Portland has the oldest housing on our list
The median Portland home was built in 1966. Many roofs on homes that old have been replaced at least once. Portland sees measurable precipitation about 157 days a year, so the re-roof window and the removal date need to match.
DevHub and special districts
Solar permits in Portland run through DevHub with Portland Permitting and Development. If your roof is in a historic or conservation district, special rules may apply. We check zoning on PortlandMaps before we plan the removal.
PGE or Pacific Power
Portland is split between PGE and Pacific Power, and the shutdown call goes to whichever serves your address. Your power bill names it. Fifty-two percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024).

Questions we hear a lot
Does a Portland historic district change panel removal?
It can. The city says special rules may apply in historic and conservation districts. We check first.
Who do I call at the utility in Portland?
It depends on the address. PGE serves much of the city and Pacific Power the rest.
How long are panels off during a Portland re-roof?
It depends on the roofer's schedule. We plan removal and return around it.
