We routinely field calls from prospective clients about their gutters being clogged. Part of the problem is the homeowner isn’t performing regular roof maintenance e.g. having their roof regularly blown, treating the roof, replacing worn materials.

Today, we’ll talk about why this is occurring and what you can do to ensure this doesn’t happen. We have a DIY gutter repair solution anyone can complete to ensure your roofing system is in tip-top shape.

We’ re constantly preaching to our clients the importance of roof ventilation. Energy costs and the degradation of your roof can vary based on your roof ventilation. Some homeowners have a roof ventilation overload and some homeowners have an under-ventilated roof.
Installing a power fan is a great way to add the necessary roof ventilation you need. However, the power fan needs to be installed properly and the photo below is a great example of an incorrect power fan installation.

Each day, I get to see sights the average Oregonian doesn’t get to see and enjoy. From the rooftops, the world appears more at ease and peaceful. It would be selfish of me not to share my views with the rest of the community.
I’ve decided to share my favorites. Each week, I’ll provide my three favorite photos I took during the week. This week’s photos features an old roof before our roof replacement team started working, Patrick in heaven, and a one of a kind looking van:

Many of the blog posts we write feature poor workmanship because we like to point out Roof Life of Oregon offers Portland’s only lifetime workmanship warranty. Today we’re going to look at a roof that from afar looks fine, but up close just doesn’t look right.
