Restoration Services in Durham, NC
Water, fire, mold, and storm damage restoration for Durham homes — 24/7 dispatch from our office at the Wake–Durham line, typically 15 to 30 minutes out.
OCI Restoration provides 24/7 water, fire, mold, and storm damage restoration throughout Durham, North Carolina. Our office sits at Brier Creek in northwest Raleigh — right at the Wake–Durham county line — which puts our crews 15–30 minutes from most Durham addresses via US-70, I-885, or NC-147. OCI is veteran-owned, IICRC certified, and licensed as a North Carolina general contractor (L.67743), so the company that handles the emergency also rebuilds the home — a distinction that matters in a city where much of the housing predates World War II. Call (919) 796-1197 and a live dispatcher will confirm your window.
Restoration services we bring to Durham
Every line below is answered 24/7 by live dispatch:
- Water damage restoration — emergency extraction and verified drying, with real fluency in the layered, generations-old plumbing of Durham's pre-war housing stock.
- Fire damage restoration — board-up, smoke and soot cleanup, contents, and licensed reconstruction — including the balloon-framed mill houses where fire behaves differently.
- Mold remediation — source-first, sealed-containment removal to IICRC standards, tuned to pier-foundation crawl spaces and renovation-concealed moisture.
- Storm damage restoration — emergency tarping and board-up, response to limb strikes from Durham's century-old canopy, and drying after creek-corridor flash flooding.
Why Durham homeowners call OCI
OCI is veteran-owned by Andy Onofrio, backed by Onofrio Construction, IICRC certified, and licensed as NC general contractor L.67743. In Durham that license earns its keep on nearly every job: the city's older homes almost always need real reconstruction after a loss — plaster, trim, framing — and one company carrying the job from mitigation through rebuild means nobody hands you a dried-out shell and a list of contractors to call. We're members of the IICRC, RIA, NCHBA, and the HBA of Raleigh–Wake County, with a 4.9-star Google rating across the Triangle.

Durham restoration FAQs
Does OCI Restoration have an office in Durham?
Our office sits in northwest Raleigh at Brier Creek — effectively on the Wake–Durham county line. That makes Durham one of our fastest service-area cities: typically 15–30 minutes to most of the city via US-70, I-885, or NC-147, and often quicker to south and east Durham than to parts of Raleigh.
Which restoration services do you offer in Durham?
Water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, and storm damage restoration — with reconstruction under our NC general contractor license (L.67743), so cleanup and rebuild happen under one company.
Do you work on Durham's older and historic homes?
Constantly — it's a defining part of working in Durham. Pre-war mill houses and Trinity Park-era homes fail differently than new construction, from layered plumbing systems to balloon framing, and our crews scope them with that history in mind.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes — we document losses to adjuster standards and bill covered work directly to your carrier on most Durham jobs, so you're typically responsible only for your deductible.
Do you handle rental properties and student housing?
Yes. Durham's rental stock is a regular part of our work — we coordinate with owners, property managers, and tenants, and document unit-by-unit for multi-party claims.

About Durham, North Carolina
Durham grew up around tobacco and textiles, and that history is still standing: mill-village houses in Old West and East Durham, grand pre-war neighborhoods like Trinity Park and Watts-Hillandale, converted warehouses downtown, and a fast-growing ring of newer construction toward Southpoint and RTP. That century of building layers is exactly why property damage behaves differently here than anywhere else in the Triangle.
