Larry Helligso's family tradition of building caught him at an early age. Years of watching and helping his father Chris, owner of H and H Builders, construction buildings, boats, and furniture drew Larry to the industry. After serving in the USAF from 1971 to 1975, Larry entered the union carpenters apprentice program. Early project experience included the construction of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, Performing Arts Center, and the Jewell School Campus while employed with Mittet Construction. Additional significant projects included the remodel and renovation of Astoria City Hall with H and H Builders.
Founded in 1978, Larry Helligso Construction Co. has a rich history of building trust and quality homes. Starting with humble beginnings and a focus on residential remodels, accessory buildings, and limited new home construction, we have grown to become a leading contractor in the area. Our commitment to excellence and attention to detail have helped us weather economic ups and downs, ensuring we've always been there for our clients.
As the economy began to rebound in 1984, Larry Helligso seized the opportunity to expand his construction business. Recognizing the growing demand for skilled labor and the potential for larger projects, he incorporated Larry Helligso Construction Co. This strategic move laid the foundation for the company's future success, enabling it to secure more substantial contracts and establish a stronger presence in the local market.
1990's proved to be successful with commercial remodel and renovation and residential remodels, additions and new homes. By the early 90's Helligso has established itself as a legitimate and capable commercial building company in the county.

In 2002, Ryan joined the company as Vice President after a successful seven-year career in the Portland electrical industry. His expertise in estimating and project management quickly benefited the company, enabling us to adapt to the rapidly changing construction industry and allowing Larry to focus on overseeing all field activities. Our goal was to expand into the commercial market, public works, and pre-engineered steel buildings. In 2008, Helligso joined the American Building Co group of authorized builders.
2008 ushered in Ryans wife Brandi to run daily office manager and accounting duties. The increasing demands of project specific accounting and HR requirements and certified payroll in multiple states made Brandi and a small support staff the perfect fit.
In 2014, Larry concluded his 36-year career in commercial construction and eagerly embraced retirement. He anticipated spending quality time with loved ones and pursuing his agricultural interests on his farm in Olney, Oregon.
Today Ryan (president) and Brandi (Sec/Treasure) have approx. 15 employees completing projects on the Oregon coast and SW Washington.
