Does Your Vancouver, Washington Home Have A Roof Leak?

Rain is far from rare in Vancouver, which means that leaks are a bigger issue here than places with drier climates. Water damage spreads quickly here, and by the time you notice a leak, water has probably already begun to seep through the structure of your home. If you spot any water damage, 1-800-Roofcare can help you prevent further issues.  If left unchecked, water can do many thousands of dollars in damage to the interior of your home. The best way to prevent these costs is to have your roof repaired as quickly as possible by licensed roofing professionals at 1-800-Roofcare.

Why should I turn to 1-800-Roofcare for repair and maintenance?

1-800-Roofcare is a national leader in the roofing industry. We are an association of independently-owned roofing companies with affiliates across the nation, including Vancouver. Our members provide the full range of roof-related services including:

• Regular Maintenance. 1-800-Roofcare recommends that our clients have a professional contractor come out to perform routine maintenance on their roofs at least twice a year. During these visits, our skilled roofing technicians will examine your roof for possible problems, allowing you to resolve them before your home suffers another leak.
• Roof Cleaning. Roofs have a tendency to collect debris, especially that which is shed by nearby trees. This debris causes a number of problems. Many trees produce chemicals that can leach out onto a roof and speed up its deterioration. Burrowing insects may spread from branches to your roof, leaving havoc in their wake. The weight of large piles of debris can even put so much pressure on a roof that it begins to buckle.
• Damage Inspections. Despite our best efforts, accidents happen. Windstorms can blow large branches straight through a roof. Squirrels seeking winter shelter can chew through shingles to find the attic below. Neighborhood baseball games can crack tiles and dent metal. 1-800-Roofcare can come to your home, take a look at your roof, and provide you with an estimate of what the repair costs are going to be. Even better, we are currently offering free repair quotes to interested Vancouver customers.
• Roof Repair/ We specialize in all forms of roof repair. Our affiliates can tackle anything from a loose shingle to a large hole and everything in between.
• Roof Re-Covering. Sometimes, a roof can no longer be repaired due to age, condition, or severity of the damage. Depending on what roofing material is present on your home, you may be able to simply recover the entire roof without having to remove the existing roof. Doing so can significantly reduce repair time and cost when possible. There are practical and legal limits as to how many times a roof may be recovered, so it is important to know whether this procedure has been performed on your home in the past.
• Roof Replacement. If re-covering is not an option for you, then your only choice will be a full roof replacement. Replacement requires that all existing roofing materials be removed and new ones installed. Essentially all roofs will eventually need to be replaced. Roofs are directly exposed to the elements in a way that no other part of our homes are. The combined forces of the sun, wind, and heavy regional participation eventually win the battle against the roof, which deteriorates slowly over time. Due to the wet conditions, the life span of a roof in Vancouver is generally reduced, though it can be extended with regular maintenance. The amount of time that a roof should last will vary depending on a number of factors, but none are more important than the roofing material.

How long do various roofing materials last?

The exact usable life of roofing materials will vary from producer to producer and specific material to specific material, but there are some general rules that can give you a good idea.

• Asphalt Shingles - 20 to 40 years
• Architectural Shingles - Up to 50 years
• Wooden Shingles - 30 to 50 years
• Metal Roofing - 20 to 50 years
• Concrete, Clay, and Ceramic Tiles - Up to 100 years
• Stone Tiles -100 years or more
