CCB Check

Oregon Roofing Contractor Check: what it covers

Quick answer

The Oregon Construction Contractors Board licenses residential and commercial contractors. A roofer's licence number is checked on the Board's own site, the roofing class is confirmed there, and the result is written into the file before a deposit is paid.

Oregon Roofing Contractor Check illustration for Hillsboro, OR

Oregon licenses contractors through the Construction Contractors Board, and the FACTS sheet records that it licenses both residential and commercial contractors. The roofing-specific class should be verified on the Board's site before any quote is treated as valid.

Sources disagree on the categories the Board uses, and on the bond and insurance minimums. This site therefore states neither. The check is made on the Board's record, and the homeowner keeps the dated result.

The line connects you with a local roofer. The roofer must hold the licence the work requires, and the homeowner is responsible for checking it.

Warning signs

Signs you need oregon roofing contractor check

Do not sign a roof contract before the licence, the class and the insurance proof are in writing. A roof job with no check is the case where a problem is hardest to put right later.

  • A roofer who cannot give a CCB licence number when asked
  • A quote that names no class or licence for the roof work
  • A roofer who says no licence is needed without naming the rule
  • A licence held for a trade other than the roof work
  • A roofer who asks for full payment before the licence is checked
  • A contractor name on the quote that differs from the name on the record
Our process

How our oregon roofing contractor check visit works

  1. Ask for the number in writing

    Ask for the CCB licence number and the name on it, and ask the roofer to write both on the quote before any deposit is paid.

  2. Check the record on the Board's site

    Check the number on the Oregon Construction Contractors Board's site, note the date and the result, and confirm the status.

  3. Confirm the roofing class

    Confirm that the class on the record covers the roof work in the scope. The FACTS sheet says to verify the class on the Board's site, and this page does not state it.

  4. Ask about the bond and insurance in writing

    Ask for proof of insurance and any bond the Board requires for the roofer's class, in writing, and check the figures on the Board's record rather than taking the roofer's word.

  5. Keep the record with the contract

    File the number, the name, the class, the date of the check and the insurance proof together with the contract and the scope.

What does the Board license?

Residential and commercial contractors, according to the FACTS sheet. The roofing-specific class is confirmed on the Board's site.

The FACTS sheet records that the Oregon Construction Contractors Board licenses residential and commercial contractors. The roofing-specific class should be verified on the Board's site before a quote is treated as valid. That is the reference the homeowner checks.

A roofer may hold a licence of the right kind, or may not. The question is whether the record covers the roof work in this scope.

  • The Board licenses residential and commercial work
  • The roofing class is verified on the Board's site
  • The question is whether the record covers the scope

Why does this site not state the classes or the bond figures?

Because the sources disagree on the categories and on the minimums, and an unverified figure on a licence page would mislead the reader.

The FACTS sheet records conflicting categories and conflicting bond and insurance minimums. A figure that is wrong on a licence page is worse than no figure, so this page leaves both out and points the reader to the Board's own record.

Where a roofer quotes a class or a minimum, ask for the source, and check it on the Board's site.

  • Sources conflict on categories and minimums
  • No figure is stated where the sources disagree
  • Check any figure the roofer gives on the Board's site

What if the roofer will not give a number?

Do not sign or pay a deposit. A roofer who cannot be checked cannot be relied on, whatever the quote says.

A roofer who will not give a CCB number, or who says none is needed without a reason, is one the homeowner cannot check. Hold off on signing and paying until the number can be verified.

The Board is the place to take a licensing concern, and the homeowner keeps the quote and the record of the number given.

  • Do not sign until the number is verified
  • Keep the quote and the record of the number
  • Raise licensing concerns with the Board

What to do when the record and the quote disagree

Stop, ask the roofer to explain the difference in writing, and check the record again on the day of signing.

A name on the record that does not match the name on the quote is not always a fault. A company may have changed its name, or a licence may cover a related trade. It is, however, a question that must be answered before a deposit is paid.

Ask the roofer to explain the difference in writing, with the basis for it, and check the record again on the day you sign. If the explanation does not satisfy you, do not sign, and raise the concern with the Board.

  • Name the difference in writing
  • Check the record again on the day of signing
  • Raise an unresolved concern with the Board

Why the licence check comes before the scope

Because a scope written for a contractor who cannot be checked is a scope with no reliable author. The licence sets who may sign the scope and do the work.

A roofer who writes a scope is taking responsibility for it, and that responsibility depends on the licence held. Checking the number before the scope is discussed in detail means the homeowner is talking to a party whose record can be read.

Once the licence is confirmed, the scope can be negotiated on its merits. Before that, the figures are only as good as the person who wrote them.

  • The licence identifies who signs the scope
  • Check the record before detailed talks
  • Discuss the scope once the record is confirmed

What a dated check is worth later

It is the record a buyer, a lender or an insurer may ask to see, and it shows the roofer was checked on a stated day.

A dated check on the Board's record is short to make and costly to lack. A later question about who did the work, or whether the roofer was licensed on the day, is answered at once when the check is on file. Without it, the answer rests on memory.

Keep the check with the contract and the scope, and add a second dated check if the job runs for several weeks.

  • A dated check answers later questions
  • Keep it with the contract and scope
  • Repeat the check on long jobs

Washington County

Why oregon roofing contractor check is different in Portland metro

Hillsboro sits in Washington County, and the CCB record applies to the roofer, not to the address.

A roofer who works in the Portland-side towns and the Yamhill County towns checks the same Board record for each job.

The Board is the reference for the roofing class, and the local office is separate from it.
