Paul Brothers, Inc. (PBI) is a third generation construction company, licensed and registered in the state of Oregon and Washington. Specializing in public works contracts, PBI was founded over 50 years ago as a General Contractor.

PBI has many strengths, not the least of which are our employees.

The longevity of employment in our key personnel is critical – we rely on their experience and expertise in successfully completing a vast array of projects. Whether constructing a ballfield complex, overseeing a large highway landscape and irrigation project, overhauling a city park, constructing interurban trails, incorporating bioretention swales in neighborhoods, PBI has a long track record of excellent construction operations. Our crew, both on the job and in the office, has many years of experience trouble-shooting and taking a project from beginning to end with great diligence, discipline and follow-through.

PBI has done projects both as a General Contractor as well as a subcontractor.

As the General, we have the experience of dealing with public agency requirements, be they state, federal and/or local municipalities. As a subcontractor, we have worked with, and for, some of the largest contractors in the west as a landscape specialist, earning their respect along the way. We are proud of our work and the value it has given to the communities and agencies we have served. As a third generation, family-run business, we take our relations seriously and it shows in how we do our business.

In Memory of Daniel Scott PaulJuly 1989 - July 2019

It is said that Daniel Scott Paul had one small day in his life: the day he was born, weighing in at a tiny 6lbs 2 oz…his one small day. From then on, Daniel did everything else BIG. He lived big, he loved big, he adventured big, he worked big, he simply WAS big. He was a friend to all, a champion of the underdog, the instigator, adventurer, explorer, leader, the great unifier of all walks of life. He grew up in Boring, Oregon, graduated from Barlow HS in 2007 and headed to Boise State University on a full athletic scholarship for football. Boise State served as the canvas for countless memories and friendships and the place where he met his soul-mate, best-friend who became his wife in 2015 on the banks of the Sandy River in Oregon.

The greatest of joys arrived 16 mos ago when they welcomed their son.
Daniel was the springboard to launching our 3rd generation of family for Paul Brothers in 2013. He worked his way through his summers during high school and upon graduating from college, began his professional career. He was a workhorse, a brilliant site superintendent, a problem solver, quick thinker, and calming source for all in an industry that is fast-paced and ever evolving. He was our ambassador in the field, was kind and smart and passionate, and was proud of his own roots he was laying down for Paul Brothers.

Sadly for us all, Daniel passed away on July 10th 2019 of unknown causes. He was 30 years old. There have been so many stories shared, blogs posted, news articles written, messages sent, social media notes made that have chronicled his life so poignantly and perfectly…his spirit and zest and loves so keenly. Thank you to each of you that have written such endearing words.

Daniel leaves behind a family, friends, and co-workers from all over that will forever do their best to Live Like Dan and remember his spirit and passion for life and love always.
