      We have been performing restoration work in the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years. We take great pride in the quality of our workmanship and attention to detail. I&E Construction's origins are rooted in multi-family residential siding work. Our president and founder, Karl Ivanov, has worked in the construction industry since 1993, starting from siding installation in the back of his pickup. He began to grow the business by delivering quality work and gaining repeat clients. Since then we have teamed with owners, architects, and consulting specialists to deliver thousands of successful projects. In the late 1990's we became one of the largest siding installers in the Northwest, working primarily on multifamily and commercial projects. We have since added several trades to our in-house capabilities and have become a full service general contractor. From our headquarters in Clackamas, Oregon we serve clients throughout the Northwest. By maintaining our commitment to integrity and excellence, we have continued to build relationships with repeat clients throughout the region.
