Sheridan Building, Done Right.
All Building Construction serves homeowners in Sheridan from our McMinnville office, just 13 miles up Highway 18. We know the challenges that come with building in this community — clay-heavy soils, a 6-month wet season, and the reality that roughly 40% of the city sits within FEMA’s 100-year floodplain. The South Yamhill River bisects the town east to west, and that shapes how foundations, drainage, and additions need to be planned here. We handle permits through Sheridan City Hall and coordinate inspections with Yamhill County. Whether you own a pre-1940 bungalow near Bridge Street or a newer home in the surrounding subdivisions, we build with local conditions accounted for from day one.

Our services address how these homes are actually built — and what they need now.
Our Core Service Areas
Why Sheridan Homeowners Choose All Building Construction
Flood Zone Building Experience
Sheridan is the only community in Yamhill County that participates in FEMA’s Community Rating System. That means special compliance requirements for any construction in the floodplain — elevated foundations, flood-resistant materials, and drainage engineering. We understand these requirements and build to them without costly mid-project corrections.
A Clean License Record Since 2006
Our Oregon contractor license (CCB #174384) has zero complaints, zero penalties, and zero suspensions. For Sheridan homeowners investing in their property, that record reflects consistent, code-compliant work over nearly two decades.
Owner Oversight on Every Project
Owner Mark Prine oversees each project from the initial site visit through final walkthrough. Work is not handed off to a project manager you have never met. Decisions stay with someone who has direct accountability and local knowledge.
Built for Sheridan’s Soil and Climate
The Yamhill Series silty clay beneath Sheridan expands when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement stresses foundations, cracks finishes, and causes drainage failures if not accounted for. We design foundations, select materials, and plan drainage with these specific soil conditions in mind — not generic valley-floor assumptions.
Our Sheridan Construction Process
Step 1
Site Visit & Project Planning
We meet at your Sheridan property to evaluate the structure, site conditions, and project scope. For properties near the South Yamhill River or in mapped flood zones, we assess elevation, drainage patterns, and any flood plain compliance requirements upfront — before design work begins.
Step 2
Permits, Coordination & Prep
Plans are submitted to Sheridan City Hall (120 SW Mill Street) for building permits, with a minimum 3-week plan check timeline. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits go through Oregon’s ePermitting system. We coordinate Yamhill County inspection scheduling so work moves forward without gaps.
Step 3
Construction & Final Walkthrough
Construction follows the approved plans with regular communication and county inspections at each required stage. At completion, we walk through the finished work together to confirm everything meets the scope, the code, and your expectations.
Serving Sheridan and Nearby Communities
We serve homeowners throughout western Yamhill County from our McMinnville office. In addition to Sheridan, we work in McMinnville, Willamina, and Amity. Many homes across this area share similar soil conditions, climate exposure, and permitting processes through Yamhill County.

FAQs
Yes, if your property is in a mapped flood zone. Approximately 40% of Sheridan falls within the FEMA 100-year floodplain. The City of Sheridan requires a flood plain compliance review before issuing building permits for properties in these areas. This affects foundation design, material selection, and finished floor elevations. We identify whether your property is in a flood zone during the initial site visit and plan accordingly.
Expect a minimum of three weeks for plan review. Building permits go through Sheridan City Hall at 120 SW Mill Street. You will need one set of plans plus a plot plan showing property line distances, existing structures, and septic system location if applicable. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are handled separately through Oregon’s statewide ePermitting system. We manage the full submission and follow-up process.
The flood zone coverage and rainfall intensity. Sheridan receives 48-55 inches of rain annually — wetter than valley-floor cities like McMinnville. Combined with the fact that 40% of the city is in the floodplain, construction here requires more attention to drainage, foundation elevation, and moisture-resistant materials. The Yamhill Series clay soils add seasonal movement that affects foundations and flatwork differently than sandy or loam soils elsewhere in the county.
It depends on when your home was built. Homes constructed before 1993 were built to lower seismic standards. Yamhill County sits in Seismic Zone 3, with a 37% probability of a 7.1+ magnitude earthquake from the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the next 50 years. Foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and structural connection upgrades are the most common retrofits. We can evaluate your home’s current condition and recommend practical improvements during a site visit.
As early as possible — ideally 2-3 months before you want construction to begin. Sheridan’s 3-week minimum plan review, plus design time and scheduling, means early planning prevents delays. The best outdoor construction window in this area runs June through September. If your project involves exterior work or foundation excavation, starting the planning process in late winter or early spring gives the most flexibility.
