General contractor and home builder Hammer & Hand is dedicated to inciting evolution in building through service, science and craft ÐÊconstructing spaces that sustain and delight by: ¥ÊEmpowering employees, ¥ÊHarnessing 21st century building science, and ¥ Advancing the tradition of craftsmanship. Established in 1995, Hammer and Hand operates at the leading edge of precision craft. ÊEqually comfortable performing historic restoration on a Victorian home or building a cutting-edge Passive House commercial structure, we recognize that being a good builder today means being both a skilled craftsperson and an expert building scientist. ÊSo we respect the ingenuity and handiwork of our career carpenters who employ historical techniques in building their work, and we train ourselves in the world's most rigorous green building standards. ÊWe work at the leading edge of new, environmentally responsible building, while incorporating the respect for Nature that's a hallmark of both the Arts and Crafts era and today's environmental movement. We serve the Pacific Northwest area with offices in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA.
