How can I tell if my roofer is licensed in Oregon?
Ask the roofer for their Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) license number, then verify it at the board's public lookup. The license must be Active, the class must include Residential / Commercial Contractor — Roofing endorsement, and there must be no open disciplinary actions. Groundcheck (earthmove.io/trust) does this in under 90 seconds and cross-checks court, OSHA, and BBB records simultaneously.
Confirming a roofer's license in Oregon is a 3-step process. First, get the license number from the contractor — every legitimate roofer working in Oregon should have one and should give it on request. If they refuse or hedge, walk away. Second, plug it into the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) public lookup at https://www.oregon.gov/ccb/. Third, verify three fields on the lookup result: license status (must read "Active"), expiration date (must be in the future), and disciplinary history (must be clean).
What classification matters: Residential / Commercial Contractor — Roofing endorsement. Oregon roofers working under any other classification are not authorized for the installs and repairs residential and commercial roofing systems including shingles, metal, tile, and flat-roof membranes you're hiring them for. Confirm the license covers the type of work being performed.
Red flags that the license isn't legitimate or the roofer is misrepresenting: the license number doesn't return a result, the lookup returns a different name or business than you were given, the status is "Suspended" or "Inactive," the license is in another contractor's name (the roofer is using someone else's license — illegal in every state), or the disciplinary history shows multiple open complaints.
What if the roofer won't share their license number? In Oregon, every licensed roofer is required to display the license number on all advertising, business cards, contracts, and vehicles. If they can't or won't provide it, they're either unlicensed or hiding something.
