Clear questions before contracts.
How do I choose an Oregon contractor for residential roofing?+
Confirm the contractor’s current Oregon CCB license, insurance, relevant system experience, written scope, permit responsibility, cleanup plan, and warranty terms. Compare equivalent scopes rather than headline totals.
Does residential roofing require a permit?+
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and project scope. Ask the contractor to identify the applicable city or county permit, inspection, and disposal requirements in writing before work begins.
How many quotes should I request?+
Two or three detailed proposals are usually enough to compare scope, materials, scheduling, warranty coverage, and communication. An unusually low proposal may omit decking, flashing, ventilation, permits, or disposal.
