Is Your Contractor Licensed? Why It Matters for Your Roofing Project

  • March 4, 2025

The Importance of Contractor Licensing in Roofing

When hiring a contractor for your roofing needs, one of the most important questions to ask is: Are they licensed? At Hawthorne General Construction, we are fully licensed to operate in Portland and the state of Oregon, ensuring that our customers receive high-quality, professional service that meets industry standards.

Why Hiring a Licensed Contractor Matters

  1. Legal Compliance – In Oregon, contractors must be licensed to perform roofing work. Hiring an unlicensed contractor can lead to legal issues and potential fines.
  2. Quality Assurance – A licensed contractor has met strict requirements, including training, experience, and knowledge of building codes and safety regulations.
  3. Insurance Protection – Licensed contractors carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation, protecting homeowners from financial responsibility in case of accidents or property damage.
  4. Warranty & Accountability – Licensed professionals stand behind their work and offer warranties, ensuring that any issues are properly addressed.
  5. Peace of Mind – When you hire a licensed contractor like Hawthorne General Construction, you can trust that the work is done correctly, safely, and up to code.

How to Verify a Contractor’s License

Oregon homeowners can check a contractor’s license through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) website. We encourage our customers to verify our license and credentials to ensure they are hiring a reputable professional.
