From pole buildings to site excavation, Russell Construction & Excavation brings the same standard of craftsmanship to every project we take on. Locally owned and operated since 2007, we’ve built our reputation one project at a time across the Inland Northwest.
Whatever the scope of your project, our dedicated team handles it with the same attention to detail.
Built for storage, workspace, or livestock shelter, our pole buildings and barns are engineered to handle Inland Northwest weather.
We design and build decks around how you would actually use your property, with quality craftsmanship that holds up season after season.
Siding protects your home’s exterior while boosting curb appeal. We install it to last, not just to look good on day one.
Soffits play a role in ventilation and moisture control, and we install them as part of a complete, properly functioning exterior system.
Proper insulation is one of the most overlooked parts of a comfortable, efficient home. Our team installs it right the first time.
Residential and commercial excavation, site preparation, and grading, giving every project the solid foundation it needs.
Whether you’re adding a deck, building a pole barn, or improving your home’s exterior, we work directly with homeowners across the Inland Northwest to bring the project to life, on budget and on schedule.
Business owners need a construction partner who understands scope, timelines, and budget. From site excavation to exterior work, we bring the same standards to commercial properties that we bring to every residential project.
Russell Construction & Excavation is a family-owned construction company, and that shows up in how we treat every job, whether it’s a new deck for a homeowner or a full excavation project for a commercial client. Three generations of the Russell family have brought their pride into this business, and that dedication carries into every project our crews perform.
Construction projects go sideways when communication breaks down. That’s not how we operate. Our office staff and crews are responsive throughout the life of your project, and you’ll always know what’s happening and what to expect next.
We’re not learning the Inland Northwest’s climate, codes, or permitting process on your project. Lewiston experiences heavy winter snow loads and freezing temperatures, and our team understands the engineering considerations that come with that, along with the specific challenges of building in this region. We navigate local zoning laws and municipal permitting processes as part of every job, not as an afterthought, and that local experience makes a real difference in how smoothly a project goes.
Russell Construction & Excavation has been part of this community since 2007. We’ve built relationships with the families, business owners, and local communities we serve, and that matters to us as much as the projects themselves. This isn’t just business. These are our neighbors’ homes and properties, and our goal on every job is to give clients and customers a great experience from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
Each project we take on reflects our commitment to safety, quality, and doing the job right. Our crews are trained, our sites are managed carefully, and we treat every project, residential or commercial, the way we’d treat our own property.
We walk your property, listen to what you’re trying to achieve, and talk through scope, timeline, and budget.
We work out the details, from materials to site logistics, before anything begins, so there are no surprises once work starts.
We handle the permitting process and site preparation, coordinating with local jurisdictions so your project stays compliant from day one.
Our crews get to work, with regular updates so you always know where the project stands.
We walk the finished project with you, address any final details, and make sure the work meets our standard, and yours.
Not every construction company approaches a project the same way, and a few questions up front can save you potential concerns down the road.
Look for project fit. A contractor’s past work should align with the scope of what you’re building, whether that’s a pole barn, a deck, or a full excavation job. Ask for a detailed, written estimate rather than a verbal number, and use it as a resource to compare bids on scope, materials, and completion dates, not just the bottom-line price. A realistic payment schedule tied to project milestones is a good sign you’re working with a professional operation rather than one figuring it out as they go.
Local experience is also worth inquiring about. A construction company that’s handled the site conditions common to this region, from heavy snow load to specific soil and drainage challenges, carries a lot less risk into your project than one that hasn’t.
Every project we complete depends on the people who show up to do the work. Our crews bring dedication and passion to the trades, and we’re proud of the culture we’ve built as a family-owned company. If you’re looking for a career with a construction company that takes pride in its work and invests in its employees, we’re always interested in hearing from skilled, hardworking people.
