The shaded area on the map isn't a circle with a compass point in Beaverton. It's
everywhere you can drive to from the shop in about 75 minutes, measured over
real roads without rush-hour traffic.
That's why the shape looks the way it does. It runs a long way down I-5 toward Salem and
Albany, and up US-26 to Sandy and Welches, because those roads are fast. It stops well
short of the coast, where the roads over the Coast Range are slow, even though the
distance on a map is similar.
Why drive time
A roof is rarely one visit. There's the estimate, the job, sometimes a return trip for a
flashing detail or a gutter adjustment, and a look after the first big storm. Keeping the
work within a reasonable drive means more of each day goes into your roof and less into
the truck, and it means we can come back without it being an expedition.
Why it stops at the Columbia
We're licensed with Oregon's Construction Contractors Board, CCB #263343. A CCB
license covers work in Oregon. Washington licenses contractors separately, so the line
follows the state line and the river, not the drive time.
You can look up any Oregon contractor's license, bond and insurance on the CCB's website.
It's worth doing for anyone you hire.
