Seamless gutters and guards on a 1928 craftsman. Scheduling ran a week longer than promised because of the storm rush, but the work itself is excellent. The downspouts finally drain away from the foundation.

Gutters & guards: materials and method
Seamless aluminum gutters run on site to the inch, oversized downspouts, and guards that shed fir needles and bigleaf-maple seeds instead of holding them. Around Portland, undersized or sagging gutters put water against the foundation, behind the fascia, and, in a November downpour, over the front lip and onto the porch.
We run seamless .032 aluminum gutters on site, out of the truck, cut to the exact length of each run so there are no seams to open up. Hidden hangers go every 24 inches, screwed through the gutter into the fascia, not spiked. Where the roof area calls for it we upsize to six-inch gutters and three-by-four downspouts, which move nearly twice the water of builder-grade two-by-three and don't clog on a single wet leaf. Pitch is set with a level, a quarter inch per ten feet toward the downspout, and every outlet gets a splash block or extension so the water lands away from the house.
Guards are optional. We install a micro-mesh guard that sheds fir needles and bigleaf-maple seeds, the two things that clog gutters in this area, rather than foam or brush inserts that hold debris in place. Gutters can be done with a roof replacement, where the drip edge and gutter apron get integrated properly, or as a stand-alone job in a day. Twenty-plus factory colors.
From our Google reviews
The January wind storm took shingles off half the street's roofs. Ridgeline had a tarp on ours that same evening, met our adjuster the following week and walked him through every lifted tab they'd flagged. Claim approved for a full replacement. Crew finished in a day and a half and ran the magnet over the lawn twice.

What we do, and roughly what it costs
These are starting points so you know before you call. Every job gets a written, itemized quote that is good for 30 days, and the quote is what you pay.
Roof replacement
Old shingles off to bare decking, any soft sheathing replaced, then ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, a ridge vent, and architectural shingles. Most houses are done in a day and never left open overnight.
Most jobs run from $9,800.
Roof repair
Chimney and pipe-boot flashing, wind-lifted shingles, nail pops, valley leaks, and moss on the shaded north slopes. We find the leak from the attic up, fix what is actually failing, and tell you honestly whether the roof has years left.
Most jobs run from $450.
Storm & wind damage
Wind storms, fallen firs, a winter rain that finds an old leak. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and handle the supplement paperwork so the carrier pays for what it owes you.
Deductible only w/ approved claim.
Gutters & guards
Seamless aluminum gutters run on site to the inch, oversized downspouts, and guards that shed fir needles and bigleaf-maple seeds instead of holding them.
Most jobs run from $1,650.
Siding
Vinyl and fiber-cement siding, with the house wrapped and every window flashed in the right order. Done with the roof or on its own. Trim, soffit, and fascia are in the quote.
Skylights
We replace skylights that leak and add new ones. Deck-mounted, curb-mounted, and solar-venting units, flashed with the manufacturer's kit, which is the part that keeps them dry.
Most jobs run from $1,900 installed.
Emergency tarping
Any hour, any weather. We dry in the damage the same night, and the cost of the tarp comes off the repair or the replacement.
Most jobs run from $350 · 24/7.
Roof inspections
A walk of the roof and the attic with a photo report you can read on your phone. Before a sale, after a storm, or after a leak.
Free.
Financing is available on approved credit through our lending partner: 0% for 18 months · as low as $189/mo. The application takes about five minutes, checking does not touch your credit score, and the first payment is not due until the roof is on. Ask on the form and we will send the link.
We meet your adjuster on the roof
Wind, a downed fir, a limb through the deck. If a storm did it, your homeowner's policy probably covers it. We document the damage, write the estimate in the same line-item format the carrier uses, and stand on the roof with the adjuster so nothing gets missed.
You pay your deductible and nothing else. We do not inflate claims, and if the damage is not worth filing we will say so.
How a claim goes
- You call, and we tarp itEmergency dry-in within 24 hours so the damage stops growing while the claim moves.
- We inspect and photograph everythingEvery lifted tab flagged, every creased shingle photographed, every slope marked the way adjusters expect.
- We meet the adjuster on siteWe walk the damage together and answer the questions on the roof, not over the phone.
- The roof is replaced, and you pay the deductibleCode-required items like ice-and-water shield and drip edge get supplemented. We handle the paperwork.
How we do a roof
Most of what goes wrong with a roof in Portland goes wrong at the edges: the eaves, the valleys, the chimney, the pipes. So that is where we spend the money. Ice-and-water shield runs six feet up every eave and the full length of every valley on every roof we build, not as an upgrade. Drip edge goes on every eave and rake. Ridge vents get cut in. The shingles are architectural, rated for 130-mile winds and resistant to the algae that blackens a shaded north slope here.
We put plywood under the dumpster and tarps over the beds, and we run the magnet over the lawn and driveway twice before we leave. The quote is itemized line by line and good for 30 days. If we open the roof and find decking that has to go, you get a photo and a per-sheet price before we touch it.

