Start with your roof
This page does not rank neighborhoods by verified replacement counts. Ask a contractor to document the current roof condition and explain whether repair or replacement fits the findings.
Shared buildings need coordination
For a Pearl District condominium or shared building, establish who authorizes work and which records the manager holds. Ask how contractors will access the roof, stage materials, and protect occupied areas.
Additions need separate scope
For a property in the Alberta Arts District or Sellwood-Moreland, identify any additions, porches, and garages in the bid. Ask how the proposed assembly handles different slopes and adjoining roof sections.
Address access and property requirements
If a West Hills site has limited access, ask for a delivery and debris plan. For any property, confirm the permit and review requirements for the address and proposed work before setting a start date.
