RA Roth Construction & Son

What RA Roth Construction & Son does

R.A. Roth Construction & Son, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service civil construction and trucking company headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded in 1984 by Ron Roth. The company serves general contractors and property owners across Oregon and SW Washington under Oregon CCB# 153719 and Washington registration RAROTRC9340Q, operating an owned fleet of 25+ trucks, trailers, and tractors (including 20+ dump trucks in multiple configurations) alongside heavy equipment and topsoil screening plants. Service lines span commercial and residential excavation (site preparation, grading, road construction, demolition, utility excavation and backfill), haul-for-hire trucking, equipment transport, topsoil screening and vending, custom fabrication (dump truck boxes, flat beds, hitches, attachments), and heavy equipment alteration and truck repair.

The business is run as an integrated one-stop shop for contractors rather than a modular platform: customers engage via quote-driven direct sales through phone and email, and the company emphasizes end-to-end coordination across its own and partner projects. The leadership team is multi-generational within the Roth family — Ron Roth as Founder and President, with Taylor Roth (Director Project Management) and Alex Roth (Director of Operations) in director seats — supplemented by a tenured bench including a Director of Fleet Management, shop and fabrication foremen, a trucking dispatcher, and an assistant fleet/driver manager. Underlying technology is conventional construction and trucking operations with no disclosed AI, software platform, or proprietary systems; competitive differentiation rests on fleet ownership, service bundling, and 40+ years of regional contractor relationships rather than technology. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and revenue is not reported in the source material.

Direct peers

• Rotschy Inc. Yacolt, WA-based site work contractor serving the Pacific Northwest with excavation, grading, and utility services. Closely comparable in regional footprint, service mix, and customer profile to RA Roth's excavation and site prep business.
• Tapani Inc. Pacific Northwest site preparation, excavation, and underground utilities contractor headquartered in Battle Ground, WA. Highly comparable to RA Roth in scope (excavation, utilities, site prep) and regional focus across Oregon and SW Washington.
• Emery & Sons Construction: Tigard, OR-based site preparation, excavation, and underground utility contractor serving the Oregon market. Comparable mid-sized PNW competitor offering overlapping excavation, grading, and utility services to general contractors and developers.
• Goodfellow Bros. Construction: Pacific Northwest heavy civil and site development contractor with operations across Oregon and Washington. Comparable in PNW site prep, earthwork, and infrastructure project execution, though larger in scale than RA Roth.

Broad incumbents

• Granite Construction Incorporated: Large diversified heavy civil contractor with substantial Pacific Northwest presence in transportation, water resources, and site development. Comparable in excavation/site prep capability but competes primarily on larger infrastructure projects outside RA Roth's typical scope.
• Sterling Infrastructure: National infrastructure services provider with operations in heavy civil, transportation, and building services. Comparable in site preparation and infrastructure construction capabilities, though with significantly broader geographic and service scope than RA Roth.
• Knife River Corporation: National heavy civil construction and construction materials provider with significant Pacific Northwest operations. Comparable in core construction contracting and materials supply but operates at much greater scale and geographic breadth than RA Roth.

Others

• Werner Enterprises: Large national truckload carrier. While far larger and asset-heavy in pure trucking, Werner is an adjacent comparable for the trucking/hauling portion of RA Roth's haul-for-hire business and illustrates scale economics in fleet-based services.
