Deciding on a roofing contractor is one of the most crucial decisions you'll make when it comes to a new roof. In Oregon, the rainy winters and hot summers can wreak havoc on the top of your home or building. That's why having a reputable contractor who knows the area well is your best bet for quality roofing that can last for years to come and withstand the elements. The selection you make will impact your timeline, budget, and the quality of your investment.

This guide is here to walk you through the questions you (homeowner, builder, business owner, or developer) should be asking when searching for a roofing contractor. We'll also explain how Renaissance Roofing measures up to the job.

Q1: Are they licensed and insured?

A: Any roofing contractor you hire should be fully licensed and carry adequate insurance. This protects you from liability and ensures they're operating legally.

Renaissance Roofing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Oregon. With our reputation and a track record of compliance, we give homeowners and builders peace of mind on every job site.

Q2: Do they offer manufacturer-backed warranties?

A: The best contractors partner with top manufacturers to offer strong warranties that cover both materials and installation.

As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, we offer some of the strongest warranties in the industry, including non-prorated 50-year coverage on qualifying roof systems.

Q3: Do they specialize in new construction, or only replacements?

A: Some roofers focus primarily on re-roofing, but new construction projects require a different set of skills, such as collaborating with builders and installing roofing systems from the ground up.

Renaissance Roofing has decades of experience with new construction roofing for both residential and commercial properties. We ensure our crews are skilled in building high-quality roofs from scratch, with a focus on structural integrity and long-term performance.

Q4: Will they work with your general contractor to coordinate the build?

A: On new builds, it's critical that your roofer is willing and able to collaborate with your GC and other subcontractors. This ensures a smooth schedule and proper integration with framing, insulation, and ventilation systems.

Renaissance Roofing prioritizes communication and coordination on every project. We regularly work with general contractors and construction teams to deliver seamless, on-time roofing installations that seamlessly integrate into the larger build.

Q5: Can they show examples of completed new construction roofs?

A: Any reputable contractor should be able to provide references, photos, or case studies of past work.
