Nearly a decade in commercial kitchens. Over twenty years running a business. We understand what it costs when operations stop.

I spent nearly a decade working in commercial kitchens before making the move to fire suppression. Combined with over twenty years of running my own businesses, that experience shapes everything about how Timberline operates.
I've worked Friday night services. I know what it looks like when something goes wrong mid-shift, and I know exactly what an unplanned hour of downtime costs an operator. That perspective doesn't come from a fire protection textbook.
"I built the inspection company I'd want to call if I were still running a kitchen."
When I made the move into fire suppression, I wasn't just learning a trade. I was building the kind of service I always wished existed on the other side of the hood.
Timberline inspections are designed to minimize disruption. We show up on time, work efficiently, and get out of your way. You get a clear, readable report the same day.
We also believe the best client relationships are built on consistency. When you call Timberline, you get the same technician every visit. Someone who knows your system, knows your kitchen, and can spot changes before they become problems.
That's not just good service. That's how you protect an investment.
Most inspections completed in under an hour. We work around your prep schedule.
Signed reports delivered same day. Written to be understood, not just filed.
Same technician every visit. We learn your system and your kitchen over time.
Every inspection follows NFPA 96. Your report holds up with insurers and fire marshals.
Timberline is based in Beaverton and serves the full Portland metro including Washington, Multnomah, and Clackamas counties. Restaurants, ghost kitchens, food trucks, and commercial kitchens of all sizes.
Portland's food truck community is a particular focus. With over 500 food trucks operating in the metro, it's one of the most underserved markets for suppression inspection in the region.
