Striving for excellence in construction, renovation
By Jim Cornelius editor in chief
A family connection to Black
Butte Ranch led Mike Dyer into
the construction business in
Sisters, where he has built a rep-
utation for creativity and expert
craftsmanship.
While Mike was growing up
on the beach in Corpus Cristi,
Texas, his future wife, Jill, was
growing up vacationing at Black
Butte Ranch. The couple met in
college in Lubbock, Texas. Mike9s
education and early work experi-
ence was in a field unrelated to
construction 4 and he found he
did not enjoy it. On a visit with
Jill9s parents at the Ranch, he was
introduced to a local builder, and
in 1998, he went to work for the
well-regarded contractor. <I was
green as all get-out. I didn9t have
a clue what I was doing,= Dyer
recalled. But it turned out he had
a knack for construction 4 and
he fell in love with the work. He
learned to work successfully in
high-end construction by adhering
to a high standard of excellence.
By 2001, when Mike and Jill9s first
child was born, he was ready to
venture out on his own with Dyer
Construction and Renovation. For
Dyer and his crew of craftsmen,
<good enough= just isn9t. Every
photo provided
person on the crew is expected to
always give their best 4 and that9s
the way they want it.
<Building a house is not rocket
science, but it requires structural
integrity from dirt to roof. = Mike
said. <Every nail, every 2 by 4,
every cut builds on the one before.
We are not perfect but we9re
always striving for excellence.=
With that commitment, Dyer has
developed a reputation that has
made them a go-to firm for craft-
ing homes in Black Butte Ranch,
Sage Meadow, Coyote Springs,
Deer Ridge, Sisters, Bend, and
Redmond.
In addition to new construc-
tion, Dyer specializes in cohesive
remodels, bringing a new project
to sync with an existing home.
Many of their clients invest in sus-
tainable homes and are passionate
about <green= projects, as is
Dyer himself, who is profession-
ally certified in Earth Advantage
Sustainable Homes. Dyer also
offers <universal design= princi-
ples that allow for a home to con-
tinue to be suitable as the Sisters
population ages in place. Dyer
points to a home in Pine Meadow
Village where they installed an
elevator, and to a home on Jordan
Road that featured wider hallways
and doorways that allowed the
home to remain functional for an
aging client.
<It9s our job to provide ideas
to improve on the design, and
it9s your job to say yes or no,=
Dyer said. Dyer recognizes that
residential construction can be
a very emotional process 4 after
all, home truly is where the heart
is. For many people, a home is
a family legacy. Mike is good at
helping people work through the
anxieties and pressures of the
building or renovation process.
And he loves it when clients give
him and his crew the freedom to
be creative. He cites a home at
Black Butte Ranch where <they
really allowed us to be artistic.=
With freedom to innovate, the
house became Dyer9s biggest-bud-
get home and one of his favorite
projects. <That house is beauti-
ful and the design stands out,= he
said.
Clients looking for the highest
level of quality in realizing vision
for their home have learned to
turn to Dyer Construction and
Renovation. And a commitment
to the craft keep Mike Dyer and
his crew turning out to the job site
each day loving what they do.
We craft custom homes that
refl ect the lives of our clients
and the values of Dyer…
Our experience was enhanced because of the
fl exibility, vision, and dependability of Mike Dyer.
It was also good to work with a contractor
who takes pride and delight in his work.
