James Gravelle, owner of Gravelle Construction LLC
The Owner

Meet James

After 25 years coaching college football, I traded the sidelines for the job site. My wife and I moved our family to Portland three years ago, and it didn't take long before my lifelong love of building and fixing things turned into a second career — I earned my CCB license and started Gravelle Construction. When I'm not on a job site, I love spending time with my wife and watching our daughters grow into young adults, with three dogs and one very opinionated cat keeping things lively.
