Read more →How do I file a water damage insurance claim in Clark County?
Stop the source, document everything before cleanup, start drying to prevent further damage, call your insurer, and bring in a licensed restoration contractor who provides cause-and-origin documentation, moisture logs, and a detailed repair scope.
Read more →Can I see past projects?
Yes. The gallery shows real before/after work from Vancouver, WA including kitchen cabinet refinishing, flooring repair, siding, and plumbing leak remediation.
Read more →How does RestorationRepublic run a project?
A five-stage 'Done Right' workflow: Consultation, Scope of Work, Mobilization, Execution, and Delivery. Active clients also get a private portal link with a live weekly progress chart of planned versus actual work.
Read more →Is RestorationRepublic licensed and insured?
Yes — PCHG, LLC operates as a Washington State business (UBI 605 906 025) with general liability coverage. License, bond, and insurance details are verified and shared during the estimate and contracting process per RCW 18.27.
Read more →Emergency & Urgent Repairs
View the full emergency & urgent repairs guide →Do you handle emergency home repairs in Vancouver, WA?
Yes. Burst pipes, active roof leaks, storm damage, failed water heaters, and sudden structural issues get triaged first: we stop the source, stabilize the area, and start drying or tarping before scoping the permanent repair.
Read more →What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve, cut power to affected areas at the breaker if water is near outlets, photograph everything before moving anything, then call a licensed contractor. Drying should start within 24–48 hours to prevent mold.
Read more →How fast can you respond to a water or roof emergency?
Emergency calls in Clark County are triaged the same business day, with mitigation crews typically on site within 24 hours depending on severity and access.
Read more →Do you handle mold after water damage?
We address the moisture source and remove wet, contaminated materials as part of the restoration scope, and coordinate a certified remediation specialist when testing shows mold beyond a limited surface area.
Read more →Pricing & Contracts
View the full pricing & contracts guide →How much does a home repair cost in Clark County?
Small punch-list and handyman visits usually run a few hundred dollars; targeted repairs like drywall, dry rot, or a fixture replacement typically fall in the $500–$5,000 range. Every price is fixed in writing after a site visit — no open-ended hourly billing.
Read more →Do you charge for estimates?
No. Site visits and written estimates are free within our SW Washington service area. You receive a fixed written scope of work and a firm price before any work is scheduled.
Read more →How does payment and the deposit work?
Projects are milestone-based: a deposit at contract signing, progress payments tied to completed stages in the scope, and a final payment after the walkthrough and punch list are closed out. Washington law limits what a contractor may collect up front relative to work performed.
Read more →What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
Nothing changes without a written change order that states the added work, the added cost, and the schedule impact — signed before the work proceeds. Hidden conditions like rot or failed wiring are documented with photos first.
Read more →Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. Workmanship is warrantied and handed off in writing at project delivery, alongside manufacturer warranties for installed materials and equipment.
Read more →Process, Permits & Timeline
View the full process, permits & timeline guide →Do you pull permits, or do I?
We pull them. Permits with the City of Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, or Clark County are handled as part of the scope, including inspections and final sign-off.
Read more →How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take?
A typical bathroom runs 3–5 weeks on site, a kitchen 6–10 weeks, plus 2–4 weeks up front for design, selections, and permits. Custom cabinetry and special-order tile are the most common causes of delay.
Read more →Can I live in the house during the remodel?
For most single-room projects, yes. We contain dust, protect walkways, and keep at least one working bathroom and kitchen access where possible. Whole-home renovations and structural work usually require temporary relocation.
Read more →How do I track progress on my project?
Active clients get a private portal link with a live weekly progress chart of planned versus actual work, plus proposals, scope documents, and digital acceptance in one place.
Read more →Who is my point of contact during the job?
One licensed project lead owns the job start to finish — scheduling trades, quality control, inspections, and communication. You never have to chase separate subcontractors.
Read more →Insurance & Real Estate
View the full insurance & real estate guide →Do you work with insurance companies on claims?
Yes. We provide cause-and-origin documentation, moisture logs, photo records, and a line-item repair scope formatted for adjusters, and we coordinate directly with your insurer through approval and supplements.
Read more →Can you complete repairs required by a home inspection before closing?
Yes. We handle inspection-driven repair lists for buyers, sellers, and agents on real estate timelines — dry rot, deck and railing corrections, GFCI and electrical items, plumbing leaks, and roof repairs — with documentation for the file.
Read more →Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. Multi-family and rental portfolios are a core market: turnovers, unit refreshes, tenant-damage repairs, and recurring maintenance across multiple properties under one point of contact and consolidated documentation.
Read more →Which remodels add the most value in Vancouver, WA?
In this market, kitchens, bathrooms, exterior siding and roof condition, and adding a legal ADU deliver the strongest returns. Deferred maintenance — rot, leaks, failing decks — costs the most at resale when left alone.
Read more →Company & Credentials
View the full company & credentials guide →Are your subcontractors licensed and background-checked?
Every trade we bring on is verified for active Washington registration, bonding, and insurance before stepping on a job site, and works under our project lead's supervision and safety program.
Read more →What safety standards do you follow on site?
We follow Washington L&I requirements under WAC 296-155, including a written accident prevention program, required PPE by task, documented incident reporting, and a defined chain of command with emergency contacts posted on site.
Read more →Do you work in Portland, Oregon?
No. We work exclusively in Southwest Washington — Clark County and the surrounding communities — so our crews, permits, and inspection relationships stay local.
