The Kashas Crew
Brian Kashas
CEO
Brian is a hands-on owner with more than 25 years experience in construction having worked with his Dad building projects from the ground up. Early in his career he saw how better organization and coordination resulted in more successful projects which led him to developing his own Design/Build process.
He believes you get great results when you put talented designers and craftsmen in a great system and loves coordinating the connection between client, designer, and craftsmen. He is always looking for ways to make remodeling more transparent and efficient.
Brian lives in Camas with his wife, two of his sons (two are all grown up), dogs Martha and Alice and cat Greta. He likes to travel, play guitar and grow delicious veggies in his garden.
