Sell Roofing Business in Oregon (2026): CCB Licensing, Moss + Moisture Re-Roof Cycle, 9.9% Top Tax (No Sales Tax), and the 76+ Buyer Reality

Selling a roofing business in Oregon in 2026 is a different transaction than selling one in California, Washington, or any storm-belt state. Oregon has the most rigorous CCB-administered contractor licensing framework in the Pacific Northwest, the highest single-line state income tax burden west of California (9.9% top rate), but offsets that with no sales tax (one of only 5 states), a moss and moisture-driven re-roof cycle that creates the most recurring residential demand pattern in the U.S., and a Portland metro that has both standalone density and Multnomah County / Metro additional income tax layers (1-3% on top of state). Owners who run a generic broker auction without addressing Oregon-specific dynamics routinely stall on CCB license transfer, miss recurring-revenue positioning, or accept lowball offers that ignore the steady-demand premium.

This guide is for Oregon roofing owners running between $750K and $20M of revenue, with normalized earnings between $200K SDE and $3M EBITDA. We’ll walk through the Oregon CCB license framework (Responsible Managing Individual / RMI rules, license endorsements, 16-hour pre-license training, NASCLA Oregon-version exam, $10K-$80K surety bond, $100K-$2M liability insurance), the CCB license transfer challenge at sale, Portland city-of-Portland-specific contractor licensing layers, the moss and moisture re-roof cycle (15-25 year asphalt shingle life vs. 25-30 in dry climates), the maintenance and treatment recurring-revenue opportunity, the 9.9% top state income tax math, the Multnomah County Preschool for All tax (1.5-3%) and Metro Supportive Housing Services tax (1%) for Portland-area sellers, the buyer archetypes most active in Oregon roofing this year, metro-by-metro deal dynamics (Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford), and the 18-24 month preparation playbook.

The framework draws on direct work with 76+ active U.S. lower middle market buyers, including Pacific Northwest-overlap consolidators, applied to your market and your numbers. We’re a buy-side partner. The buyers pay us when a deal closes — not you. That includes PE-backed roofing consolidators with Pacific Northwest appetite (Vertex Service Partners — Alpine Investors; Best Choice Roofing — Brightstar Capital; Aligned Exteriors Group — River Sea Capital; Tecta America — Altas Partners commercial; Infinity Home Services — Freeman Spogli + LightBay; Skyline Industries via Imperial; River Sea Capital’s broader exterior portfolio), search funders pursuing Pacific Northwest home services, family offices with PNW theses, SBA-financed individuals, and strategic regional Oregon / Washington operators. Use the free calculator below for a 90-second valuation range, then read the structural sections for what actually moves the multiple.

One realistic note before you start. If you built your Oregon roofing business heavily on Portland metro residential retail re-roof with high-quality reviews, manufacturer-elite credentials (GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed Select, Owens Corning Platinum), and documented moss / maintenance recurring revenue, your business is structurally well-positioned for premium multiples in 2026. If you operate primarily in rural Eastern Oregon or the southern coast with thin density and limited recurring revenue, your multiple band is materially lower — not because you’re a bad operator but because buyers can’t scale platforms in low-density geographies. Where you sit on that spectrum determines your realistic multiple range.

“Oregon roofing is the most underrated stability play in U.S. roofing M&A. Generic brokers underprice it because there’s no hurricane headline, no tornado outbreak, no storm-restoration story to drive a multiple. That’s wrong. Pacific Northwest moss and moisture force a 15-25 year re-roof cycle that’s steadier and more recurring than any storm-belt market. The Oregon deal hinges on three specific things: how clean your CCB endorsement transfer plan looks (RMI rules), how well you document moss-treatment and maintenance recurring revenue, and whether you’ve actually built a Portland metro density story or just a generic Willamette Valley one. We’re a buy-side partner, the buyers pay us, no contract required.”

Key Takeaways

• Oregon CCB (Construction Contractors Board) administers a real, examined license framework with endorsements (Residential General, Residential Specialty Roofing, Commercial). RMI (Responsible Managing Individual) is the equivalent of a Qualifying Agent in other states — transition planning is a deal-killer if not done 12-18 months pre-sale.
• Oregon’s 9.9% top state income tax kicks in at $125K single / $250K married, with capital gains taxed at the same ordinary rates. Portland metro adds Multnomah County Preschool for All (1.5-3%) and Metro Supportive Housing Services (1%) for income above $125K single — combined effective rate can hit 13-14% for Portland sellers above thresholds.
• No state sales tax (one of only 5 U.S. states) materially offsets the income tax burden over time and during deal close (no sales tax exposure on inventory transfers).
• Oregon roofing PE activity is increasing as Sun Belt and national platforms expand: Vertex Service Partners (Alpine), Best Choice Roofing (Brightstar), Aligned Exteriors (River Sea), Tecta America commercial (Altas), Infinity Home Services. Plus 5-10 regional Pacific Northwest rollups deploying capital in 2026.
• Oregon roofing multiples by tier: sub-$2M residential retail = 3-4.5x SDE; $300K-$1M SDE retail with moss-recurring = 3.5-5x SDE; $1M-$3M EBITDA = 5-7x EBITDA; $3M+ multi-metro PNW platforms = 6.5-8x EBITDA; commercial flat-roof with service contracts = 5-7x EBITDA. PNW recurring-demand stability supports higher multiples than storm-belt states.
• The moss / moisture re-roof cycle (15-25 year asphalt shingle life vs. 25-30 in dry climates) creates the most recurring residential demand pattern in U.S. roofing — structurally premium positioning for buyers seeking platform stability.

Why Oregon roofing M&A is structurally distinct in 2026

Oregon roofing M&A is structurally distinct because of the convergence of CCB regulatory rigor, the moss/moisture re-roof cycle, Portland metro density with layered local taxes, and the 9.9% / no-sales-tax tax structure. Oregon has 4.2M residents (population rank ~27), with Portland metro accounting for 40%+ of state population and economic activity. The CCB administers one of the most rigorous contractor licensing frameworks in the Pacific Northwest. Climate-wise, Portland metro receives 36-43 inches of annual rainfall, October-May cloud cover keeps moisture trapped on roof surfaces, and moss / algae growth shortens asphalt shingle life materially. Between 2022 and 2026, an estimated $150-300M of PE capital was deployed into Pacific Northwest roofing platforms and add-ons (smaller than Florida or Texas, but accelerating).

