About Us
Local Craftsmanship. Honest Service. Outdoor Spaces Built to Last.
CraftHaven Carpentry is a locally owned and operated outdoor living company based in Gervais, Oregon, serving homeowners throughout the Willamette Valley. Founded in November 2023 by Phillip Toran, CraftHaven was built on a simple idea: every homeowner deserves a contractor who shows up on time, communicates clearly, uses quality materials, and takes genuine pride in the finished product.
We specialize in custom decks, pergolas, patios, siding, outdoor kitchens, and more. Whether it’s a backyard deck for weekend cookouts or a full outdoor living space with a covered patio and fire pit, we approach every project with the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Meet Phillip Toran, Owner & Founder
When you call CraftHaven Carpentry, you’re not talking to a sales team or a call center—you’re talking to Phillip, the person who will be involved in your project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Phillip founded CraftHaven Carpentry because he saw too many homeowners getting let down by contractors who overpromised and underdelivered. He wanted to build something different: a company where the owner is on the job, where communication is straightforward, and where the quality of the work speaks for itself.
As a Trex Certified Installer, Phillip has earned manufacturer-level recognition for his expertise in composite deck building. But his skills go well beyond decking—from pergola framing and patio construction to siding installation and outdoor kitchens, his carpentry background is the foundation of everything CraftHaven does.

Our Mission
Our mission is to help Gervais and Willamette Valley homeowners create outdoor spaces they’re proud of—built with quality materials, honest pricing, and craftsmanship that lasts. We believe every project, no matter the size, deserves our full attention and best work.
What We Stand For
Craftsmanship Over Shortcuts
We don’t rush jobs, cut corners on materials, or skip steps to save time. Every joint, connection, and finish detail matters, and we treat your home the way we’d treat our own.
Honest, Transparent Communication
You’ll know what your project costs before we start, what the timeline looks like, and what to expect at every stage. If something changes, we talk to you first—no surprises.
Respect for Your Property
We show up on time, keep the work area clean, and leave your property in better shape than we found it. A great finished product shouldn’t come with a mess.
Long-Term Relationships Over Quick Sales
We’re not interested in high-pressure sales tactics. We want to earn your trust, do great work, and be the first call you make next time you need something built.

Why Homeowners Choose CraftHaven Carpentry
There are a lot of contractors in Oregon. Here’s what makes CraftHaven different:

- Licensed, Bonded, and Insured – Every project is fully covered for your protection. We carry the proper licensing and insurance so you never have to worry.
- Trex Certified Installer – We’ve earned certification from Trex, one of the leading composite decking manufacturers in the industry. This means your composite deck is installed to manufacturer specifications, protecting your product warranty.
- Owner-Operated – Phillip is involved in every project. You’re not handed off to a crew you’ve never met. The person who gives you the estimate is the same person who oversees the build.
- Premium Materials – We work with trusted brands like Trex, TimberTech, Dekorators, James Hardie, and high-quality cedar. We don’t use cheap materials to pad margins.
- Transparent Pricing – Your estimate is detailed, written, and final. No hidden fees, no vague allowances, no change-order surprises.
- Financing Available – Through our partnership with Acorn Finance, we offer flexible payment options so your project fits your budget.
- Free Estimates – Every project starts with a free on-site consultation. We’ll visit your home, discuss your goals, and provide a clear quote at no cost and no obligation.
