If you’re experiencing an active property loss, time is critical. Here are some things you should do (and not do) right away:
While it might be tempting to handle mold, water, or fire damage cleanup yourself, it’s often not advisable due to the complexities and potential hazards involved. Professional restoration services like Oregon Restoration use specialized equipment and techniques to ensure thorough and safe remediation. For instance, mold can pose serious health risks and requires proper containment and removal. Water damage needs immediate and precise action to prevent further damage and mold growth. Fire and smoke damage involves intricate cleaning and restoration processes to address structural and air quality issues. For your safety and to ensure proper restoration, it’s best to rely on the professional problem-solvers at Oregon Restoration.
Not all restoration contractors are the same. At Oregon Restoration, we stand out as a locally-based, employee-owned company, which is not a franchise. Our team is comprised of experienced professionals who take personal pride in their work, driven by our unique ownership structure that fosters a strong commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Here are just a few reasons why homeowners and commercial property managers trust Oregon Restoration when disaster strikes:

At Oregon Restoration, we guarantee our work through a combination of rigorous quality control and comprehensive customer care. Before completing any job, our inspectors conduct a thorough walk-through with the client to ensure every aspect of the project meets and exceeds expectations. For mold remediation, we include post-project mold testing by a third party to verify safety as part of every project.
We also offer a three-year warranty on our mitigation work, covering defects in workmanship and materials. This warranty begins from the date of project completion. While it covers issues related to our work, it excludes damage caused by external factors, unauthorized modifications, and normal wear and tear.
To make a warranty claim, please contact us at claims@oregonrestoration.com and provide the following details:
Upon receipt of your claim, we will inspect the issue and determine whether it falls under the warranty coverage. If it does, we will take appropriate steps to remedy the problem at no additional cost to you.
At Oregon Restoration, we maintain a dedicated, in-house team of skilled professionals to handle the majority of our projects. This approach allows us to ensure consistent quality, communication, and accountability. While we occasionally collaborate with trusted subcontractors for specialized tasks, these partners are carefully vetted and adhere to our high standards. Every project is overseen by a dedicated project manager from start to completion, ensuring a seamless and controlled restoration process. This project manager is the primary point of contact and is always available to our clients. For any immediate concerns, you can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at 503-860-9567.
Every property loss is unique, requiring a tailored approach to meet the specific needs of each situation. While no two jobs are the same, Oregon Restoration’s projects generally follow three key phases to ensure comprehensive and effective recovery.
We respond immediately to emergencies, assigning a project manager to assess the damage and begin mitigation. This phase typically involves water extraction, drying, and removing unsalvageable materials, usually taking 2 to 3 days for minor damage and up to 14 days for mold projects. Fire & smoke mitigation will often take longer than 14 days.
Our project manager collaborates with insurance adjusters to create and approve an itemized repair estimate. This process ensures all parties agree on the scope of work before reconstruction begins.
Once the repair estimate is approved, our reconstruction team schedules and conduct the reconstruction work, coordinating with subcontractors as necessary. Clients select replacement materials with our assistance, and we ensure all work meets industry standards. The process concludes with a final walkthrough and a Certificate of Satisfaction.
Throughout the process, our dedicated project managers maintain clear communication, ensuring clients are informed and comfortable every step of the way. For any questions or after-hours concerns, clients can reach us 24/7 at 503-860-9567.
A quick dryout for minor water damage may take as little as 2 to 3 days, while more extensive projects, particularly those requiring a reconstruction phase, can take weeks and sometimes even months. Our priority is to complete each project correctly rather than quickly. We provide a detailed timeline at the project’s outset and keep clients informed throughout. While delays can and do happen, our years of experience in this industry has taught us that communication and transparency is the foundation to a successful restoration project.

In some cases, a small inspection deposit may be required to reserve time with our inspection team. If a deposit applies, it is always communicated upfront and is credited toward the project if you choose to move forward with us.
