Proper ventilation is crucial in our climate to prevent moisture buildup, ice dams, and premature aging of roofing materials. When we install or replace a roof, we design and install a balanced ventilation system—combining intake and exhaust vents—specifically suited for your attic space and roof design. This helps regulate temperature, reduce energy costs, and extend the lifespan of your new roof.

A skylight leak often stems from failed flashing or sealant due to weather exposure. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact failure point. We then carefully remove the compromised materials, install new, corrosion-resistant flashing integrated with your roof's waterproofing layer, and apply high-grade sealants. This precise repair addresses the leak at its source, preventing interior water damage and mold growth.

A repair is often sufficient for isolated issues like a few damaged shingles or a small leak. However, a full replacement or reroofing is recommended when repairs become frequent, the roof is near or past its expected lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), or there is widespread damage or decking rot. In Oregon City's wet climate, delaying a needed replacement can lead to more extensive structural issues. We provide a honest assessment to help you choose the most cost-effective, long-term solution.
