Who We Are
Built on Family, Quality, and Trust
Sawtooth Caulking began in June 2000 when Tyler and Reba Stoller founded the company in Idaho with a simple but ambitious goal: to bring precision, protection, and performance to every project. Just two years later, in 2002, the company moved to Oregon – Tyler’s hometown – and began building the reputation it carries today.
Over the past two decades, we’ve grown from a small, family-first business into a respected Division 7 contractor serving commercial clients across the United States. Growth has never changed what drives us. We are committed to developing skilled professionals, maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, and operating with the discipline needed to ensure long-term success.
Our Legacy
As our company has evolved, so has our brand. We’re proud of the journey that got us here, and our legacy logos represent the steady growth and enduring trust we’ve built in the Northwest construction industry.
