It’s a great debate among Portland’s Roofing Companies and Contractors – “Who really is the Best Roofer in town?”  Well, as alway, one person’s parameters may be entirely different than someone elses. However, there are many requirements that all of us would agree upon to wittle that list down to a few who should qualify as “Best Roofing Company”.

It’s a great debate among Portland’s Roofing Companies and Contractors – “Who really is the Best Roofer in town?”  Well, as alway, one person’s parameters may be entirely different than someone elses. However, there are many requirements that all of us would agree upon to wittle that list down to a few who should qualify as “Best Roofing Company”.

Lets start with this example that a new customer of ours very recently passed onto us. Their neighbor next door recently purchased a roof from a well known Roofing Company who has been in business for years, but not without racking up poor reviews on Google. As the new roof was being installed by a single roofer over a two week period, a windy night blew the tarps off the roof along with all the insulation in the attic. Our customers yard is still covered in insulation debris. Roofing accidents happen, but the worst part is that the finished product looks very poor and will not go long without additional attention.

So how would we determine if this company should be removed from our list of Best Roofers? Easy and it could and should have been done will before any contract was ever signed:

1) Check you Roofing Contractor’s reviews online with Google and Angies List along with the Better Business Bureau.

2) Get a firm descripton of how your job is to be installed – Foreman / Crews / Days / House and Yard Protection.

3) Make sure your Roofing Contractor has spent time with you going over all your questions. (This site provides for free a list of 22 Roofing Questions to ask your potential Roofing Contractor.)

Ok – so who is the Best Roofing Contractor in the Portland Metro Area? Well it sure isn’t the one who roofed the house next door.

More to come on choosing the Best Roofing Company.
