DeaMor Associates, Inc.

What DeaMor Associates, Inc. does

DeaMor Associates, Inc. is a specialty commercial daylighting contractor founded in 1984 and headquartered in Ridgefield, Washington, with a second office in Tukwila, Washington. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs engineered daylighting systems — including glass skylights, glass canopies (Narrowline, Tubular, Point-Supported, and Hanging systems), transit canopies, structural glazing, SkyVent monitors, sunshades, and translucent panel systems — for architects, building owners, and general contractors across the Pacific Northwest. DeaMor serves as the authorized Pacific Northwest distributor and installer for Kalwall translucent sandwich panels and Structures Unlimited aluminum superstructures, giving it access to proprietary products with NFRC-certified thermal performance and DOD ATFP blast design capability.

Underlying technologies include engineered structural silicone glazing with flush exterior surfaces and 20-year silicone warranties, a proprietary rain screen design with cascading gutter and baffled weep systems, thermally-broken frames, and dynamic glazing integration supporting electrochromic, BIPV, and LED-embedded glass. The company offers in-house daylight modeling using Kalwall panel photometrics to validate light levels and eliminate hot spots before installation, along with NFRC, ASTM 331/283, and AAMA 501 third-party testing certification. DeaMor operates licensed union installation crews in Oregon and Washington and holds a roster of certifications including LEED Accredited Professional, OSHA 30, AWS welding, and Design Build Institute of America credentials on staff.

DeaMor's business model is project-based design-build delivery with custom quote-based pricing, multi-year contracts, and no standard published tiers. Revenue is generated through integrated product supply and professional services (design assistance, engineering, fabrication, installation). Go-to-market is sales-led via regional field sales contacts (Millie White for Oregon/SW Washington; Jody Moore for NW Region/National), supplemented by AIA-registered continuing education courses, an extensive case study portfolio, and direct project outreach. Documented customers include Microsoft, Oregon Health & Science University, MultiCare, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the U.S. General Services Administration, TriMet, Portland State University, and the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, with project scales ranging from single hospital canopies to a 650,000-square-foot life sciences facility.
