Q&A
Why is flat membrane roofing a good choice for homes in Florence?
The persistent moisture, wind, and salt air on the Oregon Coast demand a seamless, watertight roofing solution. Our flat membrane roofing systems are specifically engineered to resist these elements, providing superior protection against leaks and moisture intrusion that can plague traditional shingle roofs in our local climate. It's a durable, long-lasting choice proven on the coast since 1964.
My roof ridge caps are damaged from wind. Can you repair this common Florence issue?
Absolutely. Wind-driven damage to ridge caps is a frequent problem here due to our exposed coastal location. We assess the extent of the damage to the cap and underlying structure, then perform repairs using materials and techniques designed to better withstand future storms. Properly securing the ridge is critical for preventing water infiltration and maintaining your roof's integrity.
You've worked on many local commercial buildings. Do you also handle residential roofing?
Yes, we serve both residential and commercial clients throughout Florence. Our experience with larger projects like the school district or True Value means we bring a high level of precision and project management to every job, whether it's a family home or a business. The same commitment to quality and understanding of coastal weather applies to all our work.
