Roofing across Skamania County and the Washington Gorge, WA 98648

Homes along the Highway 14 corridor range from older houses in Stevenson and North Bonneville to newer places on the hillsides. Up the valleys toward Carson and beyond, cabins and rural homes become more common, many on wooded lots with long gravel driveways. Metal is the most common roof we install out here, because it sheds snow, resists moss and needs little attention. Composite shingles remain popular on full-time homes in town, and older cabins often still carry cedar shake that is worn and mossy. Many cabins also have woodstove chimneys whose flashing and caps need regular attention.

Many properties have outbuildings, from detached garages to woodsheds and small shops. Those often have light framing and simple metal roofs that we can repair or replace when snow or limbs do damage. We price every structure on its own. Snow sliding off a metal house roof can also land on a lower woodshed or porch roof, so we look at how the buildings sit next to each other and add snow guards where they help.

The Gorge brings some of the heaviest rain in our service area, and winds that funnel through the canyon can blow from the east or the west, sometimes changing direction within one storm. Rain driven sideways tests ridge vents, skylights, chimneys and every edge on the roof. Higher elevations up the valleys see more snow, and ice storms coat trees and roofs alike, bringing down limbs from the dense forest. Wet, shaded hillsides grow moss fast, and roofs on cabins that sit empty can go a whole winter with debris piling up in valleys and gutters.

Because the drive is longer, we group jobs in the county and try to inspect, measure and complete small repairs on the first visit. For replacements, we check with Skamania County or the City of Stevenson on permits. Second-home owners can approve work by phone after seeing our photos. Storm calls come through our 24/7 line, and we will tarp as soon as roads and weather allow. Every visit ends with photos and a clear price for each roof on the property.
