Ortiz Framing Construction | Roofing Services in Vancouver, WA 98661

Those black streaks are actually a type of algae (Gloeocapsa magma) that thrives in our damp, humid Pacific Northwest climate. It feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles. While not always structurally damaging, it's unsightly and can retain moisture. Yes, we can help! Ortiz Framing provides professional roof cleaning using safe, effective methods to remove the algae and can apply zinc or copper strip treatments during a roof replacement to prevent it from coming back.

Intermittent leaks are common here because water can travel along roof sheathing or framing before dripping down, making the interior water spot far from the actual entry point. Our experienced team at Ortiz Framing starts with a thorough inspection in your attic during dry weather, looking for water stains, mold, or compromised wood. We then examine the roof exterior for compromised flashing around chimneys/vents, damaged shingles, or clogged valleys—common culprits in our area. We pinpoint the exact source to ensure our repair is permanent, not just a patch.

As a full-service general contractor serving Vancouver homeowners, we handle the entire project. We start by making emergency tarping repairs to stop water intrusion, then permanently fix the roof. Our team also manages the interior restoration, which may include drywall repair, insulation replacement, painting, and addressing any mold mitigation needs. This comprehensive approach saves you the hassle of coordinating multiple trades and ensures the job is done correctly from the structure to the finish.