The moss / moisture cycle is the dominant structural driver of demand stability. Even premium asphalt shingles last just 15-25 years under damp Oregon conditions, versus 25-30 in dry climates. Moss traps moisture against shingles, lifts edges, and accelerates degradation. The result: a steady, predictable replacement cycle that’s largely independent of weather catastrophes (no hurricanes, low tornado activity, modest hail). Roofers who position recurring moss treatment, annual roof cleaning, and maintenance contracts as a service line build the most predictable EBITDA streams in U.S. residential roofing — which buyers reward with premium multiples.

The CCB license is real, examined, and transferable only through specific procedures. Oregon Construction Contractors Board licenses require a Responsible Managing Individual (RMI) who completes 16-hour pre-license training and passes an exam based on the NASCLA Oregon-version Contractors Guide to Business, Law and Project Management. The license is held by the entity, but the RMI is the individual who carries personal responsibility for code compliance and consumer protection. At sale, RMI transition is the equivalent of the Qualifying Agent challenge in Florida or Tennessee — if the seller is the RMI and exits at close, the entity loses its license unless an alternate RMI is in place.

Why this matters for your valuation expectation. If your Oregon roofing business has clean CCB licensing, a transferable RMI plan, documented moss-treatment recurring revenue, and Portland metro density, a generic broker can still leave 1-2x of multiple on the table by failing to position the recurring-revenue story or matching to the wrong buyer archetype. A buy-side partner who already knows which Oregon-active and Pacific Northwest-active buyers underwrite recurring residential vs. commercial flat-roof vs. multi-metro platforms will price you on normalized economics, match you to a buyer whose thesis fits, and avoid the auction churn. That’s the structural reason Oregon roofers benefit disproportionately from buy-side partnership.

Oregon CCB licensing: endorsements, RMI rules, and the transition problem

Oregon CCB administers one of the most rigorous Pacific Northwest contractor licensing frameworks, and the RMI structure creates a transition risk buyers underwrite carefully. Under ORS Chapter 701, Oregon construction contractors operate under license endorsements: Residential General Contractor, Residential Specialty Contractor (which covers roofing-only operators), Commercial General Contractor, Commercial Specialty Contractor, Home Inspector, and others. Roofers most commonly operate under Residential Specialty (single-family roofing), Commercial Specialty (commercial flat-roof), or both. Each endorsement requires its own bond, insurance, and exam pathway.

The RMI (Responsible Managing Individual) transition is the single biggest Oregon-specific deal risk. Each CCB-licensed entity must have an RMI — an individual who completes the 16-hour pre-license training, passes the NASCLA Oregon-version exam, and assumes personal responsibility for the contracting entity’s license. If you are the RMI for your roofing entity and you exit at close, the entity loses its license unless an alternate RMI is in place. Three transition paths: (1) seller stays 12-24 months as RMI during transition (compresses exit, adds compensation friction); (2) buyer’s existing RMI transfers in (only available to PE-backed platforms with internal RMIs licensed in OR); (3) buyer recruits a new RMI before close (60-180 day delay risk, plus exam scheduling). Plan this 12-18 months pre-sale — promote a project manager into RMI status, get them through 16-hour training and exam, transfer license-holder status well before going to market.

CCB bond and insurance requirements. Surety bonds range from $10,000 to $80,000 depending on license type (residential vs. commercial, general vs. specialty). General liability insurance ranges from $100K to $2M per occurrence depending on endorsement (residential contractors typically carry $300K-$500K per occurrence). Workers compensation is required for any contractor with employees. Buyers will verify all bonds and insurance certificates as part of CCB-license diligence.

Application timing and lapse rules. Once an RMI passes the exam, they must apply for the CCB license within 24 months. If a CCB license lapses for more than 24 months, the RMI must retake training and pass the exam again. Buyers verify license history and any lapses. A roofer with a clean trailing-10-year CCB license history (no lapses, no enforcement actions, no consumer complaints filed with CCB) commands full multiples; one with lapses or disciplinary actions faces 0.5-1x compression.

City of Portland additional contractor licensing. Beyond CCB, the City of Portland requires additional contractor licensing for work performed within city limits. Portland Permitting & Development administers the local layer. Buyers verify city of Portland license status and trailing-24-month permit pull history for any business operating in the city. Roofers without clean Portland-specific permit records face diligence questions and multiple compression.

Why CCB and Portland licensing rigor is a positive overall. The CCB regulatory framework creates real barriers to entry that protect incumbent roofers from race-to-the-bottom pricing competition. Buyers value markets with regulatory friction because licensed competitors can’t scale fast and unlicensed entrants face enforcement risk. Oregon roofers who maintain clean CCB and Portland licensing, current bonds and insurance, and zero CCB enforcement history command premium multiples for the regulatory moat they’ve built.

The moss / moisture re-roof cycle and recurring-revenue positioning

The Pacific Northwest moss / moisture cycle is the single most underappreciated structural advantage in Oregon roofing M&A. Annual rainfall in Portland metro exceeds 40 inches; October-May cloud cover keeps moisture trapped on north-facing and shaded roof surfaces; moss and algae growth lifts shingle edges, traps additional moisture, and accelerates degradation. The result: even premium asphalt shingles last just 15-25 years under Oregon conditions, versus 25-30 years in dry climates like Arizona or New Mexico. This shortened cycle creates steady, predictable replacement demand — and buyers reward this stability with multiple premium.

Why the moss cycle creates genuine recurring revenue (not just episodic replacement). Oregon roofers can build several recurring-revenue lines that don’t exist in dry-climate markets: annual or biennial moss treatment contracts ($300-800 per visit, recurring), full roof cleaning services ($800-2,500), preventive moss-prevention installations (zinc strips, copper strips, biocides), and integrated maintenance agreements that combine cleaning with gutter and accessory work. These lines collectively can generate 15-30% of revenue at mature operators, and they trade at the highest multiples in roofing — 5-7x EBITDA at scale because the revenue is contracted, predictable, and renewable.

Documenting moss-treatment recurring revenue in your CIM. Buyers want a clean separation: residential retail re-roof (homeowner-pay, 15-25 year cycle), residential service and maintenance (annual moss treatment, roof cleaning, gutter), commercial flat-roof (long-cycle, contracted), and commercial service (recurring service agreements). The recurring buckets get full multiples (5-7x EBITDA on residential moss-maintenance and commercial service contracts). The episodic re-roof buckets get standard multiples (3-4.5x SDE residential, 4-5.5x EBITDA at scale).

