Capper Construction LLC

Built for the Coast

Family Owned Since 1975

PERSONALLY GUIDED. BUILT TO LAST.

Building on the Oregon Coast is different. Wind-driven rain, salt air, and year-round exposure demand more from a home and from the people who build it. Over five decades of building here, Capper Construction has developed and refined construction and weatherproofing practices specifically for this environment. Many of the methods we adopted decades ago have since become standard practice in coastal construction.

Built for the Coast is more than a tagline. It reflects an approach shaped by 50 years of experience: understanding where coastal homes are vulnerable, paying attention to the details that matter, and building homes intended to perform beautifully for generations.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Think

It has been a true delight working with you and we expect years ahead of delight enjoying Cannon Beach and the very special environment you have created for us. The attention to detail and the bottom line have been married perfectly.

Susan M.

We have been involved in extensive remodeling of three other homes in Portland. The process and results at Cannon Beach are by far the best. We are very fortunate that you were able to undertake the task, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Besides, it has been fun to work with a first class builder and your talented subcontractors.

Charles B.

Jeremy Capper combines artistry with construction experience and competency. It is such a pleasure to work with him. He thinks! We did an extensive remodel, involving lots of design choices and difficult construction problems. We could sit down with Jeremy and he'd not only come up with answers, but they were cost effective and beautiful when he was finished. I cannot recommend Capper Construction more highly.

Our Story
Established in 1975 by founder Michael Capper, our family-owned business has spent five decades mastering the art of coastal home building along the Oregon Coast. What began as one man's passion for quality craftsmanship has grown into a trusted legacy, now carried forward by the next generation.

We intentionally take on a limited number of projects each year so we can stay deeply involved in every detail, from early budgeting with your architect to the final walk-through. Our specialty is complex coastal work: challenging sites, coastal weather exposure, historic homes, and projects where smart problem-solving matters as much as craftsmanship.

We understand that building a home is one of life's most significant investments. That's why we bring uncompromising attention to quality, budget, and timeline to every project. Beyond the numbers, our deep knowledge of coastal construction means we know exactly how to build homes that stand strong against wind driven rain, salt air, and time itself.

As a family-owned business rooted in this coastal community, we take pride in building more than just homes. We build lasting relationships. Whether it's a custom new build, historic renovation, or smaller remodeling project, we approach each job with the same dedication and integrity that has defined our company for over 50 years.

Every Capper Build Begins with Thoughtful Planning

Every successful project begins long before construction starts. We believe thoughtful planning, realistic budgeting, and experienced guidance create a smoother building experience and a home that stands the test of time.

Discover

We begin by listening—understanding your goals, your home, your budget, and the opportunities unique to your project.

Plan

Together we develop realistic budgets, refine ideas, coordinate with designers and trusted trade partners, and prepare every detail before construction begins.

Build

With a clear plan in place, we focus on craftsmanship, communication, and careful execution from concept to completion.

Enjoy

Your project is complete, but our commitment doesn't end there. We build homes designed to serve families for generations and relationships that last just as long.

For Architects & Designers

We love being involved early in the design process. If you're working on a coastal custom home or major remodel and need preliminary budgeting, constructability input, or a builder who's comfortable with complex detailing and challenging coastal sites, we're happy to be a resource.

We're used to collaborating with architects from Portland, Seattle, and beyond on Cannon Beach and north-coast projects.

Sustainable Building Expertise

Building responsibly doesn't have to be complicated. We've guided projects through Earth Advantage and Platinum LEED certification, and we build sustainability into our everyday practices. Whether you're interested in formal certification or simply want to minimize environmental impact, we have the experience to make it happen without unnecessary complexity.
