Take Our Quiz

Do you live in the mountains?

• Metal roofing in Oregon can help with snow, ice, and wind management that is commonly experienced in mountain regions.

Does your home often get a foot or more of snow?

• Due to its strong internal structure and coating, metal roofing can help shed snow (and all that weight) off of your home more efficiently than asphalt shingles. If you are concerned about damage from sheets of snow sliding off your roof too quickly, there are add-on options that can also be installed to protect your surrounding building and property – just ask your estimator about options.

Do you live on the coast?

• Good news – metal roofing can protect coastal homes from excess moisture and damage from high winds that are usually experienced in the winter months.  

Are you likely to continue living in your current home long-term, such as 10-years or more?

• If so, metal roofing in Oregon can last 40 to 50 years or more when maintained properly, so this could be the only roof you ever install on your home while you live there.

Is your local area susceptible to fire danger, such as wildfires or brushfires?

• If so, metal roofing could be the best option for your home. Metal roofing is the most fire resistant material available in the roofing industry and can be crucial to protecting what you love when sparks are flying in wildfire season

Do you live in a more rainy region of Oregon? (For example, receiving 50 or more inches of precipitation a year)

• If you experience a lot of rain in your area, metal roofing in Oregon can help to seal out moisture and prevent leaks.

Are you comfortable investing more into your roof project?

• While it comes with a multitude of benefits, metal roofing also requires more of an upfront investment, though it can pay dividends over the long term. For example, less maintenance, more weather resistant, highly durable, and long lasting quality.
