Business Profile
Clow Roofing & Siding Co. is a family-owned business that has been a trusted part of the Portland community since 1922. Founded as a manufacturer in Tacoma, WA, the company opened a Portland retail location and was purchased by Luther Wells in 1928. His son Irving later joined, expanding services to include siding. For decades, the Wells family, and later sons-in-laws John Hansen and Dennis Baker, built a reputation on a foundational principle: if a job has workmanship-related issues, Clow will repair it free of charge for the repairable life of the roof. Today, third-generation family members Jeff Hansen and Doug Baker continue this legacy of reliability, with their work visible on countless rooftops across Portland neighborhoods. They combine decades of local experience with high-quality materials and a commitment to standing by their work for both residential and commercial clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Clow Roofing offer a guarantee on their work?
Yes. Since its founding, Clow Roofing & Siding has operated on a core family policy: if any job has problems related to workmanship, they will make the repairs free of charge for the repairable life of the roof. This long-standing commitment, backed by manufacturer warranties, provides Portland homeowners with significant peace of mind.
How does Clow handle common Portland issues like roof leaks and flashing corrosion?
Given Portland's climate, we are very familiar with these issues. For leaks, we conduct thorough inspections to find the exact source, which is often at flashing points, valleys, or around penetrations. For corrosion, we assess the extent of the damage to flashing and other metal components. Our approach is to not just patch the symptom but to address the underlying cause, often recommending repairs or replacement with durable, corrosion-resistant materials suited for our wet environment to prevent recurrence.
Can you handle both a roof and siding replacement project?
Absolutely. As a full-service exterior contractor, we frequently manage combined roofing and siding projects. This allows for seamless coordination, ensuring proper integration between the two systems—like step flashing where the roof meets the wall—which is crucial for preventing water intrusion. Our experience since 1922 in both trades means we can efficiently oversee the entire project, often with cost and scheduling benefits for the homeowner.
