Roofers in Beaverton, OR: Second and Third Roofs
The average Beaverton house was built around 1978, so the roof on it now is rarely the first. What is under the top layer decides the job.
Roofers in Beaverton work on houses of a certain age
Homeowners looking for roofers in Beaverton mostly own houses from one era. Portland Monthly’s 2016 neighborhood figures put the average build year at 1978. A house that age has usually been reroofed at least once, which raises the question every Beaverton bid should answer: how many layers are up there now?
If an earlier owner had new shingles laid over the old ones, a roof replacement today means tearing off both. That adds labor and dump fees, and it is the first good look anyone has had at the sheathing in decades. Ask each roofer to state the number of layers they found and their per-sheet price for replacing bad decking.
Houses of that age also tend to have the original flashing at chimneys and walls, reused through each reroof. If the roof is otherwise sound and the leak is next to the chimney, the chimney flashing page is the place to start, and the fix may be a repair.
City of Beaverton or Washington County?
Two different building departments cover addresses that say Beaverton. Inside city limits it is the City. In Aloha and the other unincorporated areas it is Washington County. Find out which applies before asking either one whether your reroof needs a permit.

Do I need a permit to reroof in Beaverton?
We have not confirmed Beaverton's rule at a primary source, so we will not state one. Call the City of Beaverton Building Division, or Washington County if the house is outside city limits, before work starts. A roofer who works in Beaverton regularly will also know.
