Get roofing bids in Portland & beyond

Getting a roof quote usually means a stranger on your roof and a sales pitch in your kitchen. Here you start by describing the roof: its age, any leaks, photos from the ground, a budget range. License-verified roofers read it and send bids. Nobody gets your number until you pick one.

Wondering about price first? What a roof replacement costs in Portland.

  6. 06Whether skylights, chimneys, or solar panels are involved

Roofing questions, answered

How many roofing bids will I get?

Up to five, and you can raise that on your project page. Roofers whose license we have verified against the Oregon CCB or Washington L&I registry see the full project and bid only if they want the work. Bidding stops at your limit.

Do roofers call me?

No. Your name and number stay hidden until you pick a bid. Roofers bid on the project you wrote, with prices and timelines side by side. The one you pick gets your contact info; the rest never do.

Tear-off or overlay: do I need to know before posting?

No. Say what you know (roof age, layers if you know them, any leaks) and let the bids speak to it. A good bid will state its assumption either way, and you can compare like against like.

What does a new roof cost?

It depends on size, pitch, material, and how many layers come off, which is exactly why bids beat estimates from a chart. Post the project with a budget range you are comfortable with, and real numbers from real roofers replace the guesswork.
