Fastest roofer in the west

By Emma Peterson. 

On June 13, 2025, Roofline held their annual Fastest Roofer competition! 

This year, some of The Coffee Shops™ crew got the chance to visit Roofline Supply and Delivery’s Bend, Oregon facility to see the 2025 Fastest Roofer competition firsthand! The competition, which kicked off at 7:00 a.m. on June 13, 2025, is a great opportunity for local contractors and professionals to come together for some friendly competition.  

Amy Cashman, territory manager for Roofline Supply in Bend, shared, “We like to feature all of our local roofers here in Central Oregon, invite them onto our property and feature a contest to show off their skills. We also invite all of our manufacturers so that they can get some face time with the installers and the owners of many of the installers here in Central Oregon. It's our way of demonstrating our appreciation for their support here at Roofline.” 

One of our crew members, Alex Tolle, shared a bit about attending, saying, “It was really interesting. I've seen a lot of shingle competitions at different trade shows and they usually just put the shingles on and then they’re done. But for this one, they had to put it on, tear it off and clean it all up.” Each roofer works differently, some install four nails for a shingle while others might use six, so in having the tear off and cleanup as part of the competition they’re taking off their own work and getting the mockup prepped for the next competitor. And the competition mimics the whole process of working on an actual reroofing job that requires tear off, install and clean up – just at a faster speed! Some roofers will use four nails for a shingle some will use six so if someone's following a roofer that uses six nails per shingle having to tear that off that's not that's not very fair so we make sure that whoever's installing whatever the protocol is they've got to come in behind themselves and tear that roof off and clean it off for the next installer   

As for the rest of the event, which featured 26 different vendors and catering by El Sancho, it was full of fun and community. The Coffee Shops shared a booth with National Women In Roofing and we spotted some of our other friends there, like Gibraltar Building Accessories, RoofHub, Brava Roof Tile, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Malarkey Roofing Products, FlashCo and GAF! Alex added, “I grew up in Central Oregon, so it was cool to support my local roofing community.”   

And at the end of the day, there were three roofers who came out on top and won some cash prizes. Kevin from Next Level Roofing took first place, with Stan, also of Next Level Roofing, and Jose, from Ortiz Precise Roofing, taking second and third respectively!
