Roofing in Portland at a glance
Call us and we will inspect your roof for free, document it with photos and drone footage, and email you a written report and estimate. Most Portland re-roofs take one to three days. The one thing that moves a Portland quote more than anything else is what is under the old shingles: houses built before about 1940 were sheathed with spaced boards rather than plywood, so a tear-off can expose gaps a modern shingle system cannot be nailed over. We look before we quote and we state the per-sheet decking rate in writing, so that is a known number rather than a surprise in week two. Portland does not require a building permit for a like-weight reroof, which catches out people who moved from Clark County.

Roofing in Portland, OR
Roofing Portland, OR: what we find, and what it costs you.
Most people call us for one of three reasons: something is leaking, a storm took shingles off, or the roof is old enough that they want to know how long they have. All three start the same way - we come out, get on the roof, photograph what we find, and tell you which of those you actually have. Sometimes the answer is that you have five years left and should call us then. We would rather say that than sell you a roof you do not need yet.
If you do need one, the number is decided by what is under the old shingles, and in Portland that is worth explaining before you gather quotes. Houses built before about 1940 - which is a quarter of the city, and far more than that on the inner east side - were sheathed with spaced boards rather than plywood. A modern shingle system needs continuous support, so once the old roof is off we sometimes find gaps that need re-decking or an overlay. Nobody can see that from the driveway, which is why a quote that does not mention it is a quote that can change on you. We state the per-sheet rate in writing before the tear-off starts, so if we find it, you already know what it costs.
The permit position is the thing most Portland homeowners are surprised by, because it runs opposite to Washington. Portland Permitting & Development does not require a building permit to reroof with a material of similar weight, and that includes replacing some or all of the existing roof sheathing. Permits are required in Wildfire Zones, on townhouses, and for solar or building-integrated photovoltaic roof coverings. Siding replacement likewise needs no permit unless the assembly is required to be fire resistive, and window replacement needs none as long as the opening is not made larger or smaller.
That is genuinely useful to know and it is also the sort of thing a contractor can quietly misrepresent to justify a line item. It is published, it is checkable, and we would rather you checked it.
We are based in Vancouver, WA and work Portland across the river daily. Quality Master holds Oregon CCB 243945 in addition to our Washington registration, and both numbers are public record.

"They even relocated all the vents to the backside of the house to give it a cleaner look from the street. They finished the job by installing new gutters that look incredible."
"His quote was straight forward (no confusing options or upsells) and his team delivered what was expected, on schedule. The work site was spotless every day, and after final cleanup it was difficult to tell they had even been there."
Before you hire anyone
The four things Portland homeowners actually worry about.
Will the estimate hold, or will it change once the roof is open?
We state the per-sheet decking rate in writing before the tear-off starts, so rot found under the old roof is a known number rather than a renegotiation. On Portland homes we tell you what we expect to find and why.
Are you actually licensed here?
Washington QUALIML786JF and Oregon CCB 243945, both bonded and insured. Look either up yourself before you sign anything - the numbers are public record, and any contractor who will not give you theirs is telling you something.
Will the manufacturer warranty actually be honored?
Manufacturer system warranties cover materials and workmanship only when a certified installer registers the job. We are CertainTeed ShingleMaster and Malarkey Emerald Pro, and we register every roof. An uncertified crew can only pass on the shingle warranty.
How long will my house be torn open?
One to three days for most single-family re-roofs. We schedule around forecasted dry days, tarp aggressively if weather turns mid-job, protect the landscaping, and run a magnetic sweep for nails before we leave.

Portland FAQ
Roofing contractor Portland, OR questions, answered.
Do I need a permit to reroof my house in Portland?
For a straightforward reroof in a similar-weight material, no. Portland Permitting & Development does not require a building permit for that, and it explicitly includes replacing some or all of the existing roof sheathing. You do need one if your home is in a Wildfire Zone, if it is a townhouse, or if you are installing solar or building-integrated photovoltaic roof coverings. This is published on portland.gov and worth checking yourself.
Why is that different from Vancouver and Clark County?
Different state, different jurisdiction, different adopted rules. Every Clark County city we work in requires a permit for most residential re-roofs. Portland does not for like-weight work. Homeowners who have moved across the river are frequently surprised by it in one direction or the other, so it is worth confirming for your specific address rather than assuming.
What is different about roofing a pre-1940 Portland house?
The deck underneath. Homes of that era were sheathed with spaced boards rather than plywood, and framed with cut rafters rather than trusses. Modern shingle systems need continuous support, so a tear-off often exposes gaps that need re-decking or an overlay of new sheathing. It is the single biggest variable in a Portland estimate and it cannot be assessed from the street.
Are you actually licensed in Oregon?
Yes. Oregon CCB 243945, alongside Washington registration QUALIML786JF. Both are public record and you can look them up yourself through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and Washington L&I. Ask any contractor working across the state line for both numbers.
You are based in Vancouver. Is that a problem for a Portland job?
It is about fifteen minutes across the river, and we work Portland regularly. Several established Portland roofers advertise the reverse - Portland metro plus SW Washington - because this is one housing market with a river through it. What matters is that the contractor is licensed in the state your house is in, and we are.
Do you handle the older cedar shake roofs still on some Portland homes?
Yes, and it is common work on the inner east side. Cedar tear-off produces heavier debris and a higher dump cost than composition, and what is under it is usually skip-sheathing, so the re-deck question almost always comes up on those jobs. We factor both into the written estimate rather than treating them as extras.
