What We Do

Our Roofing Services

Your roof is the first line of defense between your home and the Oregon Coast's relentless weather. When it fails, everything underneath is at risk - insulation, framing, drywall, electrical. We handle roofing projects from straightforward repairs to complete tear-off-and-replace jobs, and we approach every one with the same goal: make sure the roof does its job for decades, not just until the next big storm.

Complete reroof. When a roof has reached the end of its useful life - curling shingles, granule loss, multiple leak points, or age beyond 20 years - a full replacement is the right call. We strip the old material down to the decking, inspect and repair the sheathing, install proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield in critical areas, and lay new roofing material rated for coastal wind and moisture exposure.

Leak repair. Not every roof problem requires a full replacement. A single failed pipe boot, damaged flashing around a chimney, or a section of wind-lifted shingles can often be repaired without touching the rest of the roof. We trace the leak to its source - which is rarely directly above the stain on your ceiling - and fix the actual point of failure.

Storm damage repair. Pacific storms regularly push 60-70 mph winds across Lincoln County. That wind tears off ridge caps, lifts shingle tabs, drives rain underneath flashing, and sends tree limbs into roofing material. We assess the full extent of storm damage, document what's needed for insurance claims, and make repairs that restore the roof's integrity.

Moss and debris removal. Moss is more than a cosmetic problem on the Oregon Coast. It holds moisture against shingles, accelerates granule loss, and works its way under edges to create paths for water infiltration. We remove moss safely - never with high-pressure washing that damages shingles - and treat surfaces to slow regrowth. We also clear accumulated needles, leaves, and debris from valleys and gutters where trapped moisture causes the most damage.

Flashing repair and replacement. Flashing around chimneys, skylights, dormers, and wall-to-roof transitions is where most roof leaks start. Metal corrodes, sealant fails, and the relentless expansion and contraction from coastal temperature swings opens gaps. We replace deteriorated flashing with properly stepped and counter-flashed materials that keep water out of the most vulnerable joints on your roof.

Ventilation assessment and improvement. Poor attic ventilation traps moisture, promotes mold growth on sheathing, and shortens roof life dramatically in a climate that already pushes materials to their limits. We evaluate your soffit, ridge, and gable venting and make adjustments to maintain proper airflow - keeping your attic dry and your roof decking sound.

Gutter-related roofing work. Gutters and roofing work together. When gutter systems fail - pulling away from fascia, backing up under drip edges, or overflowing into soffits - the roof edge takes the damage. We address gutter-related roofing problems as part of the overall system, not as isolated fixes that leave the real issue unresolved.

Why Coastal Roofing Is Different

Roofing on the Oregon Coast

Lincoln County averages over 60 inches of rainfall annually - roughly three times the national average. That rain doesn't fall gently. It arrives driven sideways by sustained Pacific winds that routinely exceed 50 mph during winter storms and spike well above 70 mph several times a year. These aren't conditions that most roofing contractors inland ever think about.

The constant moisture creates a secondary problem that's unique to the coastal corridor: persistent moss and algae growth. On inland roofs, moss is an occasional nuisance. On the Oregon Coast, it's an aggressive, year-round force that takes hold on north-facing slopes within a single season and begins degrading shingle integrity within a few years if left unchecked.

Salt-laden air adds another layer of wear that inland homes never face. Metal flashings, fasteners, and vents corrode faster. Sealants break down sooner. Even the adhesive strips on shingle tabs lose their bond more quickly when exposed to salt spray carried miles inland by coastal winds.

These combined factors mean roofs on the Oregon Coast fail faster and in different ways than roofs further from the ocean. Shingles rated for 30 years in the Willamette Valley may show significant wear by year 18 in Newport or Depoe Bay. Flashing that lasts two decades in Portland may corrode through in 12 years in Waldport.

After more than two decades working exclusively in this environment, we know which materials resist these conditions, which fastening methods hold in sustained wind, and where the weak points are on every roof style common to Lincoln County homes. When we spec materials and methods for your roof, we're accounting for what this specific climate will throw at it - not what a manufacturer tested in a lab 2,000 miles from the ocean.

How We Work

Our Roofing Process

Every roofing project follows the same structured process, whether it's a single repair or a full tear-off-and-replace. No shortcuts, no skipped steps.

1. Initial inspection. We get on the roof and look at everything - shingle condition, flashing integrity, ventilation, gutters, and any visible damage. We also check the attic from inside when accessible, looking for water staining, mold on sheathing, and ventilation problems. You get an honest assessment of what we find, not a sales pitch.

2. Assessment and estimate. Based on the inspection, we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. If your roof needs a full replacement, we'll explain why. If a targeted repair will solve the problem, we'll tell you that instead - even though the replacement would be a bigger job for us.

3. Material selection. We help you choose roofing materials based on your budget, your home's style, and the specific exposure your roof faces. A south-facing roof directly exposed to ocean wind has different material needs than a sheltered, tree-covered roof in Toledo. We match the material to the conditions, not to a one-size-fits-all product sheet.

4. Tear-off and prep. For full reroofs, we strip the old material completely - we don't layer new shingles over failing ones. Once the decking is exposed, we inspect every sheet of plywood, replace any that's soft or delaminated, and install proper underlayment with extra protection in valleys, eaves, and around penetrations.

5. Installation. New roofing goes down according to manufacturer specifications and Oregon building code, with the additional attention to wind resistance and moisture management that coastal conditions demand. Flashing is properly stepped, vents are sealed, and every detail is handled to code and then some.

6. Cleanup and final inspection. We don't leave your property until every piece of debris is picked up, every nail is swept with a magnetic roller, and the gutters are cleared. We walk the finished roof, inspect from the ground, and make sure everything meets our standards before we call the job complete.
