New Roof for Clark County

What a Proper New Roof
Installation Actually Means

A new roof installation is more than nailing shingles to a deck. The quality of the underlying system — the underlayment, the ice-and-water shield coverage, the flashing work, the ventilation — determines how long the roof actually lasts and whether the manufacturer warranty remains valid.

Clark County's climate makes this especially important. With 45 inches of annual rainfall, periodic East Wind events from the Columbia River Gorge, and biological growth accelerated by the region's moisture, a roof that was installed with shortcuts will underperform its rated lifespan by 5–10 years or more.

Exterior Home Solutions installs every roof to manufacturer specifications — because that's the only way to qualify for the full warranty and the only way to ensure the installation performs the way it was designed to perform in the Pacific Northwest.

Is a New Installation Right for You?

When a New Roof Installation
Is the Right Call

Roof Is 20+ Years Old
Asphalt shingles in the Pacific Northwest typically last 20–28 years depending on material quality, ventilation, and exposure. At that age, a full new installation is almost always more cost-effective than continued repairs — especially when multiple leak points have developed.
Repair Costs Are Adding Up
When you've spent $2,000–$4,000 on repairs over two or three years and the same areas keep leaking, the math has shifted. A new installation gives you a known starting point, a full manufacturer warranty, and 25+ years of protection without the recurring repair cycle.
Selling or Refinancing
A new roof is the single most effective way to remove the roofing line item from a buyer's inspection report. In the Clark County market, a new installation supports your asking price, removes a key negotiating point, and often qualifies the home for lower homeowners insurance premiums.
Storm or Insurance Claim
Significant storm damage — from East Wind events, hail, or major windstorms — often triggers a full insurance-covered installation rather than repair. We provide thorough damage documentation to support your claim and manage the installation from estimate through completion.
Upgrading Your Materials
When an existing roof reaches end of life, replacement is an opportunity to upgrade. Moving from 3-tab to architectural shingles improves wind resistance, longevity, and curb appeal. Upgrading to impact-resistant shingles can qualify you for insurance discounts in Cowlitz County and high-wind Gorge areas.
Widespread Granule Loss
Granules in your gutters or on the ground after rain are the clearest signal that shingles have lost their UV protection. When this is happening across the majority of the roof — not just one section — the entire surface has degraded and a new installation is the appropriate response.
Shingle Options

Choosing the Right Shingle
for Your Clark County Home

We install three grades of asphalt shingle — each with different performance characteristics, warranty lengths, and price points. We explain the real differences honestly so you can choose based on your home, your budget, and your timeline.

Entry Level
3-Tab Shingles
A flat-profile shingle that provides solid weather protection at the lowest cost point. A reasonable choice for budget-conscious installations where cost is the primary consideration and the home is not in a high-wind or high-moisture zone.
Warranty25 years
Wind rating60–70 mph
ProfileFlat / uniform
Best forBudget installs
Most Popular
Best Value
Architectural / Dimensional
The right choice for most Clark County homes. Architectural shingles are heavier, more wind-resistant, and carry a significantly longer warranty than 3-tab. The dimensional profile improves curb appeal and the added weight provides better impact protection from the debris and hail events common in this region.
Warranty30 yr to lifetime
Wind rating110–130 mph
ProfileDimensional / layered
Best forMost Clark County homes
Premium
Impact-Resistant (IR)
Class 4 impact rating — the highest available — designed to withstand hail, wind-driven debris, and high-velocity impacts. Particularly recommended for Washougal and other Gorge-adjacent properties with elevated East Wind exposure, and for Cowlitz County homes where hail events are more frequent. Often qualifies for homeowners insurance premium discounts.

How It Works

Our Installation Process —
Every Step, Explained

01
Free On-Site Estimate
A member of our team visits your home, inspects the existing roof or structure, measures accurately, and provides a detailed written estimate — not a ballpark. You see the exact shingle product, underlayment specification, scope, and total cost before making any commitment.
Written scope, material specs, warranty terms, and timeline confirmed in writing
02
Material Selection
We help you choose the right shingle for your home — 3-tab, architectural, or impact-resistant — and explain the real performance and cost differences without steering you toward a more expensive option than you need. HOA requirements are verified before ordering for neighborhoods with approved materials lists.
HOA requirements verified · No upselling · Honest material guidance
03
Full Tear-Off & Deck Inspection
All existing roofing material is removed completely — down to the deck. Every inch of the roof deck is inspected for soft spots, water damage, or structural issues. Any problems discovered are disclosed and priced transparently before new material goes on. No shortcuts hidden under new shingles.

