When to Choose a New Roof in the Pacific Northwest
In Greater Portland and Washington’s Pacific Northwest, roofs endure punishing rain, wind, and moss. Elements Roofing, with 17 years of experience, knows “Leaky Roofs Destroy Lives” when old roofs fail. So, when should you opt for a new roof?
Look for these signs: roofs over 20 years old (15 for flat commercial systems) often lose waterproofing. Curling or missing shingles, frequent leaks, or granule loss in gutters signal it’s time. A new roof isn’t just a fix—it’s an upgrade. Modern asphalt shingles or metal roofs, built for PNW wet seasons, improve insulation, cutting energy bills by up to 15% (2025 data). They also lift home value by 10-15%, per Portland real estate trends. Proper ventilation during installation prevents mold, a PNW plague.
Timing it right saves money and stress. Ready to explore a new roof? Call 503-699-6905—Elements Roofing has your PNW solution!
