PNW Remodeling | General Contractors & Roofing in Gearhart, OR 97138

Our coastal weather is tough on roofs. Constant moisture, salt air, and strong winds can degrade sealants and loosen the metal flashing that seals joints around chimneys, vents, and walls. We fix this by carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface to prevent future corrosion, and installing new, high-quality flashing with durable, waterproof sealants designed for our marine environment.

A leaking valley is a critical issue, as it's where two roof planes meet and channel a lot of water. The repair depends on the extent of the damage. Often, it involves removing the old valley metal or shingles, inspecting the underlying deck for rot, and installing a new, wider valley liner with proper ice and water shield—a crucial step for our wet climate—before re-shingling. We ensure water is effectively shed away from this vulnerable area.

Absolutely. For Gearhart homes, regular, gentle pressure washing (soft washing) of your roof removes moss, algae, and debris that hold moisture against shingles and in valleys. This moisture accelerates wear and can lead to leaks and organic growth that compromises flashing. While it's not a repair, it's a key preventative maintenance step that extends your roof's life and helps us spot potential issues like loose flashing during our inspection.
