We’re proud to announce that for the 7th straight year, Oregon Restoration Co. has once again been named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon by Oregon Business Magazine — ranking #12 among medium-sized companies in the 2025 statewide survey.
For us, this recurring recognition is more than just a badge of success — it’s a reflection of the culture, commitment, and care we bring to everything we do.
What Is the “100 Best Companies” Award?
The 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon is an annual list published by Oregon Business Magazine, based on anonymous employee surveys and an in-depth analysis of workplace policies and practices.
Companies are scored on key dimensions like:
- Work environment
- Management and communication
- Trust and accountability
- Compensation and benefits
- Career development
- Sustainability
This year, 83% of our employees participated in the survey, and their feedback helped Oregon Restoration score well above the peer group average in areas like employee satisfaction, company culture, and trust in leadership.
What This Award Means to Us
At Oregon Restoration, our quality restoration services and customer care reflect the trust, opportunities, and investment we have built with our employees. Being recognized as one of Oregon’s Best Companies affirms that our team members feel valued, supported, and motivated. That means everything to us.
“When I started this company, I had a simple vision: to create the best possible place to work for professionals in my beloved trade of disaster repair,” says Ryan Gilyeat, President and Founder of Oregon Restoration. “I knew that if you treat people right – as a person, not a position – and support their growth, they will have passion for what they do in return.”
Whether it’s through a workplace culture rooted in teamwork and flexibility, competitive benefits and professional development support, or our shared belief in doing the right thing for customers and coworkers alike, this award tells us we’re living up to the values that matter.
“Winning this award is important to me because it’s my report card as the founder of this awesome company. But I can’t take all the credit of course. I have an amazing team of partners and managers who help set the tone and culture that makes us, us.”
How It Impacts Our Team
We believe happy, respected, and empowered employees do their best work. When we invest in our team, it shows in everything we do — from our job sites to our customer service.
Employees shared comments like:
- “I truly enjoy coming to work and working hard for these people.”
- “I’ve never worked at a place that supports each other so much.”
- “This company is creating careers for many of us by empowering us to learn new skills and grow.”
This recognition encourages us to keep listening, keep improving, and keep investing in the people who make Oregon Restoration a great company to work for.
Why It Matters for Our Customers
Our customers trust us during some of the most difficult times in their lives — after fire, flood, or mold damage. When our team feels connected, supported, and proud of their work, it translates into greater care, higher-quality service, and a more compassionate experience for the families we serve.
