Is Your Contractor Licensed?
In Oregon, contractors are required by law to be licensed through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) in order to legally perform any type of construction work, including roofing. This requirement ensures that contractors meet specific standards and are compliant with state laws and regulations designed to protect consumers. Each licensed contractor is assigned a unique CCB number, which serves as an official identifier. Cascade’s Roofing CCB number is 104430.
Verifying a Contractor’s License
Before hiring a contractor for your project, it is crucial to verify that they are properly licensed and in good standing with the Oregon CCB. This verification process can be done easily by visiting the Oregon CCB’s official website. The website offers a public search tool where you can enter the contractor’s name or their CCB number to check if their license is current, valid, and free of any regulatory issues.
In addition to verifying the license, the Oregon CCB also provides information about any complaints, disciplinary actions, or enforcement measures taken against the contractor. By reviewing this information, you can assess whether the contractor has a history of compliance issues, unresolved complaints, or other problems that might raise red flags about the quality of their work or business practices.
Protecting Yourself from Legal and Financial Issues
It’s highly recommended to check for these details before moving forward with any construction, renovation, or roofing project. Ensuring the contractor is licensed and has a clean history protects you from potential legal and financial issues, and helps guarantee that you are working with a qualified, professional contractor who adheres to industry standards.
If you cannot find the necessary information online or prefer additional confirmation, you can also contact the Oregon CCB directly by phone or email. Doing your due diligence upfront can save you from future headaches and ensure that the contractor you hire is reliable, qualified, and compliant with state requirements.
