Why Homeowners in Beaverton Choose Lamont Bros. Design & Construction

Restoring a home after fire or water damage isn't a specialty most remodelers take on, and it isn't a project most restoration companies are equipped to do at a high level. Lamont Bros. Design & Construction has built its reputation on the harder version of that work.

Established Since 2008

We've been designing and building in the Portland metro area for well over 15 years, with a track record across kitchen and bath remodels, whole-home renovations, additions, and large-loss restoration projects for homes throughout Beaverton and the surrounding area.

One Team, Start to Finish

Every project runs through a single design-build team rather than a chain of subcontractors and separate designers. That structure matters even more on a restoration project, where scope changes and insurance approvals need to move quickly without losing coordination.

We Push for What Your Home Actually Had

Insurance scopes are often based on standard, average-cost materials. When your home had upgraded finishes, custom cabinetry, or original hardwood, we document that and negotiate with your adjuster for reimbursement that reflects it, instead of letting the claim default to a builder-grade replacement.

Two Kinds of Restoration Companies, and Why Neither Fits a High-End Home

Most restoration companies are built to move fast and keep costs predictable, which means their crews default to whatever material is quickest to source and easiest to install. That approach is fine for a basic rental property. It falls apart on a well-kept Beaverton ranch home, where original hardwood, tile, or built-in cabinetry is part of what makes the house worth what it's worth.

That leaves homeowners choosing between two options that don't quite fit:

  1. A high-end remodeler who can deliver the right finish quality but generally won't take on work tied to an insurance claim.
  2. A preferred-provider restoration company that's set up to work with insurance carriers but defaults to standardized, builder-grade materials.

Lamont Bros. Design & Construction fills the space between the two. We work directly with your insurance company to secure fair reimbursement for the finishes your home actually had, not a downgraded substitute.

 

What Large-Loss Restoration Looks Like in Beaverton

Beaverton's housing stock spans several distinct eras, from original 1950s and 60s ranch homes in Cedar Hills and Cedar Mill to the larger, more custom construction found in Murrayhill, Cooper Mountain, and Sexton Mountain. A restoration plan that works for one doesn't necessarily work for the other, and getting that distinction right from the start matters.

We take on projects such as:

  • Mid-century ranch homes in neighborhoods like Cedar Hills and Cedar Mill, where original hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, and single-level layouts need to be matched rather than swapped for something newer
  • Larger custom homes in Murrayhill, Cooper Mountain, and Sexton Mountain, where higher-end finishes and more complex floor plans raise the bar for reconstruction
  • Homes with structural damage that goes beyond a straightforward patch-and-repaint job
  • Losses affecting multiple rooms or an entire home, which call for a rebuild plan that keeps several trades moving on the same timeline

We handle large-loss insurance restoration throughout Beaverton, including Cedar Hills, Cedar Mill, Vista Hills, Murrayhill, Cooper Mountain, and Sexton Mountain.

Our focus stays on higher-value homes, where the reconstruction has to hold up to real craftsmanship standards while the insurance side gets managed correctly.

 

How a Design-Build Team Changes the Restoration Process

When design and construction happen under one roof, a homeowner isn't stuck relaying information between a designer, a contractor, and an insurance adjuster who aren't talking to each other. We manage all three internally, which keeps the project moving and keeps the details consistent from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.

 

Fire Damage Restoration

Bringing a fire-damaged home back requires structural know-how, careful documentation for the claim, and construction quality that holds up against what the home looked like before the fire started.

Water Damage Restoration

Water spreads further than it appears, and matching original hardwood or cabinetry in an older Beaverton home takes coordinated work across several trades.

When the House Adds Complexity, Not Just the Damage 

A restoration project can get complicated simply because the damage is extensive. It can also get complicated because of what the home is, particularly across Beaverton's mix of original mid-century construction and the larger custom homes built in the decades since. Either way, a home that was built well the first time deserves the same level of care the second time around.

An In-House Design Team

Our designers stay involved for the full rebuild, keeping proportions, finishes, and layout consistent with the rest of the home rather than handing that responsibility off once construction starts.

Handling Damage That Goes Beyond the Surface

A well-maintained home can still turn into a complicated rebuild once the damage reaches the structure. When large sections of a house need to be rebuilt at once, keeping the trades, the paperwork, and the material sourcing aligned is what determines whether the final result actually matches the original.

Built to Match, Not Just Replace

Reproducing original hardwood, cabinetry, and trim details is part of what separates our team from a standard restoration contractor, especially in Beaverton's older ranch-style neighborhoods where that detail is often what defines the home.

No Surprises on Scope or Cost

We put the scope and cost in writing before construction starts, which protects homeowners from surprise expenses later and supports a fair reimbursement conversation with the insurance carrier.