Leak around the chimney every time it rained sideways. Two other companies quoted a new roof. Tom got up there, found the step flashing had been caulked over instead of woven in, and fixed it properly for a few hundred bucks. That's honesty you don't forget.
Mike T.
Milwaukie, OR
Two new skylights and a ridge vent. They explained why the old ones leaked (installed with no flashing kit, just tar) and the attic is 15 degrees cooler in July. Clean, on time, and the invoice matched the quote to the dollar.

Frank D.
Gresham, OR
Full replacement, architectural shingles. Their quote actually itemized ice-and-water shield and drip edge, which the cheaper quote left off completely. Still came in $1,400 under the third bid. Foreman stayed until the last nail was picked up.
Lauren M.
Lake Oswego, OR
Fir limb through the roof at 9pm on a Sunday. Called the number, a person picked up, two guys had it tarped by 11. Insurance covered the whole thing and they handled the paperwork. Can't ask for more.

Questions people ask us
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most homes in our area are one day: tear-off in the morning, dried-in by noon, shingled by late afternoon. Larger or steeper roofs, or ones with rotten decking, run two days. We never leave a roof open overnight.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and chalk-marked test squares, write the estimate in the line-item format adjusters use, and meet the adjuster on site. If a supplement is needed for code items like ice-and-water shield or drip edge, we file it. On an approved claim you pay your deductible and nothing else.
What is ice-and-water shield, and do I need it?
A self-sealing rubberized membrane that goes under the shingles at the eaves, in the valleys, and around chimneys and pipes. It stops wind-driven rain and backed-up water at the eaves and in the valleys, which is what shows up as a ceiling stain in the middle of a February downpour. Code only requires it where ice forms along the eaves; we run it six feet up and in every valley on every roof anyway, because a valley full of fir needles in a November storm is the same problem.
Can you repair it instead of replacing the whole roof?
Often, yes. If the shingles have life left and the leak is a flashing or pipe-boot problem, a repair is the right call and we'll say so. If the roof is at the end of its life, patching it is throwing money away and we'll say that too. Either way you get it in writing.
What warranty do I get?
Two. A manufacturer-backed limited lifetime warranty on the shingle system (we install complete systems from a single manufacturer, so their enhanced coverage applies), and our own 10-year workmanship warranty on the installation. Both are transferable once if you sell the house.
Do you pull permits?
Every replacement, every time. We file with the city or county, schedule the final inspection, and the permit fee is a line in the quote. Small repairs under the permit threshold don't need one, and we'll tell you which is which.

Tell us what you are seeing and send a photo if you have one: the ceiling stain, the shingles in the yard, the tree on the roof. A roofer texts you back within 15 minutes during business hours, and we come out, walk the roof and the attic, and leave you a photo report and a written price. No charge, no obligation, and a straight answer on whether an insurance claim is worth filing.
