Milwaukie remodeling firm joins the region’s leading home building advocacy group, gaining access to education, advocacy, and a network of Portland builders.

Being part of an association that pushes the whole industry toward that professional accountability and gives us a way to learn from other builders doing it right just makes sense”

— Mike Jeske, CEO of Tortoise Construction

MILWAUKIE, OR, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Tortoise Construction LLC is now a member of the Home Building Association of Greater Portland (HBA). Based in Milwaukie, the company serves homeowners in SE Portland, NE Portland, Lake Oswego, and communities throughout the Portland Metro area.

Tortoise Construction LLC is a licensed, bonded, and insured remodeling company specializing in home additions, accessory dwelling units, kitchen remodeling, basement renovations, and bathroom remodels. The firm manages projects from architectural design through final construction under a single contract, using a five-step pre-construction process that locks in pricing and scope before demolition begins.

“Joining the HBA felt like a natural next step for us,” said Mike Jeske, CEO of Tortoise Construction. “We built this company around the idea that homeowners deserve a contractor who treats their budget and their timeline as seriously as the finished space. Being part of an association that pushes the whole industry toward that professional accountability and gives us a way to learn from other builders doing it right just makes sense. We’re looking forward to being active members.”

The HBA is affiliated with the Oregon Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders. Membership provides access to continuing education programs, local housing advocacy work, and connections with other builders, remodelers, and trades professionals across the Portland Metro region.

Tortoise Construction currently holds a BuildZoom score of 106, placing it among the top 7% of contractors rated in Oregon. The firm also maintains a 5.0 rating on Angi and is a member of NARI Pacific Northwest.

Homeowners planning a remodel can request a free Project Risk Snapshot™, a 30-minute consultation that reviews budget range, project risks, and timeline expectations before any contract is signed. More information is available at tortoiseconstructionllc.com.
