Roofing in Vancouver, WA
Roofing for Vancouver homes, from Builders Service Company.
Two weather patterns shape roofing decisions in this part of the Portland metro area: Columbia Gorge east winds and winter ice storms. A replacement roof should be detailed with both in mind, so we pay close attention to underlayment, flashing at walls and roof penetrations, and attic ventilation on every job.
We offer two main roofing systems and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing, installed as a complete system with new underlayment, flashing and ventilation.
- EDCO metal roofing, for owners who prefer a metal roof.
The right choice depends on your roof’s pitch, its current condition and your goals for the house, and we go through both options with you at the consultation. Wildfire risk is rated Low here, at the 44th percentile statewide, so either system fits.
Many Vancouver houses date from the 1980s and 1990s, and roofs on homes of that age may carry more than one layer of shingles. We check how many layers are on the roof and the condition of the decking beneath before recommending a full tear-off or other approach. Mobile homes make up about 2% of local housing; many of them have low-slope roofs that call for a different installation than a standard pitched roof.
Not every roof needs replacing. We also handle repairs for leaks, wear and storm damage, and we tell you honestly when a repair will do. Every installation gets proper sealing and ventilation, with no shortcuts. Read more about Vancouver home exterior services.

Vancouver roofing FAQ
Should I choose asphalt shingles or EDCO metal roofing?
Both are good choices, and we give them equal weight. Asphalt shingle roofing is installed as a complete system with underlayment, flashing and ventilation; EDCO metal roofing is our metal option. Which one fits depends on your roof's pitch, condition and your plans for the house, so we inspect the roof and go through both at the consultation. Financing is available for either system.
What does Vancouver's weather mean for a new roof?
Columbia Gorge east winds and winter ice storms are the conditions to plan around. That is why we pay close attention to underlayment, flashing at walls and roof penetrations, and attic ventilation on every job. Wildfire risk is rated Low, at the 44th percentile statewide, so both asphalt shingle and EDCO metal roofing fit. We check your roof's layers and decking at the free consultation.
