TaylorSmith Sustainable Construction

About us

TaylorSmith Sustainable Construction is a Portland, Oregon metro-area company, established in 2016 by co-founders Taylor and Kevin, specializing in new homes, renovations, home expansions, energy retrofits, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The company organizes its work around a 'Triple Bottom Line' philosophy — People, Planet, and Profit — and states its goal with every new build or remodel is to have the lowest possible impact on the planet while remaining financially accessible to the Portland metro community it exclusively serves.

On existing homes specifically, TaylorSmith addresses design issues during the pre-construction phase to help avoid constructability conflicts and reduce waste once a renovation or expansion is underway, and the company has pledged that all of its new homes and deep renovations will be certified as Net Zero Energy Ready through the U.S. Department of Energy program. TaylorSmith describes itself as working to integrate the most environmentally practical technologies, building science, and materials available, aiming for homes that are not just aesthetically appealing but comfortable, healthy, and efficient for occupants. The company is listed as a Certified B Corporation in B Lab's public directory, reflecting third-party verification of its social and environmental performance alongside its Net Zero Energy Ready commitments.
