Why Vancouver & Portland Homeowners Replace Roofs
Our region's climate is uniquely hard on roofing. Constant wet-dry cycles, moss and lichen growth on north-facing slopes, and moisture that gets trapped under aging composition shingles all shorten roof lifespans below manufacturer averages. If your roof is 20+ years old, has curling shingles, granule loss in the gutters, moss growth, or any interior staining - it's time for an inspection.​
Roofing Materials We Install
-
Asphalt architectural shingles - Best value. 30-50 year manufacturer warranties. Most common choice in Vancouver & Portland.
-
Cedar shake & shingle - Traditional NW aesthetic. Longer lifespan when properly ventilated.
-
Standing seam metal - 50+ year lifespan. Excellent for steep or complex rooflines.
-
Torch-down / low-slope systems - For flat sections, additions, and modern designs.

Roof Replacement FAQ
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most standard asphalt shingle roofs take 2-4 days weather permitting. Cedar and metal roofs typically take longer due to material and detail work.
Do I need to be home during the roof replacement?
No. Once we've walked through the plan and you've signed the proposal, we can complete the work while you're away.
Will insurance cover my roof replacement?
If damage is from a covered event (wind, hail, fallen tree), often yes. We work with adjusters and can document damage for your claim.
How do I know if I need a full replacement vs a repair?
If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage, repair often makes sense. Over 20 years, or with widespread granule loss, curling, or leaks — replacement is usually the right call. Free estimates help you decide.
Can you replace my roof and add solar-ready underlayment?
Yes — we can install a roof designed for future solar with reinforced attachment zones and proper conduit paths.