Material mix and the premium for metal and tile in Oregon. Asphalt shingles dominate Oregon residential roofing but degrade fastest under moisture. Metal roofs (standing-seam, corrugated) last 40-70 years and are increasingly chosen for premium replacements. Cedar shake remains popular in Bend and other dry-side Oregon markets but faces fire-code restrictions. Synthetic slate and composite materials are growing in coastal markets. Roofers with metal roofing capability command premium positioning — metal jobs run 2-3x asphalt revenue per square, with stronger margins, and buyers value metal-capable platforms because the roofing-tier upgrade trend favors metal.

Best-time-to-replace seasonality and operational implications. Most Oregon roofers treat mid-May through early October as the safest replacement window. November-April brings rain and limited dry-day availability, compressing the productive season into 5-6 months. Roofers who maintain crew capacity through the wet season (interior work, commercial flat-roof, maintenance) outperform those who cycle crews seasonally. Buyers value year-round revenue stability and crew retention — a 12-month operating model with diversified service lines (commercial maintenance, indoor work, moss treatment) supports premium multiples.

Oregon tax math: 9.9% top state rate, no sales tax, and the Portland metro layered taxes

Oregon’s graduated state income tax tops at 9.9% for income above $125K single / $250K married, with capital gains taxed at the same ordinary rates — no preferential treatment. On a $5M Oregon roofing sale, the seller pays roughly 20-23.8% federal capital gains plus 3.8% NIIT plus 9.9% Oregon state — total federal+state ~33-37% (depending on income and filing status). That’s materially higher than Florida (0% state, ~24-28% total) or Texas (0% state, ~24-28% total). It’s comparable to California (12.3-13.3% state, ~36-40% total). Oregon is a high-tax state for capital gains.

The no-sales-tax offset is real but partial. Oregon is one of only 5 states with no state sales tax (alongside New Hampshire, Montana, Delaware, and Alaska). For roofing operators, this saves on equipment purchases, vehicle purchases, and inventory acquisition. Over a 20-year holding period, a roofing business that purchases $100K-300K of inventory and equipment annually saves $80-300K of cumulative state sales tax versus a comparable roofer in a 7-9% sales tax state. At deal close, no Oregon sales tax exposure on inventory transfers. The cumulative effect partially offsets the income tax burden but doesn’t fully neutralize it.

Portland metro layered local income taxes (Multnomah County and Metro). Portland metro residents face additional layered local income taxes that can push effective state-level rates to 13-14% for high earners. Multnomah County Preschool for All tax: 1.5% on income above $125K single / $200K joint, rising to 3% above $250K single / $400K joint. Metro Supportive Housing Services tax: 1% on income above $125K single / $200K joint. Combined, a Portland metro seller with $500K of W-2 income plus a $5M business sale gain faces roughly 9.9% state + 1.5-3% PFA + 1% Metro on the gain — total state-and-local 12.4-13.9% on the gain.

After-tax math comparing Oregon to alternatives. On a $5M Oregon roofing sale by a Portland resident, after-tax proceeds run roughly $3.0-3.2M (federal + Oregon state + Multnomah PFA + Metro SHS). The same sale by a Bend (Deschutes County) resident with no Multnomah/Metro taxes runs roughly $3.1-3.3M. By a Texas resident, $3.5-3.7M. By a California resident, $3.0-3.2M. Oregon is genuinely high-tax, especially in Portland metro. Sellers with relocation flexibility sometimes consider moving to Bend (Deschutes County) for 12-24 months pre-sale to escape Multnomah PFA and Metro SHS — the math on $300-600K of additional after-tax proceeds supports the move if it fits the seller’s life.

Asset allocation in an Oregon roofing deal. Typical $3M Oregon roofing asset sale: tangible equipment and FF&E (trucks, ladders, lifts, tools) $200-400K (ordinary income recapture); inventory $30-80K (ordinary income); customer list and goodwill $1.5-2.2M (capital gains); non-compete $50-150K (ordinary income to seller). Negotiating allocation with skilled tax counsel can shift $150-350K of after-tax proceeds in favor of the seller. The Oregon high-tax environment amplifies allocation impact — capital gains treatment is critical at the federal AND state level.

Oregon roofing valuation by tier: residential, commercial, and recurring-service

Oregon roofing multiples vary significantly by tier and revenue mix, with PNW recurring-revenue dynamics supporting higher multiples than storm-belt comparisons. The four tiers most active buyers underwrite separately: (1) residential retail re-roof; (2) residential retail with moss-treatment recurring revenue; (3) commercial flat-roof and service; (4) multi-metro PNW platform with $2M+ EBITDA. Each tier has a different buyer pool, different financing structure, and different multiple range. Knowing which tier you fit determines positioning and target buyer match.

Tier 1: Residential retail re-roof (homeowner-pay, no recurring). Replacement-cycle driven (15-25 year asphalt shingle cycles, dominant in Oregon residential). Demand is steady due to moss/moisture but episodic at the customer level. Multiples: 3-4.5x SDE (sub-$500K SDE) or 4-5.5x EBITDA ($500K-$1.5M EBITDA). Premium positioning requires manufacturer credentials, 4.5+ star reviews, financing partnerships (GreenSky, EnerBank, Service Finance), and recognizable Portland metro brand. Active buyers: SBA-financed individuals, regional Oregon operators, Best Choice Roofing, Vertex Service Partners, Aligned Exteriors.

Tier 2: Residential retail with moss-treatment recurring revenue. The PNW differentiator. A roofer with $2M revenue split 70% re-roof + 30% recurring moss treatment / cleaning / maintenance is meaningfully more valuable than the same revenue purely episodic. Multiples: 4-5x SDE (sub-$500K SDE) or 5-6.5x EBITDA ($500K-$2M EBITDA). Premium positioning requires documented contract base, customer retention metrics (renewal rate, average customer lifetime), and operational systems (CRM, scheduling, route density). Active buyers: residential platforms valuing recurring revenue (Vertex, Aligned Exteriors, Infinity Home Services).

