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. However, some homeowners who have regular roof maintenance performed still experience gutter problems like the one shown below.
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.

Last week I decided to follow our Roof Replacement Production Manager, Daniel White, on his route for a couple of days. One of the most common problems we found were stains on homeowners siding. Unbeknown to me, these presumed siding or paint issues were actually a result of gutter problems.
Daniel and I produced this video to show you how the original roof installation roofing contractor skimped on the details, which has led to annoying water stains on this home.

Home inspectors check all aspects of your home, while they are useful, you are not always guaranteed an expert in all aspects of the home. A large percentage of home inspectors will never walk your roof.
We offer REAL ESTATE inspections for pending home or property sales. This is a very thorough and professional statement of the condition of a roof. Since the inspection is made with no expectation of future maintenance business, we cannot offer them free of charge. Please contact us for pricing information.
If your roof needs a check up or you have questions, call us.

Its late fall to early winter in Portland and homeowners are wondering what they can do to make sure there roof is in good shape. Most important is to get the junk off of it. The tree debris will cause water retention and it’s not good for your roof. Debris buildup creates diversions of water; causing unexpected leaks. The gutters need to be cleaned and free flowing now that the leaves are down. While that’s being done, an inspection can be made to see if all is well as far as functionality goes. Most of the walls, pipes, vents, and chimneys protruding through your roof need to be checked after a weather year like we just had. High heat, high winds and extreme cold. Man, what state do we live again?
Sincerely, Patrick D. Morin

I got a new online video made for Roof Life of Oregon. It will soon replace the video on the home page, but here’s a sneak peak! I did a new video for 1st Oregon Exteriors at the same time. You can have a look at it on our Portland exterior remodeling blog.
I think it came out well. I hope it gives you a feel for my passion about roofing in Portland!
What do you think? Are you ready to let us look at your roof?

How does Roof Life of Oregon offer a lifetime warranty on gutters? Aren’t all rain gutters the same? What makes a gutter system by Roof Life so good?
The trick is to put together quality gutter components that complement each other and then work to together to outperform the competition.
We gently remove your old, worn out gutters to well-placed ground tarps. This eliminates any possible mess to your yard. We break down your old gutters and recycle them. We then start fresh with the best metal or aluminum we can find. We have it pre-painted or primed at the factory. We form it to your desired style on site, using cutting edge metal fabrication machines. Next, we precisely measure each cut to best fit your home. We back caulk every joint with an elastic gutter compound that’s watertight. This creates a perfect seamless gutter system.
We then install the gutters using a hidden clip system and a stainless steel type S 2-inch screw. It has a very aggressive bite and will hold the gutter firmly in place. Metal will expand and contract, pulling and pushing most gutter attachments past their ability to hold. Our design will allow the gutter to move and never stress our attachment. The net result is a lifetime perfect fit and performance for you to enjoy.
In addition to the performance of our hidden clip system, our gutters also offers to you an unmatched profile. A smooth long seamless profile to enhance the exterior of your home.
How about a downspout that resists clogging up? It is so frustrating to have downspouts that do not work. Your Roof Life gutter system features downspouts with fewer metal screws protruding into the spout. This results in a cleaner flow for the rain water and any debris washing down. It also makes them easier to clean.
Rain Gutters have come a long way since yours were installed. Give us a call at 503-925-0125 or fill out our form for a free gutter inspection and replacement estimate today!
