About

Gingerich Bauherren, LLC is a family owned and operated construction company based in Tillamook, Oregon. The company became an LLC in 2019. When the company was formed, Joshua was well-rounded in carpentry after three decades of Oregon Coast building experience framing beach houses in Manzanita, Oregon and installing unique and complex finish works in the custom homes of Neskowin, Oregon.

Joshua was a U.S. Navy brat before settling in Tillamook in 1988. In early years, he would pass time on a rigging crew for a local logging company by setting chokers for whichever yarder side he happened to be working on at the time. He would regularly spend most if not all of his earnings passionately flying a Cessna 172 out of Tillamook Airport or surfing the swells between Cape Meares and Cape Kiwanda. He inevitably found his vocation and began building his career in 1994 while working for a small contractor on South Prairie Road.

While siding a house on the Nestucca River in the summer of 2003, Joshua was recruited by the Nestucca fire chief to be a interim volunteer structural fire lieutenant at Station 82 in Pacific City before moving to Oceanside in 2006. During the economic recession in 2009, Joshua returned to college to acquire a fire science degree and soon became a private wildland firefighter and eventually a heavy equipment wildland fire contractor. At the end of every fire season, Joshua returned to his building projects and honed skills on the construction site before donning his raingear through the winter. His background in building construction methods, structural fire protection and adherence to Oregon building and fire codes provided him the opportunity to outshine others in the field.
