Meet your builder

“Building is part of who I am, it’s how I see the world- it’s in my bones.”

Ryan Brown is a third generation home builder with a strong background in construction management for nearly 20 years. After graduating from the University of Oregon in 2005, Ryan began framing houses and developed a strong skillset in modern building techniques. By 2007 he worked his way into construction management for a regional homebuilder, overseeing all aspects of home construction for large subdivisions across the Portland area and Southwest Washington. After many years of working for others, the time to launch his own homebuilding business came in 2020 and Dovetail Custom Homes was born.

Ryan has deep understanding of home design and prides himself on staying abreast of materials innovations and construction trends for the Pacific Northwest. “It’s important to me that we help our clients realize the full vision of their home plans. Room layouts and elevations, use of natural light to bring in the outdoors, finishes, fixtures, lighting, harscapes- the way you feel in each space is important to every home working as it should for our clients unique needs. A Dovetail Custom Home is built to endure and serve families well for generations to come- there’s just no other way we know how to do it.”
