Our Story
C.P. Carlson Builders was founded on a belief that homes should be built with quality, integrity, and respect for both the craftsmanship of the home and the people who will live in them.
That belief has guided our work on the Central Oregon Coast for more than four decades.
ROOTED IN CRAFTSMANSHIP
Where it all began
Before bringing his work west, C.P. Carlson began his career in North Falmouth, Massachusetts, working alongside a respected Cape Cod builder known for fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. There, he learned the traditions of high-quality homebuilding and principles that emphasize durability, thoughtful design, and pride in every detail.
In the late 70s, C.P. moved his family to Waldport, Oregon, where those same values became the foundation of C.P. Carlson Builders, Inc.
“Chris, Ryan and the rest of the team have completed a myriad of construction projects, ranging from small additions and reconstruction of entire exterior walls to much smaller projects over the past 10 years. I know that when I have Carlson Builders do a project, it will last a long time and that water infiltration from our Oregon Coast brutal storms will no longer be a concern. I highly recommend CP Carlson for new construction, repairs or remodels!”

OUR STANDARD
Building on the Central Oregon Coast
Over the last 40 years, our name became closely associated with integrity, custom design, and quality construction uniquely suited to the coastal environment. Building on the Oregon Coast requires deep respect for the elements and a commitment to building homes that are not only beautiful, but built to last.
Those standards remain central to everything we do today.
OUR COMMITMENT
A Legacy Continued
Today, the company is led by CEO Chris Carlson, an Oregon Certified Master Builder and the second generation of the Carlson family to carry the business forward. He and his wife Julia have raised three children together here on the Oregon Coast.
Chris brings both technical expertise and a deep appreciation for the traditions his father established. Alongside a trusted team of professional craftsmen, he continues the company’s long-standing commitment to quality, integrity and respect for the trade.
President Ryan Flowerdew has worked alongside Chris for the last 20 years. In that time, Ryan has become an integral part of the company’s leadership and day-to-day operations, bringing a wealth of experience in construction management and project coordination.
His long-standing commitment to the company reflects the same values that have defined Carlson Builders from the beginning. Dedication to craftsmanship, strong client relationships, and pride in building coastal homes that stand the test of time.
