Our Founders

Jared W. Moreda

Co-Founder

Jared graduated from Arizona State with a business degree and a minor in Stress Management. After completing school, the effects of Covid-19 brought Jared back from sunny AZ to central Oregon. After taking a job working for a high-end fabricator, Jared quickly moved up in the company, taking titles and management responsibilities in the restoration niche. Several million dollars in home restorations later, Jared recognized a better way to approach the restoration process and set out to bring that process to the people of Oregon, partnering with his friend and colleague Sheridan Maxey.

Sheridan T. Maxey

Co-Founder

Sheridan graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Soon after, he graduated from the University of Richmond School of Law with a focus on individual, business, and estate taxation. During law school Sheridan researched and studied property law, real estate transfers and finances, labor and employment law, business structures, negotiations and conflict resolution, accounting, and tax planning and implementation. After finding that planning, critical thinking, and analytic problem solving from past experiences translates well into the field of restoration, he joined Jared on the journey towards customer satisfaction and expectations in the restoration project management field.