Tier 3: Commercial flat-roof and service. Long-cycle (10-25 year roof life), often pre-bid, recurring service component. Multiples are higher because revenue is recurring and EBITDA is more predictable. $400K-$1.5M EBITDA: 4.5-6x EBITDA. $1.5M+ EBITDA with multi-year service contracts: 5.5-7x EBITDA. Premium positioning requires single-ply (TPO, EPDM, PVC) certifications (Carlisle, Firestone, Johns Manville, GAF), commercial GC relationships in Portland metro and Salem/Eugene, and 3-5 year service agreement portfolios. Active buyers: Tecta America (Altas Partners), CentiMark, Service Logic, regional commercial consolidators.

Tier 4: Multi-metro Pacific Northwest platforms ($2M+ EBITDA). The institutional tier in Oregon. Multi-metro footprint (Portland metro + Salem or Eugene + ideally Bend or Medford), diversified revenue (residential retail + recurring moss-maintenance + commercial + service), strong management bench, manufacturer-elite credentials, clean CCB history. Multiples: 6.5-8x EBITDA, occasionally higher for premium platforms. Active buyers: PE-backed national roofing platforms (Vertex, Aligned Exteriors, Tecta), institutional family offices, public consolidators (TopBuild for $5M+ EBITDA commercial).

Why your service-mix determines your multiple band. The single biggest determinant of where your business prices in its tier’s range is recurring-revenue percentage. A residential retail roofer with 30%+ moss-treatment / maintenance / commercial-service recurring revenue prices at the top of its tier (5-6.5x EBITDA in Tier 2). The same roofer with purely episodic re-roof revenue prices at the bottom (3-4.5x SDE in Tier 1). The mix is harder to change in 60 days but trackable across 12-24 months — building moss-treatment contract base, gutter and accessory recurring revenue, and commercial service is the highest-leverage operational change pre-sale.

Active 2026 Oregon roofing buyer pool: PE platforms, strategic operators, individuals

Oregon’s buyer pool is smaller than Florida or Texas but structurally premium because of recurring-revenue dynamics and PNW density appeal. PE-backed consolidators have public Pacific Northwest expansion theses; strategic operators expand from Washington and California; individual SBA buyers are highly active at the sub-$1M EBITDA end. The right buyer for your business depends on tier, revenue mix, geography, and management depth — not on whoever a generic broker happens to know.

Vertex Service Partners (Alpine Investors). National home-services platform from Alpine Investors with explicit roofing expansion thesis. Active in Florida, Texas, Southeast, and Pacific Northwest markets. Interest in residential roofing platforms with strong recurring or referral-driven revenue — a natural fit for PNW moss-recurring revenue stories. Strong fit for $1M-$3M EBITDA Oregon residential roofers with clean operating model and Portland metro presence.

Best Choice Roofing (Brightstar Capital Partners). National residential roofing consolidator with active expansion into PNW. Tuck-in strategy focused on residential retail re-roof and insurance-claim work. Strong fit for $300K-$1.5M SDE Oregon residential roofers with strong sales process and brand recognition in Portland metro, Salem, or Eugene.

Aligned Exteriors Group (River Sea Capital). Aligned Exteriors is a residential roofing and exterior consolidator that took a majority stake in Home Pro Roofing in 2025 and continues active platform expansion into Sun Belt and Pacific Northwest. Interest in residential roofing with diversified revenue and strong sales motion. Strong fit for $500K-$2M EBITDA Oregon residential roofers, particularly those with moss-recurring revenue.

Tecta America (Altas Partners) — commercial focus. The largest U.S. commercial roofing consolidator with 100+ locations and six 2025 acquisitions including Oklahoma Roofing & Sheet Metal and Alpine Roofing of Sparks, Nevada. Tecta has Pacific Northwest commercial appetite and existing PNW operations. Interest in commercial flat-roof specialists with single-ply credentials, GC relationships, and 5+ year service contract portfolios. Strong fit for $1M-$5M EBITDA commercial Oregon roofers.

Infinity Home Services (Freeman Spogli + LightBay Capital). Multi-platform home services with 26 portfolio brands, including roofing-adjacent operations. Active national residential roofing thesis with Pacific Northwest expansion. Strong fit for $750K+ SDE Oregon residential roofers with strong financing penetration and consumer-facing sales motion.

Skyline Industries (Imperial portfolio). Skyline operates a multi-state residential roofing platform with PNW expansion appetite. Interest in residential retail re-roof platforms with strong operations and 4.5+ star reviews. Strong fit for $500K-$2M EBITDA Oregon residential roofers.

TopBuild (NYSE: BLD) — public strategic. TopBuild’s 2025 acquisition of Progressive Roofing for $810M signaled major public-strategic interest in roofing M&A. While Progressive was commercial-national, TopBuild has expressed continued M&A appetite. Strong fit for $5M+ EBITDA Oregon commercial roofing platforms with multi-state expansion potential.

Specialty Building Products and ABC Supply (distribution-side strategic). Specialty Building Products acquired Oregon-based OrePac Building Products in late 2025; ABC Supply has acquired Portland-area roofing supply distributors. While these are distribution rather than installation acquisitions, they signal sustained Oregon and PNW investment from sophisticated capital and validate the regional roofing thesis.

Regional independent sponsors and family offices. Roughly 8-15 Pacific Northwest-and-Sun-Belt-overlap independent sponsors and family offices have explicit roofing search criteria covering Oregon. Many have done 1-3 platform investments and are actively seeking Oregon tuck-ins or platforms. They typically pay slightly below institutional PE on multiple but offer faster close, less invasive diligence, and more rollover flexibility. Strong fit for $400K-$2M EBITDA Oregon roofers seeking partial liquidity with continuing equity.

Oregon metro-by-metro deal dynamics: Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford

Oregon is not a single roofing market — it’s 5+ economically distinct metros with different climate microclimates, regulatory layers, and buyer footprints. Buyers underwrite Oregon roofing geographically. A Portland-only roofer with no Salem or Eugene presence is a different deal than a Bend-focused operator (dry climate, very different roofing needs) or a Medford / Southern Oregon roofer. Premium Oregon platforms typically span at least two of the major metros.

Portland metro (Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas counties). Oregon’s largest market, ~2.5M MSA population, dense housing stock, peak moss/moisture climate. Multnomah PFA + Metro SHS layered local income taxes. Strict City of Portland contractor licensing layer. Highest density of CCB-active roofers (~800+ active licensees in Portland metro alone). Active platform consolidators: Vertex, Best Choice, Aligned Exteriors, Tecta commercial. Premium positioning requires Portland city license, GAF Master Elite or equivalent credentials, documented moss-recurring revenue, and 4.5+ star Google reviews.

