Q&A: Who Really Owns Your Roofing Company — And Why It Matters More Than You Think
Q: Why does it matter who owns a roofing company if they do good work?
A: Because when you hire a roofing company, you’re not just paying for materials and labor — you’re paying for warranty, accountability, and long-term service. In recent years, many roofing companies that look local aren’t actually local anymore.
This includes both large, well-known companies and smaller contractors that were locally owned for decades. Today, many of them have been bought out by out-of-state investment firms, even though they still appear local — same trucks, same branding, same advertising. But behind the scenes, ownership has changed, and so has the motivation.
Q: What’s really going on with these buyouts?
A: We’ve seen it firsthand — and we are contacted almost every day by national investment firms trying to buy our business.
I accidentally answered a persistent caller who ended up being from an investment firm. I told him I was not interested but he launched into his pitch:
“We’ll buy your company, pay you a portion of its value. We change the ownership ( and CCB license number so they are not liable for my past work) and keep you on for a few months. Meanwhile we buy up other construction companies in the area, then bundle your company with those and sell them to a larger investment firm. That’s when you get your real payout. You would get paid millions.” My answer: “No thank you and please remove my number from your call list.”
It’s a rinse-and-repeat business model:
- Buy up local roofing companies — small and large.
- Change the contractor license number to erase legal responsibility for any past work.
- Rebrand under existing local names so customers don’t realize anything has changed.
- Bundle and resell the companies to a larger investment group.
- That firm then changes the license again, cutting off liability a second time.
Q: What does that mean for me as a homeowner?
A: It means you could pay $20,000 or more for a “lifetime roof,” only to discover a few years later that:
- The company that installed it no longer legally exists
- The license number has changed — sometimes more than once
- The warranty you thought you had is now worthless
- The profits from your job went out of state, not back into your local economy
Meanwhile, the trucks still drive around town with the same name, giving the illusion that nothing’s changed — but everything has.
Q: So even well-known local companies aren’t really local anymore?
A: Exactly. Some of the biggest and most trusted roofing names in Oregon were truly local for decades. But now they’re just operating under the same brand, while ownership, management, and profits are based elsewhere.
This shift affects the quality of service, the accountability for warranties, and the money leaving the state instead of supporting Oregon families. The only thing still local in many cases are the employees — and even they often don’t know who owns the company anymore.
Q: How do I avoid hiring one of these companies by mistake?
A: The good news is, you can protect yourself with a quick check:
First, check the company on the Oregon Secretary of State business records by searching their name at https://sos.oregon.gov/business/Pages/find.aspx. Look at the most recent filings and check for new or out-of-state ownership, frequent name or registration changes.
Next, look up their license on the Oregon Construction Contractors Board site at https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/Oregon. Click “About this Business,” then “More About this Business.” Check for a new or changed license number, gaps or inconsistencies in the license history, or whether the license number listed on your contract matches the original one.
Don’t hesitate to ask the company directly if they have changed ownership or license numbers in the past few years. If they can’t give you a clear answer, consider looking elsewhere.
Q: What red flags should I watch for?
- Recent change in ownership or license
- Confusing or aggressive financing offers
- No clear name of a local owner or point of contact
- Vague warranty terms or third-party warranty providers
- Companies that can’t tell you how long they’ve had their current license
Q: What makes your company different?
We’re a truly local, independently owned roofing company. We live here, work here, and have been serving Oregon homeowners with the same contractor license number for years.
We’ve said no to every investor that’s come calling — and there have been many — because we’re not building a company to flip. We’re building roofs and relationships that we stand behind for decades.
Our profits stay in Oregon. Our people live in Oregon. Our commitment is to you, not to shareholders.
Final Thought: Don’t Be Fooled by the Logo
A company can look local and even sound local but still be owned by a corporation hundreds of miles away. When you’re investing thousands of dollars into a roof, make sure the company you hire will be around, accountable, and invested in your community.
