Oregon Builders & Restoration
About
Rick Dotson of Oregon Builders & Restoration has been serving the Portland metro area for over 34 years. Our knowledge, experience, and professional staff has enabled us to provide a service and product that is comarable to, and often surpasses the large, high end remodeling companies at a much more affordable price.
I very much enjoy helping people achieve the new bathroom, kitchen, or addition they have dreamed about. Out goal is truly to make their project a dream and not a nightmare. Oregon Builders also provides water & fire damage restoration services. Our custom remodeling approach always produces a finished product that you can rarely get with the patch & paint contractors that are many times referred by the insurance company.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Finding the right remodeling contractor is critical. I can't stress this enough. And when I say the right contractor, I mean someone you can trust, someone that understands your wants and needs. Someone that you can enjoy working with as you will be tied together for a few weeks to a few months. While price is always a strong consideration, It really should be about 4th on the list when it comes to contractor selection.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
If possible, it is helpful to think about a budget, general style and feel of the space you are renovating. There are so many resourses today to help with the design process. We of course, are one of them.
