By national ratios Portland supports about 10 full-time foundation specialist pros — a small market where one or two well-reviewed businesses cover most of the demand. That is smaller than most United States cities we cover. Ownership is split — 47 % owner-occupied — so a typical week mixes homeowners with landlords and property managers who buy in volume. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
