New Roof for Clark County

What a Proper Roof Installation Actually Means

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

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

Exterior Home Solutions installs every roof to manufacturer specifications. It's the only way to qualify for the full warranty, and the only way to make sure the roof performs the way it was designed to 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 to 28 years depending on material, ventilation, and exposure. At that age, a new installation is almost always more cost-effective than continued repairs, especially once multiple leak points develop.

Repair Costs Are Adding Up

When you've paid for repairs more than once in a few 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 decades of protection without the recurring repair cycle.

Selling or Refinancing

A new roof is the most effective way to remove the roofing line item from a buyer's inspection report. It supports your asking price, removes a key negotiating point, and often qualifies the home for lower insurance premiums.

Storm or Insurance Claim

Significant storm damage from East Wind events, hail, or major windstorms often leads to an insurance-covered installation rather than a repair. We provide thorough damage documentation to support your claim and manage the project from estimate to completion.

Upgrading Your Materials

End of life is an opportunity to upgrade. Moving from 3-tab to architectural shingles improves wind resistance, longevity, and curb appeal. Impact-resistant shingles can qualify 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 sign shingles have lost their UV protection. When it's happening across most of the roof, not just one section, a new installation is the right response.

Shingle Options

Choosing the Right Shingle for Your Clark County Home

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

Entry Level

3-Tab Shingles

A flat-profile shingle with solid weather protection at the lowest cost. A reasonable choice when budget is the main priority and the home isn't in a high-wind or high-moisture zone.

Warranty: 25 years
Wind rating: 60–70 mph
Profile: Flat / uniform
Best for: Budget installs

Most Popular · Best Value

Architectural / Dimensional

The right choice for most Clark County homes. Heavier and more wind-resistant than 3-tab, with a significantly longer warranty, better impact protection, and a dimensional profile that improves curb appeal.

Warranty: 30 years to lifetime
Wind rating: 110–130 mph
Profile: Dimensional / layered
Best for: Most Clark County homes

Premium

Impact-Resistant (IR)

Class 4 impact rating, the highest available, built to withstand hail and wind-driven debris. Recommended for Washougal and other Gorge-adjacent homes with East Wind exposure, and Cowlitz County homes where hail is more frequent. Often qualifies for insurance discounts.

Warranty: Lifetime
Impact rating: Class 4 (highest)
Wind rating: 130+ mph
Best for: High-wind and hail zones

How It Works

Our Roof Installation Process, Every Step Explained

01

Free On-Site Estimate

We inspect the existing roof, measure accurately, and give you a detailed estimate, not a ballpark. You see the exact shingle product, underlayment spec, scope, and total cost before any commitment.

Scope, specs, warranty terms & timeline

02

Material Selection

We help you choose between 3-tab, architectural, and impact-resistant shingles without steering you toward more than you need. HOA requirements are verified before ordering.

HOA verified · No upselling

03

Full Tear-Off & Deck Inspection

All existing roofing comes off down to the deck. Every inch is inspected for soft spots, water damage, or structural issues, and anything found is disclosed and priced before new material goes on.

No shortcuts hidden under new shingles

04

Underlayment & Ice/Water Shield

The layer most installers cut corners on, and the one that most affects longevity here. Ice-and-water barrier at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations, with underlayment throughout, installed to manufacturer spec.

Critical for PNW performance

05

Shingle Installation & Flashing

Shingles installed to manufacturer spec with the proper fastener pattern and alignment. All flashing at chimneys, skylights, walls, and valleys installed or replaced, plus ridge and hip caps.

Most homes done in one day

06

Final Walkthrough & Cleanup

We walk the finished roof with you and answer your questions before the job is done. Complete debris removal, a magnetic nail sweep, and warranty documentation at completion.

Installation Quality

What Separates a Quality Installation from a Shortcut

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 to 10 years early.

Ice & Water Shield Coverage

Critical in Clark County's freeze-thaw climate. Proper coverage extends up the eaves, into all valleys, and around every penetration.

✗ Shortcut: minimal coverage at eaves only, valleys left with felt

✓ 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.

✗ Shortcut: old flashing reused and sealed over with caulk

✓ Our approach: all flashing replaced and integrated with the underlayment

Deck Inspection & Repair

Installing new shingles over compromised decking is one of the most common failures. Hidden soft spots keep deteriorating under a new roof.

✗ Shortcut: deck issues covered over without inspection or disclosure

✓ Our approach: full deck inspection after tear-off, with transparent pricing on any repairs

Attic Ventilation

Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture in the attic, shortening shingle life from below and voiding many manufacturer warranties.

✗ Shortcut: ventilation never assessed or adjusted

✓ Our approach: ventilation assessed and corrected where needed during installation

Pricing

What Does Roof Installation Cost in Clark County?

Every roof is different, so every installation is priced for your specific home. Your cost depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the shingle you choose, the condition of the decking, how complex the roofline is, and whether insurance is involved.

We'll inspect your roof and give you a detailed estimate with exact scope, materials, and cost before you decide anything. Want background on pricing first? Read our roof cost guide for Vancouver, WA.

What Affects Installation Cost

Roof Size & Pitch

Total square footage is the main driver. Steeper pitches need extra safety equipment and labor time.

Shingle Product

3-tab, architectural, and impact-resistant shingles differ in material cost, warranty, and wind and impact ratings.

Deck Condition

Water-damaged sheathing found during tear-off must be replaced, identified and priced before work continues. No mid-project surprises.

Roofline Complexity

Dormers, multiple valleys, chimneys, skylights, and step flashing add material and labor.

Insurance vs. Out of Pocket

Storm and hail damage is often insurance-covered, and we document it for your claim. Age-related wear is typically out of pocket, and we're honest about which applies.

Common Questions

Roof Installation FAQ

How long does a new roof installation take in Clark County?

Most single-family homes in Clark County are completed in a single day, including tear-off, underlayment, shingles, and cleanup. Larger homes, steep rooflines, or significant deck repair may take two days. We give you a realistic timeline at your estimate.

What's the difference between roof installation and roof replacement?

They describe the same process from different angles. Roof replacement usually means removing an aging roof and installing a new one; roof installation is the broader term. The physical work is identical: tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, and new shingles. What matters is that it's done correctly.

Does a new roof installation require a permit?

It depends on your city. Vancouver requires a permit for full replacements. Unincorporated Clark County (Salmon Creek, Hazel Dell) requires a permit from Clark County Building & Fire Safety. Battle Ground exempts the first or second layer on single and two-family homes with no structural changes. We advise on your address and manage all permit applications.

What warranty comes with a new roof installation?

Every installation includes a manufacturer material warranty, typically 30-year to lifetime depending on the shingle, plus our workmanship warranty. Installing to manufacturer specifications is what qualifies the roof for the full warranty, which is why we don't cut corners on underlayment or flashing.

Can I stay home during the roof installation?

Yes. Most homeowners stay home. Tear-off is the loudest part of the day. We recommend keeping pets indoors and away from the work area, and our crew won't need interior access for a standard installation.

Do I need a new roof now, or can I wait?

Signs it's time: granules in gutters after rain, shingles cupping or curling across multiple sections, two or more active leaks, a roof 22+ years old, or leaks that return after repairs. If none apply, we'll tell you honestly at your free estimate that you have time.
