Commercial building interior

Three Generations of Craft

Specialty Commercial Interiors

Harlen's Drywall was started in 1977 and incorporated in 1979, nearly five decades of commercial interior work in Vancouver, Washington. The standard founder Harlen Hiller set for the trade in the Portland–Vancouver metro is the same standard the company is measured against today.

The current principals run the company hands-on: Tim Hiller as Owner and CEO, Tami Thompson as Corporate Secretary & Treasurer, and Michael Hiller as Vice President & Project Manager. Together they keep Harlen's operating the way it has for decades: full commercial-scope crews, clean coordination with general contractors, and the kind of repeat-client relationships that don't happen by accident.

Across more than four decades, Harlen's has been the team behind the walls of the region's most demanding commercial projects: hospitals and medical office buildings, schools and civic spaces, hotels and luxury auto dealerships, mixed-use towers and tenant improvements. The longevity isn't accidental. It's the result of showing up, doing the work right, and earning the next project one job at a time.
