Rickenbach Construction designed and built a
custom home for Bob Letsinger. Michelle designed it
during the summer after she graduated from Astoria
High School. The home was built while I attended my
first year of college at Brigham Young University.
Rickenbach Construction formed a partnership
with Mike Graham and built the new Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints in Seaside.

Rickenbach Construction bonded and built the
large addition and remodel to the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day Saints in Astoria. This is the same
church John Rickenbach moved to Astoria to build in
1963.
Bob Chopping, owner of KAST Radio Station,
contacted Rickenbach Construction about doing a
remodel and addition to the small radio station he owned
across from the High School. Michelle came home
during the holiday season and designed the addition with
a residence for Bob and Margaret on the second floor.
The project was built shortly after by Rickenbach
Construction.During the 1980s, Rickenbach Construc-
tion was involved in some new residential construction
and lots of smaller commercial remodels.

Rickenbach Construction tore down the well-known
and almost historic Dairy Queen and built a new one in
its place for Dave and Jill Bodway. This was the first
new commercial project for Rickenbach Construction.
After the Dairy Queen was completed, Rickenbach
Construction built a new Bank of Astoria in Seaside.
Jared Rickenbach graduated from Astoria High
School. That same year Jared started a two-year
mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day
Saints in Toronto, Canada, returning home in 1994.
In the fall, Jared Rickenbach attended the Oregon
State University majoring in construction
engineering. During the summers and on breaks from
school, Jared returned to Astoria to work for the
family company as much as possible. He graduated
from OSU in the spring of 1999. Jared and his wife,
Jenna, moved to Astoria and Jared picked up where
he had left off, working for and helping to manage
Rickenbach Construction with his father, John.
1996
Michelle and her husband, David Dieffenbach,
moved to Astoria. David & Michelle, both being
licensed architects and familiar with construction,
went to work for Rickenbach Construction. David
was a field supervisor for construction projects and
Michelle worked in the office.
Michelle’s first job was the design of the Clatsop
County Animal Shelter. Rickenbach Construction had
been awarded the project through the bid process, but
the building was unable to be built on the current site.
A different site was secured in Warrenton and a
complete redesign of the building was required.
Rickenbach Construction Inc. designed and built the
facility as their first design-build project.
Rickenbach Construction Inc. has always been
proud of our charity work and contributions. The
officers have been of service to the following groups:
Astoria Children’s Museum, Rotary International,
CMH Foundation, Cascade local chapter of Boy
Scouts of America, North Coast Home Builders
Association, City of Astoria Design Review and
Historic Landmarks Committees.
