Roof Replacement · Longview, WA
Made for the wettest corner we serve.
Full tear-off asphalt shingle roof replacement for Longview homeowners, from the original 1920s planned-city homes to Columbia Heights and West Longview.
Serving Longview
Longview was designed and built in the 1920s by the Long-Bell Lumber Company, giving it one of the most distinctive planned-city housing stocks in the Northwest. The original grid's homes are now 80 to 100 years old and have had several roofs, and the 1950s–1970s expansion into Columbia Heights and the Highlands added many homes that are now squarely in the replacement window.
Sitting where the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers meet, Longview has the most moisture of anywhere we serve. Close to 50 inches of rain a year and frequent overcast skies mean fast moss growth, even on newer roofs, so algae-resistant shingles are a strong recommendation here.
The original Longview grid, Columbia Heights, the Highlands, the Old West Side, West Longview, and Columbia River frontage.
Two-river moisture, heavy rainfall, the highest moss growth we see, and elevated wind on hillside neighborhoods.
Cowlitz County, ZIP 98632, about 47 miles north of Vancouver via I-5.
By Neighborhood
What drives a replacement varies by neighborhood. We know each area and tailor our recommendations to what your home actually needs.
01
Planned City Core · 1920s–1940s
Some of the oldest homes we work on, often on their third or fourth roof. A complete tear-off is essential, and deck repair is more common here than anywhere else we serve.
✓ 80–100 year old homes
✓ Long-term moisture damage in decks
✓ Original masonry and flashing
✓ Third or fourth roof, full tear-off
02
Mid-Century Expansion
Homes from the 1950s–1970s, now 50 to 70 years old. Hillside views come with more wind exposure, and replacement here usually stops a cycle of recurring repairs.
✓ Roofs well past service life
✓ Elevated wind exposure
✓ Wind-rated shingles recommended
✓ End the repair cycle
03
West Longview · Mixed Era
A mix of home ages and timelines. Columbia River moisture reaches throughout, and river valley windstorms drive storm replacements.
✓ Assessment determines timing
✓ Algae-resistant shingles
✓ Storm and wind replacement
✓ Extra moisture protection

Common Questions
A 1930s home has likely had three or four roofs. We tear off every layer down to the deck and inspect it closely for moisture damage or rot, which is common in homes this age in Longview. Any deck repairs are priced before new material goes on, and we check ventilation too. The result is a fully renewed roof on a properly prepared base.