Salem (Marion, Polk counties) and the mid-Willamette Valley. Oregon’s capital, ~430K MSA population. Mixed government, agricultural, and residential economy. Similar moss/moisture cycle to Portland. No Multnomah PFA or Metro SHS layered taxes (Marion County). Active platform consolidators: Vertex, Best Choice, regional Oregon operators expanding from Portland. Premium positioning requires multi-county footprint into Polk and southern Clackamas, agricultural/equine outbuilding capability, and government / school / hospital contract relationships.

Eugene-Springfield (Lane County) and the southern Willamette Valley. ~390K MSA population, university economy (University of Oregon), residential growth. Similar moss/moisture cycle but slightly drier than Portland. Active platform consolidators: regional Oregon operators, Vertex, Best Choice expanding south. Premium positioning requires multi-segment mix (residential retail + university/government commercial + service contracts) and strong Lane County brand.

Bend (Deschutes County) and Central Oregon. Fastest-growing Oregon metro (8-12% MSA population growth 2020-2025). Dry-side Oregon climate (12-15 inches annual rainfall) means very different roofing dynamics: longer asphalt shingle life (25-30 years), no moss issue, but increased fire-code restrictions on cedar shake. Premium tile, metal, and synthetic slate prevalent. Active platform consolidators: Vertex, Aligned Exteriors, Pacific Northwest expansion plays. Premium positioning requires fire-code expertise, metal roofing capability, affluent-residential focus, and second-home market experience.

Medford / Ashland / Southern Oregon. ~225K MSA population. Mediterranean climate (drier than Willamette Valley), wildfire exposure increasing. Active consolidators: regional Pacific Northwest, California-based operators expanding north. Premium positioning requires fire-resistant roofing capability, wildfire-recovery experience, and multi-county footprint into Jackson and Josephine counties.

Why metro footprint matters for buyer match. Different consolidators have different geographic theses. Vertex prioritizes Portland metro density; Tecta is commercial across all metros; Aligned Exteriors expands Sun Belt-style across PNW; Bend operators look for Central Oregon dry-side specialists. A generic broker auction sends your CIM to all of them; a buy-side partner who already knows each consolidator’s geographic gap matches you to the buyer who needs your specific market. The match-quality difference is 0.5-1.5x of multiple.

Material cost exposure and manufacturer relationships in Oregon

Roofing material costs are the largest single COGS line for Oregon roofers and they’re commodity-driven. Asphalt shingles dominate residential (oil-derivative pricing), metal panels (steel and aluminum) are growing rapidly especially in Bend and premium replacements, accessories (underlayment, fasteners, vents) all move with global commodity cycles. Between 2020 and 2024, asphalt shingle prices rose 30-50% before partially correcting. Oregon roofers who passed through cost increases rapidly maintained margin; those who absorbed increases saw 600-1,200 basis point margin compression.

Manufacturer relationships and direct-buy programs. Major manufacturers (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Atlas, IKO for asphalt; Carlisle, Firestone, Johns Manville for commercial single-ply; Metal Sales, Englert, Drexel Metals for metal) offer direct-buy programs to qualified contractors at favorable pricing, payment terms, and warranty terms. Volume thresholds typically require $300K-$1M+ annual purchases. Oregon roofers in direct-buy programs see 5-15% material-cost advantages versus distributor purchases.

Manufacturer-elite tier programs (the multiple driver). GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed Select Shingle Master, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, Atlas Pro+, IKO ROOFPRO are credentialing programs that allow roofers to offer enhanced (non-prorated, longer-term) warranties. Premium-tier credentials require minimum volume, training certifications, and quality audits. They drive 0.4-0.8x multiple uplift in Oregon, support insurance carrier preferred-contractor status, and provide marketing differentiation. Roofers should enter a manufacturer’s premium tier 12-24 months pre-sale to maximize credentialing impact.

Distributor relationships in Oregon. Beacon Roofing Supply (NASDAQ: BECN), ABC Supply (recently acquired Portland-area roofing supply), SRS Distribution (now Home Depot), Specialty Building Products (recently acquired OrePac), and regional Pacific Northwest distributors are the dominant Oregon roofing supply chain. Distributor relationships affect pricing, payment terms, jobsite delivery reliability, and credit limits. Buyers underwrite distributor relationships as a component of operational stability — a roofer with multi-distributor relationships and clean payment history is a lower-risk acquisition.

Material cost normalization in QoE. QoE firms will normalize material cost lines for diligence: trailing-12 vs. trailing-36 average material cost as % of revenue, gross margin trend by service line, evidence of cost pass-through to customers in price increases, distributor concentration, and manufacturer-rebate income. Oregon roofers with documented cost-management discipline support full multiple ranges; those who absorbed material cost increases without documented price pass-through face margin-quality challenges in diligence.

Pre-sale prep: the 18-24 month Oregon roofing playbook

Oregon roofers benefit from longer pre-sale prep than most states because of CCB RMI transition planning, recurring-revenue build-up time, and Portland metro positioning. The owners who exit at 5.5-7.5x EBITDA typically started prep 18-24 months ahead. The owners who go to market unprepared often see initial 5-6x indications retraded to 3.5-4x in diligence, or watch deals collapse over RMI transition issues, missing manufacturer credentials, or absent recurring-revenue documentation. The work below is what buyers and their QoE teams actually look for.

Months 24-18: financial cleanup, RMI succession identification, recurring-revenue build. Move to monthly closes by the 15th of the following month. CPA-prepared annual financial statements (not bookkeeper-prepared). Identify a non-owner RMI successor candidate. Begin building moss-treatment recurring revenue if you don’t already — even modest ($50-200K annual) recurring revenue meaningfully changes valuation conversations. Document insurance carrier preferred-contractor status with current good-standing letters.

Months 18-12: RMI transition execution, CCB license cleanup, manufacturer credentialing. Promote your RMI successor through 16-hour pre-license training and the NASCLA Oregon-version exam. Transfer RMI status. Audit CCB license history for any lapses, complaints, or enforcement actions. Resolve any open issues. Pursue or upgrade manufacturer-elite credentials (GAF Master Elite is the gold standard). Document City of Portland contractor licensing and trailing-24-month permit history.

