It was 1992 when Terry Moorhouse and Trevor Forder founded Okanagan Restoration Services Ltd. The motivation? The realization there was a distinct need in the Okanagan marketplace for superior restoration services, and the winning of a “Gold Rush” scratch-and-win ticket. The winnings jump-started the company, which in its infancy had but three employees and a single restoration van.
Today, Okanagan Restoration Services is the leading locally-owned and operated restoration company in the Valley, providing guaranteed service using leading-edge technologies and equipment – all executed and delivered by trained, professional (and friendly!) restoration experts.
Okanagan Restoration Services now employs 130-plus restoration professionals and has a fleet of over 70 service vehicles.

"Your firm has done an outstanding job. All trades who were involved at our home came through with flying colors, including the last team, the clean-up crew. Everything looks as before or even better. We were impressed with how quickly your company reacted after we called for help. You find this dedication not very often in dealing with service companies." Gerd W. Staedel |
