A Legacy of Craftsmanship in the Pacific Northwest


With over 30 years of experience in the residential construction industry, Brad Skreen has established himself as one of the Portland-Metro area’s most respected custom builders. Since the founding of Skreen Construction, Brad’s mission has remained steadfast: to transform the complex process of building a home into a seamless, artistic experience. His deep-rooted knowledge of Oregon’s unique landscape and building codes allows him to guide clients through every phase of construction with unmatched precision and foresight.


Award-Winning Vision

Brad’s work is defined by a rare balance of structural integrity and aesthetic innovation. This commitment to excellence was recognized on the industry’s grandest stage when his project, “Hidden Lake Lodge,” swept the NW Natural Street of Dreams, earning five prestigious awards including "People’s Choice Best of Show." To Brad, a custom home or a high-end remodel is more than just a structure—it is a functional piece of art designed to enhance the lifestyle of the families who live within its walls.


The Gold Standard of Partnership


What sets Brad apart is his hands-on, personal approach. He operates under a simple but profound philosophy: “We build every home as though we were building it for ourselves.” By maintaining a presence on-site and fostering direct, transparent communication, Brad ensures that no detail is overlooked. He prides himself on the long-term relationships he has built with Portland’s finest architects, designers, and tradespeople—a collaborative network that ensures every Skreen Construction project is delivered with "Street of Dreams" quality, regardless of scale.
