To combine quality and value in your roofing project, keep the following tips in mind:
Get several estimates. Ask for references. Get addresses for completed projects then drive by and inspect the work. Make sure shingles are straight, aligned, and trimmed cleanly and neatly. Not confident about evaluating the project yourself? Recruit a friend who has been through a roofing project. Verify references. Find out if the homeowner would hire the roofer again. Find out if they have any problems with quality of the work or in dealing with the roofer. Did he honor his estimate, pick up nails, and replace damaged plantings?
Before you sign an agreement, read the contract. Make sure that the warranty is for a period of at least one year and that it covers leaks, flashing failure, and any labor-related defects. Make sure the materials specified in the estimate are reflected in the contract. If you have questions or doubts, ask the roofer to clarify them. Negotiate to satisfy both of you. The complete scope of work should be detailed and provision for additional charges should be specified. Make sure the roofer is licensed and insured. Obtain copies of licensing and insurance.

Oregon's contrasting physical features are characterized by great forested mountain slopes and treeless basins, rushing rivers and barren playas, lush valleys and extensive wastelands. The major determinant for these unusual climatic differences is the Cascade Range, a rugged mountain chain running north to south c.100 mi (160 km) inland. As the eastward-moving air masses, warmed by the Alaska Current and heavy with moisture from the Pacific Ocean, rise and meet the cooler mountain temperatures, rain is precipitated over the western third of Oregon. Dry air and continental climate prevail over the eastern two thirds of the state.
