About Q&R Construction
Owner-operated. No subs. 30+ years in the Willamette Valley.
Q&R Construction Services is a licensed Oregon general contractor based in Salem. Founded by Quaid Housekeeper in 1994, we've built our reputation one project at a time — honest pricing, direct communication, and work that holds up.
Three Decades of Building Trust in the Willamette Valley
Q&R Construction Services was founded on a straightforward belief: homeowners and businesses in the Salem area deserve a contractor who shows up, communicates clearly, and delivers exactly what they promised — every time.
With over 30 years of hands-on construction experience, we've worked on everything from kitchen remodels in South Salem to land clearing on rural Marion County properties. That depth of experience means we anticipate problems before they become surprises, and we bring smart, practical solutions to every job.
We're a local company — based in Salem, rooted in the community, and accountable to our neighbors. When you hire Q&R, you're working directly with the people doing the work, not a call center or a subcontractor chain.
What Drives Every Project
These aren't marketing slogans — they're the principles Quaid built this company on and holds every crew member to, every day.
Quality & Reliability
We deliver consistent, high-quality workmanship on every project. Our clients rely on us to show up on time, communicate clearly, and complete projects to a high standard — without surprises.
30+ Years of Experience
With over three decades of construction experience, we've seen it all. That knowledge allows us to anticipate challenges, offer smart solutions, and guide clients through every stage with confidence.
Clear Communication
We believe communication is just as important as craftsmanship. You'll always know what's happening, what comes next, and what to expect — no guesswork, no runaround, no disappearing acts.
Licensed & Insured
Q&R Construction Services is fully licensed and insured in Oregon — CCB #213602. We follow all local building codes, safety standards, and permitting requirements to protect you and your investment.
Fair & Transparent Pricing
We provide clear, detailed estimates and honest pricing. No hidden fees, no vague line items, no bait-and-switch. Just straightforward costs and real expectations before any work begins.
Community Roots
We live and work in the Willamette Valley. Our reputation is built neighbor by neighbor, project by project. We're accountable to this community in a way that out-of-area contractors simply aren't.
Quaid Housekeeper
Quaid founded Q&R Construction Services with one goal: build a contracting company that Salem homeowners and businesses could actually trust. No subcontractor shuffle, no disappearing after the deposit — just reliable, quality work done by people who care about the outcome.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience across remodeling, new construction, excavation, and site work, Quaid brings a depth of knowledge that lets him solve problems quickly and keep projects on schedule. He's on-site, accessible, and personally invested in every job Q&R takes on.
When you call Q&R, you're talking to Quaid — not a receptionist, not a project manager, not a call center. That direct line of communication is something our clients consistently mention in reviews, and it's something we'll never outsource.

Why Salem Homeowners Choose Q&R
Six reasons our clients call us back project after project — and refer us to their neighbors.
We Pull Permits — You Don't Have To
Q&R handles all permitting with the City of Salem and Marion County. We know the codes, the inspectors, and the process. You don't need to navigate that — we do it for you.
No Subcontractor Shuffle
The crew that shows up is the Q&R crew. We don't broker your project out to unknown subs. That means consistent quality, clear accountability, and someone you can actually call if something needs attention.
Detailed Written Estimates
Every estimate is itemized and written. You know exactly what you're paying for before we start. No verbal agreements, no scope creep surprises, no "that wasn't included" conversations after the fact.
Built for Oregon's Climate
We spec materials and methods specifically for the Willamette Valley — wet winters, clay soils, and the specific drainage challenges that come with Oregon's geography. Generic contractor advice doesn't cut it here.
Responsive From First Call to Final Walkthrough
We answer calls, return messages, and keep you updated throughout your project. You'll never be left wondering what's happening or when the crew is showing up next.
30 Years of Willamette Valley Projects
We've completed hundreds of projects across Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. That local track record means we understand the specific conditions, codes, and expectations of this region better than any out-of-area contractor.
