Family owned since 2017, Westmore runs its own cranes and its own construction crews, so one company handles the whole job.
A commercial general contractor and crane service based in Battle Ground, Washington, Westmore Construction is owned and run by Warren Kangas and Wyatt Kangas. The company operates two service lines under one ownership group: crane and rigging lifts across Clark County and the Portland metro, and commercial construction with steel building erection across Washington and Oregon. Both of the company's Google profiles, crane and construction, hold a 5.0 star rating.
The names on Westmore's Google reviews are the same names on the jobsite: Warren, Wyatt, Troy, Travis, and Matt. The crew is hands-on from the estimate to the last lift or the final inspection. That continuity is why the same names repeat across the company's Google reviews, project after project.
Westmore runs the Crane & Rigging division and the Construction & Steel division under the same ownership rather than as two separate companies.
Washington license WESTMCL836OJ and Oregon license CCB 234945 keep Westmore working legally in both states, with the Oregon license covering Commercial General Contractor Level 1 work. A job in Washington answers to Washington's contractor board, and a job in Oregon answers to Oregon's, so the paperwork follows the state the job lands in rather than the company that shows up to run it.

"Fast to work with me when I had a short notice crane pick request for downtown Portland. Yikes. No problem for these guys. They nailed the permit, traffic, and planning submittals in no time... They were safe, they worked fast... From the big boy 350 Ton to little boy crane needs - they are our team now."

Warren Kangas and Wyatt Kangas own and run the company, and Troy is the third face customers meet on a job. Westmore started in 2017. Customers name the owners and the operators directly when they write about a job. Carrie Sutherland, who had a metal building put up, writes that Warren and his team were "always professional and friendly and always reachable on the telephone."
Both divisions self-perform. The crane side owns three machines, the largest of them rated at 350 tons, and hauls them on company Freightliner trucks and trailers with no outside hauler involved. The steel side sets its own frames with its own crews instead of handing erection to another company. Trusted subcontractors cover trades outside that scope on a full construction project.
Commercial general contracting, construction management, preconstruction, and steel erection sit on the building side; operated crane lifts and rigging sit on the crane side. Homeowners hire the crane division for hot tub, spa, and equipment picks. Commercial and industrial projects are what the building side takes, not home improvement work. One ownership group and one certificate of insurance cover both.
Every operator across the fleet holds NCCCO certification, which is what Washington Labor and Industries requires of the person running the controls. Machine, certified operator, and rigging travel together on every job instead of being booked or priced apart. Liability coverage of one million dollars is carried in Washington and in Oregon alike.
Since 2017, out of Battle Ground, Washington, under the same ownership the whole way. Washington contractor license WESTMCL836OJ has stayed active with zero violations recorded across six years. Oregon CCB 234945 covers commercial general contracting on that side of the line. The company holds 5.0 stars on Google.
