plain to see that he took personal time, often, to think about how he could improve everything he could for us. He took personal time to help us understand what we could do ourselves as well. We went from hopeless to my mother finally having a home. So, this review, as far as services, quality and professionalism is 5/5 yelp style. This review personally is 50/5. Capital Builders changed our lives for the better, yes, for real. I could not and will not recommend a contractor higher. Also, David is a genuine gentleman that knows his craft. He is the type of contractor that if someone can't do the job, he will get out there and do it himself, even on a day off. I would be surprised if he ever did take a day off. To note, the project was so complicated it took almost two years (that was on our part for causing delays). He was extremely accommodating and always stayed in touch and followed up. If you consider them, please do so because they do good work (solid work, no flimsy fix it cheap quick stuff). Good work comes with a good leader. He will not let you down. Check out Google. You can see for yourselves. His reviews speak loudly and proudly. All, very well deserved. If Capital Builders is unable to do your job, they will tell you straightforward. If they can do your job, I would swear on my life at this point, they will do it to 100% with excellence. read more

I can't express how happy I am with the work Capital Builders that did on our house.  David and his crew stepped into a nightmare when we discovered dry rot and termite damage to the back of our house of a scope we could not have foreseen.  It was definitely nerve racking to face not only the initial damage we found out about, but how extensive it became. David was sensitive to how he communicated bad news to us as he kept us informed.  Since the scope of the work was unknown, David charged man-hours instead of a flat rate which made sense due to the nature of this job. It was very difficult, though, not knowing until the end of the job what the total cost was, which, while it was higher than expected, was totally fair due to the top notch quality of work and attention to detail.  Since man-hours were charged, updates to follow the costs would have better prepared us to know what to expect for the final invoice. David took pictures to share all the damage with us as he found it since we weren't there during the day, so we could stay informed. David's transparency and honesty was very refreshing. Because of his transparency, we completely trusted David and his crew with all the work that they did.  He patiently explained anything we didn't understand, spelled out where our money was going and gave us choices to keep our costs down. He communicated in a timely manner answering emails when we had questions. We found it worked best to get answers to our questions by keeping emails short and asking a direct question in the email title. There were a few extra things done free of charge for us which we were extremely grateful for.  One project in particular went way above and beyond what either of us expected, but they saw it through to the end without hesitation or taking any compensation. David and his crew take pride in their work and it shows. Miguel's dedication to his work and the quality of his work were admirable. Besides this huge month long job David did for us, we also hired him for two smaller jobs. In the course of one of those jobs, more damage was found on the front of our house, which David shared with us through pictures, that we also had him repair.  This damage would not have been discovered if Miguel had not found it as he was caulking the rest of our house. I know repairing this damage now will save us from extensive damage in the future. At times, we were offered the possibility of Saturday work being done, which we agreed to. He has since re-sided the remainder of our house and it looks great! We had a hiccup with determining window trim that would work aesthetically for us and meet the builder's requirement to prevent future damage, but after much consideration and a lot of thinking outside the box, a solution was found.  David sticks to his principles to ensure he can do the best quality work that will stand the test of time. I highly recommend David and his crew for repairs or any home projects or improvements! read more

See all

Great quality of construction, meticulous attention to details. The house looks beautiful and we are very happy with the results. David and his team are hardworking, honest, and - most importantly - very reliable. We were referred to Capital Builders by our friends who were happy with their services. We needed our investment property in Portland renovated and couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend them! read more

Do not deal with this company. David was aloof, and unprofessional in his communication throughout our application process. He declined our application even after providing proof of employment and income over $120,000 a year. Did not take the time to thoroughly vet us out as applicants. Terrible business, terrible person. read more

Capital Builders replaced the roof on my home, while it was 27 degrees outside, w/ complete professionalism, attention to detail, & swift (brrrr!) completion. The second that a drop of water came from those Portland grey clouds, the tarps went up--not one thing was even damp while whole house was open to the sky. On-time, good communication w/ David Sideras' direction, left no mess, & finished ahead of time. Dream contractors! Would recommend them to anyone. read more
