About Us
Jim Paulson Excavating, Inc. is a third generation family owned company that provides building demolition, site preparation and utility installation services in the Portland Metro area.
As a young man in his late teens, Jim learned the ropes in the construction industry from his father, Jim Sr. After returning home from Vietnam, Jim decided it was time to start up on his own. In 1975, Jim founded Jim Paulson Excavating, using the business name that his father was so proud of. Jim Sr. came on as one of the new company’s first employees. Jim’s oldest son, James, joined the company in 1994.
We pride ourselves in performing quality work, insisting on being accurate and providing a clean, safe worksite. After all, it’s our name on the door. With 60 years combined experience, the team can visualize various aspects of the project. That combined with knowledge about other related trades allows us to look ahead to spot possible challenges.

“As a home owner, it can be hard to find the right contractors for your projects. You simply don’t have the everyday experience and list of contacts to call when you have an important project. So I feel blessed to have been recommended Jim Paulson Excavation by another trusted contractor I use. Jim and James where the perfect team and I highly recommend them for any of your excavation work. We used them for a fairly complicated project that involved leveling a steep driveway, building stacked boulder walls, back filling/ compacting, trenching waterlines, drainage, grading, and placing top soil. Throughout the process from quote to final inspection James and Jim where timely, thorough, and professional. Prices where fair and any scope changes where easily handled. I appreciate the great work and will certainly use Jim Paulson Excavation for all our future jobs.”