Months 12-6: revenue mix optimization and recurring revenue scaling. Pivot revenue mix toward higher-multiple buckets: residential retail (homeowner-pay) plus moss-treatment recurring, commercial flat-roof, service contracts. Build the moss-treatment / roof cleaning / maintenance contract base aggressively (annual contracts, multi-year contracts, route density). Audit customer concentration; diversify if any single customer (insurance carrier, GC, HOA management) is above 20% of revenue.

Months 12-6: reduce owner dependency. Identify what only you do today (sales, customer relationships, manufacturer relationships, RMI status). Document SOPs. Promote or hire into those roles. Take a 30-day vacation 9 months before going to market. Buyers explicitly diligence this — key staff and customers will be interviewed and asked about owner dependency. A roofer that survives a 30-day owner absence commands 0.5-1x multiple uplift.

Months 6-0: data room, CIM, tax structure, and Bend-relocation question. Compile 36 months of tax returns, P&Ls, balance sheets, payroll registers, jobs database with revenue tagging by source, lease, CCB license documentation, manufacturer agreements, insurance carrier agreements, equipment list with title documentation. Build the CIM emphasizing Oregon-specific positioning: documented moss-recurring revenue, RMI transition plan, Portland metro density (or Bend dry-side specialty), manufacturer-elite credentials, and CCB clean history. Engage Oregon-experienced tax counsel for asset allocation strategy. If you’re a Portland metro resident with closing flexibility, evaluate whether a 12-24 month Bend relocation pre-sale escapes Multnomah PFA and Metro SHS — the math on $300-600K of additional after-tax proceeds may support the move.

Oregon roofing sale process and timeline expectations

An Oregon roofing sale typically runs 5-9 months from prep-complete to close, with material variance based on tier and buyer match. The fastest paths: a buy-side matched introduction to an Oregon-active or Pacific Northwest-active consolidator who already has the diligence framework, deal team, and CCB license-transfer process ready — 60-120 days from intro to close. The slower paths: a generic broker auction with 4-month marketing cycle, multi-buyer LOI process, full QoE engagement, RMI transition surprises — 9-15 months.

Typical buy-side matched timeline (60-120 days). Day 1-15: introduction, mutual NDA, preliminary financials shared. Day 15-30: management call, IOI from buyer. Day 30-45: LOI negotiation and signing. Day 45-90: confirmatory diligence (financial QoE, operational, legal, CCB / Portland license transfer planning). Day 90-120: definitive agreement, close. Works for $500K-$3M EBITDA Oregon roofers with clean financials, documented RMI transition, recurring-revenue documentation, and buyer-tier match.

Generic broker auction timeline (9-15 months). Months 1-3: positioning, CIM, buyer outreach (50-150 prospects). Months 3-5: management presentations (10-20), IOIs, narrowing to 3-5 LOIs. Months 5-8: LOI negotiation, full QoE, operational diligence, RMI transition issues surface. Months 8-12: definitive agreement, regulatory and CCB license approvals, close. Common fall-through points: RMI transition (no successor in place), missing manufacturer credentials, weak recurring-revenue documentation, customer concentration, owner dependency.

Why buy-side beats sell-side broker for most Oregon roofers. Sell-side brokers represent you and charge 6-12% of deal proceeds (often $200K-$800K) plus monthly retainer plus 12-month exclusivity plus tail fee. They run an auction to find a buyer. A buy-side partner already knows the buyers, has worked with them on prior deals, knows their PNW theses, and brings a matched introduction without retainer or exclusivity. The buyer pays the buy-side partner; the seller pays nothing. Net difference: faster close, lower friction, 0% advisor fee, higher likelihood of multiple match.

Common Oregon-specific deal-killers. RMI transition not pre-planned (forces seller to stay 12-24 months as employee post-close). CCB license history with unresolved enforcement actions. Recurring-revenue claims (moss-treatment contracts) not documented in data room. Portland city license missing or lapsed. Customer concentration above 20%. Manufacturer-elite credentials absent. Plan for each in your 18-24 month prep.

Common Oregon roofing valuation mistakes and how to avoid them

Mistake 1: ignoring CCB RMI transition until diligence. Owners who assume the buyer will “figure out the license transfer” discover at LOI stage that the buyer is requiring 12-24 months of seller employment as RMI. Plan and execute the transition 12-18 months pre-sale — promote and certify a non-owner RMI through 16-hour training and the NASCLA exam. The exit is cleaner and you avoid the long employment tail.

Mistake 2: not documenting moss-treatment recurring revenue. Oregon roofers often have meaningful moss-treatment, roof cleaning, and maintenance revenue but don’t separate it cleanly in financials. Buyers value recurring revenue at 5-7x EBITDA versus 3-4.5x SDE for episodic re-roof. Cleanly separating recurring lines (with contract documentation, renewal rates, customer retention) can lift overall multiple by 0.5-1.5x. Build the recurring-revenue narrative explicitly in the CIM.

Mistake 3: not pursuing manufacturer-elite credentials. GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed Select, Owens Corning Platinum credentials drive 0.4-0.8x multiple uplift and support preferred-contractor status. They take 6-18 months to attain. Owners who skip credentialing leave $100-400K of value on the table. Pursue at least one premium credential 18-24 months pre-sale.

Mistake 4: customer concentration above 20%. An Oregon roofer with 35% of revenue from a single insurance carrier, GC, or property management company will see multiple compression of 0.5-1.5x at most institutional buyers. The fix is 12-24 months of intentional diversification. Add carriers, add GCs, add direct-to-consumer revenue. Buyers underwrite top-5 customer concentration; below 40% is healthy, above 50% is a serious problem.

Mistake 5: ignoring Portland city contractor licensing. Beyond CCB, the City of Portland requires its own contractor license for any work in city limits. Buyers will verify city of Portland license status and trailing-24-month permit pull history. Roofers without clean Portland-specific permit records face diligence questions and 10-20% multiple compression.

Mistake 6: not evaluating Bend relocation if Portland-resident with closing flexibility. Multnomah County PFA (1.5-3%) and Metro SHS (1%) layered local income taxes can add 2.5-4% to a Portland resident’s effective rate on a roofing exit gain. A 12-24 month Bend (Deschutes County) relocation pre-sale eliminates these layered taxes. On a $5M gain, the savings are $125-200K. The relocation must be genuine: change of residence, voter registration, driver’s license, primary banking. Discuss with tax counsel.

