Cold east winds out of the Gorge hit east- and north-facing slopes first, lifting rake shingles and folding ridge caps on exposed homes.
For a roof leak, storm damage, or a worn-out roof in Vancouver, WA, call Roof Down Remodels at (360) 803-6405. Our phones are answered 24/7, and for active leaks we aim to have a crew tarp the opening as soon as conditions are safe. Routine repairs and replacement estimates are usually scheduled within a few days, and we explain the problem and the price before any work starts.
Roofing for Vancouver homes, from one-shingle repairs to full tear-offs
Most of the roofs we work on are not new, and most of the problems are not mysteries. A pipe boot cracks after years of sun. A fir limb drops during a windstorm. Moss on the north slope lifts a row of shingles until water slips underneath. We find the actual cause, show you photos from the roof and the attic, and fix that specific problem. If a repair will hold, we say so. If the roof is past saving, we explain why and what a replacement involves, line by line, so the price makes sense before anything is torn off.
The crews at Roof Down Remodels do the work themselves, from small leak repairs and emergency tarps to shake-to-composite conversions and standing seam metal. We work on Craftsman bungalows near downtown, ranches in Hazel Dell, two-story homes in Cascade Park, manufactured homes, shops, and small commercial buildings. Every job ends with a full cleanup and a magnet sweep for nails. We also check gutters, flashing, and attic venting while we are up there, because those three cause a large share of the leaks we see.
Typical prices are in our roofing price guide, and if water is already coming in, the roof leak finder narrows down where it is getting in.

ICInspections and roof care
GSGutters, skylights and roofline
Signs your roof needs attention
Ceiling or wall stains
Brown rings on a ceiling or damp patches at the top of an exterior wall mean water is getting in somewhere above.
Thick moss on shaded slopes
Moss that has grown into cushions along shingle edges is lifting the tabs and holding water against the roof.
Missing or folded shingles
Bare spots, tabs flipped back, or shingle pieces in the yard after a windy night need a look before the next rain.
Granules piling up in gutters
Heavy grit at the downspouts means the shingles are wearing out and losing their protective surface.
Frost or drips in the attic
White frost on nail tips or wet insulation on cold, dry mornings points to a ventilation or moisture problem.
Sagging lines or soft spots
A dip in the roof plane or decking that looks wavy from the street can mean rotted sheathing below.
Got a ceiling stain? Start here
Pick where the water shows up and when it happens. The finder gives the most likely source, a safe thing to check yourself, and the repair that usually fixes it.

Roofing for Vancouver weather, trees and older homes
Vancouver's weather is not harsh, but it is persistent. Most of the year's rain falls from October through May, often as days of light drizzle that keep a roof wet for weeks. That steady moisture is why moss grows so fast here and why small flashing gaps turn into rotted decking. A few times a year, an atmospheric river drops heavy rain fast and tests every valley and gutter. In fall and winter, cold east winds pour out of the Columbia River Gorge and hit east Vancouver, Camas, and Washougal hardest, lifting shingle tabs and stripping ridge caps.
Trees add a second layer. Tall Douglas firs shade many lots and drop needles that clog valleys and gutters. Limbs come down in wind and ice storms. Then there is the housing stock: early 1900s homes near downtown, mid-century ranches in central Vancouver, and 1980s to 2000s subdivisions to the east and north, many with cedar shake roofs now at the end of their life and HOAs that approve roof colors. We plan every job around those conditions, from the crew's tarps to the shingle color on the bid.

ADU roofing in Vancouver, WA: what to plan for before you build
Backyard cottages often get simple shed or low-pitch roofs that struggle in our long rainy season. Here is how to plan the roof shape, materials, drainage and timing for an ADU.

Some ceiling stains near outside walls are not roof leaks at all. They start where a lower roof meets the siding. Here is how that flashing works and how to spot a wall leak.

Read the guideRoofing questions from Vancouver homeowners
How fast can a roofer get to a leaking roof in Vancouver, WA?
We answer calls 24/7, and for active leaks we aim to get a crew out to tarp the opening as soon as it is safe to work on the roof. During big windstorms many homes call at once, so we handle the most urgent leaks first. Permanent repairs are scheduled once the weather allows, usually within a few days.
How much does a typical roof repair cost in Vancouver, WA?
Small repairs like replacing a cracked pipe boot or a few wind-damaged shingles often run about $385 to $940. Flashing repairs around chimneys or skylights and valley repairs usually cost more, often $760 to $2,180. These are typical ranges only. The real price comes after we look at the roof and the attic.
Should I repair or replace my roof in Vancouver, WA?
If the problem is in one spot and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair usually makes sense. If shingles are brittle and bare across several slopes, leaks keep showing up in new places, or the decking is soft in many areas, replacement is often the better spend. We show you photos so you can see the condition yourself.
Do you work on cedar shake roofs in Vancouver, WA?
Yes. We repair shake roofs, replace split or rotted shakes, and install new cedar. Many 1970s to 1990s shake roofs around Clark County are at the end of their life, so we also do shake-to-composite conversions, which involve adding a solid plywood or OSB deck over the old spaced boards before new shingles go on.
Is moss on my roof in Vancouver, WA a real problem or just cosmetic?
It is a real problem once it thickens. Moss roots along shingle edges, lifts the tabs, breaks the seal strips, and holds water against the surface. Over time that leads to granule loss and leaks. We remove it by treating and brushing by hand, never pressure washing, and can add zinc strips near the ridge to slow regrowth.
Do you handle roofs on both sides of the Columbia River?
Yes. Our main office is in downtown Vancouver, and we work across Clark County and nearby Southwest Washington as well as Portland-metro Oregon, including Gresham, Troutdale, Beaverton, and Lake Oswego. We also have an office in south Salem. Call and tell us your address, and we will let you know when a crew can be there.
