Reliance Roof Pros

At Reliance Roof Pros, roofing in the Northwest requires focus and science to get the best possible result. Industry statistics show that for every new roof installed, there are 5-6 repair jobs that are performed. People do not repair worn out roofs—they replace them! This means that the minimum ratio of roofs that require work before they are worn-out is 5 to 1. We want to help you receive the information needed to make a wise choice to avoid the pitfalls of our unique environment. It is a sick feeling to know you spent good money on a bad result. The Northwest region (Oregon and Washington) is one of the most challenging environments for roof performance and roofing services in the world. We have a number of factors that create tremendous stress on the waterproofing and roofing integrity of our homes and buildings. The metro areas of the Northwest have about 40 inches of rain a year, mostly compressed into 8 months. We have heavy tree debris and moss. We have cool/cold temperatures with heavy moisture/high humidity, leading to a mold and mildew growing environment which affects the underside of the roof, and encourages rot in the wood supporting the roof. Because we do not have a lot of snow load, our homes are built lighter and with lesser roof slope than other homes throughout the northern United States. We also had a large “tech boom” building phase in the 90’s that led to some sub-par construction methods that we are still paying for.
