History

Change Commercial Services is a family-owned business that got its start in 2017 after a friend in the janitorial supply industry needed some assistance with a project. A local school district had purchased 6,000 paper towel dispensers, but they didn’t have anyone to install them. 

Ben, one of our owners, tried to say no, but in the end, he and his son, Levi decided to find out how they could help with the project. Once it was completed, the concept for a business had been born, and it’s been steadily growing since that time. 

Today, Change Commercial Services offers several services for the Portland/Salem, Oregon area, including: 

  • General Commercial Contracting

  • Finish Carpentry

  • Janitorial Installation and Service

  • Logistics Services

Change Commercial Services is certified as
Emerging Small Business (ESB) for the State of Oregon
Certification No: 13644

 
 
 
 

  • OWNER, MANAGING MEMBER |

    Ben Dodson never considered himself to be an entrepreneur until he got the vision for Change Commercial Services. Ben started the business working with his son, Levi, and he says, “This industry found me and I just did what I knew to do.”

    Ben believes that nothing is as important as customer service, and he believes it’s severely lacking in this industry. His goal is to build lasting relationships with his customers and he’s an administrator who loves people at his core. Ben believes that because he has empowered his team and placed his trust in them, they’ve become incredible leaders who have met every challenge that has come their way.

    In his spare time, Ben enjoys his drones hobby and has gotten into livestreaming and media production. He loves being creative, new tech, and mining cryptocurrency
