Wood Shake Roof Installation Services in Vancouver, WA
Wood Shake Roof Installation Tailored for Vancouver, WA
Wood shake roofs suit Vancouver's wet climate when installed correctly. Local weather brings heavy rain and moss growth, which cause leaks and rot if installers skip key steps. Our crews prevent these by using pressure-treated Western Red Cedar shakes and applying fire-retardant coatings from the start.
Homeowners face high repair costs from poor ventilation or inadequate underlayment. We install continuous ridge vents and ice-and-water shields to direct water away and maintain airflow. This setup lasts through winter storms common here.
Our Step-by-Step Process
- Site inspection checks roof deck, pitch, and drainage to ensure suitability.
- Material delivery includes graded shakes, felt underlayment, and stainless steel fasteners.
- Remove old roofing, repair decking, then lay double underlayment layers.
- Hand-nail shakes in fanning pattern for water shedding and wind resistance.
- Install ridge caps, vents, and gutters, followed by cleanup of all debris.
Each job takes 1-2 weeks, depending on roof size. We coordinate with permits from Clark County.
Warranty and Support
Our workmanship warranty covers 10 years against defects in labor. Shakes carry a 30-year limited manufacturer warranty for splitting or decay. We schedule annual inspections for the first five years at no added cost. This protects your investment in our region's damp conditions.
