By: Emily Foster
A Trusted, Full-Service Partner When Disaster Strikes
When water, fire, mold, or storm damage disrupts a home or business, speed and clarity are crucial. Paul Davis Restoration of Portland/Vancouver has built its reputation on both. As one of the largest restoration companies in the Northwest, the locally owned and family-operated team provides comprehensive service that begins the moment an emergency call is received and continues through final reconstruction. With a workforce of 160 professionals, a fleet of 100 vehicles, and more than 100,000 square feet of facilities, the company is equipped for rapid response, a wealth of expertise, and consistent quality from start to finish.
All-In-One Restoration From Mitigation to Rebuild
Unlike providers that focus on only one phase of a loss, Paul Davis Restoration of Portland/Vancouver manages the entire restoration process. The team handles mitigation and structural drying, demolition, in-house abatement, contents restoration and storage for textiles, electronics, furniture, and hard goods, followed by full reconstruction. This integrated approach helps minimize downtime and communication gaps while managing budgets effectively. It also means that clients have one accountable partner overseeing each step, so property owners don’t need to coordinate with multiple vendors during an already stressful time.
Speed, Communication, and Quality at the Center
The company’s operating model prioritizes urgency. IICRC-certified specialists and project managers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Two shifts run daily, with an on-call team ready to deploy so drying can begin promptly and secondary damage can be avoided. Communication is structured and proactive. Clients receive daily reports during mitigation and weekly updates throughout reconstruction, along with regular job progress reviews that help keep projects on track and transparent. That approach reflects the company’s commitment to getting it right or making it right, as they strive to meet expectations at every stage.
Insurance Fluency That Keeps Projects on Track
Navigating insurance can be just as challenging as repairing the damage itself. Paul Davis Restoration of Portland/Vancouver brings extensive experience with claim documentation and estimating. The team uses industry-standard platforms, including Xactimate, and time-and-materials tracking for commercial work. By collaborating closely with adjusters and carriers, they help direct resources where they are most needed for restoration quality and timelines. This often leads to fewer surprises, fewer delays, and a smoother transition back to normal operations.
What Customers Say When It Matters Most
Client feedback often emphasizes fast action, clear communication, and high-quality craftsmanship. “The speed of water mitigation response, quality of work, and communication throughout the process were all impressive,” wrote homeowner Erica Kennett, who compared her recent experience to a more challenging incident years earlier. Another review reflected the relief that comes with reliable help in a crisis. “At a time when you are feeling frustrated and vulnerable, Paul Davis steps in to help. They are fast and professional. Their clean-up is excellent,” shared Eileen Haas. Stories like these reflect the company’s people-first approach and the accountability that comes with a two-year workmanship warranty.
Scale and Consistency for Commercial Partners
For schools, healthcare facilities, property managers, and large enterprises, downtime can result in lost revenue and service interruptions. Paul Davis Restoration of Portland/Vancouver provides dedicated teams for larger clients, ensuring that the same project managers, customer service specialists, and estimators stay involved from mitigation through reconstruction. When a multi-floor loss occurs, the company can deploy more than 20 trained professionals to quickly triage, dry, and stabilize the property. This scale, combined with consistent leadership on each job, helps complex facilities get back up and running sooner with fewer changes needed.
People, Principles, and Professionalism
The organization’s three Uniques highlight its culture. The team is made up of tenured professionals, with many serving for five or more years. Their principles focus on doing the right thing for customers and the community. Their professionalism is evident in spotless job sites, careful handling of contents, and clear expectations from the initial walkthrough to the final punch list. The company’s fifth core value, “Have Fun on Purpose,” shines through in the daily interactions of their crews, who deliver serious work with an approachable, respectful attitude. The company also supports community partners, including the Red Cross, Rebuilding Together, A Caring Closet, Coats for Kids, and the Vancouver Food Bank.
A Commitment Backed by Warranty
Homeowners and facility leaders seek more than just fast drying and a good paint match—they want assurance that the workmanship will hold up. Paul Davis Restoration of Portland/Vancouver offers a two-year warranty and stands by it, with leadership committed to addressing any issues that arise, even beyond that window when appropriate. This long-term mindset is why so many customers return after an initial project, and why referrals continue to drive the company’s growth in its 19th year serving the region.