04
Underlayment & Ice/Water Shield
This is the layer most installations cut corners on — and the layer that most directly affects longevity in Clark County's climate. We install ice-and-water barrier at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations, with appropriate felt underlayment throughout. Installed to manufacturer specifications to ensure full warranty coverage.

Installation Quality

What Separates a Quality
Installation from a Shortcut

Not all roof installations are equal. The shingle you choose matters — but the installation practices underneath it matter more. Here's what we do differently, and what shortcuts look like when they fail 5–10 years early.

Ice & Water Shield Coverage
Critical in Clark County's freeze-thaw climate. Proper coverage extends up eaves, into all valleys, and around every penetration.
✗ Shortcut: minimal coverage at eaves only, valleys left with felt only
✓ Our approach: full coverage per manufacturer spec at all critical zones
Flashing Installation
The leading cause of roof leaks in Clark County is flashing failure, not shingle failure. New flashing at every penetration and transition is non-negotiable.
✗ Shortcut: old flashing reused, sealed over with caulk only
✓ Our approach: all flashing replaced and properly integrated with underlayment
Deck Inspection & Repair
Installing new shingles over compromised decking is one of the most common installation failures. Hidden soft spots continue to deteriorate beneath a new roof.
✗ Shortcut: deck issues covered over without inspection or disclosure
✓ Our approach: full deck inspection after tear-off, transparent pricing on any repairs
Attic Ventilation
Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture in the attic — shortening shingle life from below and voiding manufacturer warranties on many products.
✗ Shortcut: ventilation not assessed, no adjustment made during installation
✓ Our approach: ventilation assessed and corrected where needed during installation

What Affects Installation Cost

Roof Size & Pitch
Total square footage is the primary driver. Steeper pitches require additional safety equipment and labor time — factored transparently in your written estimate.
Shingle Product Selected
3-tab, architectural, and impact-resistant shingles vary by $3–$5 per sq ft in material cost. We explain real differences so you can choose based on performance and budget.
Deck Condition
Water-damaged or soft sheathing found during tear-off must be replaced. Identified and priced transparently before work continues — no mid-project surprises.
Roofline Complexity
Dormers, multiple valleys, chimneys, skylights, and step flashing all add material and labor. All accounted for in your written estimate before work begins.
Insurance vs. Out of Pocket
Storm and hail damage is often insurance-covered. We provide damage documentation for your claim. Age-related wear is typically out of pocket — we're honest about which applies.

Common Questions

New Roof Installation FAQ

Most single-family homes in Clark County are completed in a single day — tear-off, underlayment, shingle installation, and full cleanup. Larger homes, steep rooflines, or projects requiring significant deck repair may take two days. We provide a realistic timeline at your written estimate based on your home's specific scope.
They describe the same process from different angles. "Roof replacement" typically refers to removing an aging roof and installing a new one in its place. "Roof installation" is the broader term that covers both replacement and any new shingle installation. The physical work is identical: tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, and new shingles. We use both terms interchangeably — what matters is that the process is done correctly regardless of what it's called.
It depends on your city. Vancouver requires a permit for full replacements. Unincorporated Clark County (Salmon Creek, Hazel Dell) requires an RSW permit from Clark County Building & Fire Safety. Battle Ground has a notable exemption — no permit is required for the first or second layer on single and two-family homes with no structural changes. We advise on the specific requirements for your address at your estimate and manage all permit applications as part of the project.
Every installation includes a manufacturer material warranty — typically 30-year to lifetime depending on the shingle product selected — plus our workmanship warranty covering the installation itself. Both warranties are documented and provided to you at project completion. Installing to manufacturer specifications is what qualifies the roof for the full manufacturer warranty, which is why we don't cut corners on underlayment or flashing.
Yes — most homeowners stay home during installation. You'll notice noise and vibration during the tear-off phase, which is the loudest part of the day. We recommend keeping pets indoors and away from the work area. Our crew won't need interior access for a standard installation. Most Clark County homeowners are surprised by how minimally disruptive a one-day installation actually is.
Clear indicators that installation is the right call now rather than later: granule accumulation in your gutters or downspouts after rain, shingles that are visibly cupping or curling across multiple sections, two or more active leak points, a roof 22 years or older with no replacement history, or recurring leaks that have returned after previous repairs. If none of these apply, we'll tell you honestly at your free estimate that you have time — we don't push installations that aren't needed yet.
