What Ravenwood Group does

Ravenwood Group is a privately held, family-owned residential design-build remodeling firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded in 1994 by Chris Boyer and now co-owned with his son Willis Boyer. The company delivers a comprehensive suite of nine home renovation services for Portland-area homeowners, including whole house remodels, interior and exterior renovations, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), kitchen, bathroom, basement, and attic conversions, plus custom metalwork and design services. Its technical positioning emphasizes environmentally conscious construction, with EPA Lead-Safe certification, Earth Advantage Home Certified membership, and admission into the City of Portland's Field Issuance Remodel (FIR) Program — the latter enabling simplified permits and a single assigned inspector from initial contact through final inspection.

The firm's core technology is its craftsmanship and green-building methodology rather than proprietary software or digital products. Differentiated practices include 100% lead-free environments (paint, dust, soil) under EPA protocols, Earth Advantage-certified material and design selection (improving indoor air quality and reducing water/resource use), and FIR Program eligibility that materially shortens project start timelines for clients. Custom metalwork and design are provided in-house by Chris Boyer, leveraging his Fine Art training from PNCA.

Ravenwood operates on a project-based professional services model with custom, quote-based pricing per project. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and sales-led: homeowners initiate contact via phone or website for a free consultation, and projects are quoted and managed directly. There are no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. The addressable market is concentrated in the Portland Metropolitan Area, which is both the headquarters geography and the sole listed operating geography. With 1–10 reported employees, the company functions as a small, highly localized, reputation-driven contractor.
