About us | Smucker Quality Homes
Since 1994, Smucker Quality Homes has specialized in concrete work and custom home construction, delivering quality craftsmanship in Mt Vernon, OR and surrounding areas.
Built on Craftsmanship and Integrity
Smucker Quality Homes is a family-oriented general contracting and home building company rooted in Mt Vernon, Oregon. Since our founding in 1994, we have focused on building and renovating homes that reflect regional character, practical design, and enduring craftsmanship. Our commitment is to deliver projects that meet the highest standards of quality, structural integrity, and client satisfaction. We combine hands-on experience with contemporary construction methods and an unwavering attention to detail.
Our History and Evolution
Established in 1994, Smucker Quality Homes began as a small, local builder concentrating on single-family residences and narrow renovation projects. Over time, as client demand and expertise grew, we expanded services to include custom home builds, turnkey projects, and professional concrete contracting. The firm developed strong local partnerships with suppliers and skilled trades, allowing us to handle increasingly complex projects while maintaining our founding values: honesty, communication, and quality.
Core Values That Guide Every Project
Craftsmanship
We apply proven building techniques and continuous quality control to ensure every detail meets or exceeds expectations.
Transparency
Open communication, clear estimates, and documented change orders keep clients informed and in control of budgets and timelines.
Integrity
We honor commitments, follow building codes and regulations, and stand behind our work with warranties and service.
Safety
On-site safety protocols protect workers, homeowners, and neighbors, ensuring projects progress without incident.
Community Focus
As a local Mt Vernon company, we invest in community relationships, support local suppliers, and prioritize local labor whenever possible.
Our Team and Expertise
Smucker Quality Homes is a small, dedicated team led by experienced builders who are personally involved in every phase of home construction. While the company is owner-operated, skilled crews handle concrete and other trades with attention to detail, working closely on each project to address challenges as they arise. Hands-on experience and practical knowledge ensure quality craftsmanship and a personal touch on every home.
Service Capabilities — Deep Dive
New Home Construction
From lot evaluation to final walkthrough, we manage all aspects of constructing new homes, including foundation work, framing, mechanical systems, finishes, and landscaping coordination.
Custom Home Build
Personalization is central. We work closely with clients and designers to produce homes with distinct floor plans, unique finishes, and features such as energy-efficient systems, open-concept layouts, or custom cabinetry.
Turnkey Projects
For clients who want a single-point solution, our turnkey service handles design, build, procurement, and warranty — delivering a move-in ready home without the complexity of managing multiple contractors.
Concrete Installation and Flatwork
Our concrete teams manage structural foundations, slabs, decorative patios, stamped finishes, and flatwork for driveways, sidewalks, and accessory structures.
Renovations and Additions
From kitchen remodels to second-floor additions, we blend existing structures with new construction cohesively and structurally soundly.
Why Our Local Focus Matters to Clients
Construction is site-specific. In Mt Vernon and the broader Oregon region, weather patterns, frost lines, soil composition, and municipal codes directly affect design and technical choices. Our local knowledge reduces risk and streamlines approval processes. We understand which foundation types perform well locally, the impact of seasonal weather on scheduling, and the best suppliers for specific materials—all of which translate into smoother builds and better outcomes for homeowners.
Quality Assurance and Warranty
Quality assurance is built into our process at every project stage. We perform pre-pour checks, framing inspections, mechanical systems testing, and finish walkthroughs before final handover. Smucker Quality Homes offers industry-standard warranties on workmanship and coordinates manufacturer warranties on appliances and systems installed in the home. We also provide post-occupancy support to handle any warranty items promptly.
Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Options
We offer green building options that improve comfort and reduce operating costs. Choices include upgraded insulation, energy-efficient windows and HVAC systems, proper air sealing, and sustainable materials. Our team will help you evaluate payback timelines and select upgrades that align with your long-term goals for efficiency and durability.
Client Communication and Project Management
We assign a single point of contact for each project—a project manager responsible for scheduling, daily oversight, and client updates. Regular site meetings and milestone reports keep homeowners involved and informed about progress, budget status, and upcoming decisions. This communication supports on-time delivery and reduces surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do you price projects?
We provide detailed, itemized estimates based on design documents and site assessments. We distinguish between fixed-scope items and allowance-based pricing for selections like tile or cabinetry. Any changes during construction are documented with change orders to maintain transparency.
Can you build on an owner-supplied lot?
Yes. We evaluate the lot for suitability, perform site-specific assessments (soil, drainage, access), and provide a timeline and cost estimate for development tasks needed to prepare the site.
What makes your custom homes unique?
Custom homes reflect client preferences through thoughtful layouts, material selections, and feature integration—whether energy-efficient systems, creative storage solutions, or specialty finishes. We balance aesthetic goals with practical construction solutions.
Do you manage subcontracts like plumbing and electrical?
Yes. We coordinate all subcontractors, ensuring scheduling, quality checks, and compliance with local codes.
What warranty do you offer after completion?
We provide workmanship warranties and help manage manufacturer warranties for installed products. Specific warranty durations are included in the contract and vary by system and product.
