Many contractors are competent technicians and can build to a set of plans. That is only the minimum requirement for a general contractor. Too many contractors get bogged down in the technical aspects of construction and can forget that our responsibilities extend to being financial guardians of our clients investment in their project and that our job includes providing a positive and exciting experience for our clients. The indispensable ingredient for successfully carrying out our responsibilities is good communication. Sivesind Construction prides itself on prompt and open communication with our clients – and with our subcontractors and suppliers. Erik always acts as the lead on every project. No client will ever get shuffled off to a foreman or office person when a question arises. Erik personally handles all communication and is often physically on site for each project. Sivesind Construction also takes pride in our craftsmanship and attention to detail. Besides seeking our clients’ satisfaction we also work for our own satisfaction and enjoyment -- no pleasure can be found in careless or just “good enough” work. We will provide a high quality product of which both parties can be proud. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - General Contracting - Home Additions - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Deck Building - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Flooring Installation - Garage Building - Home Restoration - Project Management - Multigenerational Homes - Tile Installation - Countertop Installation - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Attic Conversion - Window Installation - Concrete Construction - Exterior Door Installation - Siding Installation - Stair Installation - Drywall Installation - Demolition - Roof Installation - Tiny House Construction - Foundation Construction - Sliding Door Installation - Carport Installation - Staircase Design - Trim Work - Sustainable Design - Crown Molding Installation - Lighting Installation - Masonry - Structural Engineering - Roof Repair - Fireplace Installation - Modular Home Construction - Insulation Installation - Stucco Installation - Stone Masonry - Stone Installation - Soffit Installation - Skylight Installation - Wheelchair Ramp Installation - Waterproofing - Site Preparation - Wood Stove Installation ### Areas Served - Medford - Ashland - Central Point - Talent - Phoenix - Jacksonville ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Sivesind Construction | | Address | PO Box 501, Talent, Oregon 97540, United States | | Phone | (541) 821-8807 | | Website | https://sivesindconstruction.com/ | | License Number | CCB \#157778 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Sivesind Construction](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/sivesind-construction-pfvwus-pf~2084699125) - **Website:** https://sivesindconstruction.com/ - **Phone:** (541) 821-8807 ## Selected projects - [Mill House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mill-house-pj-vj~6747445) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 13 - Description: This historic building met an untimely end when a large Douglas fir fell across Ashland Creek and crushed the majority of the building. The site, however, is beautiful and the owners wanted to rebuild where the historic Mill House was situated. Our first step was to completely remove the old structure and foundation. With tight and limited access, we could approach the site from only one side and, because the site was situated on a steep bank with unstable soil, it was imperative that we protect… - [Oak Street Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-street-residence-pj-vj~6660588) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 4 - Description: This new home was constructed on a flag lot and partially situated in the 100 year floodplain, so there were strict building codes we had to adhere to, including the fact that none of the electrical, plumbing or mechanical could be within 2 feet of that floodplain. As well, the foundation had to be constructed with openings so water could flow through it should a flood occur. Natural wood was used extensively on this 2,500 sf home including the exterior cedar shingles and deck railings, as well… - [Garage With Apartment Above - New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-with-apartment-above-new-construction-pj-vj~6660671) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 6 - Description: This two-car garage, with apartment above, was designed by local architect, Chris Brown of Arkitek, to complement the existing home. In an unusual twist to our normal construction projects, the owners were out of the country during the planning stage and when construction commenced, so all of our communication and decisions on materials, etc., was done by email. The apartment includes windows on all sides as well as skylights to allow as much natural light as possible into the space. The choice… - [Ashland Hills Residence - In Progress](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ashland-hills-residence-in-progress-pj-vj~6618311) - Location: Talent, OR - Photos: 10 - Description: Our clients lost their home in the 2020 Almeda fire. After purchasing a stock plan for rebuilding, construction is underway on this 3 bedroom, 2 bath Mid-Century Modern home. Because we were able to move the building site to a different location on their current property, we didn’t have to wait for fire cleanup to occur and building permits happened quickly. One of the priorities in the rebuild was to capture as much light as possible. By moving the building site and designing an abundance of wi… - [Asian Influenced Gate + Fence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/asian-influenced-gate-fence-pj-vj~6634141) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 7 - Description: We designed this custom fence & gate to create privacy and interest without creating a complete barrier. - [Family Room Addition with Two-Sided Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-room-addition-with-two-sided-fireplace-pj-vj~6673280) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 5 - Description: This small project offered big results including use of salvaged and repurposed wood and new indoor/outdoor living space for the homeowners. To make space for a deck and fireplaces, we removed an existing exterior wall, added 6’ to the home along with French doors on two walls. The gorgeous indoor/outdoor stone fireplace, which was crafted without mortar, was completed by Quality Stoneworks in Talent and includes two 3-1/2” thick live edge Oak mantles. The deck boasts a live edge Redwood martini… - [Master Bathroom + Closet Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bathroom-closet-remodel-pj-vj~6624901) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 9 - Description: This sunroom master bath initially housed a sunken fiberglass hot tub that the owners wanted removed and the space upgraded for a more contemporary look. We installed a deep custom oval tub, which is jetted and heated and surrounded the tub in maple. We included a curved door at the far end of the tub for easy access to the motor and heater. The smooth custom stone floor leads to the glass enclosed shower for a consistent look throughout the bathroom. Two new vanities in Douglas Fir, in separate… - [New Upper & Lower Cedar Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-upper-and-lower-cedar-deck-pj-vj~6630964) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: The old deck on this home was degraded and unsupported, which made it quite hazardous for the current owners. We removed the existing upper deck and the concrete patio below and designed the layout for the new elevated and ground floor decks. Because we had to take into consideration the closeness of the stairs to the side of the house and the roof overhang, we designed & incorporated a section of the stairs for decorative pots. This brought stair treads far enough away from the overhang to not… - [Granite Street Hobbit House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/granite-street-hobbit-house-pj-vj~6609364) - Location: Ashland, OR - Photos: 14 - Description: The design of this 1715 sf 3-story home was client-driven and inspired by Dutch-gambrel style barns. The couple, who are Shakespeare aficionados, wanted an eclectic “home away from home” when they were in town to attend plays. Sandwiched between two houses and sharing a driveway with one of them on a sloping lot created challenges for equipment access and material storage. With some creativity and good-natured neighbors, we were able to overcome these hurdles, including excavating almost 20’ dee… [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/sivesind-construction-pfvwus-pf~2084699125) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
