Sitting where the Siuslaw River meets the Pacific Ocean on the central Oregon Coast, Florence is one of western Lane County’s most distinctive building markets, and we build for its demanding coastal setting. Salt air, wind driven rain, high humidity, and sandy dune soils all influence how a home must be built here, which is why we use corrosion resistant materials, weather tight detailing, and proper drainage on every coastal project. We build ground up custom and view homes near the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and along the riverfront, where ocean, dune, and river views make custom builds, ADUs, and view oriented additions especially desirable. We also complete careful remodels on the charming cottages and shops of historic Old Town Florence and meet the steady demand for vacation and short term rental ADUs created by the area’s strong tourism economy.

Anchored by tourism, fishing, and a growing retirement community, and surrounded by the dunes, lakes such as Woahink and Siltcoos, and the iconic Heceta Head Lighthouse to the north, Florence continues to attract new residents and second home buyers. The neighboring coastal communities of Dunes City, Mapleton, Reedsport, Gardiner, and Yachats are also growing with new homes and ADUs on view, dune, and acreage lots. As the coast expands and homeowners choose to build or improve rather than relocate, Kempf Construction helps them add ADUs, remodel, and build new homes that are fully permitted, code compliant, and engineered to last in the coastal climate.
