Most homeowners think insurance claims are pretty straightforward:

Step 1. Something gets damaged.
Step 2. Insurance pays to fix it.
Step 3. The contractor does the work.

In reality, the process has gotten much more complicated.

Today, claims are heavily driven by documentation, scope, supplements, pricing, and how well the damage is managed from the very beginning. That’s especially true with water damage, burst pipes, mold, and other everyday property losses we see here in Oregon.

We put together a new article breaking down why claims are getting harder, why some fall short, and why the contractor you choose matters more than most people realize.

Insurance claims are more complex than ever. See why scope, documentation, and process determine whether your claim is fully paid.

Friday night. A call came in at 5pm, a water emergency at a local retail space. This is our crew at 11, after.

If you ever find yourself with a water emergency wondering if anyone is going to answer, the answer is yes. These guys.

The Easter Bunny came!!

Nearly 500 eggs hidden all over the shop and office this weekend—and once the crews heard a bunch had lottery tickets inside, it was game on.

And these aren’t easy. We’re talking eggs stuck 40’ up on the shop ceiling and tucked in spots you’d never think to look.

We’ll be finding these for weeks… maybe months

We recently learned that Oregon Restoration was named the Top Water Damage Service Provider in Portland in BusinessRate’s March 2026 report, ranking first out of 32 companies.

Recognition like this reflects the work we do every day. Responding to water damage emergencies means helping people through stressful situations and doing the kind of behind-the-scenes work most never see. It is work we take pride in, and we show up ready to help when people need it.

We are grateful for the people on our team who make that possible and for the customers who trust us when they need help the most.

We took a little time this morning to celebrate our Mitigation team and their accomplishments in Q3 2025.

Restoration work isn’t easy. It means responding to emergencies at 2 a.m., crawling around in wet crawlspaces, and doing the detailed cleaning that helps homeowners recover after something goes wrong.

This quarter the team set several internal records, and we recognized some standout performers including Jesse (Producer of the Quarter) and James (Most Improved).

We also continued one of our favorite traditions: the quarterly photo contest. This quarter’s theme was Teamwork, and the coordinators clearly understood the assignment. (Trust us, it's worth the click through just to see it!)

Congrats to the entire team on a great quarter.

We’re a busy shop, so we don’t pause very often to reflect. But as we move into 2026, we thought we’d take a moment to look at our progress.

• Welcomed 30 new teammates, bringing our team to 118
• Completed nearly 800 projects for homeowners and businesses across Oregon & SW Washington
• Earned 97 five-star reviews on Google and Yelp
• Were honored with four awards, including Inc. 5000 and Top 100 Places to Work in Oregon (for the seventh straight year)
• Opened a new location in Eugene

None of this happens without an incredible team and the trust of our clients. We learned a lot this year, and most of all, we got better. We’re excited about what’s to come in 2026.

OK, that’s enough reflecting. We’re getting back to work.

Happy New Year!

Storm season isn’t taking a holiday, and neither are we.

After the recent storms, our teams have been out around the clock helping homeowners and businesses deal with water intrusion, roof damage, and flooding. With more weather on the way, we’ll continue to have crews available 24/7 through Christmas and New Year’s if you need help.

We also put together a straightforward guide to help answer a question we hear all the time: when is a water issue really an emergency, and when can it wait?

If you’re dealing with water where it shouldn’t be and you’re not sure what to do next, don’t hesitate to reach out. Sometimes a quick conversation is all it takes to figure out the right next step.

Learn how to tell when water damage is an emergency, when it’s urgent, and when monitoring makes sense during storm season in Oregon and Washington.

On Saturday we night, we packed the Embassy Suites in Tigard for our annual holiday party. Great food, more than 170 teammates and guests, Adam the Great, Magician blowing our minds with his illusions, and our holiday raffle with nearly 100 prizes, including a $1,700 Hotels.com gift card!

It was the perfect way to celebrate another huge year for our team. New awards, incredible new teammates, and new locations and divisions. A lot to proud of, and even more to be grateful for.

This is what makes Oregon Restoration what it is. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a night to remember!

Eat your heart out, Picasso.

An industrial hygienist stopped by a project today and sent us this note:

“We are LOVING the skillful containment set up Eliseo did. It’s a work of art.”

Great work, Eli. This kind of attention to the craft is what makes Oregon Restoration who we are.
