Residential Restoration Contractors in Oregon

The Residential Restoration Contractor (RRC) license is issued by the Oregon CCB to contractors specializing in restoring residential properties after damage from water, fire, mold, smoke, or other events. There are currently 15 active RRC licenses in Oregon.

Restoration work is a high-stakes specialty: contractors are typically engaged at the most stressful moment for a homeowner - after a flood, fire, or major water intrusion event - often working directly with insurance adjusters and on insurance-funded projects. Oregon requires restoration contractors to hold a separate RRC license to ensure they meet the CCB's standards for bonding, insurance, and business practices specific to the restoration context.

RRC-licensed contractors perform work including water damage remediation, structural drying, mold remediation, smoke and soot cleanup, fire damage repair, and contents restoration. Many restoration projects require coordination with licensed electricians, plumbers, and general contractors for the rebuild phase - confirm that the restoration contractor holds the appropriate additional licenses if they are managing the full rebuild, not just the mitigation phase.

After a disaster event, Oregon homeowners are particularly vulnerable to disaster contractor scams - unlicensed crews who appear immediately after storms or wildfires offering emergency repairs. Always verify the RRC license before signing any restoration contract, and never sign before your insurance adjuster has assessed the damage.
