What we install

Shingles: Owens Corning is where we usually start. We’re an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, which is part of why. We also install CertainTeed and GAF if you have a color or line you want. Metal: Taylor Metal, made to order for your roof. Your proposal names the exact product and color.

Three things to consider when picking a color

  • Does it work with your siding, trim and eaves? Bring a photo of the house.
  • Do you want snow to melt or hold? Darker roofs shed sooner in the sun.
  • Does your HOA have a list? Sunriver and Eagle Crest do. Bring it, and we’ll give you the material and color information they need.

Look at the real thing

Screens lie. Bronze on a monitor looks like burnt orange in the driveway. We bring physical samples, and we’ll put one on your roof in the sun before you commit.

What’s under the color

Ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, pipe flashing, roof-to-wall flashing. The parts you never see are the ones that keep water out. Here’s what each one does, or see metal roofing and what a replacement includes.

FAQ

Material and color questions

What roofing materials do you install?
Composition shingles and metal. Owens Corning is where we usually start on shingles; we also install CertainTeed and GAF. Metal is Taylor Metal standing seam, made to order for your roof. On flat and low-slope commercial roofs we install TPO. Your proposal names the exact product.
Who handles permits and association approvals?
We handle the permit when the job needs one. HOA approval is yours to get, and we give you the material and color information the association asks for. Sunriver and Eagle Crest both have lists; bring them early.
Is the roof inspection free?
Yes, free, with no obligation. A roofer, not a salesperson, walks your roof and you get a written assessment and proposal, usually the next business day. If you need the report for a sale or a claim, say so and we’ll write it that way.
