There are about as many Portland Roofing companies
in the Portland 
Metro area as there are doctors or dentist. How can
you decide which 
Portland roofing company is truly a professional
roofing contractor?

First. Step-up an appointment to meet the
salesperson or the owner 
themselves.

There are about as many Portland Roofing companies
in the Portland 
Metro area as there are doctors or dentist. How can
you decide which 
Portland roofing company is truly a professional
roofing contractor?

First. Step-up an appointment to meet the
salesperson or the owner 
themselves.

Second. During your roofing appointment, discuss the
current condition 
of your roof, any issues such as dry rot, and how
the new roofing is to 
be installed. Ask for several different options on
the quality of the materials. 
Take notes and ask lots of questions. 

Third. Once you receive the written quote, make sure
each item you discussed 
with the roofing salesperson earlier is clearly
written out. If you are not satisfied 
with the detail or have questions, call the roofing
company and get your questions answered and an updated roofing proposal sent to
you.

Forth. Check the roofing contractor out with the
BBB, CCB, and Angie’s List. 
Don’t be shy, if the company has complaints, move
on. If the roofing company 
is brand new, move on. If the roofing contractor was
unresponsive, move on.

Fifth. When you have a Portland roofer that you
trust, only then sign a roofing 
contract. The down payment should be small, less
than 10%. When the roofing install
 is complete, have the salesperson or Foreman
walk you through each facet of your new 
roof installation. Make sure all those notes you took earlier are
checked off as completed. Only then is the Final roof payment made.
