About Us
Family-Run Construction & Carpentry in Grants Pass, Oregon
At Joseph R Ward Expert Carpentry & Construction, family values guide every build.
Founded by Joe Ward, a hands-on craftsman with over 30 years of experience, and supported by his son Patrick, our small team brings precision, pride, and reliability to every remodel across the Rogue Valley.
We believe great construction and carpentry in Grants Pass isn’t just about materials — it’s about trust, integrity, and accountability. From framing to fine finish work, we treat every home as if it were our own.
Our Story
Joe is a second-generation carpenter, raised around tools, job sites, and the kind of builders who believed in honest work and results that last. Over the years, he built his own reputation the same way — through meticulous craftsmanship, fair pricing, and a commitment to getting it done right the first time.
When his son Patrick stepped in as a third-generation carpenter, that legacy only grew stronger. Together, they bring the best of both worlds: Joe’s decades of hands-on experience and Patrick’s modern skillset and fresh perspective.
As a father-and-son team, they’ve helped transform homes throughout Grants Pass, Merlin, Rogue River, and the greater Rogue Valley — blending old-school quality with today’s efficiency.