Mistake 7: assuming Bend dry-side dynamics apply to Portland or vice-versa. Portland metro is moss/moisture-driven (15-25 year asphalt cycle, recurring moss treatment opportunity). Bend is dry-side (25-30 year cycle, no moss issue, fire-code emphasis, premium metal/tile). Buyers underwrite each market on its own dynamics. A Bend roofer positioning as a Portland-style moss-recurring story misreads the buyer pool; same for the reverse.

How to position your Oregon roofing business for the right buyer archetype

The single highest-leverage positioning decision is matching your Oregon roofing business to its right buyer archetype. Sub-$750K EBITDA roofers position to SBA buyers and small regional PNW consolidators. $750K-$2.5M EBITDA position to PE-backed national platforms with PNW expansion theses. $2.5M+ EBITDA position to institutional consolidators or strategic public buyers. Recurring-moss-revenue heavy position to Vertex or Aligned Exteriors. Commercial position to Tecta America. Mismatched positioning costs 6-9 months and 1-2x of multiple.

Position for SBA individual buyers when: Your SDE is $200K-$700K, you have a transferable RMI successor, clean CCB license history, and you’re willing to seller-finance 15-25% with a 60-120 day training period. Emphasize: stable residential retail revenue, manageable customer base, documented SOPs, willingness to support the new owner. Multiple range: 2.5-4x SDE.

Position for Vertex Service Partners (Alpine Investors) when: Your EBITDA is $1M-$3M with diversified residential retail revenue mix, documented moss-treatment recurring revenue, Portland metro presence, manufacturer credentials, and clean operating model. Emphasize: platform-quality earnings, recurring-revenue ratio, growth runway, residential retail focus, management bench. Multiple range: 5-7x EBITDA.

Position for Aligned Exteriors Group (River Sea) when: Your business is residential-exterior focused with strong sales motion, 4.5+ star Google reviews, and diversified roofing + siding + windows or moss-treatment service mix. Aligned took a majority stake in Home Pro Roofing in 2025 and continues active platform expansion. Emphasize: residential exterior portfolio, brand recognition, marketing process. Multiple range: 4.5-6.5x EBITDA.

Position for Best Choice Roofing (Brightstar) and Infinity Home Services (FS+LightBay) when: Your business is residential-retail focused with strong sales motion and consumer-finance penetration. Best Choice is national residential; Infinity has 26 home-services portfolio brands. Emphasize: residential retail dominance, financing penetration, marketing process, brand recognition. Multiple range: 4-6x EBITDA.

Position for commercial consolidators (Tecta America, CentiMark) when: Your business is 60%+ commercial flat-roof with single-ply expertise (TPO, EPDM, PVC), manufacturer commercial credentials (Carlisle, Firestone, Johns Manville), and 5+ year service contract portfolio. Emphasize: contracted recurring revenue, commercial GC relationships in Portland metro, service-portfolio depth. Multiple range: 5-7x EBITDA, occasionally higher.

Position for Bend / Central Oregon dry-side specialists when: Your business is Bend-area focused with metal, tile, fire-resistant capability, second-home and affluent-residential expertise. Buyers underwrite Central Oregon as a distinct market because the climate dynamics differ from Willamette Valley. Emphasize: dry-side material expertise, fire-code knowledge, multi-county Deschutes / Crook / Jefferson footprint, affluent-residential portfolio. Multiple range: 4.5-6.5x EBITDA.

Position for institutional family offices and independent sponsors when: You want partial liquidity with continuing equity (rollover 20-40%), management continuity, less invasive diligence than institutional PE. Emphasize: management depth, recurring-revenue base, growth thesis, willingness to grow under new capital. Multiple range: 5-7x EBITDA with rollover. Often the best fit for owners aged 50-60 who want liquidity but aren’t done working.

Position for PNW strategic regional operators when: Your business has tangible synergies with a known Pacific Northwest regional operator — complementary geography (Portland shop adding Salem, Eugene adding Bend), complementary service mix (residential adding commercial), shared customer base, or shared crew capacity. Strategic synergy buyers in Oregon can pay above PE platform multiples when the synergy is real and quantified. Identify likely strategic buyers in your buy-side outreach process and emphasize the synergy story.

Conclusion

Oregon roofing valuation is real, structurally premium, and tier-specific. Residential retail re-roof shops without recurring revenue are 3-5.5x EBITDA businesses. Residential retail with documented moss-treatment recurring revenue are 4-6.5x EBITDA businesses (the PNW differentiator). Commercial flat-roof and service shops are 4.5-7x EBITDA businesses. Multi-metro PNW platforms with $2M+ EBITDA are 6.5-8x EBITDA platforms. Knowing which tier you fit, executing the CCB RMI transition 12-18 months ahead, building moss-treatment recurring revenue documentation, securing manufacturer-elite credentials, maintaining clean Portland city licensing, and matching to the right Oregon-active or Pacific Northwest-active buyer is the difference between an exit at the high end of your tier’s range and an exit at the bottom (or no exit at all). Oregon’s 9.9% top tax plus Portland metro layered local taxes is real friction, but the no-sales-tax offset and the structural recurring-revenue premium meaningfully compensate. Owners who do the 18-24 month prep work and target the right buyers see 30-50% better after-tax outcomes than those who go to market unprepared. Use the free calculator above for a starting-point range, and if you want to talk to someone who already knows the Oregon and Pacific Northwest roofing buyers personally instead of running an auction to find them, we’re a buy-side partner — the buyers pay us, not you, no contract required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What multiples do Oregon roofing businesses sell for in 2026?

Oregon roofing multiples by tier: residential retail re-roof without recurring 3-5.5x EBITDA; residential with moss-treatment recurring revenue 4-6.5x EBITDA; commercial flat-roof and service 4.5-7x EBITDA; multi-metro PNW platforms with $2M+ EBITDA 6.5-8x EBITDA. PNW recurring-demand stability (15-25 year shingle cycle plus moss-maintenance recurring) supports higher multiples than tornado-belt comparison states. Single biggest determinant: documented recurring-revenue percentage.

How does Oregon CCB licensing transfer at sale?

The CCB license is held by the entity but requires a Responsible Managing Individual (RMI) who completes 16-hour pre-license training and passes the NASCLA Oregon-version exam. If the seller is the RMI and exits at close, the entity loses its license unless an alternate RMI is in place. Three transfer paths: (1) seller stays 12-24 months as RMI post-close; (2) buyer’s existing OR-licensed RMI transfers in (PE platforms only); (3) buyer recruits new RMI before close (60-180 day delay). Best practice: promote a non-owner project manager to RMI 12-18 months pre-sale, transfer status before going to market.

