Alvarez Roofing and Construction | Roofing Services in Portland, OR 97236

Portland's wind and rain can loosen or damage ridge caps, the seals along your roof's peak. We perform detailed roof inspections to assess their condition. For repair, we carefully remove damaged caps, replace any compromised underlayment, and install new, high-quality caps sealed to withstand our weather. For a more permanent solution, our roof replacement and reroofing services include reinforced, properly flashed ridge caps as a standard part of a durable new roof system.

Algae stains are common here due to our damp, shaded environments. We use a specialized, low-pressure roof cleaning technique that effectively kills and removes the algae without damaging your shingles, which high-pressure washing can do. This not only restores your roof's appearance but also helps prevent premature granule loss. Following a cleaning, we can discuss preventative measures, like installing zinc strips during your next gutter installation or replacement, to inhibit future growth.

Absolutely. Proper gutter function is key to managing moisture. Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under your roof's edge or spill down your siding, creating the damp conditions algae thrive in. Our gutter cleaning, repair, and replacement services ensure water is channeled away from your home efficiently. For homes without gutters, we can expertly install a system tailored to your roof's pitch and Portland's rainfall, providing a critical first line of defense against moisture-related roof problems.
