Construction & Remodeling General Contractor in Dundee, Oregon
Residential construction handled with planning, permits, and care
Licensed Oregon General Contractor
Permit-Ready, Code-Compliant Work
Serving Dundee & Yamhill County Since 2006
Dundee Building, Done Right.
All Building Construction is a general contractor in Dundee, OR — based just 7 miles away in McMinnville. We’ve worked across Yamhill County for nearly two decades, and we know this stretch of wine country well. Dundee’s housing stock is largely from the 1990s, which means many homes along 99W and in the residential subdivisions are now hitting that 25- to 35-year mark where kitchens, bathrooms, and exteriors need real attention. We handle permits through the City of Dundee, build for the wet climate, and plan around the volcanic clay soil that makes this area unique.
Residential Construction & Remodeling Services in Dundee
We provide residential construction and home remodeling services for homeowners in Dundee and the surrounding wine country communities. Whether your home was built in the 1990s subdivision boom or you’re on a hillside property in the Dundee Hills, our services reflect how homes here are actually built and used.

Why Dundee Homeowners Choose All Building Construction
Decades of Local, Licensed Experience
All Building Construction has served Dundee and Yamhill County for nearly 20 years. Licensed in Oregon since 2006 (CCB #174384), we understand how homes here are built — from the volcanic clay beneath them to the moisture demands above.
A Perfect License Record — No Complaints or Penalties
Our Oregon contractor license remains in good standing with no complaints, penalties, or suspensions. For homeowners in a community where 92% own their homes, that record matters. You’re investing in your property long-term. We build like it.
Owner Oversight on Every Project
Owner Mark Prine oversees each project from planning through final walkthrough. In a small community like Dundee, reputation travels fast. Work is not handed off. Decisions are made with accountability and local knowledge.
Built on Planning, Not Shortcuts
Dundee has its own building department, its own permit process, and specific requirements like the Rain Screen Acknowledgement and Moisture Content forms. We plan early, pull permits through the city (503-538-3922), and coordinate electrical permits through Yamhill County separately. That upfront work prevents delays and failed inspections.
Our Dundee Construction Process
Step 1
Site Visit & Project Planning
We meet at your Dundee home to review the layout, structure, and goals. For homes in the hillside areas, we assess slope and soil conditions. For 1990s-era homes in the residential subdivisions, we evaluate what’s aging and what still has life. Every project starts with understanding what’s actually there.
Step 2
Permits, Coordination & Prep
We submit plans to the City of Dundee Building Department and pull structural, plumbing, and mechanical permits directly. Electrical permits go through Yamhill County. We handle the Rain Screen Acknowledgement, Moisture Content forms, and energy compliance documentation. Inspections are scheduled through the city’s 24-hour line.
Step 3
Construction & Final Walkthrough
The team completes the work with clear communication and local oversight. We schedule inspections at each required phase — foundation, rough framing, pre-close, and final. Then we walk through the finished project together to review details, answer questions, and confirm everything performs as planned.
Serving Dundee and Nearby Communities
We’re based in McMinnville — just a short drive down 99W from Dundee. We also serve homeowners across Yamhill County, including Newberg, Carlton, McMinnville, and Dayton. Many homes in these communities share similar building standards, climate conditions, and permitting requirements.

FAQs
How does Amity’s soil affect construction and remodeling?
The local Amity Silt Loam drains poorly and holds water near the surface. Aquic conditions exist at 10-20 inches depth, meaning seasonal water tables are high. This affects foundation work, crawl space conditions, and site drainage. We plan for proper drainage systems, sump pumps where needed, and foundation protection before breaking ground.
What should I know about building near Salt Creek or low-lying areas?
Verify your FEMA flood zone status before planning any project. Salt Creek forms Amity’s western boundary and low-lying areas near Rice Lane and downtown are prone to seasonal flooding. Properties in these zones may require elevated foundations or flood-proofing measures. We review flood zone maps during the planning phase and adjust construction methods accordingly.
Are there historic landmark restrictions in Amity?
Some properties carry restrictions through the city’s Historic Landmarks Committee.** If your home is designated as a historic landmark, exterior changes — including paint colors — may require additional review. We check landmark status during planning so there are no surprises midway through a project. Standard residential properties have no such restrictions.
When is the best time to start a construction project in Amity?
Contact us early — ideally 2-3 months before your target start date. Amity’s two-step permit process adds time that other Yamhill County locations don’t require. Summer (July-September) is the optimal construction window given Oregon’s wet climate, but interior work can proceed year-round. Early planning gives us time to coordinate permits, schedule inspections, and avoid delays.