How do Oregon’s 9.9% top tax and no sales tax affect my exit?

Oregon has a graduated state income tax (4.75-9.9%) with capital gains taxed at the same ordinary rates. On a $5M roofing exit by a high-earner, Oregon state tax is ~9.9% — meaningfully more than Texas (0%) or Florida (0%) but comparable to California (12.3-13.3%). Portland metro adds Multnomah PFA (1.5-3%) and Metro SHS (1%) layered taxes. The no-sales-tax offset (one of only 5 states) saves on inventory and equipment over time but doesn’t neutralize the income tax burden. Net: Oregon is high-tax for capital gains, especially in Portland metro.

Why does the moss / moisture cycle matter for valuation?

Pacific Northwest moss and moisture shorten asphalt shingle life from 25-30 years (dry climate) to 15-25 years (Oregon), creating a faster, steadier replacement cycle. This supports a recurring-revenue service line: annual moss treatment, roof cleaning, and maintenance contracts that trade at 5-7x EBITDA versus 3-4.5x SDE for episodic re-roof. Roofers who build documented recurring moss revenue capture meaningfully higher multiples than competitors with purely episodic re-roof revenue.

Who are the active 2026 PE buyers for Oregon roofing businesses?

Vertex Service Partners (Alpine Investors, residential), Best Choice Roofing (Brightstar Capital, residential national), Aligned Exteriors Group (River Sea Capital, residential exterior), Tecta America (Altas Partners, commercial), Infinity Home Services (Freeman Spogli + LightBay, multi-platform), Skyline Industries (Imperial), TopBuild (NYSE: BLD, public commercial strategic post-Progressive acquisition). Plus 8-15 regional independent sponsors and family offices with explicit Pacific Northwest roofing theses.

Should I move to Bend before selling if I live in Portland?

Possibly. Multnomah County PFA (1.5-3%) and Metro SHS (1%) layered local income taxes can add 2.5-4% to a Portland resident’s effective rate on a roofing exit. A 12-24 month Bend (Deschutes County) relocation pre-sale eliminates these. On a $5M gain, savings are $125-200K. Relocation must be genuine: change of residence, voter registration, driver’s license, primary banking, family domicile. Don’t plan a sham; do plan a real one if it fits your life. Discuss with tax counsel.

How do I document moss-treatment recurring revenue in my CIM?

Buyers want clear separation: residential retail re-roof (homeowner-pay, episodic) vs. residential moss / cleaning / maintenance (recurring contracts, renewable, route-density). Document for each: customer count, average annual revenue per customer, contract renewal rate, average customer lifetime, route density (jobs per crew per day), and gross margin. Recurring-revenue customers with 80%+ renewal rates and documented multi-year history support 5-7x EBITDA pricing — meaningfully higher than the 3-4.5x SDE typical for episodic-only roofers.

What are Oregon CCB endorsements and how do they affect valuation?

CCB licenses are held under endorsements: Residential General Contractor, Residential Specialty Contractor (covers roofing-only), Commercial General Contractor, Commercial Specialty Contractor. Each endorsement has its own bond ($10K-$80K), insurance ($100K-$2M liability), and exam pathway. Roofers with both residential and commercial endorsements have broader operational reach and command premium multiples versus single-endorsement roofers. Buyers will verify all endorsements current and bonds in good standing.

What about the City of Portland contractor licensing layer?

Beyond CCB, the City of Portland requires its own contractor license for any work in city limits. Portland Permitting & Development administers the layer. Buyers will verify city of Portland license status and trailing-24-month permit pull history for any business operating in the city. Roofers without clean Portland-specific permit records face diligence questions and 10-20% multiple compression. Audit and clean up 12-18 months pre-sale.

How long does selling an Oregon roofing business take?

5-9 months typical from prep-complete to close. Buy-side matched intros to Oregon-active or Pacific Northwest-active consolidators close in 60-120 days. Generic broker auctions run 9-15 months with material retrade risk in diligence. Add 12-24 months on the front for proper preparation if RMI transition, recurring-revenue documentation, manufacturer credentialing, and operational metrics aren’t already buyer-ready.

What if my Oregon roofing business is purely residential retail with no recurring?

Pure residential retail (no moss-treatment, no commercial service contracts) trades at 3-5.5x EBITDA in Oregon — respectable but missing the 1-2x premium for documented recurring revenue. Three options: (1) build recurring revenue 12-24 months pre-sale (moss-treatment contracts, maintenance agreements, gutter); (2) market to residential retail-focused platforms (Best Choice, Skyline) who underwrite retail roofing without recurring premium; (3) accept the lower multiple band. The first option captures the most value if you have time.

What working capital should I expect to leave at close?

Oregon roofing working capital includes accounts receivable (insurance claims, GC progress billing, retail customer balances), accounts payable (material distributors, subcontractors), inventory (typically modest for residential roofers, larger for commercial), and accruals (warranty reserve, payroll). On a $2M EBITDA Oregon roofing deal, working capital target is typically $150-450K. Negotiate the working capital target during the LOI, not at close — this is a $50-200K item.

How is CT Acquisitions different from a sell-side broker or M&A advisor for Oregon roofers?

We’re a buy-side partner, not a sell-side broker. Sell-side brokers represent you, charge you 6-12% of the deal (often $200K-$800K) plus monthly retainers, run a 9-15 month auction, and require 12-month exclusivity plus tail fee. We work directly with 76+ buyers — including Oregon and Pacific Northwest-active PE consolidators (Vertex via Alpine, Aligned via River Sea, Best Choice via Brightstar, Tecta via Altas, Infinity via Freeman Spogli + LightBay, Skyline via Imperial), commercial platforms, family offices with PNW home services theses, and SBA-financed individuals — who pay us when a deal closes. You pay nothing. No retainer, no exclusivity, no contract until a buyer is at the closing table. We move faster (60-120 days from intro to close at the right tier) because we already know which Oregon-active buyer fits your specific profile rather than running an auction to find one. For Oregon specifically, we know who underwrites moss-recurring revenue, who pays for CCB clean history and Portland metro density, and who values Bend dry-side specialty — the match-quality difference is 0.5-1.5x of multiple.
