Junior McDonald trained to become an electrician at Portland Community College and was working as one when he discovered a broader interest in construction. 鈥淥wning my own home really inspired me to learn more about construction as I had to work on several projects around my house,鈥� he said.
He started Black Dreams Construction in 2022 and provides general contracting, home additions, electrical, plumbing, roofing and landscaping services. McDonald partners with other contractors to support him on projects when he cannot complete them himself.
鈥淚 started my own company because I wanted to control my own schedule and have a way of helping others improve and maintain their homes,鈥� he said.
Black Dreams Construction partners with local organizations such as PCRI and the Portland Housing Bureau to develop projects that benefit seniors and low-income homeowners. The company also supports workforce development by providing opportunities for young adults entering the industry.
